MIREYA (NOW SILVER)
|
ADOPTED JULY 2021
I met him at the Cape Ann Animal Aid. He seemed friendly and eager to be with me until I got him home and he went into hiding for three days. He ate and drank what I put out for him so I knew he was there somewhere. On the fourth day he emerged from under a bed and sat still to listen to me praise him. Now, after three weeks, we are pals and he follows me everywhere to see what I am up to. He has the run of the house and he can usually be found sitting on a window sill watching every form of activity in our neighborhood. He has fun with a few cat toys but most of all he enjoys listening to praise. -John W. |
PABLO
|
ADOPTED JULY 2021
The adoption process was seamless. From application to visit only took days. My new family member is everything and more. Thanks so much for what you do. Megan was so helpful she knows her stuff. Within days Pablo has made himself right at home. He has had a couple of accidents but this is understandable as he was living in a kennel for several weeks. Love him so much he is a perfect gentleman. It’s obvious he does not have car experience quickly learned to jump in. Stairs a little tricky. Likes to empty his toy box. And take my sneakers away but not doing any damage. First night left alone while I worked he did great. Happy to see me in the morning and I was thrilled to have him home waiting. -Darlene D. |
BONNIE & CLYDE
|
ADOPTED OCTOBER 2020
During the pandemic, I lost my cat Boo of 12 years to cancer and was devastated. I’ve always had an affinity for black cats and knew I wanted to get two this time. Ideally, I wanted a bonded pair of two black cats and hoped to get cats that liked to cuddle. Well, you can imagine my surprise when Bonnie and Clyde came up on the website and were a perfect fit for me! They are both such sweet, gentle cats and made themselves right at home. I love them both so much and am so glad I found them. -Kailyn Y. |
JUNE (NOW JUNE BUG)
|
ADOPTED JUNE 2021
I saw a picture of this sweet girl on the CAAA page and fell in love. After a Zoom call with her foster mom, my son and I knew that this kitty was meant to be part of our family. June Bug is a sweet, smart, funny, naughty, curious, and snuggly - the perfect combination. She is fearless and loves people, especially when they give her a good belly rub. Thank you for rescuing allowing this sweet girl to come into our lives! -Melissa C. |
FLUFFY (NOW RADAR)
|
ADOPTED MARCH 2021
He went from being scared of everything and everyone, to a happy puppy that loves to chase his kitty cat sister. He catches on quickly to commands (with lots of treats of course). He also loves to crawl on top of his mom when she’s laying on the couch to soak in all the snuggles he can get! -Rachel H. |
PERCY
|
ADOPTED JULY 2021
Went to visit Cape Ann Animal Aid to visit and get some information as we wanted to adopt a kitten. Came home with Percy. He is enjoying is new home and we spoiled him with new toys and a warm and welcoming new home. Everyone at Cape Ann Animal Aid was so nice, welcoming and friendly. The place is pristine and the animals are lucky to stay there for a while until adoption. Wonderful place and people. Thank you everyone! -Arnaud C. |
ADELE (NOW PEPPER)
|
ADOPTED MAY 2021
Pepper is the absolute sweetest family dog we could have ever asked for! She’s gentle, calm and patient-greeting everyone with an enthusiastic wag of her tail and requesting frequent belly rubs in place of treats. She enjoys being out and about, interacting with people and other dogs despite her early hesitation to go for walks and explore her new neighborhood. Our son has fallen in love with Pepper, his first dog, and misses her if he’s away from her for long. We are so glad we chose to adopt an older dog like Pepper and wish she could have been in our lives even sooner! -Maylene |
FROSTY (NOW DAISY)
|
ADOPTED MARCH 2021
I saw Daisy (frosty) online and knew she was the dog for me. She is the sweetest dog and has never met a human or dog she doesn’t like. I can’t walk anywhere with Daisy without her trying to go up to 5 people to say hello. Quiet as a mouse and gentle as can be, unless it’s a chew toy. I couldn’t be happier having Daisy! -Gus R. |
EMMA (NOW NALA)
|
ADOPTED MAY 2021
I saw Emma and had looked on a few different sites and shelters, however when I came across Emma's picture I knew she was meant to be a part of our family. My son is almost 4 and he is as in love with her as I am. She has met her extended family and she loves them. She has been great crate training and is getting used to the dog park meeting friends. She is loving her toys and loves her neighbors! She isn't sure about the water yet but she can swim great. My son now has his best friend and so do I. We are happy to be able to be chosen to raise her. -Emily G. |
OANA AND FAWNA (NOW ANGEL AND SWEETIE)
|
ADOPTED JUNE 2021
