Beautiful Lulu is a real stunner! This sweet, tiny cat is finally looking for a home!

Lulu is young, just about a year, and a petite little lady. She is super friendly and sweet with all humans! Lulu has seemed a bit displeased with other cats in her space and would likely prefer to be the only feline in the home.

While in our care, Lulu suffered from a bought of pancreatitis. She is now feeling so much better! Her new home should keep in mind she should be monitored for stomach upset.

If you're looking for a friendly long haired beauty queen, it's Lulu!

Molly is still looking to be adopted by.a loving owner.

While Molly may not be the best girl in the world, she sure is in the running for that title.

This 4-year-old total mutt is amazing. At 17 lbs, Molly is a steady size and full of fun and adventure. She loves everyone she meets, humans of all ages. Molly would be great to bring to soccer games on weekends and family hikes.

Molly does have some separation anxiety. While she isn't destructive, she does bark when left alone. She will not be a good fit for an apartment or close living. She would love a home where people are home a lot. Given Molly's love of other dogs, she would also be a good candidate for doggy daycare.

Molly is fun with other dogs and would need a pup who meets her high energy ways. We think that Molly would chase small animals, like cats.

This sweet lady is house broken and has not been destructive during her stay.

Please email us at [email protected] if you are interested in adopting magical Molly!

Molly recently had a dental with four teeth removed and the rest cleaned, she's looking good!

If you're looking for a loyal, high energy, super loving and fun pup, Molly is your gal!

PUPDATE! We are no longer taking applications for Bean. Thanks for all the interest!

Fluffy puppy alert! Fluffy puppy alert!

Here is Bean. A high energy, fluffy and overall very good boy. If you've ever met an Australian Shepard, you know they are not for the faint of heart. These super high energy dogs need someone who can meet both their physical and mental needs.

At just 4-months-old Bean is playful, fun and truly gets along with everyone. He has an excellent foundation of being really social. Like all puppies, Bean needs to work on house breaking and crate training.

Sure, he may scream a bit when left alone, chew your favorite shoe and p*e on your fancy carpet, but Bean brings so much joy to everyone who meets him! If you're looking for a new hiking friend, agility star and excellent little pup, Bean it is!

Moscow is a fancy cat with a bit of a quirky personality. The stunning fella is said to be a Siberian cat (likely a mix). He is quite handsome and loves to be brushed, a good trait in a cat with long hair.

At about 5-years-old, there is some mystery around this cat. He was brought to the shelter with a note, but that is all we know. Does he like other cats? We aren't too sure. Dogs? Unknown. Kids? Probably not given he is shy (but harmless).

Mossi spends a lot of time in his bed. When you start to give him affection is when you see him come out. He doesn't seek human attention but enjoys it. He is just a tough guy to read!

We suspect in a quiet home with some extra TLC and patience he will be a good companion. There is nothing mean about him, just a shy cat.

Cassandra is a sour patch kid. First she's sour, then she's sweet (then maybe a little sour again).

This 3-year-old Torti has all the toritude that comes with the stereotypes of her kind of cat. Cassie may hiss, give a little swat, then with gentle coaxing and sweet talk, she's your bestie.

Cassandra may never be a lap cat but in a quiet home, she will come around and be a companion to the person she loves. She is looking for a home without kids or other animals, her preference is being the queen of her castle.

Those who have loved a tori in the past will read this and think "yup! that's my kind of girl!" We know there is a home out there who will appreciate a moody beauty queen!

Are you bored? Looking for ways to fill your evening? Why not foster an adult cat who needs her butt washed! An activity the whole family can enjoy!

Lucy is trying hard to loose weight so she can eventually wash her own butt, but we all know that is not an easy task. We'd love to get her out of the shelter and into a home while we get her weight and rear end hygiene under control and she can be adopted.

Lucy is overall a lovely cat but will need a semi experienced and confident cat handler as you can imagine the butt washing doesn't go over too well with a cat. Our cat expert Bonnie will gladly give you a lesson!

Come on, help a big ol lady out! We may all need a little extra help some day, so put in your good karma now!

If this speaks to your soul and you want to help a chunky lady out, email [email protected]

We received a wonderful adoption update on Paper Weight, now Otto! 🥰

Here is the wonderful update from Otto’s owner:

In June I decided it was time to fine a new feline companion after being without a cat for six months. The ideal cat find would be a young male, and it just so happened that Scituate Animal Shelter had some kitties that fit the bill. The first one I picked up was a tiger named ‘Paper Weight.’ He was an affectionate little guy who won me over immediately, and came home with me that day. In the past month ‘Otto,’ as he’s now known, had settled in, won over everyone who has met him, and brought joy & s***k to the house!

Happy life, Otto! 😺

Catgirl is not your average little kitten, she's kind of like a supervillain kitten.

Still a baby at just under 4-months-old, this itty bitty baddie needs more TLC. She has been in a foster home and when you catch her, she doesn't mind it, but needs more squishing to make her friendly.

While Catgirl is not enthused with humans, she does love other cats! Maybe you don't mind a friend for your cat who may never love you as much? Catgirl is your lady! But, we hope with time and lovings, she will come around and humans will no longer be her cryptonight.

We can use our super powers to sense she will be ok! With some determination, extra TLC and maybe a friendly feline to show her the way, we hope to see an adoption update in a year showing us all the progress she made!
