Today we received an incredibly generous donation. Tim Morey has chosen to cover the adoption fees of all of our adult and senior cats in memory of his long time girlfriend, Jane M. Murphy ❤

Jane and Tim adopted a bonded pair from us 17 years ago. This donation will make an enormous impact on the cats in our care, and will reduce a financial barrier for those looking to adopt in the coming weeks.

If you are looking to adopt a cat, now is a wonderful time 🙂

Thank you, Tim, for your kindness and for honoring Jane in such a meaningful way. We hope these adoptions will carry a little piece of her memory forward. ❤

We spotted Leo with his wand toy draped across his back - it's his most prized possession! 🤣

Leo is an adoptable 5 year old male cat who is currently residing in one of the shelter offices. We usually let our more timid animals hang out in there to adjust to the shelter environment.

Over time Leo has gotten increasingly comfortable with us, and has grown to be a bit of a “Velcro cat” to our development coordinator when she’s in the office. When he becomes attached, he’ll observe you, purr incessantly, and just want to be close.

He does, however, have a bit of a naughty side. He gets overstimulated easily and may bite or swat. We attribute this to his tenacious mouser skills (as you can see in the video with his fierce playfulness of the wand toy). He is certainly a hunter with a thirst for blood 😈 Mice beware!!! 🐭

If you’re looking for a chunky cat that will become obsessed with you and is also kind of a punk - Leo just might be your guy. He’s looking for a relatively quiet home with someone who will go slow with him to build a relationship, provide just the right amount of enrichment (a few wand toys and a window to watch the birds should do the trick 😉) and above all - a brave cat lover looking to take on a misunderstood boy. ❤️‍🩹❤️

If you’re interested in meeting Leo, feel free to pop in during our open hours on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 1-5 PM. The APCSM is located at 1300 West Elm St Ext in Brockton.

We have some wonderful news to share!

APCSM has been awarded a $1,000 Community Support Grant from Cape Cod 5 to support Sprout’s Pantry, our pet food assistance program for families experiencing financial hardship.

In 2025, Sprout’s Pantry distributed approximately 13,000 pounds of pet food, helping provide food for more than 1,300 dogs and cats. This grant will help us purchase supplemental food when donations are low and cover some of the supplies and operational needs that keep our Pantry running safely and efficiently.

Most importantly, this support helps us make sure that families facing temporary financial hardship have access to the resources they need to keep their pets healthy and at home.

Sprout’s Pantry was renamed in honor of Sprout, a severely malnourished dog who came into our care last year. Despite being just hours from death, Sprout made an incredible recovery, gaining triple her weight in just three months. Her story reminds us why we do this work and how much a little help can change an animal’s life.

Thank you to Cape Cod 5 for supporting Sprout’s Pantry and the pets and families who rely on it! We’re so grateful to have you as part of our community. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Kitty Yoga this morning! 🐈‍⬛🧘🏾‍♀️💕

We had so much fun, and the best part is that all proceeds from the class go directly back to supporting the animals in our care. 🐾

A huge thank you to Valeria for generously donating her time and giving us the perfect peaceful Sunday morning — complete with a much-needed dose of shelter kitty serotonin! 😻

Stay tuned for more Kitty Yoga dates… we’ll definitely be doing this again soon! 🐱💕
