Story
Gabby is a great cat that is gotten along with a dog and cat that was added to family after she was adopted. She is loving but not a lap kitty. Loves to sleep on the end of the bed. She is healthy and will seek you out for a head scratch and does not seem to mind being picked up for some kitty love. She is not picky about her food and has been on Purina One dry food since she was 6 months old. She was adopted from ASPCA and only took a few days to get use to her new home. She has front claws removed by laser when she was a kitten so she is primarily indoor kitty but does enjoy the screened in porch and deck in good weather. She is used to a closed in kitty litter box. She has a very laid back temperament and a pleasure to be around. As I go into retirement years I will miss her and hope and pray for a good home for her.

Story
URGENT Meet Pewter – a sweet 6-year-old cat with a heart full of love! I adopted her from a shelter when she was just a tiny 6-7 week-old kitten, and she’s grown into a very affectionate and loyal companion. She adores people time, whether it’s curling up for cuddles or following you around the house to keep you company. She gets along wonderfully with other cats and, with a little patience, can warm up to dogs too (she’s lived with one before and did well once she got used to them). I’m looking for a new home where she’ll get the love, care, and attention she deserves — a family that will prioritize her health and happiness. To help her settle in, I’ll provide everything she needs to start her new chapter: -17 lb bucket of litter & litter box -20 lb bag of cat food + 7 cans of wet food -Toys, collar, and leash -A cat carrier (if needed) She’s truly a wonderful companion and will make the right person or family very happy. Could you be her forever home?

We adopted Inari when he was a few months old from the Portsmouth Humane Society (his name was Sudoku). Inari is about 4 years old now. He is great with other animals, however he is shy and a bit of a loner.

Story
Ruby is a sweet, lovable little kitty. We found her in May of 2025 and she was just a few weeks old. We brought her in to our home and got her acclimated with our other cat. She had mammary hyperplasia after her first heat cycle, however she was spayed in November and the hyperplasia has slowly subsided since then. The vet said it can take a few months to fully resolve. Recently, she has not been getting along with our other cat. This came out of the blue, but since we have small children we do not want to take the risk of them getting hurt in the case the kitties have another tussle. She’s sweet and vocal, loves to sleep in your legs every night. We love her so much and this is an incredibly difficult decision for us. We hope whatever home she goes to can give her all the love and treats she deserves.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Living in a bustling condo with three other siblings, Nicholas has become something of an introvert, content to observe from the quiet corners rather than compete for the spotlight. Don't mistake his shyness for indifference—he's deeply loving in his own gentle way, offering affection on his own terms when the world feels calm and safe around him. He has come to understand the value of solitude and peaceful moments, and what he truly deserves is someone patient enough to let him set the pace and really get to know his new environment on his own terms. He dreams of a home where he won't have to navigate the chaos of sibling dynamics, where an understanding person will appreciate that his quiet presence and soft, occasional head bumps are just as meaningful as constant attention-seeking, and where he can finally relax into being who he truly wants to be.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All PAWS cats and dogs are current on the vaccinations appropriate for their age. Those who are confirmed over 4 months old or older will have their rabies vaccinations. Age permitting, dogs/puppies are tested for heartworm disease. Cats/kittens are tested (and are negative) for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). All are treated with flea/tick prevention and given internal parasite preventative on a regular basis. All are microchipped (for their safety and the adopter's peace of mind) as part of the adoption fee.  Learn more about our Adoption Information here and fill out an application here.   November 25, 2025, 6:47 pm
