'Lawrence' is a tender hearted tabby who found his way to us as a stray. He's a quiet guy who yearns to be a cherished buddy and will make the most wonderful snuggle companion.
The shelter environment is a bit overwhelming for Lawrence, making him appear frightened and timid. We have discovered with a patient, gentle approach, he readily unveils his true personality. An absolute sweetheart, Lawrence has the softest purr, enjoys gentle pets and chin rubs and shows his contentment with silly rolls and twists!
Lawrence is approximately 5 years old and will be happiest in a calm, understanding home. Children ages 16 and up, who appreciate his quiet nature and give him the space to confidently blossom would be best. While his history with dogs remains unknown, he may potentially find companionship with a quiet, friendly pup who respects his boundaries.
Lawrence is FIV+, requiring him to be the only feline in the household unless other resident cats are also FIV+.

1. Visit our shelter and choose the animal that you would like to adopt.
Please be aware that the adoption process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the information we need to cover with you and the number of pets going home at the same time. We know this is a time commitment, but your new pet will appreciate it!
2. Fill out an adoption profile. At PMHS, we use a profile and interview process to ensure that each animal adopted will be matched with the most compatible new owner(s). Once your profile has been reviewed, our adoption counselors will discuss with you any medical or behavioral information relevant to the animal you chose and process your adoption application. Every dog or cat that is adopted from PMHS is up to date with required vaccinations and microchipped.

More about this shelter
After 35 years, our organization is now officially known as Pope Memorial Humane Society. Though we have a new name, logo, and facility, it is important to keep in mind that we are the same organization at our core. Our staff, volunteers, and operations remain the same, as does our unfailing commitment to saving the lives of animals in need. We will continue to serve Strafford County and the surrounding areas of New Hampshire and southern Maine with the same dedication. Though we are proud of the growth and impact we have made in the last 35 years as Cocheco Valley Humane Society, we look forward to this new chapter in our organization’s story.
