We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Groot. He is a one year old cat that loves getting pet, playing with toys, and has a regressive case of FeLV, or Feline Leukemia Virus which may 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 is a social and affectionate cat with his favorite humans! Groot 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
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Groot-Felv+. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
You are welcome to enter our cat rooms during open hours. Staff and volunteers will be happy to assist you!
Meet Kali! Her favorite things are cuddling on the couch, long sniffy walks, getting pets, and carrying around her toys. Kali is a bit nervous at first in new situations, but warms up quickly and is looking for a patient family who can give an adopted dog some time to decompress in the new home. Kali enjoys a good walk like any dog, but definitely likes to settle into a good snuggle session at the end of the day. Kali has lived with other dogs in the past, so we think she may be able to live with a dog with a slow, careful introduction.
Kali has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once she feels secure, she’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Kali. We have open adoption hours 7 days a week from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
This gentle senior boy is a low-key, sweet companion who enjoys the simple things in life; sniffy walks, a cozy routine, and relaxing cuddle time with his favorite people. He’s the kind of dog who appreciates a calm home and a predictable rhythm, where he can feel safe and take things at his own pace.
Because heis hearing-impaired, he’ll need a family who’s comfortable using visual cues and thoughtful communication to help him navigate the world. He can also be sensitive to touch and new situations, so a patient adopter who understands consent-based interaction and body language will be the best fit for him.
With time, understanding, and gentle handling, this special senior has all the potential to be a deeply loving and loyal companion who truly bonds with his people.

Squash & Butternut are a bonded pair of male guinea pigs! The pair came to us as strays so we have very limited information on them, but while at the shelter they have been good for handling, and like all guinea pigs enjoy their treats!
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 think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, please click on the blue Inquire link above and fill out the form, or submit an inquiry at mspca.org/nevinsadopt. If you just want to browse in person feel free to stop by during our open hours.
* 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.

Meet Baloo! His favorite things are sniffy walks, cuddling and getting pets from familiar people, and treats.
