Lucky’s days as the neighborhood tomcat might be over, but he hopes his days as your feline friend are just beginning! Lucky’s life up until now has been spent living outdoors in an area with many cats. While he’s been known to mingle with many of the female felines, he’s ready to put his bachelor life behind him. Lucky’s neighborhood caretakers describe him as sweet, lovable boy who wants plenty of snacks and pets. While the other cats in his colony prefer to live a life separate from humans, Lucky’s caretakers are pretty sure he’d like a human family to cozy up with.
In the shelter, Lucky’s been slow to open up as it’s his first time living indoors! After he has a chance to get to know you and get more comfortable, he’ll lean into pets and purr – especially if you have tasty treats! Lucky could succeed as an indoor/outdoor house cat, or might be a great fit if you’re looking for a friendly barn cat! He seems to enjoy other felines, too, so would be happy to have kitty roommates.
Introducing Her Majesty, Princess Diana! This elegant feline is seeking a kingdom to call her own. With her dignified presence and royal grace, Princess Diana rules her domain with a gentle paw. She can be sweet and affectionate when she desires, gracing her loyal subjects with purrs and cuddles.

She’d do best in a home with adults and older kids who can read her body language and give her space when she needs it. If you’re ready to welcome a majestic companion into your castle, Princess Diana awaits to reign over your heart with regal charm and undeniable grace.

Snoopy is a shy young pup with impressive ears! He came to us as a stray, so he is a bit nervous and reserved due to all the changes in his life.
Once he is comfortable, he is a playful, bouncy guy who loves his people. He is looking for an adopter that will give him time to adjust to his new
environment and keep his world small and controlled. He is still young so his adopter will need to puppy proof the house and work on his puppy
manners. With appropriate management, Snoopy could live with another dog or a dog-savvy cat. And older kids with good shy-dog skills would also
work.
Are you interested in meeting Snoopy? If so, please visit us at the Methuen MSPCA location Tuesday-Sunday from 12PM-3PM.
Meet Max, the Lone Star State’s most enthusiastic foodie! This Texas tornado of energy is ready to spice up your life with his zest for treats and tail-wagging adventures.
Max’s mysterious past only adds to his charm – who knows what wild tales he has from the Lone Star State? But one thing’s for sure: this pup’s appetite for life is as big as the Texas sky. He loves food sooo much that he really prefers not to share so would do best in a home with older children only.
So, if you’re craving a sidekick who’s part food enthusiast, part dynamo, then Max is your mutt! Stop by the shelter during open hours to talk with our adoption staff about him today!

Syn is a social young rat, who enoys being held and hanging out on shoulders!
Rats are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! Due to the highly social nature of rats we prefer to match them with homes with existing rats, or to adopters looking to take home two or more rats. Rats can be food driven (and great foragers!) making them excellent animals to train. We always recommend the use of positive reinforcement training with your animals, and are happy to provide more information on this topic.
We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows the rat plenty of space to exercise. The minimum cage size should be 2’x2.5’x2’, with good ventilation (no glass enclosures) and must have a solid base. Preferably the shelter includes multiple levels, with appropriate use of linens or paper bedding and lots of rat appropriate toys. Rats should never be housed with other animals, each species should always have its own housing.
The needs of each rat are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rat you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Say hello to Colin! Colin is young and active. He is a little shy at first but warms up very quickly and will lay down at your feet with some back scratches! He would make a great companion for a first time pig family where he can teach all about finding the best snacks and making the best wallow. Due to his background, Colin would prefer an outdoor home where he can enjoy the run and practicing his natural behaviors such as rooting. If you are interested in learning more about Colin, please submit an adoption inquiry form.

Budgerigars, the most common parakeet we see, are native to Australia where they live in massive flocks in the grasslands. Parakeets tend to be docile, gentle, can be easy to tame and can even talk! Despite their small size, these birds can have large vocabularies and can make a wonderful training companion. We recommend that parakeets live in pairs or groups whenever possible. Parakeets can live up to 7-15 years with proper nutrition and care, and can be a loyal companion.
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. Nests can be provided but should be removed if any females begin to lay eggs. We do not recommend a seed only diet as it can lead to malnutrition and other potential issues, please consult your vet for specific diet recommendations.
The needs of each parakeet are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the parakeet you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.
