Meet Clark! This sweet 9 month old guinea pig and his brother Alfalfa are looking for their forever home! These two boys are still settling into the shelter life, and have been a bit shy. They are slowly coming out of their shells and showing us their loving personalities. They love to eat greens, hay, and veggies together, and hope their new home has lots of fresh produce they can eat!

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.

We’ve got mice, mice, baby! Our Boston adoption center is fully of furry friends waiting to be taken into a home! These mice are cute and curious, and are sure to provide you plenty of entertainment as they decorate their enclosure and engage in enrichment. These mice love chewing on apple sticks, foraging for food, running on their wheels, and building tunnels in their bedding! They are young and pretty curious about humans, and could benefit from a patient adopter that could participate in hand training if they’re interested!

Skittles 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 he is like in a home. Skittles has been friendly here and is currently living with one of his brothers, who he can go home with or can leave as solo rabbit. He was playful in his foster home, but would likely do best with a rabbit experienced adopter that can plan to give him plenty of time to slowly adjust to the home, and all the people in it.

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

Little Bit:

Little Bit is a cute, curious, handsome boy! He lived with another cat and they got along well.

Two placement plans are recommended for Little Bit:

1. A barn placement, with a slow introduction to his space.
2. Indoor/outdoor, but will need a safe outdoor environment with a slow introduction.

We are looking for an adopter who is committed to spending the first several weeks allowing him to decompress. During that time his adopter should focus on observing his behavior and body language to better get to know him and identify his likes and dislikes, and make adjustments to his space and your interactions with him based on his preferences. His adopters should be comfortable identifying and addressing potential challenges as they arise. No unnecessary pressure should be put on him as he settles in. He should be allowed to make his own choices about when to interact and when to keep to himself.

Little Bit may be conflicted about close handling/petting, especially as he is settling in. Think of him as a pet himself on you kind of cat until he is more comfortable meaning he should
always be allowed to initiate an interaction with you vs. you going up to pet him. Use a `petting
consent test`: after he has initiated petting, remove your hands briefly to give him an opportunity to opt back into pets, or to say he is all done. We recommend working with a Fear Free-certified veterinarian to help come up with a handling plan that will reduce stress for everyone and keep everyone safe.

Expectations should be kept low at first, and 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 his 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. After time he will do best with the people within his bubble, but will not be the type of cat to go up and greet visitors.

To help Little Bit succeed, he will need a very slow introduction to his new home. He should start off in one quiet room (an extra bedroom or bathroom) 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 more often than not be hiding. He will probably exist more as a spirit cat, but he did come out when it was quiet and then to be near his people, allowing pets while eating, etc. But when there was any loud noise or movement he would go right back into hiding.

It must be stressed that his adopters need to let him adapt at his own pace and understand that he is who he is, and needs a patient, understanding adopter who will not push or expect him to be anything other than who he is.

COMPATIBILITY:
Cats: Yes! He has previously lived with cats
Dogs: Possibly, no history
Kids: He will do best with kids who can respect his space and practice a good management plan including petting consent.

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

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.

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!

* Can’t adopt right now, but want to help animals? If you are in a position to give, please consider making a gift of any size to help us provide essential services to animals in need, at www.mspca.org/nevinsgift.

If you are looking for a couch potato with hooves, and someone who excels at napping, Joy might be the pig for you! She specializes in long, uninterrupted naps and her greatest passion is a soft cozy bed. Joy has the potential to be a solo pig, but she enjoys snuggling up with her other pig friends on colder days. She is the bottom of the totem pole, so any introductions to existing pig friends in the home will need to be done slowly and carefully. Staff would be happy to counsel any prospective adopters on how to best accomplish this!

Joy does have a few medical considerations to take into account and staff will be happy to chat more about that with any potential adopters. Pig vets are hard to come by, and adopters should expect to have a close relationship with their vet.

