This cat is part of our Working Cat Program! This program is for cats that are not well suited for an indoor-only type lifestyle but would thrive in environments with more space, a job, and/or less pressure from humans and other pets.
This cat originally came to us from the outdoors so we don’t know a lot about his past. While they are used to people being in somewhat close proximity to feed and care for them, these are not currently social cats but would make great ‘behind the scenes’ working cats! Interested adopters must have a safe, secure structure or barn for a working cat and be able to provide adequate time for acclimation.
If you are interested, please give us a call today!

Hi … I am Milo, and a few days ago I was flown up from Ft. Worth Texas to find my forever home here in New England. We have no history for me, and I am a bit scared right now, having been through such transition over the past week.
I will need a slow introduction to my new home, litter box, and any existing pets while I settle in and become comfortable in my new surroundings.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 3:00pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Say Hey to Regina George! Regina is a sassy and playful Lionhead Rabbit who is ready for her new home! Regina George would do best with an experienced bunny owner, as she has a bit of spicyness to her.
We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows a rabbit to stretch their legs and move around. The needs of each rabbit are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rabbit you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice
Meet Mario! This handsome fella came to us from a home without much history known. He can take a little time to warm up and would likely do best in a quieter home. He lived with many other cats and would likely do well living with other cats!
If you’re interested in adopting a cat, stop by Tues-Sun from 1-4 during our open hours.
Meet Rosie, the reserved 2-year-old cat who prefers observing from the sidelines. While she may take some time to warm up, Rosie has a quiet charm that shines through in her own time. She enjoys finding cozy spots to relax and watch the world go by. Rosie is seeking a calm and patient household where she can gradually build trust and feel at ease. If you’re looking for a low-key feline companion who appreciates a quiet environment, Rosie could be the perfect match for you.
Meet Sassie, the sunshine-loving sweetheart looking for her forever home! At just one year old, Sassie is a purr-fect blend of elegance and affection. With her luxurious fur and graceful demeanor, she’s sure to capture your heart from the moment you meet her.
Sassie’s favorite pastime? Lounging around and soaking up the sun! Whether it’s basking in a sunbeam by the window or stretching out lazily on a cozy cushion, she knows how to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Her laid-back attitude makes her the ideal companion for relaxed afternoons and lazy weekends.
But don’t let her chilled-out vibe fool you—Sassie is also a big fan of attention! She craves affection and isn’t shy about letting you know it. When she’s in the mood for pets, she’ll happily rub herself against your legs until she gets the love and attention she deserves. With Sassie around, you’ll never be short on cuddles or companionship.
If you’re looking for a furry friend who’s equal parts mellow and affectionate, look no further than Sassie. Come meet this lovable sun worshipper today and discover the joy of having a feline friend who’s always ready to brighten your day!
This group of parakeets are social, playful and colorful birds, that are looking for their next home! Parakeets are flock birds, so this friend needs to be adopted in a pair, group or go home to another parakeet!
If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed.
*Before coming to the adoption center, we ask that you have a housing unit ready, in case you end up finding an animal you’d like to adopt.
If you haven’t picked out an enclosure yet, we’d love to help! The Association of Avian Veterinarians has a chart on the minimum cage dimensions that are acceptable for housing the birds we commonly see in our adoption center. As a rule of thumb, get the largest cage you can provide—the bigger the better!
A few important recommendations
SIZE: Wire or mesh cages are preferred that are at least 1.5 to 2 times the wingspan of the bird in all directions. When a bird spreads both wings out, there should be enough room so the wings and tail are not touching any cage bars including top or bottom. The bird should be able to easily spin around on a perch without the tail hitting any cage bars including top/bottom of the cage. The cage should be big enough that the bird can fly with ease from the bottom of the cage to the top without the wings touching any cage bars or any other obstacles (like toys).
BAR SPACING: Make sure the spacing of the bars is small enough that your bird cannot escape! Select a finger or fingers that appear to be the same thickness as the bird’s wing. When checking bar spacing, if your finger or fingers (thickness) fits between the cage bar spacing, then the cage bar spacing is not proper for that bird (a bird could get harmed).
We suggest covering wire mesh platforms or bottoms with a layer of newspaper or other solid surface as exposed wire can cause abrasions to feet, as well as possibly catch and break toes and tails
Companion Birds should receive at least a half hour to an hour of interaction time with their human family; such as training, playing, and/or socially interacting.

Introducing Charlie! Charlie is another Texas boy looking for his New England home.
We have no history on how Charlie may do in a home, so his adopters will need to be patient while they allow him to decompress and adjust to his new environment. Charlie walks very well on leash and would love a family that can take him out on walks about town!
Stop by the shelter if you are interested in speaking with our staff about him!

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.
