Earl

Earl is the sweetest cat around and is estimated to be about 7 years old. He enjoys gazing out the window and sleeping at the foot of your bed. He loves nothing more than to get head and chin scratches and if you scratch his upper shoulders you’ll get to hear his nice low rumble of a purr that doesn't stop! Once you get Earl purring from pets and scratches he will usually beg for more.

Dorothy

Dorothy is a beautiful girl, 1 - 2 years old, who is looking for an understanding home.

As 1 of 68 cats taken from a hoarding situation, Dorothy was undersocialized to people when she first came to us several months ago. With time and patience, Dorothy has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate girl. Dorothy needs a home that will give her plenty of time to adjust and come out of her shell.

Oliver

Hi I'm Oliver! I'm a smart 8 year old boy who decided to rescue myself one day when I showed up at the door of a volunteer. You see, life on the street was tough and exhausting and I'd had enough of it. Now, I'm more than ready for endless relaxing and cuddling. How about on your lap?

While I was acting like a tough guy on the street, I picked up FIV. But FIV is really not a big deal in cats. I can even live with other non FIV+ cats in an adoptive home.

Scottie

Scottie is a black and white male who was surrendered with his sister, Sophie, and is very protective of her! Both are gentle cats who were initially shy in the Adoption Center. Now that they've moved to a homier environment with a foster mom, they are blossoming into happy, loving kitties. Scottie has turned into a lovebug and Sophie now rolls over for belly rubs!

Willow

Meet Willow! She's a downy-soft glamour-girl with extra toes and a smidge of cattitude. Her whiskey-smoked meow and big green eyes will sweep you off your feet. She'll greet you with purrs and bump her head into your arm for pats. Willow adores attention—in fact a little worship would be just fine with her! But don't take this princess for granted! If she's had enough, she'll raise a paw as a little reminder of who is the royalty around here. Give her a bit of space, and she's ready for more love and coos. Willow gladly accepts offerings, especially catnip and yummies in little cans. She's inquisitive and sociable, and would adore a kingdom of her own with many cozy cushions and a servant or two at her beck and mew.

Sadie

My name is Sadie and I am about 5 years old. I’m a pittie mix (I think!) and really want to be your new best friend. I’m up to date on all my vaccinations, including heart worm and flea/tick and I’m already spayed.

I’m not sure how I feel about cats quite yet, but I’m ok with other dogs that live in my foster home. My foster moms told me that I’m still learning how to play. I have so much energy and really want to be on the trails, out running, or going on adventures! The couch might be my new favorite place though!

Toby

My name is Toby. Picked up as a stray, I am a skinny guy who needs some fattening up. Guesstimated to be 2 years old, I weigh in at around 28 lbs but should be in the 35-40 lb range. I look like a mini lab retriever so if you love labs but don't want a large dog, I could be your guy. I have a sweet, gentle disposition and love to be outside, but given the arctic conditions lately, snuggled up on the couch is even better

Snoopster

My name is Snoopster because one of my favorite things to do is "snoop" around! I am a loving, and lovable, five (5) year old boxer/pittie mix, maybe with some sighthound thrown in too! I am ready to be your winter training buddy, and then cuddle on the couch when we're done. I can walk ten miles in the city, and run up 100 steps and still have energy, but when we're not being active the couch is my spot, preferably under the blankets spooning you, and snoring!

Mr. W

Mr. W is a Cairn Terrier mix with many of the redeeming qualities only a Terrier lover can appreciate. Mr. W's estimated age is between 6 and 8 years old. He weighs 18 pounds and he's house trained. His backstory prior to being found in the streets of Northern Massachusetts is unknown. Since coming into rescue a number of medical issues have been addressed. Mr. W's temperament can be described as cranky.

Rufus

Do you like big mutts? If so, I am your man! Weighing in at 85 lbs. I am the biggest lap dog you could ever hope to meet. Yep, you read that right. I just love to sit in my foster dad's lap. It was love at first sight for me. A good judge of character, I know what I want when it comes to family. A quiet home with experienced "big dog" people and no young uns would be perfect. Because I was not treated kindly in the past, I need time to feel safe and to establish trust before a lot of demands are placed upon me.
