Pet of the Week: Casey

"I'm a great middle-aged girl who is in between homes right now. I'm looking for an easy life, indoors, with some peace and quiet. An older couple would be great company for me. I love to just sit in the window, let the sun warm me up, and watch the great outdoors from my safe spot. I'm laid back, neat and clean and I'm a great listener. I've got beautiful makarel tabby markings, too. I'm spayed, leuk & fiv negative, vaccinated, chipped and only 10 years old."

Pet of the Week: Chrissy

"I'm a lovable little 4- to 5-month-old kitten named Chrissy. My fur is a lovely shade of charcoal grey and snow white. My foster mom thinks I am part ragdoll because I love to be cuddled, will relax in your arms and fall asleep right on your lap! She also says I'm gentle and love to play, and feels that who ever adopts me will be very happy! Will you be the lucky person to adopt me?" To adopt a kitten from Angelcat Haven, you must submit an application. Adoption applications can be found at www.angelcathaven.com. Completed applications can be e-mailed to cats@angelcathaven.com or faxed to 508-643-1999.

This handsome fella was rescued on New Year's Eve crying to get in out of the cold.

He combo-tested negative, was neutered and updated on all his shots. He is very friendly, loves to sleep in the sun and would love sleeping on your bed if you would let him.
