Sally is a friendly approximately 1 year old cat who has been living in the Fresh Market parking lot for quite a while. We scooped her up at the end of December, vaccinated her, and treated her for worms and fleas.

Everything was going well, and we dropped her off for her spay surgery Wednesday….. but she did not wake up well from surgery, and she was having a lot of trouble breathing. Emergency X-rays showed that she had a diaphragmatic hernia (likely from being hit by a car at some point), and most of her abdominal organs were in her chest(!!).

Sally had a very scary additional surgery yesterday with a specialist to repair the hernia, and that went great. Her chest tube was able to be removed less than 24 hours later and she’s now back in her foster home.
Sally is a great cat and has really been through the ringer. She will be available for adoption in approximately 2 weeks.

The donate link again... two expensive but absolutely necessary major surgeries for the rescue this week.

Alfredo had his surgery this afternoon and is recovering great. The scar tissue in his leg was too severe to fix the fracture (the injury was older than we hoped), so he did end up having an amputation. But that's OK! He will make a great tripod.
Thank you very much to everyone who donated for his care.

Alfredo is a stray kitten who was found injured this week. He has a badly fractured right femur. The surgeon thinks it is repairable (trying to avoid an amputation). Alfredo is extremely friendly and will make a great companion once he is healed. If you'd like to donate towards his surgery (currently scheduled for Thursday) you can do so here:

Bonded pair of kittens available for adoption. Augusta and Kashmir are not related, but have become very bonded in their foster home and we would really like for them to stay together. They are 4-5 months old, sterilized, up to date on vaccines, FIV/FeLV negative and microchipped. More info about each kitten below.

Meet Kashmir
Kashmir is a beautiful male Siamese mix with soft coloring and adorable white feet. He’s on the shy side at first and will need a little patience—but once you earn his trust, he truly blossoms. When Kashmir feels safe, he becomes incredibly sweet and cuddly. He loves being near his person and will happily follow you from room to room, keeping you company in his quiet, loyal way. He’s not pushy for attention, but his affection is genuine and deeply rewarding. Kashmir would thrive in a calm, loving home with someone who understands that trust takes time. In return, you’ll gain a devoted companion who bonds closely and makes every moment feel special. If you’re looking for a gentle soul to grow a meaningful connection with, Kashmir may be the perfect match.

Meet Augusta
Augusta is a beautiful gray tabby with soft, shimmering fur marked by delicate spots that give her coat a unique, elegant look. She has a warm, expressive face and bright, curious eyes that seem to take in everything around her. Friendly and fearless, Augusta greets the world with confidence and an open heart, always ready to explore, play, or meet someone new. She’s fun-loving and full of personality, bringing joy and energy into the home. Beneath her adventurous spirit is a very sweet and caring soul— although she is younger, Augusta is especially gentle and attentive with Kashmir, often watching over him like a tiny guardian and offering comfort, companionship, and affection.

Miles is a friendly, outgoing 4 month old male available for adoption. He is very playful and energetic and would love be in a home with a kitten or young cat, or even a dog who will match his energy. His best friend is being adopted this week so I would really love to find a home for Miles.

If the year 2025 was a kitten, it would be this kitten. Not pictured, p**p caked into the fur on her hind end. I know Arthur was supposed to be the last intake this year, but now this kitten is, Midnight.

2025 was the worst year I have ever experienced in animal rescue. I think soul crushing is a pretty accurate description. We were completely overwhelmed by sick and injured animals, people giving away their pets, abandoned dying kittens, euthanasia lists, constant requests for help. Some of our own adoptions went poorly— there were some really heart-breaking returns. The gold star award goes to the woman who returned a pair of kittens, saying, “I remembered why I don’t like cats.” That’s a direct quote, and I won’t forget that one anytime soon.

2025 also saw municipal shelters impounding feral cats in traps again, where the only way out is as a dead body, so that doesn’t make a lot of sense. Trap and euthanize has literally never worked as population control for feral cats, never. It does result in a lot of dead cats though.

We saved some, and many many many more were not saved.
In summary, goodbye 2025, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Thanks to the helpers though. The people who adopted the three-legged and the one-eyed and the chronically ill. The veterinarians and vet techs who worked so hard to save the super sick ones, and did a million spays and neuters. The fosters who socialized the hissy and spitty, and bathed the fungusy. The fosters who took in hospice cases. The volunteers who drove very long distances for transports. And lastly, the incredible team in New England (land of milk and honey, though unfortunately also snow) without whom our intake and placement numbers would be a fraction of what they were this year.

Arthur is already doing a lot better ❤ This is a great cat. His wounds will take a while to heal (photo in comments) but he is going to be OK.

ADOPTED
Bunny is 3 month old female kitten found outdoors with severely infected eyes. She did end up losing one eye, but she CAN see, just not perfectly. She's very friendly. She's spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and FIV/FeLV negative. She has long grey and peach colored fur and will need to be brushed. She is strictly indoors.

Edit: apparently this post wasn't clear. The cat is out of the shelter and safe. He is not currently available for adoption.
This is our last intake of the year, Arthur. A terrified stray on the euthanasia list at animal control. He is not a feral cat. He’s a terrified, injured cat who will recover with some time. He does not need to be euthanized.

Kittens available now! These kittens would love to have homes for the holidays. They are indoor only kittens.
