Bette Davis, formerly known as Starbuck, has that Hollywood glam look every beautiful actress should! She was adopted back in 2019, and what a treat to see her now!

"Bette Davis quite happily poses for a photograph. She loves to be the center of attention and enjoys being admired by guests but cuddled only by her cat mom."

🛍️ Shopping, playing, dining, and doing good!

This November, we're taking the time to share our thanks for all of the ways that our community supports homeless animals in need! One of our favorite things about our community? Seeing local businesses turn everyday moments into opportunities to help animals in need. ❤️

To every business that hosted a fundraiser, donated a portion of sales, organized a special promotion, or invited customers to give back in 2026: THANK YOU!

Whether you helped raise funds through a special event, a shopping day, a delicious meal, or a creative community fundraiser, you reminded us that doing good doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes, it starts with a great local business and a whole lot of heart.

Thank you for putting your business behind our mission and helping homeless animals find their way home! 🐾

This November, we want to take the time to share our thanks for all of the ways that our community supports homeless animals in need. From our biggest fundraisers to the community events that bring animal lovers together, we're so grateful for everyone who shows up for Cape Ann Animal Aid!

To our incredible event sponsors, thank you for investing in our mission and helping make these events possible. And to everyone who buys a ticket, bids in an auction, buys a raffle ticket, or simply comes out to support us — thank you for being part of the fun!

Every sponsorship, ticket, bid, and high-five helps us provide the care, comfort, and second chances homeless animals deserve. We couldn't do it without you, and we're so glad you're part of our pack! ❤️

Just one of the fam! Olive, formerly Rikki, was adopted just over a year ago, and it's clear that she's become a cherished family member. 🥰

"We started looking for a new dog a year after our beloved family dog, Noodle, had passed away. We weren’t sure we were emotionally ready for a new pet, and Olive (aka Rikki) at Cape Ann Animal Aid was the first dog we met in person. We told our eight-year-old twins that this was probably going to be the beginning of a long search process for a new dog, but as soon as we met Rikki, she bee-lined for a “hug,” nuzzled in my armpit, and it was love at first snuggle.

The first two weeks were an adjustment, because Olive wasn’t sure what to make of her new brothers. She then completely accepted them as part of her pack, and they now love each other deeply. Olive loves to play EVERY chance she gets and to snuggle hard. She’s basically a competitive high jumper who should be entered into some sort of doggy Olympics. She’s been a wonderful addition to our family, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her presence in our lives."

Happy tails to Ronni Raven! This pretty lady was adopted after about a month at the shelter, and she is queen of the castle in her forever home!

"She now goes by Gracie (often times Gracie Goober) and she is settling in so well! It didn't take her but a few hours to eat and snuggle once we brought her home! She is just the sweetest cat ever and we can't imagine our lives without her. Thank you for taking her in and for taking care of her while she waited for us! She LOVES pets, napping, freeze dried chicken treats, playing fetch, and her window bed in the morning sun! She is happy, playful, and loved!"
