"Forever Paws will always hold a special place in my heart. About 18 years ago my parents adopted a beautiful black cat from here named Screech and she was able to be my loving best friend. This past May, Screech has crossed over the rainbow bridge after 21 long years of endless love, affection, and care. In her honor in the same month I adopted a cat of my own, Miss Mollie!

The staff at Forever Paws are so kind and honest - I had and always have had such a wonderful experience with them. By appointment I was able to meet the available cats up for adoption and talk about their personalities. I also have a rabbit at home who deeply cares about her space and I needed this to be acknowledged. The staff were able to test some cats to see how they would fare with my bunny and were able to be honest with me with those who would not be best for my home. We met Mollie and she has thrived wonderfully in our home for the past 3 and treats our bun with respect and love! She even reminds me of my Screech, who used to follow me around everywhere I went and walk around aimlessly meowing in the night.

Thank you Forever Paws for all that you do and have done to help me personally! Hopefully when Mollie is more adjusted, we will be adding another addition to the family!"

Look at how absolutely STUNNING Sriracha is!

Sriracha came to us after getting into a fight with a dog and winning...so needless to say, we wouldn't place her with dogs. However, she's one of the sweetest torties that we've ever met which is definitely saying something! She'll actively seek out attention from people and is an absolute ham when she wants love and all eyes on her. But remember that she IS a tortie and when she reaches her limit, she'll let you know!

This pretty girl has been great with other cats since she's been in our free-roaming community cat room. There's been no drama, no instigating, so we would be perfectly comfortable placing her with other cats.

Basically, Sriracha is a typical tortie with a dash more sugar. She's sassy, independent, and there's a reason that she was named Sriracha! She's definitely a character and, despite being around eight years old, still has some kitten energy that will result in some intense zoomies and play sessions!

We have kittens! Say hello to Godiva, Ghirardelli, and Toblerone!

These sisters are about 10 weeks old and ready for their forever homes. They do not have to go together but applicants applying for more than one will take priority over those applying for a single kitten.

Like us? Love us? Head over to google and leave us a review! Here's what another adopter had to say:

"My family and I not only had one AMAZING experience at Forever Paws - we have had a total of 4! We adopted our first cat back in 2020 during the pandemic and have since adopted another cat and two chihuahua mixes; the most recent adoption just a few months ago. Our fur babies are truly family ❤️ The staff and volunteers are not only informative and helpful but pleasent and personable. Forever Paws is truly amazing! Seeing all of the animals that are up for adoption being taking such wonderful care of until they find their forever home is heartwarming ❤️ Thank you Forever Paws for the wonderful work you all do!!"

Look at this round boy!

If you don't immediately fall in love with Klaus's chubby tomcat cheeks, then...we don't know what to tell you. Just look at him! His face is round, his cheeks are round, his body is round, his eyes are round... He's a perfect sphere of squish.

Klaus is a little over four and a half years old. He likes things how he likes them and he wants them how he wants them. He takes a bit to warm up and you may be gifted a swat or two or several in the meantime but he is not a mean cat! He's just confused and a little bit scared so he's extra defensive.

Once he warms up, though, he's the most squishable squishmallow to ever exist. He loves his person and will chirp for their attention and share all of his opinions and thoughts with them. He might be okay with other cats as long as they respect his space but, at the same time, don't let him scare them into submission. He just needs a patient family that won't be turned off by his growls and smacks while he adjusts and settles in. They'll be rewarded with one incredible feline!

Remember Misha? She's doing great! Here's what her forever family has to say:

"Adopted a female cat named Misha. The whole process was quick and easy. We got to meet her, by appointment, filled out the adoption paperwork and within a couple of days, we picked her up and brought her home. The staff went above and beyond, making sure to explain details and some pet history. We left there fully confident that she was healthy. Definitely recommend everyone to contact them about adopting."

Look at this handsome hound mix!

Gustave is your typical hound; high energy, stubborn, easily distracted, and goofy! (I mean, look at those ears.) He's about two years old so still very much in "go go go" mode.

He takes a bit to warm up but once he does, he's happy to lounge next to you and get comfortable or do his own thing as long as he can still see you and knows that you're there. His zoomies get pretty intense so someone that can keep up with him is a must. He loves plush toys (loves to destroy them!) and can play catch with himself for hours.

He's okay with other dogs, but meets would have to be done with any potential canine housemates. NO CATS for this guy and no kids under 12yo. He's a bit too high energy and might be a bit too rough for littles.

***SPECIAL NEEDS ADOPTION***

Don't let her RBF fool you. Blackberry is an absolute sweetheart. She loves her people and loves her attention, almost as much as she loves cozy beds and long naps in the sunshine. This older gal is about eight-and-a-half years old so she knows what she likes and what she wants out of life and, again, it's attention and cozy beds and long naps in the sunshine.

This girl is a special needs adoption because she has a heart murmur. It's been graded at a 3/6 murmur, so it's pretty average as far as murmurs go. It hasn't caused her any problems yet but will require some routine maintenance in the future such as echocardiograms and work ups with a cardiologist. She's also got some problems with her hips that we're trying to figure out but that isn't causing her very many issues either. Just no high jumps for this girl!

Blackberry would much prefer being the only pet in the home. She likes all of the attention on her and doesn't quite know how to share. She's a sweet little purr monster looking for somewhere soft to land where she can get all the snuggles and scratches that she could ever dream of!

