HOT ROD (NOW TYRION)
ADOPTED NOVEMBER 2023
When my girlfriend and I first saw Tyrion, we instantly fell in love with him! Although he is a shy guy, when I first reached in the cage to pick him up, he licked my fingers and nibbled on them--effectively marking us as his new parents! It took a few days for him to adjust to his new home and our other female kitten Khaleesi, but they are happy as ever together- exploring, sleeping, and getting into mischief together! We are forever grateful to Cape Ann Animal Aid for gifting us with this sweet boy and making our family more complete! :) -Darron D. |
RUFFLES (NOW NOVA)
ADOPTED AUGUST 2023
We have had the joy of having Nova for almost 4 months now. She is the sweetest love bug, with plenty of kisses to share with people and other dogs! Nova loves the fall, sniffing all of the leaves, and being outside! We are so happy with our girl, she has added so much love to our lives!! -Sydney N. |
SHRAPNEL (NOW SCRAPPY DOO)
ADOPTED OCTOBER 2023
We adopted Scrappy at 3 and 1/2 months. He's a little over 4 months now and he has fit in so well with our family. He is an excellent puppy and other than eating my living room sofa cushion he has been absolutely fantastic! He has meshed in perfectly with the dogs. He loves going in the backyard and doing zoomies. He's really come out of his shell - he plays with us and he comes when he's called. He's doing fantastic thank you so much for trusting us to love him so much. -Renee R. |
HUEY (NOW FRANKLIN)
ADOPTED NOVEMBER 2023
Franklin, formerly Huey, is loving his new home! He is such a sweetheart—the friendliest boy! He purrs so loudly and fell asleep on my lap the first night home while I was doing work at my computer. He gets the zoomies sometimes but also enjoys curling up next to me while I sleep. Franklin is so loved already and I am so glad I chose to adopt from CAAA! -Madeline R. |
KERRY (NOW RUBY)
ADOPTED MAY 2022
Ruby was one of a pack of Irish-named siblings, two of whom we are in touch with and see on occasion. She is the wiggliest and sweetest pup and is well-known by all the Ravenswood regulars to whom she will always say hello. She approaches every meal and treat as if it might be her last, and loves snuggling. -Michelle D. |
BEAU
ADOPTED MARCH 2023
We saw him on PetFinder and we knew that the staff at CAAA would help us make a good choice. We visited with him and took him home. He is a great dog, he likes all dogs and meeting new people. He is also very timid and fearful at times (he is afraid of water, boats, garden tools, loud noises). Overall he has a great temperament and he is a wonderful family member. -Moriah M. |
SANDERSON (NOW SAMPSON)
ANGEL BUG (NOW ANGEL)
WADE
ADOPTED MARCH 2015
Wade, Cape Ann Animal Aid's Live Long & Pawsper dog, has made his way to Halifax, Nova Scotia where he recently won the 2023 Saltscapes Top Dog Photo Contest Sponsor's Choice Award! He would like to thank everyone at Cape Ann Animal Aid and Road Trip Home Animal Rescue for making his journey to top dog possible! -Marshall P. |
BILAAKE (NOW BEANS)
ADOPTED NOVEMBER 2023
We adopted Beans in hopes to get our other cat, Pea (also adopted from CAAA, formerly ‘Ellie Girl’), a companion. After less than a week of having Beans, our cat Pea has started to grow so fond of him. He has such a big personality which helped win over Pea, the very stubborn queen of the castle. We can’t say enough amazing things about the adoption process with Cape Ann Animal Aid. They have helped us build our little family. -Erin M. |
SHRAPNEL (NOW SCRAPPY)
ADOPTED OCTOBER 2023
We saw Scrappy on the website and fell instantly in love with him. We were able to foster him for a couple of days before his neuter surgery knowing in our hearts there was no way we could ever give him back. He has just fit into our lives and is coming out of his shell so much it's astonishing. We love him so much and thank you very much for allowing us to share in this love. He has his own little pet bed and he goes into the other room to take a dog toy and bring it back into his pet bed. He's eating wonderfully he's just doing fantastic overall and I'm so happy with him. Thank you. -Renee R. |
HALO (NOW COSMO)
ADOPTED MARCH 2023
Cosmo has brought so much joy to our lives! He is such a love bug and keeps us laughing with his silly antics. Although very playful he has a wonderful personality and is super gentle even with our young children. He is also very vocal and loves to chirp and meow all day. His favorite activities are looking out of the window, playing, zooming around the house, finding a comfy spot for a nap, snuggling, and eating of course. We couldn't have asked for a better addition to our family. Thank you Cape Ann Animal Aid and partners for all the work you do! -Adrienne C. |
ELIZA (NOW PIPER)
