Happy Tails Evangeline gets a forever home

Evangeline was rescued in Methuen last summer. She had been abandoned or lost and found a place under a shed to have 4 roly poly little babies. She was a very good mom and all her babies soon found good homes, and after months of adoption events Evangeline "Angie" has finally found her very own forever home with James and his mother. Angie is the queen of the house with a dog and a couple of guinea pigs to keep in line - but she is well loved and is an adorable lap cat.

babies we got babies!

New kittens are being rescued every day, these 1 day old babies were 6 survivors from a litter of 10 discovered in a shipping container. They are presently being bottle fed by one of our terrific foster homes. They should be ready in 8 weeks, but in the meantime we have many others kittens ready for adoption.

Quite a few of the nearly 30 kittens we have in foster homes seem to be calicos. Most of those kittens are newly trapped and need a few more weeks of medical care and socialization, but more kittens are coming fast and furiously.

Make sure you catch one of our adoption events at Petcos in Salem and Plaistow NH as well as North Andover, MA.

This weekend is Saturday 11-3 at Salem, NH Petco
and Sunday 11-3 at Plaistow, NH Petco.

Alena one of the two young mothers who had been boxed up and abandoned at the Haverhill Animal Control office went home with a new family last week.

A perfect lap kitty, Alena bonded immediately with her new owner who adopted her on the spot. Hopefully her nearly identical sister Sophia will find a home too.

This little beauty was caught in Lawrence just a few days ago. and her siblings are just as cute - hopefully they will be scooped up in the next few days.

Henry came to us seriously injured and has spent much time in cages. When he got to his new foster home her was very cranky and displeased. but since then he has grown to be very very clingy and devoted. He is just a big mush who wants to be cuddled if you have a free hand or even if you don't.
