Additional adoption info
While we sometimes do allow same day adoptions provided we can get necessary reference checks back in a timely manner, we do not promise to ever just send one of our rescue animals home. It is a privilege not a "right" to adopt one of our animals. If we are at all unsure of you or your home situation or intentions, we reserve the right to refuse to adopt to you or require more intensive checks, including a homecheck of your home prior to adopting to you. Our interests are for that of our animals first and foremost and ensuring the best successful odds of a FUR-ever home for both our animal and you as well!! We are very happy to advise you through the process and how yo integrate a new furbaby into your home too where other pets may also live. We offer followup support with advice and guidance to all of our adopter families too!

We are a no-kill, all volunteer, foster based rescue committed to animals - mainly cats at this time - and helping to find them, no matter their age, chronic health issues or special needs they may have their "Another Chance". We have been around since 2001, when a former rescue that was closing it's doors needed many of the founding fosters of our organization who previously volunteered for them to help find placements for the animals who would have otherwise fallen through the closures cracks.
We are solely a 501(c)3 non-profit rescue, funded entirely by private donors, private grants, adoption fees that barely cover the exorbitant cost of vetting, and also by proceeds we generate through a small non-profit Thrift Shop we run & operate also solely with volunteers in North Berwick ME, which is actually where our rescue was born from initially & cats & dogs were shown at every Satirday during Open Adoption hours when all the fosters would bring their furcharges in to be shown and potentially find their fur-ever humans! We were able to eventially able to expand our small community rescue to neighboring Sanford ME as well when one ofvyhe fisters at the time, now our Vice President Marilyn Harley, opened her home and barn that was converted into an adoption facility and rescue to Another Chance.
We are always in need of more volunteers for all aspects of our rescue operation! No matter your area of expertise, be it hands on cat expert or cleaner to retail savvy or able to fundraise, use computers, do file management or simply cuddle cats ir feed them and do some laundry too, we'd love to chat with you & get you involved in "Helping Us To Help Them"...
We serve the Southern ME & NH communities.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
