Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. POPPY-Jean, her sister and friends, arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine on Friday 26 June 2026 from our partner shelter in Texas. We post our available pets across the east coast and Canada and welcome applications from anywhere on the understanding that approved families must be prepared to travel  to the rescue in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine to meet and take home their new best friend. We Will Be Actively Looking to Adopt Kittens in Pairs Health & Background Estimated Date of Birth: 6 April 2026 ✅ SPAYED ✅ NWS Transport Protocol: Credelio CAT and Capstar administered orally prior to transport from a New World Screwworm (NWS) affected area. ✅ FIV Test (SNAP): Negative ✅ FeLV Test (SNAP): Negative ✅ Eclipse 4 (FVRCP+C) Vaccination: Protects against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (Herpesvirus-1), Feline Calicivirus, Feline Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper), and Chlamydia felis. Rabies Vaccine: Too young to receive. ✅ Microchipped with 24PetWatch and registered with the Free Pet Chip Registry. ⚖️ Weight: Approximately 3-4 pounds. Why We Will Be Actively Looking to Adopt Kittens in Pairs We will be actively looking to place kittens in pairs whenever possible, as animal behavior experts and feline welfare organizations consistently recognize that kittens develop better socially, emotionally, and behaviorally when they grow up with a feline companion of a similar age. Benefits of adopting two kittens together: Built-in playmate: Kittens have endless energy. A companion provides a healthy outlet for wrestling, chasing, and play, helping to redirect natural hunting instincts and play aggression away from people, furniture, and household items. Teaches bite inhibition and boundaries: Through play and wrestling, kittens learn how to control the force of their bites and scratches. When one kitten plays too rough, the other responds immediately, teaching important social limits that humans cannot easily replicate. Faster learning and social development: Kittens learn by watching each other. They often develop appropriate grooming habits, litter box skills, confidence, and social behaviors more quickly when raised with a companion. Reduces loneliness and stress: Kittens thrive on interaction and stimulation. Having a bonded companion provides comfort, companionship, and security, especially when family members are at work, school, or away from home. Helps prevent boredom and destructive behavior: Two kittens are far more likely to keep each other entertained, reducing the chances of unwanted behaviors that can result from boredom, frustration, or excess energy. Provides lifelong companionship: Many kittens form strong bonds with their feline companions, giving them a source of friendship, comfort, and enrichment throughout their lives. While every kitten and family situation is unique, adopting a pair often creates a happier, healthier, and better-adjusted outcome for both the kittens and their adopters.  Our adoption fee's are $250 per kitten or $400 for two.

Story
Jet, born summer 2023, is a shy boy. He is nervous of being petted or picked up but strolls and lazes around the humans he knows well. He`d be best suited to calm home and humans willing and able to give him all the time he needs to hide, until he feels settled and safe, and don`t mind that he may never be a lap cat. He was on his own living outdoors since birth before coming into foster care. He gets along with other cats and is very well behaved. He`s vet checked, neutered, microchipped, core vaccinated, treated for parasites and ready for his chance at a caring forever home. For adoption details, email (labaie@spcans.ca), leave voice message (902-770-0099) or Facebook message (Nova Scotia SPCA - La Baie foster). La Baie branch (short for La Baie Sainte Marie, Saint Mary`s Bay) is in the municipality of Clare, between Digby and Yarmouth, southwest NS.
