If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic pup to bring joy into your life, Kaylie is ready to be your new best friend!
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 Sweet. 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
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!

Hello! I’m Salem and I am one of three dumbo girls here at the shelter. I’m here with my sisters Blue and Midnight. I am a little more shy than the other two, so it might take me a little longer to warm up to you, but I am still very friendly!

Spirit cats are very shy with people, and live in your home but are rarely seen – hence their name. They are cats who coexist in your home, and sometimes may grant you the opportunity to touch them – or they may not. Despite being shy with people, spirit cats are usually great with other cats! They are used to living with many cats, and can make excellent companions for cats in your home. It’s not uncommon for a spirit cat to get used to one or two people over time, and those people will be allowed to touch them and they may even choose to hang out near you or sleep on your bed at night. They are a great choice for people with a quiet household, who want to make a difference for an individual cat. Patience and understanding are the best tools when welcoming a spirit cat into your home. It’s important to know that spirit cats won’t magically turn into a normal acting cat – what you see is what you get for a long time, maybe always.
They are a fine choice for situations where you don’t have a lot of time to devote to a pet as they don’t require a lot of attention from humans. They are not a good choice for a busy home, including those with small children.

Meet Cici, a pretty little lady that loves chicken and curling up on the couch with a good fuzzy blanket! Cici has been worried at the shelter, especially considering that she has been through quite a few transitions recently. New people and things can be really scary for her! She’s hoping to go home with adopters with a quiet home so that she can decompress and work on building her confidence. Given time and space, we think that Cici’s sweet personality will really begin to shine!
Cici may be able to go home with a well-matched dog companion and some management, which staff would be happy to help adopters troubleshoot. She doesn’t have a history of living with cats, but may be able to go home with one with complete separation to start and a slow introduction. Cici would like to live in an adult-only home with no children, please!

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.

Meet Floyd! He’s a sweet boy who likes to be around you, and enjoys it when you pet him. He’s looking for a calm, quiet adult-only home where he is your only pet. He’s also looking for a cat-savvy person who can read his body language and give him space when he needs it. He can be shy at first, but warms up once he’s settled in and gets to know you. Are you the hero this guy is hoping for?

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.
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
Spencer is a handsome boy who can`t wait to find a home of his own. We don`t know too much about his history, but as he has settled in we have seen him be super silly and snuggly with his favorite people! He seems to enjoy learning new things and romping around in the yard. Spencer has a limited history with other dogs, but he can be a bit reactive when he sees them outside. He can be overwhelmed by a lot going on in his environment, so we think Spencer would do best in a low traffic home in a quiet neighborhood. Spencer would do best as the only pet for now so he can be the center of attention!
If you think Spencer 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.

More About Us:
Hi there, we’re Charles and Dee! We are two very cute siblings that need to go home together! We came here because our previous owner had too many cats and was unable to care for us. At first we might be a little cautious, but once we get to know you we become very affectionate. We both have very loud purrs. Our favorite toys are string and ball toys. We are both very nervous kittens who need to go home with a young, social cat! Could it be yours?

Peanut 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. Peanut lived with many rabbits before and may do well with a well matched female friend or she can live alone. She would likely do best with a rabbit experienced adopter that can plan to give her 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

Hello! I’m Blue and I’m here with my two sisters: Midnight and Salem. We’re all very friendly dumbo girls but I am the friendliest and most inquisitive of all – I’ll happily come and hang out on your shoulder or in your pocket, but be sure to give me a small piece of banana every once in a while as a nice tasty treat!

This mouse came to us from an overpopulated home, and is generally undersocialized. This mouse may do best with an mouse companion (preferably a well socialized mouse already in the home), and will need patience as it re-adapts to a home and learns to interact with people.
Mice are nocturnal, very acrobatic and talented adventures. They can even jump up to a foot and a half! Mice can be very skittish, but with patience and care can make wonderful companions. Mice can get along in same-sex groups but each is unique so we recommend being prepared to separate them if required. We prefer that mice, especially females, are housed with or nearby other mice as inter-species socialization can be vital to an animal’s happiness and mimicking their natural needs.
We recommend a 10 gallon or larger tank filled with about ¼” of paper bedding or other nesting material. Nesting material should be loose, light, easy to manipulate, and of course safe. Enclosures should be well ventilated but kept out of direct drafts, and should provide plenty of enclosed opaque shelters for the mice to retreat into as desired. Enclosures should provide lots of enrichment for the mice to meet their natural needs in the areas of chewing/gnawing, physical movement, resting/hiding, and nesting material or food to forage. A properly sized wheel or disc is a necessity for the mice to meet their exercise needs.
The needs of each mouse are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the mouse you are interested in, please let us know in your inquiry! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.

If you’ve always wanted backyard goats, look no further! We have several wethers who are looking for new homes.
Goats are very social animals and these Mini LaManchas get along quite well, so we are aiming to send them home as a group but are open to sending them home in pairs depending on what you’re looking for! If you already have a herd, we recommend these goats go home with other horned goats.
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!