All pigs need room to roam, graze, root, and wallow. A proper pig proof enclosure and fencing is a must with access to an indoor space for shelter as needed. Pigs are generally pretty temperature sensitive creatures and tend to especially dislike the cold. Extra bedding and insulation should be provided during the colder months and access to shaded areas and a wallow are musts for the warmer months as it is the only way for pigs to cool themselves down!

Interested in meeting Joy? Please fill out an adoption inquiry and a staff member will be in touch!

Sweet:

I am a handsome guy, shy at first, and friendly with my people.

It is recommended that my adopters give me a very slow introduction to my new home. To succeed, I should start off in a small space (an unused extra bedroom or bathroom) and only given more space when I am confidently moving around my environment and interacting with
my adopter. I should be left alone initially as I adjust. My space should include plenty of hiding places, ideally with access to a vertical surface such as a cat tree or a cat-proofed shelf, and
easy access to a litter box, food, bed, and water. Once I am confidently moving about my small environment and comfortable interacting with my adopter, I can be introduced to the rest of my new home.

I have the potential to be a sweet, gentle companion with a very cat-savvy adopter who is willing to put in the extra effort to help me come out of my shell. I would be ideal for a gentle, quiet adopter looking to help out a cat but one that has low expectations for who that cat is and what it might become. A `let them be who they are` type of person.

Spirit cats like me do best having a companion at home! I came to the shelter with another cat named Bud. While we do not need to go home together, with my shy personality I would
most likely do best in a home with another cat.

Compatibility:
CATS: YES PLEASE! Highly recommended to go to a home with a social cat that can be their role model and show them the ropes.
DOGS: Possibly – no history
KIDS Older, quiet, cat-savvy

MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED DURING THE BIG DOG ENERGY ADOPTION EVENT FROM APRIL 22 – APFRIL 27 !!!

Come meet the delightful Panda! This young pup is searching for her next home – she would love to find an adopter who can understand her unique ways of communicating and respond with love and patience. She could do well in the company of other dogs who can be her role models and cater to her puppy needs. Panda could also get along with a dog-savvy cat who knows how to interact with a playful puppy. Additionally, she could be a companion for children who can engage in her training and help her grow. Don`t miss the chance to bring this sweet girl into your life!

If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Nevin`s Farm Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12 pm-4:30 pm. No appointment is needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs.

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 are 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.

Verona,

I am very sweet, with the potential to be an easy-going, gentle cat once I warm up to my people. I will need a VERY patient, cat-savvy adopter who can read cat-body language and give me time to blossom into my true personality.

I came from an overcrowded home with lots of other cats. It will be best to start me in a spare bedroom or bathroom at first, with options to climb vertically such as a cat tree, and easy access to food, water, bed and a large litter box. Ideally with enough time to myself, I will begin to relax and move around more freely while my adopter in visiting my room. Once I am consistently moving around comfortably with relaxed body language, I am ready to start exploring other parts of my new home. Expectations should be set that it is unknown how long it will take for me to adapt (possibly weeks or months) and I might never become super social, but more of a roommate. I would be ideal for a gentle, quiet adopter looking to help out a cat, but one that has low expectations for who I am and what I might become.

It is recommended that I have a cat friend in my new home, or be adopted with another cat so we can become more confident together, as I was used to having a friend in my previous environment.

Compatibility:
Dogs: Possibly – no history – mellow and cat-savvy
Cats: YES! Ideally I should be adopted into a home with a confident feline friend that I can bond with and who can help show me the ropes. I am most likely going to be a `cat`s cat versus a `people`s cat`.
Kids: Possibly – no history – older and cat-savvy

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

This rat is part of a group of undersocialized rats from an overcrowding situation. He can be friendly but is currently very shy around people and will will need a patient adopter who can work with him to be more comfortable around people. He may do best with another well matched more social male rat.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 give us a call!

* If you think you are a good fit, stop by Tues-Sun from 1-4 during our open hours! For more information on our adoption process, please visit www.mspca.org/capeadoptionprocess .
