Available for adoption thru Another Chance: |
| Cats, kittens, and in-betweens . . .
ACAR has kittens who will be old enough for adoption by late May-early June. In the meantime, we also have a nice selection of adult kitties who would like to be considered for new loving homes like yours. See some of our current cats and kittens below. Please take a minute to stop by the adoption center on Saturday to meet and greet some of the many pets up for adoption
. One or more of our little clients may just steal your heart.
If you're interested in adopting a cat or kitten, you can save time by printing and filling out an application form, then sendiing it in or dropping it by our adoption center so your references can be checked in advance.
Many vets aren't open on Saturdays and we need landlord approval for renters.
All our adoptees are up to date on shots (age appropriate), are wormed and given a general health checkup before leaving with their new families. Kittens are spayed or neutered before adoption (and we have information about low cost options if you have unfixed cats at home).
FMI about kittens and/or other available companion pets, please stop by our adoption center @ 37 Market Street North Berwick on Saturday 10:00 a.m. ~ 2:00 p.m. Or please call Julie @207-676-2165 or email boomeredgewater@comcast.net.
We're also on Petfinder now. Thank You! You can order pet supplies online to keep your new pet healthy & happy. |

Meet Golden Boy. . .
Golden Boy came to us with 2 other cats from a caretaker who became too ill to care for them. A large cat, Golden Boy is very timid but loving, about two and a half years old, and would do best as an only cat (or with another non-aggressive cat) in a quiet low-key home. Although he is mostly orange tiger and white, Golden Boy has a black spot where his right ear joins his head making him a very rare male tri-color. He will be at our adoption center on Saturdays or you can contact his foster mom Lynn at 207-676-5767. Posted 5/1/12 |

Meet Rainbow. . .
Rainbow came to us with Golden Boy and Mariah when her caretaker became ill. She is longhaired, declawed, about two and a half years old, small and dainty, and accustomed to a quiet low-key home. She tolerates other cats but doesn't buddy up with them, and loves attention from people. Rainbow will be at our adoption center on Saturdays or you can contact her foster mom Lynn at 207-676-5767.

Meet Tara . . .
Tara is a beautiful semi-feral purebred Siamese who is about 2 years old. She is fearful of people and needs an experienced cat person who is used to scared cats. With a little patience and love, Tara could be a wonderful pet. If you are interested, please contact Gina at ggutman@metrocast.net |

Meet Ziggy . . .
Ziggy is a shorthaired black young adult cat (4-5 years old) who was brought to us when a couple divorced and neither party was able to keep him. Ziggy is friendly and gets along with other cats although he sometimes picks on less aggressive cats. He has lots of personality, and likes to play and explore, is neutered, has double front paws, and would make a great addition to your family. Let us know if you would like to meet Ziggy on one of our adoption days. |

Needs a Happy Ending . . .
Big Mike is a sweet shorthaired gray tiger and white neutered young adult who was abandoned in a carrier in a snowy grocery store parking lot. Even after the love and care in his foster home, the trauma has left him very timid and although he likes to be petted, a sudden movement or loud noise will send him looking for a hiding place, as will attention from other cats. He may also bite when frightened so would not be good with young children.
Mike has been in his foster home for over 2 years now, and has developed some special needs. He needs to be on a special diet to keep his kidneys healthy and have a little Pepcid AC every day, and he also has pododermatitis which occasionally causes his paw pads to swell up. This is easily treatable with antibiotics and could also be helped by the right diet.
The upside is that his new diet has helped him lose some weight, but Mike would live a longer healthier life if he were adopted into a loving home. He is a very sweet boy and usually quite gentle but needs to be away from the stress of other cats coming and going. If you would like to consider adopting Mike, please call his foster mom, Lynn, at 207-676-5767 or e-mail lmanley@maine.rr.com to arrange to meet him. |
