Bobby came to us as part of a large surrender of rats, he is fairly social and has a good history living with other male rats. He should go home with his cage mate(s) or to a home with an existing male rat that is looking for a companion.

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 visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Rocky is a young, high-energy guy looking for someone who matches his enthusiasm! He’s crazy about toys and is always up for a game of fetch, but once his energy is out, he can be a big cuddler. Rocky was an escape artist in his previous home, so he’ll need a secure home and someone ready to keep up with his fast pace life style. He’s eager to learn and would thrive in a home that can continue his training and give him the structure he needs to thrive. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate adventure buddy, Rocky might just be your guy!

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!

Swedish Fish is part of a group that came to us from an overcrowding situation, and as such we don’t have a ton of information of what she is like in a home. Swedish fish can be shy but friendly, she lived with many rabbits before and can have a well matched rabbit friend, or can live solo.

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!

This kitten is ready to find a new home of their own! We are still getting to know them, but like most kittens, they will need a family to teach them all the kitten basics like socializing with people and playing with appropriate toys. They could likely go to a home with another cat who wants an annoying younger sibling to be a role model to.

This kitten has been diagnosed with a Chronic Upper Respiratory Infection. A Chronic Upper Respiratory Infection may flare up in times of stress, so it is best that an adopter have a good relationship with a veterinarian to help manage and treat this long term illness.

If you think this cat could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm – no appointment or application needed.

You are welcome to enter our cat rooms during open hours. Staff and volunteers will be happy to assist you!

Boomer is an older guinea pig who can be shy and nervous around new people at first, but once he has had time to adjust can be very friendly. He likes to chew on cardboard and toys, and lived with many guinea pigs in his previous home. He is currently living with his brothers and would ideally go home with one (or more) of his brother but can also go home to an existing male companion as well. Adopters should plan to slowly introduce her to the home and the people in it.

Guinea pigs can make wonderful pets! They are very social creatures which means that they generally need at least one companion! Of course guinea pigs should only be kept with other piggies of the same sex. A pair of guinea pigs needs at minimum 10.5 sq. feet of cage space, or roughly 30″ x 50″ with a solid bottom, but more room is always encouraged! Guinea pigs can be quite noisy which can be lovely as long as you are expecting it!

If you’ve always wanted backyard goats, look no further! We have several does who are looking for new homes.

Goats are herd animals and need the company of other goats to be healthy and happy. We are looking for adopters who can take at least a pair of goats or have an existing herd at home that they’d like to expand.

They will require a fenced in area with appropriate shelter for inclement weather. Since goats are considered livestock, you will need to check with your town to make sure they are allowed in your area. We’re here to support you and answer whatever questions you may have, so please reach out if you think you could offer a loving home to some of these wonderful goats!

Dusty and co. are a group of semi-social young doves. They enjoy each others company and ideally will go home as a group, but can leave individually. They should go home with each other or to a home with existing dove(s) looking for a companion. The group is not a fan of handling, but does tolerate handling for a short period.

Doves can be tamed but tend to be more “hands off” birds. They tend to vocalize throughout the day with a “coo”, dissimilar to the screeching or whistling of many other birds. Doves can be found around the world, and can live up to 10 years with proper nutrition and care. We recommend that doves live in pairs or groups whenever possible.

We recommend a cage that is at least 32”x23” (Width x depth) with a maximum of ?-¾” bar spacing. Cages should include lots of flat surfaces to perch on, trays for food/water and lots of toys for enrichment. Unlike many other species of birds, doves are unable to climb up cage bars, and tend to move back and forth making a wider cage more appealing to them. Doves should be provided with regular opportunities for bathing, and unlike parrots require grit as part of their regular diet to aid in digestion.

The needs of each dove are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the dove you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

Meow Meow:

POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES:
Meow Meow is a very handsome boy who LOVES to play with toys! He has good litter box manners, and has good history of being an indoor/outdoor cat.

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Two placement plans are recommended for Meow Meow: Either as an indoor/outdoor cat, with a safe outdoor environment, or as a barn placement, both with a slow introduction to his space.

We are looking for an adopter who is committed to spending the first several weeks allowing him to decompress. Meow Meow gets overstimulated easily. We see this more when ending lap time or petting interactions. Meow Meow will need a cat savvy owner who is easily able to read cat body language and will need to learn Meow Meows boundaries.

Expectations should be kept low at first, and his adopter needs to understand that he is going to need time (weeks to a month or more) to show more of his true personality. Based on history in last home, we expect him to always be a bit skittish with new people, so a low-traffic, quiet home will be best for him. He will do best with the people within his bubble (after time) but wont be the type of cat to go up and greet visitors.

Meow Meow will need a very slow introduction to his new home. He should start in one quiet, room with managed hiding places and gradually be given more access to the house as he settles in. Keep expectations for him very low as he has lived in his previous home for most of his life and would still more often than not be hiding. Will probably exist more as a spirit cat.

COMPATIBILITY:
Dogs: Potentially, no known history
Cats: Potentially, no known history
Kids: Potentially, cat-savvy older children only

OPEN HOURS:
If you think Meow Meow could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Nevins Farm Adoption Center in Methuen. We have open adoption hours Tuesday – Sunday from 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm with no appointment or application needed.

You are welcome to enter our cat room during open hours. Staff and volunteers will be happy to assist you.

The MSPCA at Nevins Farm receives no state or federal support. We depend on kind and compassionate people like you to support our animals and programs. Please consider making a donation to help with our efforts here: http://www.mspca.org/nevinsgift
