We picked up a deceased Tabby cat with four white feet and a white throat on Main Street, near the library, today.
We also picked up a deceased white with black markings cat on Bond Road a couple of days ago.😢😢

If you know the owners of either of these cats, please call the non-emergency police number at 508-248-2266.

10/26/2026

This cat has been hanging around Carroll Hill since Saturday. (The cat is outside so it can return home if he/she is owned.)

If you recognize this cat, please let us know.
508-248-2398.

This cat was reported to be found early this morning on the corner of J. Davis and H. Putnam. He was left in a crate on the side of the road that has the name “Sunny” on it.

If you recognize this very obese cat, please call us 508-248-2398.

**We would like to clarify, the reason for calling this love bug “obese” was so if someone recognized this cat, they could compare their friends/family cat to an overly sized orange cat that lived in the vicinity. We love all animals, we have wonderful volunteers that take great care of them, they are loved. The description was simply for someone to realize how big this cat is and maybe identity as one they may know.

Missing from AF Putnam Road, please BOLO.

If you have seen them in your travels, please contact us! 508-248-2398.

🐾 FREE SPAY OPPORTUNITY FOR FEMALE DOGS 🐾

We wanted to share a great opportunity being offered through Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine – Luke and Lily Lerner Clinic!

Tufts veterinary students are looking for eligible female dogs as part of their surgical training program.

Eligible dogs must be:

* Female
* 16 weeks – 7 years old
* 10–80 lbs
* Generally healthy with no major medical concerns
* Not brachycephalic (flat-faced breeds such as Bulldogs or Pugs)
* Not Dobermans

For qualifying dogs, Tufts will provide:

🐶 FREE spay
🐶 FREE Elizabethan collar (cone)
🐶 FREE take-home pain medication
🐶 FREE heartworm test
🐶 Low-cost vaccines and microchipping available

This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who has been putting off getting their dog spayed because of cost while also helping future veterinarians gain valuable hands-on surgical experience.

📧 Interested? Contact the Lerner Clinic directly at [email protected]

Please feel free to share this post so we can get the word out to local dog owners who may benefit!

We regret to inform you that the small white dog that was spotted on Southbridge Road/169 yesterday evening, was hit by a car and did not make it.

The dog does not have a microchip and no one has claimed this sweet one yet.

If you know who’s dog this might be, please call Animal Control 508-248-2398.
