Adopt A Cat Or Dog From The Animal Center

The following cats and dogs are among those available for adoption through the Animal Center:

SPEEDY, SKIPPY & PEACHES are friendly, affectionate 8-week-old kittens. They  love to play and get along great with children. They are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines.  

PERSEUS has been through some pretty tough times, but he’s still purring. Several weeks ago, friends of The Animal Center spotted an orange cat who resembled a missing cat from the neighborhood. The cat was in distress and wary, but they were able to get him into a carrier and to the vet, where they discovered just how badly injured he was. His ear had been torn off from an animal attack and because he was living outside in the unbearably cold weather, and frostbite had set in. When residents realized that Perseus was not the missing cat from the neighborhood, they asked if Animal Center officials would take him in. Perseus got the veterinary care he needed and is feeling so much better now. He adores being petted and is glad to be warm and safe. Perseus may have been through really tough times, but if you close your eyes, you would not know it because he purrs and plays, and seems like a happy cat who doesn’t have a care in the world. Perseus is approximately 3 years old, neutered, current on vaccines, and healthy.

CINDERELLA is a purry, sweet gray tabby who enjoys being petted. Cinderella had been living out-side with a large group of community cats. She always rubbed up against Animal Center volunteers for petting and affection, so they brought her into the foster program, where she is adjusting easily to being warm and safe. She is healthy, spayed, and current on vaccines. 

AGGIE is a very playful kitty who has adapted beautifully from a once shy, free-roaming cat to one who loves human attention. Aggie started her life as a community cat, and Animal Center officials first met her when her caretaker was evicted from her home in Sandy Hook. Aggie was cared for outside with her feline friends until the winter, when she was brought into The Animal Center’s program to live with a foster family. Nicknamed Peanut for her diminutive size, Aggie is not small on personality. She loves to bat toys around and playfully chase her foster friend, Cecily around. Cecily is also from this community cat colony. Aggie shows no signs of missing outdoor life and, each day, grows more comfortable with people and the noises of busy human life. Aggie has many special qualities, including wagging her tail like a puppy to show she’s happy. Aggie is approximately two years old, spayed, healthy, and current on vaccines.

CECILY is a sweet kitty who, after living outside as part of a group of community cats, is loving the touch of humans. Cecily was part of group of neighborhood cats cared for by a Sandy Hook woman until she got evicted. Animal Center officials recently brought Cecily into the foster program, along with her feline pal, Aggie, and they’re loving life. Once so shy she would run away from people, Cecily makes great progress each day adjusting to human noises, being inside, and enjoying lots of petting. Cecily loves to run and chase Aggie, and although she keeps a watchful eye on the wildlife through the window, she is very happy being inside during these cold days and nights. Cecily is about three years old, spayed, healthy, and current on vaccines.

MARILYN, MAISY & MEENA: Marilyn is a friendly, 2 year old golden retriever/heeler mix. Her two puppies, Maisy and Meena, are also in the foster program. They are all microchipped, spayed and current on vaccines.

LANA is a 5 month old, friendly Lab/shepherd mix who is spayed and current on vaccines.

AKIRA is a super-gentle and sweet Labrador retriever/shepherd mix who gets along great with people and other dogs. She is approximately a year and a half old and would love to find a forever home. Animal Center officials rescued Akira the day she was scheduled to be euthanized when the shelter she was staying at ran out of space. Akira is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccines.

OSCAR MAYER is a friendly Corgi mix whose anticipated adoption fell through. He’s sweet with children, and people of all ages for that matter, and gets all well with most other dogs.

Good news: New Kitty, Pumpkin, Oliver, Lois, and Puma have been adopted.