We have some very, very gorgeous cats that are available for adoption! Siamese, Maine C**n mixes, domestic long hairs, etc!

Give us a call to come meet them!

Spike will be a special needs adoption because he is partially blind.

Pancake and Crepe are a bonded pair and must go together. They will also be a special needs adoption because Pancake occasionally has stress-induced seizures.

***SENIOR ADOPTION***

Look at this sweet old man!

Amos is about ten years old so he's a bit slower and less energetic than he probably was in his prime and he's just looking for someone he can snuggle up on the couch with and watch the days go by. He's a gentle, friendly little house hippo whose tail is always wagging and he's always ready to greet everyone! He's a mature, distinguished older gentleman that still enjoys a good squeaky toy but much prefers attention from his people.

He's a healthy older guy whose only medical issue seems to be a skin tag above his eye. It can bother him occasionally but for the most part, we're not even sure if he knows that it exists!

No cats, female dogs only, and kids 12+ please! You also must own your own home (or live in a home owned by a family member) to be considered for Amos.

Come give this guy a soft place to live out his golden years!

Pretty girl Arista is finally getting her forever home!

***SPECIAL NEEDS/SENIOR ADOPTION***

Say hi to Gizmo!

Gizmo is 14 years young and looking for a safe place to live out his golden years! He unfortunately came to us after his owner fell ill and there was no family able or willing to take him in. So, here he is, and this sweet older boy is definitely winning over the hearts of staff and volunteer alike!

This boy will be a special needs adoption because he needs to be on a prescription diet (Hill's C/D Urinary Care) due to a past urinary blockage. He's done very well on this diet and has not had a reoccurance.

Gizmo will definitely be a cuddlebug once he warms up to his new people. He's definitely a lover boy here at the shelter and loves him some attention!

Say hi to Flapjack!

Flapjack is about seven years old and he's a bit on the shy side! He's a little bit confused and a little bit nervous and we don't blame him; he's been through a big change! He's a cautious guy so winning him over may take more than one meet. Once he does warm up and get comfortable, though, he's more go-with-the-flow than you would expect. Not much fazes him, not much gets a reaction out of him. Flapjack is slow and steady!

He's a yorkshire terrier mix, but we aren't sure what the 'mix' part is. Maybe Maltese, but we can't be positive. Nevertheless, Flapjack will require some regular grooming and aesthetic maintenance...and regular haircuts so he doesn't look like a hippie.

This guy would most likely do well with other similar-sized dogs as he's been fine with them here. Cats we would be more cautious about. Children must also be 12+ because he's an older guy and his patience is beginning to run out!

All in all, Flapjack is a sweet, mature guy looking for a quiet family or a low-key couple to spend his life with.

***SENIOR ADOPTION***

Say hello to Miss Petunia!

Petunia is the strongest, bravest, most resilient pug we know! She came to us seriously, gravely injured and thanks to a collaborative effort between us, Baystate, Fall River Animal Hospital, and Pet Partners, this girl is healed and healthy and ready to move on to her forever home!

This girl has been in a foster home with one of our best fosters since December, so she is plenty socialized! She's been around other dogs and cats and does just fine with both of them. She's a mellow, slow-moving girl that can be a bit demanding when it comes to food and attention but that's okay; she's a princess!

Petunia is a little under eleven years old but is full of sass and personality. She's had all of her teeth removed due to some severe dental disease, but don't let that fool you; this girl is FOOD-MOTIVATED! Once she bonds to you, she'll be your little shadow and follow you around just to be next to you.

Say hello to Sonny and Cher!

These two puppies are...something. Mom is a mix. Dad is a mix. These two? Mix squared. We think maybe...doodle terrier? Honestly, we really don't know. They're cute. That's all that matters.

Cher (the black and white female) is the bouncier, more outgoing, extroverted of the two though Sonny (the black male) isn't far behind her! They're about 13 weeks old right now so will be able to adjust to pretty much any home. Cher is about 24lbs and Sonny is about 25lbs right now but we have NO idea how big they'll get!

These two don't need to go to their new home together. It would be great if they did! But it's not required.

Cats okay, other dogs okay, kids 10+ please!

Marbles is going home!

08/16/2023

Good morning, everyone!

We are currently inundated with cats 😔 We have so, so many looking for their forever homes. Please take a look at some of our available kitties and reach out to us if you see someone that you are interested in.

Blue text are males, pink text are females. Ages are approximate unless we have their birthdate from their previous owners.

Spike and Gizmo will both be special needs adoption. Spike is partially blind and Gizmo is on a prescription urinary diet.

Crepe and Pancake are a bonded pair and MUST go together, and will also be a special needs adoption as Pancake can have stress-induced seizures.

Blackberry and Delphine would both do best as the only pets in the home.

Jinkies!

Meet Daphne and Velma! These twin girls are about four months old and every bit the playful, silly kittens that they look like! They're also very affectionate, prone to falling asleep in your arms/lap when they're done causing mischief and mayhem. They both purr up an absolute storm with any kind of attention!

These girls don't HAVE to go together, but first consideration WILL go to those applying for both. Daphne and Velma are often peeking over at each other for reassurance and, besides, two kittens are definitely better than one! And, really, what's the difference anyway?
