"Do you want a cat that can move into almost any home and settle in right away? Have big dogs? Not a problem! Other cats running around wild? No trouble at all. Crazy kids all over the place? No worries. Ever take a grumpy cat to the vet's? Not a peep from this girl - I just sit there and purr while I get my shots. I'm just a laid back, take it all in girl who wants to be able to sit back and watch the commotion that goes on around me. I can even fall asleep during football parties. But, don't get the idea that I can only live with lots of action - I would be just as happy, curling up on a lap and just being great company for an older couple who enjoys their peace and quiet. I just love life, and take in everything that life throws at me with a purr, and a nap. So, how about adding a sweet, lovable lady to your family? I'm spayed, leuk & fiv negative, vaccinated, chipped and only about 8 years old." More of this story
"Hey everybody, my name is Scoobi. I was a great mom, but now that my five babies are raised and old enough to be without me, I'm ready to find my own forever home. I am a beautiful, friendly, well socialized young cat who would fit in well with any family. I was really great with the young kids in my foster home, and I even got along with their dog! Why don't you come meet me soon? I just know you'll love me." To adopt a cat from Angelcat Haven, you must submit an application. Adoption applications can be found at www.angelcathaven.com.

Oh just look at that green grass in the background! Surely Harley, the handsome husky mix in the foreground will miss romping in the fields of fresh grass as the winter grows cold. But wait, oh, right, husky. He may miss the warm weather, but this active guy will have no problem settling in to the New England winter! He loves to run and play - with tennis balls, people, other dogs, whoever will play with him. Weather conditions are the last thing on his mind! Harley is an awesome young guy looking for a family who just likes to have fun in life. Harley does request that there be no cats and there be a fenced-in yard. Other than that, Harley will be just peachy being part of the family and staying active. He is up to date on routine shots, neutered, and house trained. For more information on Harley or other adoptable animals, visit the Friends of the Attleboro Animal Shelter's website at FAASpets.org. More of this story

Toby and Tucker were close feline friends. The sign over their cage at the shelter read "DO NOT SEPARATE, MUST GO TOGETHER!" Their affection for one another ran so deep, one couldn't survive without the other. And so it is with senior citizens and their pets.
