Story
Boris is a sweet boy with a gentle heart and a quiet charm. He can be a little shy at first and prefers to take his time getting comfortable, but he already enjoys gentle head scratches and is showing his brave side when treats are involved — especially Churu and crunchy snacks! Boris would do best in a calm, patient home where he can settle in at his own pace and continue to build confidence. With a little time and love, this handsome boy is sure to blossom into a wonderful companion. If you'd like to meet Boris, please drop by the Woburn PetSmart, 114A Commerce Way, during our adoption hours: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 6pm-8pm and Sunday 12pm-2pm. ***For same-day adoption, please fill out the pre-screen by copying/pasting the following link into your browser: https://bit.ly/3yRGpMD Be sure to check our Instagram @brokentailrescue for updates!

Story
Meet Chicopee! Chicopee is an orange and white 4 year old spayed female cat. Chicopee is a very nervous and shy little lady looking for a calm and patient adopter who can give her a wonderful home where she can feel comfortable enough to be herself. Chicopee would do best in a home with a confident cat that can make her feel comfortable in her new environment and hopefully help her come out of her shell. She could potentially live with a very calm and quiet small dog with proper introductions and should live in an only adult home. Initially she is very reserved, she starts off with a hiss because she is nervous gal but once you spend time with her, she`ll allow you to give her gentle pets. She`s still learning that people aren`t so scary. In a home environment, she will most likely be good with whoever is in the home but, when guests come over she will probably hide. When being introduced to your home, it`ll be beneficial for her to be in a small space at first and as she gets used to being there, gradually expand her environment to other parts of your home. She`s hoping for someone to take things slow and help her build her confidence. If you are interested in meeting this sweet girl, please contact our shelter to schedule a meet and greet. Our shelter is open Tuesday-Sunday from 12-4 (closed Mondays). If you are interested in this pet, please review our adoption process at www.lowellhumanesociety.org/adoption/#process and email adopt@lowellhumanesociety.org to set up a time to meet this gal.

Story
Meet Saltarin! He came up from Puerto Rico & here is what his foster had to say about him:`A little piece of our rescued cat`s story. Saltarin came into our lives when he was three years old, and from the very beginning he filled our home with joy. He is incredibly loving, the kind of cat who melts into the bed when he lies down and even drinks his water while stretched out, completely relaxed. He has such a gentle soul and gets along beautifully with every cat he meets. He`s always roaming freely through the house, always calm, always kind, loves to eat, and always reminding us how lucky we are.` If he sounds like the one for you, apply today!

Story
We do not have any history on this kitten’s previous life or experiences other than they were born in a home. They came to us through our Mom's Fixed Free program. Since they are so young, they would likely do well in any type of home. But they are extremely shy and not fond of being picked up. They should be introduced slowly to any resident animals in your house. Ready to Adopt a Kitten? 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 kittens in the shelter. (Kittens in foster care are not available for in-person visits.) #2- ADOPT SIGHT UNSEEN If you’re ready to adopt without meeting the kitten first, we can help over the phone or by email. (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. Kittens are adopted on a first come, first served basis, and we’re not able to place holds on them. All kitten adoption fees include; -spay/neuter -rabies vaccination (if over 12 weeks of age) -current on distemper vaccines (will need additional boosters with your veterinarian) -FeLV blood test -microchip implanted & registered to the adopter -treatment of fleas/ticks/ear mites -veterinary exam and health certificate at Dakin -free vet exam within 30 days after adoption with participating veterinarians Most pets have also received other medical care while with us. Your veterinarian may recommend additional health care for your new pet.