ADOPTED AUGUST 2023
I started volunteering at Cape Ann Animal Aid back in June. We had to put a cat down last year after being our baby for 15 years. I was on the lookout during my shifts for a new fur baby. Eliza and I just clicked. She is the most LOVABLE cat we've ever had and slept with us the very first night, curled up under my neck. We couldn't be happier with this bundle of love. She's so sweet and playful and a totally adorable little kitty! -Michele P. |
MARINARA (NOW CHEETO)
ADOPTED OCTOBER 2023
We adopted Marinara (now Cheeto) about a month ago. We are so in love with him! He is sweet and sassy and just a really great kitten! We have been working hard introducing our dog Milo to Cheeto and our efforts are starting to pay off!! They are tolerating each other and we have high hopes they will be great friends! Thank you for bringing this furry bundle of joy in to our lives! -The Johansson Family |
MISTY
ADOPTED OCTOBER 2023
Hi! I wanted to let you know that Misty is doing great! She's been exploring her new home and is eating and sleeping very well. She really likes her window perch I set up for her as well as her cubby bed and toys! She actually jumped up and sat next to me on my couch to get a treat. It lasted less than a minute but I think it's amazing progress for being her less than a day! I'm positive she will start to warm up more and more as she becomes acclimated and knows she's safe with me. Thank you for letting me meet and adopt her! -Anne B. |
BROOKE
ADOPTED AUGUST 2023
Brooke and I would like to thank Cape Ann Animal Aid for taking such good care of my girl while we waited to find each other! Not only is Brooke the best cat ever (bias of course) she is now my bestie. She’s got the sweetest personality, loves car rides and adventures, and best of all cuddles and scratches. I think we truly were meant to find each other and I cannot thank Cape Ann Animal Aid enough for how well she was taken cared of during her months long stay. Much love, Cassie and Brooke. |
BILLIE
DEWEY
ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 2023
Dewey is a great addition to our home. After arriving here, he needed only a short time before settling into to his forever home. He is very sociable and affectionate and likes to be with us (which we like). Whenever we leave, he waits in the window for us to come back and meows as if he is complaining about us being gone. He enjoys playing with toys and carries them around and hides them. He spends a lot of time crawling under furniture in search of his lost things. He still sleeps every night on the blanket that he brought with him from CAAA, a reminder of the great care he received there before his adoption! -Rick O. |
MILLIE (NOW BRANDY)
BLUE (NOW BENNY)
ADOPTED JUNE 2023
We adopted our first dog, Molly from Cape Ann Animal Aid in 2009. She was the love of our life but sadly passed away in June. After a few visits to CAAA we saw Blue, now Benny. We knew immediately he was right for us. It has been two months and he has settled in so nicely. He loves his walks, going to obedience class and playing in the yard, but he is happiest snuggling with his mom and dad or relaxing on the couch. Thank you for all you do for these animals. -Deborah S. |
MADISON & MAJOR (NOW SNOW AND TORNADO)
ADOPTED AUGUST 2023
Snow and Tornado joined our family and have been the joy of our children’s lives. They enjoy a warm sun spot to relax, love to purr and hangout while their human works from home. In the evenings, they are the epitome of entertainment for their children: chasing lasers and crinkle balls, even letting the youngest human pick them up! They are very happy kitties indeed and made their forever home here. -Sarah & Doug S. |
COSMO (NOW CARMELLO / CARMIE)
ADOPTED AUGUST 2023
Cosmo, now Carmello or "Carmie", came home with us a bit timid and skittish (understandably so, with EVERYTHING and everyone all very new) but also so very sweet and loveable. He has since become very comfortable, and come so far out of his shell! He is feeling right at home with his new (forever) family of 6. He quickly picked up basic obedience/commands, and also many other silly new tricks. He is beyond social and a favorite (of course) with the neighborhood friends, both human and animal... He especially loves all the kids. One of Carmie's favorite parts of being here with us, I'm pretty sure, is his yard ... He loves a good quick case of the "zoomies" and then lounging in the grass or basking in the sun! We are so happy to have Carmello, and know he is just as happy to have us! He is such a love, and filled our home with exactly that, and more! Thank you so much for all you do. Your dedication, commitment and love for all these animals can certainly be seen in each of their playful, loving dispositions. -Courtney N. |
