A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30″ x 50″ with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged!

Finches have a wonderful voice, and can be a joy to watch, but tend not to be a “hands on” bird. Native to Australia, finches can live up to 10 years with proper nutrition and care. We recommend that finches live in pairs or groups whenever possible.
We recommend a cage that is at least 27”x24” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ½” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of perches, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. As a result of finches being a “hands off” bird they tend to spend much of their lives inside their cage, so we heavily recommend investing in a very spacious cage with lots of enrichment.
The needs of each finch are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the finch you are interested in, please give us a call! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.
* If you think you are a good fit, stop by Tues-Sun from 1-4 during our open hours! For more information on our adoption process, please visit www.mspca.org/capeadoptionprocess .

Goats are herd animals and need the company of other goats to be healthy and happy. We are looking for adopters who can take at least a pair of goats or have an existing herd at home that they’d like to expand. Interested adopters should have housing for their goats to include proper shelter from the elements and fencing to contain these notorious escape artists. As they say – if it can’t hold water, it can’t hold a goat!
All goats are up to date on their medical needs, but will need routine maintenance moving forward for things like hoof trims and yearly vaccines.

Worried about ticks and flies around your barn this summer? Our guinea fowl can help! We have several male guinea fowl available for adoption and they are experts at eating up any and all insects around your property.

They have stunning feathers and a very distinct voice when they get all riled up. They are a super entreating bunch who love to zoom around in their outdoor enclosure and perch up high in the sunshine.

Meet Ginger, a spirited adult female canine searching for her forever family. Initially cautious around new faces, Ginger blossoms into an exuberant, playful companion once she feels secure. Though her enthusiasm can lead to some jumpy moments, she’s diligently refining her etiquette. We think this sensitive soul would do best in a home as an only dog, though she might enjoy a couple of well matched dog friends.
Cholula and Tapatio were originally kittens in an outdoor cat colony. In their first year, they moved inside with a kind samaritan who cared for the colony. These sweet kitties are shy at first given their history of starting life at a distance from people, but they have been known to make human friends with plenty of time and space to grow their confidence. They could be adopted together or separately. Each of these kitties would likely benefit from having a confident feline friend at home, so if you have a resident cat looking for a pal, one of these hot sauce cats might be right for you!

More about Simba:
Simba wandered into an apartment complex and some very nice people realized he was lost and brought him to the shelter. He is a handsome boy looking for a quiet, low-traffic home to call his own. He does not appreciate a lot of chaos and the shelter can be a bit stressful so it has been hard for him to relax while waiting for his new family.
Since there is no background information on this boy we are making some best guessing on how he will be in a home. He seems like a low key guy who just wants to lounge around. I am sure he would appreciate a nice sunny window seat and a few comfy beds to stretch out in. He seems like the type of kitty who prefers to make the first move regarding affection. He hasn’t shown a playful side while here but he most likely gets the case of the zoomies every now and then.
Simba is looking for an adopter who is willing to give him as much time as needed to settle in … this could be a couple of days or a couple of weeks. His ultimate success will be dependent upon how well his adopter is able to read and understand his body language.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

We’re looking for a calm home with no young kids running around – we prefer our quiet time for naps and cozy cuddles. And while we’d love to stick together like peanut butter and jelly, we understand if you can only handle one dollop of chihuahua love at a time.
