More about Cookie:

SPECIAL ADOPTER ALERT!!!

I am a very sweet, independent and quiet, mature lady who is looking for a retirement home to live out my golden years. I enjoy pets and belly rubs!

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. I will need assistance with keeping up my grooming since I needed to have matts shaved when I arrived.

Staff will review my medical records with my potential adopter to ensure they have a full understanding of my current and future medical needs. I have kidney disease, a grade 3 heart murmur, dental disease, and I am showing signs that I will develop thyroid disease. The shelter`s vet team determined that I am comfortable to be placed for hospice since I currently have a quality of life. My adopter will need to have a close relationship with a vet, and be able to discern when my quality of life has declined enough to make a tough call. My adopter should be aware that my remaining time will be all about quality, not quantity.

I was previously an indoor-outdoor cat, but it is felt that at this point in my life I will be able to adjust to indoors only.

The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Compatibility:
Dogs: Possibly – did well living with a mellow, cat-savvy dog in her previous home.
Cats: Was attacked by neighborhood cats, but may do okay with an existing quiet cat.
Kids: Yes!

Meet Stoney

This 12 year old spayed female cat is looking for her new home. Stoney is a bit on the shy side so
would do best in a very quiet home with a low key lifestyle (not a lot of visitors/comings and goings).
She would need some time to adjust to her new surroundings. She has a good history of living with an another cat, but a slow intro into the home with other cats would be very beneficial for her. In her own time once she gets to know her person, she is very affectionate.

Stoney is hanging out in a less stressful area of the adoption center, so please ask staff for more info.

Feel free to stop by the shelter during open hours (Tuesdays thru Sundays 1pm to 3pm) if you’re interested in adopting Stoney

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.

Meet Betsy, our sensitive and special cat in need of a patient and understanding adopter! Transitioning to a new home can be overwhelming for her so she’s searching for someone willing to give her all the time she needs to settle in comfortably. Betsy’s success hinges on adopters who can read and understand her body language, as meeting new people can be quite daunting for her.

She may find solace in a small bubble once she settles in with you. Think of her as a “pet themselves on you” kind of cat; she should always initiate interactions, and a “petting consent test” could be helpful in ensuring she’s comfortable and in control of the situation. If you’re ready to provide a loving and understanding forever home to this special kitty, come meet Betsy today and embark on a journey of mutual trust and companionship.

Meet Jackson! This little guy is looking for his forever home. Hamsters are crepuscular by nature, meaning they are most active during “dawn” and “dusk” hours! When the sun is up, Jackson is usually deep in sleep, burried under his cozy bedding. When he is awake, Jackson can be found running on his wheel, or updating his tunnel system. Jackson is hoping to get a room upgrade in his new home, which will give him lots of space to burrow and tunnel.

Seeking companionship? Your search might just end with Lucy. Lucy is an
old soul who is a big fan of fetch. While she might take a few minutes
to warm up, once she does youll see her sweetness shining through. Lucy
has had housetraining and will need to practice when she gets to her new
home. She would also benefit from some time to decompress and learn about
her new environment. Lucy is a very curious girl and she cannot wait to
investigate all of your shelves and counters! Lucy can live with calm dog
companions who are more interested in being friends than in high energy
play. Lucy is open to sharing a home with a feline friend who understands
doggy etiquette and can participate in a gradual introduction. Lucy would
do well in a home with kids who are attuned to her signals and can read her
body language. Adopters will also need to be comfortable supporting Lucy in
managing a medical issue – Lucy is still building her confidence with
being handled by the vet.

Want to meet Lucy? Visit the MSPCA at Nevins Farm in Methuen Tuesday-Sunday
12PM-4:30PM.

Introducing Daisy! As beautiful as her flowery name suggests, Daisy is also just as sensitive. She came to us from an overcrowded kennel situation in TX and we know very little about her history, but we do know that she has been sweet with the adoption staff here. With some patience and an adopter who can take a gentle approach to helping her settle in, we know she’ll blossom into the best pup she can be! Daisy is looking for a lower-traffic home. She could potentially live with older children who have some shy dog skills under their belt, potentially cats, or another well-matched dog.

If you think this dog could be a good match for your home 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 to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog that’s a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources.

For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they’re interested in – and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

Introducing the ever-so-gracious and slightly whisker-greyed, Zoey! At the grand age of 20, Zoey is our in-house philosopher, specializing in the art of relaxation and the ancient practice of sunbathing. Don’t let her age fool you; she’s as spry in spirit as a kitten, albeit with a touch more wisdom and a preference for early bedtimes.

Zoey’s hobbies include seeking out the coziest corners for her naps, perfecting the art of the gentle ear scratch appreciation purr, and offering sage advice to younger cats about the importance of regular naps. She does prefer to offer this advice via Zoom instead of in person however, cats are not her thing and she would prefer to live without them.

Zoey does have hyperthyroidism that is managed with daily medication and has early stage kidney disease. A good relationship with a vet is a plus. She’s looking for a serene kingdom to rule over, where her subjects (that’s you!) will shower her with love, cozy nooks, and the occasional sunbeam to bask in.

If your home is in need of a dignified, affectionate, and divine feline overlord, Zoey promises to fill that role with grace and a touch of catitude. Visit Zoey today during our open hours and let her show you that sometimes, the best things in life come with a little bit of fur and a lot of purrs.
