🐾 JUNE IS ADOPT A CAT MONTH! 🐾

Long naps. ☀️ Sunny windows. ❤️ Forever family.

There’s something special about a shelter cat. Whether they’re playful kittens, curious explorers, expert biscuit-makers, or quiet companions, every cat in our care is waiting for the same thing—a place to call home.

This June, we invite you to visit the Penobscot Valley Humane Society and meet the cats who are ready to start their next chapter. By adopting, you’re not just gaining a pet—you’re giving a deserving animal a second chance and opening space for us to help even more cats in need.

🐱 Kittens, adults, seniors, and everything in between
🐱 Loving companions for every lifestyle
🐱 Vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and ready for their forever homes

If you’ve been thinking about adding a feline friend to your family, there has never been a better time.

🏡 Visit us, fall in love, and take home your new best friend.

We are often asked, “what keeps you going?”

It’s moments like this….

Rufus came to us on 03/09/2026 after the human he was with was arrested in our little town. We knew nothing about Rufus, except that the human we thought to be his owner probably wasn’t going to be going anywhere for a while. We resigned ourselves to the fact that we probably wouldn’t get any information about him from this person, so we set about getting to know “Maxx” as we named him.

March passed and we knew some things about “Maxx” but we were still feeling his personality and demeanor out.

April passed and we felt comfortable enough that “Maxx “ was able to start going on walks with volunteers. It was pretty obvious that our employee, Myranda, and Maxx were getting a pretty special bond.

As May started to unfold we decided the best course during our recent spay/neuter clinic would help us find a forever family for our “Maxx” boy.

But then…one night we were scrolling Facebook, as one does in the evening, and we stopped in our tracks. There was “Maxx”…undeniably. He was listed as missing from Kenduskeag. A possible theft. We reached out. We sent photos. We chatted. It was Rufus. No doubt this was the boy stolen off his lead in March from Kenduskeag.

Flash forward to today. RUFUS WENT HOME TO HIS FAMILY!!! Reunited AT LAST!!! 🏡 🥰

So, why do we do this? Because of moments like this one captured forever in one photo.

🐾 Introducing Wishlist Wednesday! 🐾

Starting today, we’ll be sharing a weekly Wishlist Wednesday post to highlight items our shelter animals need most.

Each week, we’ll feature a few supplies that help us keep tails wagging, cats purring, kennels clean, and bellies full. Donations of any size make a real difference for the animals in our care.

This week, we are currently in need of:

🐱 Kitten food
🐶 Dog food
🧼 Cleaning supplies
🧺 Laundry supplies
🗑️ 33 gallon black trash bags

If you’d like to donate, items can be dropped off at the shelter during regular business hours, or you can go to our links section and order through Chewy.com and Amazon straight to our door!

Thank you for always showing up for our animals. We couldn’t do this without our community. 💙

🇺🇸 Memorial Day Weekend: Honoring Animal Military Heroes — Day 3 🐾

Today’s focus animal is SSgt Reckless, a brave Korean War horse who served with the United States Marine Corps.

Reckless carried ammunition to Marines on the front lines and helped evacuate wounded soldiers from dangerous battle areas. During one intense battle, she made repeated trips through enemy fire — often on her own — delivering supplies where they were needed most.

Her courage, intelligence, and loyalty earned her the rank of Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps.

This Memorial Day weekend, we honor SSgt Reckless and all animal military heroes who served beside our troops with bravery and devotion.

Heroes come in many forms — with boots, paws, wings, and hooves. ❤️🤍💙

🇺🇸 Memorial Day Weekend: Honoring Animal Military Heroes — Day 2 🐾

Today’s focus animal is Cher Ami, one of the most famous carrier pigeons of World War I.

Cher Ami served with the U.S. Army Signal Corps and became known for carrying a lifesaving message from the “Lost Battalion” during battle. Even after being badly wounded, Cher Ami completed the mission — helping stop friendly fire and saving American soldiers.

For this bravery, Cher Ami was awarded the Croix de Guerre with Palm by the French government.

This Memorial Day weekend, we remember that heroes come in many forms — some with boots, some with paws, hooves, wings, and feathers.

Today, we honor Cher Ami and all animal military heroes. ❤️🤍💙

🇺🇸 Honoring Animal Military Heroes This Memorial Day Weekend🐾

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country — and we also honor the courageous animals who stood beside them.

From military working dogs to horses, pigeons, mules, and countless other animals, these heroes carried messages, detected danger, transported supplies, protected their units, and offered comfort in unimaginable conditions.

Today, we honor all who served — two-legged and four-legged. ❤️🤍💙

Thank You for Supporting Our Bottle Drive! 🐾

We just closed out our bottle drive, and thanks to our community, $261 was raised for the shelter in just one week!

Every bottle and can adds up, and your support helps us continue caring for the animals who need us most.

And don’t forget — you can support the shelter anytime by donating your returnable bottles and cans. Just let the attendants know you’d like your bottle return to go to the Humane Society, and they’ll take care of the rest.

Thank you for helping us turn bottles and cans into care, comfort, and second chances. 💙💙

A special thank you to Lincoln Redemption Center and their team for hosting this fundraiser and all of their hard work! 🐶🐱💙
