Story
This is Lester and suki, Lester is a Maine Coon who is fiv positive he is up to date on his vet care, and no health issues. Lester is bonded with suki they have been together all their lives. So we will not separate them they must go as a pair. They were surrendered due to their previous owner passing away which is very sad, they are in a great foster home and doing great. They are very friendly and love their pets, they have been with us awhile. It's so sad because all they want is a place to call home!! Don't let the Fiv scare you people cannot contact it or dogs it is only contacted thru blood from another cat or sexual contact. Lester and suki have lived together their whole lives, and suki does not have fiv.and they are a bonded pair.

Story
Smokey is a sweetheart of a cat who had a rough start in life. He was removed from a hoarding situation with 20 cats in a small apartment. He very rarely received any attention or affection and spent most of his time hiding in a kitchen cabinet. In spite of this, he is a super loving, affectionate, and gentle cat. It took him a few days to feel safe in a foster home, but once he came out of his shell, he can't get enough pets and affection. He gives head butts for more pets or jumps up to touch his head to your palm to signal that he would like More Petting Please! He isn't a pest about it, however, and will happily curl up on the couch beside you or on the floor or a cozy bed while you work, watch tv, read, etc. He is an all-around good-natured cat who gets along well with other cats and would probably be okay with a calm, cat-savvy dog, with a slow and careful introduction. Smokey would do best in a calm household with people who want to show him the affection he missed out in in his first couple of years of life. He is all black except for the toes of one foot, which look like he dipped them in a can of white paint.

Story
We came from a hoarding situation and are still learning how to be regular house cats. We’re shy, head-shy, and easily startled—but not feral. We need a calm, patient adopter who will start us in a small space (like a bathroom) and let us settle in at our own pace. We do best with slow introductions, interactive play (like wand toys), and time to build trust. Giving us too much space too soon can lead to setbacks with litter box habits or bonding. A confident, friendly cat in the home can be a huge help—we often bond quickly with other cats and learn by following their lead. With the right setup and a little patience, we’ll come around and show you just how sweet we really are Ready to adopt? Come visit during open adoption hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12:30 to 3:00pm. Kittens in foster care are not available for in-person visits. You can also adopt sight unseen — just call or email us at (413) 781-4000 x1 or springfield@dakinhumane.org. We return all voicemails and emails within 24 hours. Kittens are adopted on a first come, first served basis and we are not able to place holds on them.

Story
Meet Parker! 🎬 Scroll through pictures to see video! This gorgeous, quietly charming girl is ready to find her perfect soft landing. Parker is the kind of cat who will work her way into your heart, slowly at first, and once she does, she's all in. Her foster says she loves to settle on your lap, make biscuits, and purr while you watch TV. She'll greet you with a little meow or chirp, rubs up against you for full-body pets and knows exactly how to make an evening feel cozy. When she's feeling playful, she's a fan of wand toys, crinkly balls, and a good scratch board loaded with catnip. She's an equal-opportunity lover of both cuddles and independent entertainment. Parker would thrive as the star of a calm, quiet home — ideally as the only pet, where she can blossom at her own pace with patient people who love a lap cat. She may take a little time to warm up, but her foster says the payoff is absolutely worth it. Parker has a urinary condition that's well-managed with some simple care — which just means she'll do best in a lower-stress environment and with a little extra attention to her routine. Our adoption team would love to walk you through everything! Parker is currently in a loving foster home and cannot wait to hear from you. Call or email us today to learn more! (413) 781-4000 x1 or springfield@dakinhumane.org. We return all voicemails and emails within 24 hours

Story
Meet Humpty Dumpty! He quite literally fell his way into Dakin! This sweet boy has been seen roaming the Dakin parking lot, catching all of the eyes of the employees and volunteers! His favorite activity was always scaling the walls in the parking lot, showing off his impressive balance skills. Since he was found as a stray, we do not have any information on his past, or how he would do in a home environment. With a slow transition into his new home, he should show off his playful personality in no time. He has been very sweet to the Dakin staff so far, making him a hot commodity in the shelter! If Humpty Dumpty was your favorite nursery rhyme, come down and visit him today! Ready To Adopt? You have two options: #1- VISIT IN PERSON Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm. You’ll be able to meet available cats in the shelter. (Cats in foster care are not available for in-person visits.) #2- ADOPT REMOTELY OR PLACE A 24-HOUR HOLD** If you’re ready to adopt without meeting the cat first, or you’d like to place a non-refundable $25 hold to reserve a cat for 24 hours, just call or email us: (413) 781-4000 x 1 springfield@dakinhumane.org. We are often helping other clients when you call, but we return voicemails and emails within 24 hours. **Holds are not available on Saturdays and during adoption events.
