Spooky was surrendered at 8 years old to the shelter through no fault of her own. CAAA's team worked hard to get her skin and allergy conditions under control, and now she's proving that adopting a senior dog can be one of the most rewarding experiences out there! Here she is, now known as Sade, loving life in her furever home alongside her new best friend S**o.

We're honored to be part of so many Happy Tails, and it is so heartwarming to see a situation that once felt hopeless become one of constant companionship and contentment. 🥰 Happy Tails, Spooky!

🎉 Toothless got the all-clear! 🎉

Toothless had his echocardiogram today, and we have wonderful news: the cardiologist found no structural changes to his heart and has no concerns about his cardiac health. ❤

That means Toothless is cleared for surgery and, once he’s recovered, will be ready to find his forever home! 🏡 He was the best boy for his exam, and it’s safe to say everyone who met him fell a little bit in love. 🥹

A huge thank you to everyone who donated through Toothless’s post and helped make it possible for him to get the specialist care he needed. Your support got this sweet boy one big step closer to his happily ever after!

LAND SEAL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! 🩶

Just look at that FACE! 🥹 King is a 9-month-old pittie who is handsome, loving, affectionate, and apparently also auditioning to be the world’s cutest land seal.

King is fully house trained, very food motivated, and loves to learn. He’s an energetic, playful young guy who loves running around and chewing on his toys, but his foster says one of the best things about him is how well he can settle down at home. He’s incredibly sweet, loyal, and happiest when he’s close to his people. 🥰

And right now, King is part of our Name Your Price adoption special! That means any adoption donation will be honored to help this sweet boy find his forever home. ❤️ Check out King on our website and prepare to fall completely in love with those big, round eyes! 👀🩶

Happy Tails to Noccio and his adorably fluffy bum! 🩶✨🖤

"Wanted to write you with an update on Noccio - he’s settling in so well!

He goes by Dan now. Everyone who has met Dan has fallen in love immediately, including us. He has the sweetest little personality, and just enough of a wild side. He loves everyone he meets, and usually emerges to greet everyone who comes to the house. He greets us every morning, following us around talking and purring until we feed him.

He loves to sleep, especially on the couch in a sunny spot. Pretty consistently in the mornings and before bedtime he gets a jolt of energy and loves to chase the laser pointer, his toys, shoelaces, hair elastics, bottle caps, ants that have gotten into the house…all the things cats love. He loves windows and watching the wildlife outside.

Probably our favorite part about Dan is how much he enjoys spending time with us, especially our kids. He’s so patient with them and loves letting our daughter treat him like a baby. Any time someone lays down on the couch it’s not too long before Dan finds them for a snuggle session.

We’re so glad we found him. He’s everything we were looking for in a cat. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!

I attached a few photos - hopefully those come through."

🐾💙 Meet Henry, one of our amazing junior volunteers — and one VERY dedicated Tails on the Trails fundraiser!

Henry volunteers in our cat room with his mom, and after nearly a year and a half of caring for our shelter kitties, he knows just how special they are. Now, he’s taking his support one step further by fundraising for Tails on the Trails — and he’s already leading the charge and has raised nearly $400 in pledges! 🎉

As Henry shares on his fundraising page:
“I love the kitties that we take care of at Cape Ann Animal Aid and I want to help them find homes (especially the cat London).” 🥹

Henry understands that every dollar raised helps us keep our cats comfortable, happy, and well cared for while they wait for their forever homes. And he’s putting that understanding into action! We couldn't be more thankful for his participation, and we hope he inspires you, too!

Want to be like Henry? You can sign up for Tails on the Trails and create your own fundraising page to help the animals of Cape Ann Animal Aid. You don’t need to be a professional fundraiser - just sharing why you care can make a difference! 🐶🐱

Meet Mancha! She's an awesome 5 month old retriever/lab mix with a bit of a complicated history. Rescued from Puerto Rico, Mancha was temporarily paralyzed (we believe) but has since recovered incredibly. Hear her whole story with the help from Mancha's current foster dad, Steve, as well as Cape Ann Animal Aid's Jane Young 🐾
