We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Dad Kat. He is a 4 year old, and has a progressive case of FeLV – or Feline Leukemia Virus – which will shorten his lifespan, and we are hoping to find him a loving indoor-only home where he can live out his life. Despite his diagnosis, he can be social and affectionate with those he knows, once he is comfortable in his new space. Dad Kat would need to be the only cat in the household, or have feline friends that also have FeLV. Interested adopters should click the inquire button below to learn more and shelter staff will provide additional counseling on FeLV and answer any questions at the time of adoption.
More info on FeLV can be found here: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951934
Introducing Bandit, a handsome and mysterious fellow in search of a special someone who can appreciate his unique charms. This dashing gentleman may initially keep his distance, preferring to observe the world from the shadows. Touch is not on his agenda, at least not right away—or perhaps ever. But beneath his cautious exterior lies a heart full of untapped potential, waiting for the right person to unlock it.
Bandit’s ideal home is a tranquil haven where he can feel safe and secure, with patient companions who understand his need for space and independence. With time and understanding, Bandit may surprise you with his quiet affection and loyalty, proving that even the most elusive hearts can be won over with love and patience. If you’re ready to welcome a furry companion who marches to the beat of his own drum, Bandit could be the perfect match for you.

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. Guinea pigs need a minimum 6.5 sqft wire cage (30”x36”) for 1-2 guinea pigs but preferably 10.5 sqft (30”x50”) for 2 guinea pigs and a minimum 8 sqft for 3 guinea pigs but preferably 13 sqft (30”x62”). Cages must have a solid bottom and more room is always encouraged!

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!
If you would like to learn more about the Working Cat Program, or would like to fill out an application, please visit: www.mspca.org/barncat
Trixie is a sweet and sassy little husky pup who can’t wait to find her new best friend! She came to us from a southern shelter so we don’t know much about her history, but she has been very snuggly with us! Trixie has been through a lot of transitions in a short period of time and is looking for a family that can help her adjust at her own pace. She has been interested in making dog friends and could likely do well with a social dog to show her the ropes.
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.

Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

I am here at the shelter looking for my new home because I was fearful of the dog in my previous home. I stayed in a foster home while I waited for a dental, and my foster mom said that I am wonderful when approached on my own terms. I love to be pet and brushed, but only when I want them. When I am ready I will come up to you with head bumps, or put my paw on your arm. My adopter should use consent tests with me, and let me initiate contact, or scratches may be the result.
I will need a slow introduction to my new home. After several weeks in foster I became much more snuggly and affectionate, and 90% of the time I would sit on laps when they were available, but even then my cues needed to be watched.
I love sitting by windows to watch birds in a tall cat tree. I`ll occasionally show interest in wand toys and pounce toys, but mostly I like naps and lap time.
My ideal adopter will be very cat-savvy, who will let me initiate every social interaction, and who will read and understand my cat-body language. I am a really lovely cat, but with the right adopter!!
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Compatibility:
Cats: No thanks!
Dogs: No thanks!
Kids: Teens and older who are very cat-savvy
Kiki is a happy, goofy girl ready to find a home of her own! This hefty gal is a great mix of energetic and snuggly, she loves to play and then take a nice nap after all the excitement. Kiki is still learning manners and hasn’t quite realized how big she is yet. She is looking for a family who wants to practice some basic manners like keeping her feet on the floor! Kiki isn’t too sure about other dogs and would likely prefer to be the center of attention. She might do okay with kids who don’t mind being bumped around by a big pittie bum!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 several adorable Welsh Harlequin female ducks available for adoption! Ducks are very social animals, so we’d love to send these birds home in pairs at least (and even better if you already have a flock for them to join)! They have beautiful coloring on their feathers and love to splash in their pool!
We have several gorgeous geese available for adoption! Geese are very social animals, so we’d love to send these birds home in pairs at least (and even better if you already have a flock for them to join)! Geese make great flock protectors and these guys and gals would love a job to do.

I enjoy laying next to my person on the couch, and I enjoy playing. In fact, it will be important for my adopter to provide lots of playtime and enrichment for me. I have good litter box manners!
I will need a slow introduction to my new home, starting in one quiet room with managed hiding places, and gradually be given access to more of the home as I settle in. I should be left alone except for feeding and cleaning at the beginning, and let me solicit interactions as I become comfortable.
A fear free vet is recommended: I am sensitive for close handling and I do not like to be picked up or held. My adopter should be cat-savvy and comfortable with reading cat-body language.
Petting consent tests should be used to prevent unwanted behavior.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Meet our smushy and sweet girl Nelly! Nelly is a 5 year old dog who is energetic, smart, and loves her people! While she requires a little bit of time to get lovey with her new family, once she knows you she is sweet as a peach. Nelly is looking for adopters who are willing to give her adult-self adequate time and space to fully transition into her new home, as she`s been through a lot of change in a pretty short period of time. This means respecting her boundaries, and taking it slow while she gets to know everyone in the home.
Bonus: Nelly appears to be house-trained already, but adopters should understand that in a new setting it might take her some time to always make the mark! Nelly is currently looking to go to a home where she is the only pet, but has the potential to live in a neighborhood that has dogs in it- so long as her people are diligent in how they go about doing introductions! Nelly has no known experience living with kids, but could likely do well with teens who are able to read dog body language and give her space while she settles in.
If Nelly sounds like a fit for your home, feel free to stop by our Cape Adoption Center 1PM-4PM Tuesday-Sunday!

Are you ready to meet Sable? This young girl has tons of energy. She is
an adventure buddy waiting for an adventure! Did you know she loves to
swim? She is also happy to curl up beside you and play with a squeaky
toy. This girl loves her toys! She can entertain herself. And prepare to
give up personal space because this girl loves to snuggle. Sable would do
well living with a well-matched dog friend. She says no thank you to
living with cats. And she could potentially live with kids that could
participate in her training. As bright and smart as she is, this good girl
needs some help with her manners. Her energy level is high so she will
need lots of exercise before she can work and train. Since we dont know
her history, her family may have to do some puppy proofing of the house.
Does this pretty girl sound like the dog for you? Visit her at the MSPCA
at Nevins Farm Tuesday-Sunday 12-4:30PM.
Rose is a sweet and shy lady who is looking for a new home of her own! Rose came to us with a group of dogs that we received from an overcrowded kennel environment in the Texas. We don’t know too much about her history, but we know she is already making progress and coming out of her shell in New England. Rose has been through a lot of transitions in a short period of time and she is looking for a patient family who can help show her the ropes and adjust to a home environment at her own pace. She can be nervous in new situations, but she is already getting more comfortable and asking for snuggles with some of her friends. Rose has been around other dogs and might do well with another social dog to help build her confidence. She might be okay with older kids who can read her body language and respect her boundaries!