We have always been a dog family and when we lost Gilligan our house seemed empty. Angel and Sweetie have adjusted very well and we are all I love with both of them. They depend on each other and it is funny watching the dynamics between the two of them. -Theresa D. |
POOH AND TULA (NOW SMOKEY AND CLOVER)
|
ADOPTED JULY 2020 AND MAY 2021
Several cats and a dog in my house when I got Smokey but before long with family members leaving the roost we were down to Smokey and my dog Bella. Started looking for a companion kitten and got a perfect match. The kittens play chase and share toys and when they get tired they rest together. -Bob S. |
MAX AND ROGER
|
ADOPTED FEBRUARY AND MAY 2021
After having to put down our Great Dane suddenly in February, we couldn't stand how quiet the house was without a furry friend. Not ready for another dog, we decided a cat would be a nice addition to our family. I knew from the moment I saw Max's profile that he was the one, and once we did our zoom call with him, the rest of the family was in agreement. Max was a wonderful addition to the family, but it became clear very quickly that he was my boy. And I was fine with that because he filled a huge void left in my heart after we lost our dog. When Roger's profile showed up, I again just knew he'd be perfect for us and, more specifically, for the kids. Since he was a barn cat at a race track, he hasn't been bothered by two active kids in the house. In fact, he is completely smitten with the kids and the kids want nothing more than to shower him with affection (which he gladly accepts with lots of rubs behind his ears and under his chin). Max and Roger have changed the minds of two adults who foolishly thought a cat could never replace the joy a dog brings and fulfilled the dreams of two girls who have been wanting a cat for several years. The only downfall of having two wonderful cats like Max and Roger is wanting 10 more cats just like them. -Jill P. |
LIL BIT (NOW CARDI)
|
ADOPTED MAY 2021
My boyfriend and I were looking for a sibling for our kitty named Leo. We wanted a cat around the same age and similar personality as him and Cardi was the perfect match and we couldn't be happier with her. She is so sweet and lovable and gets along so well with Leo (he loves to follow her around). She loves to play and run around the house with Leo and they just love to sit together in front of our slider door watching the birdies. Thank you CAAA for helping with this perfect match and thank you for all you do to help these babies find their fur-ever homes. -Amy S. |
PICHY (NOW DEEKS)
|
ADOPTED MARCH 2021
In August 2020 I lost my best friend Harley who was also a rescue Chihuahua. We had been together for 13 years and I was heartbroken. I began searching for a new furry friend in December. Because of Covid I searched online every day to no avail. In March I saw Pichy on your website. He looks so much like my Harley that I thought it might be difficult for me. I thought about completing an adoption form and when I checked a couple hours later, Pichy was no longer listed, so I said to myself OK he has found a forever home. Two days later Pichy was listed again. I immediately decided that Harley was trying to tell me something. I completed the adoption form on Friday and Pichy (now Deeks) came home with me on Monday. Deeks is the sweetest friendly puppy that I have ever seen. He loves people, enjoys playing with his toys (toy box getting full), and doing zoomies around the yard. We have bonded and are best friends. We thank Harley every night for bringing us together. -Ray T. |
JOURNEY (NOW ROXIE)
|
ADOPTED APRIL 2021
She is a sweetheart! We are working through the teething. Thank you to Cape Ann Animal Aid for our new addition to our family. She loves playing with the other dogs in the neighborhood. Plenty of exercise! -Carolyn I. |
HAYES (NOW ZERO)
|
ADOPTED MARCH 2021
We met Zero (Hayes) and immediately fell in love. Our dog Max was also quite happy and they ran around tails wagging. A month later and Zero is well adjusted. He loves his forever home and we love him to death! He even has his own Instagram! @i.am.zero0 Couldn't be any happier. -Andrew P. |
VENUS (NOW NICKY)
|
ADOPTED DECEMBER 2020
We adopted Nicky on December 6, 2020 which is St. Nicholas day, hence her new name! Nicky was in foster care with our good friends and neighbours who volunteer at Cape Ann Animal Aid. One night while we were all sitting around their fire pit a little face appeared at the window. Barbara and I knew immediately that it was time to have a cat in our lives again. After completing the adoption process we brought Nicky to her new home where she settled in and had us trained in no time! She loves to sit on our laps and cuddle in at night and she has taught herself to play fetch with her favourite ball. She likes to talk as she walks around the house and has a very loud purr which she is not afraid to use! Thank you CAAA for bringing Nicky to us. -David & Barbara W. |
GIGI (NOW GRACIE)
|
ADOPTED MARCH 2020
All our pets have been rescues, so it was a no brainer that we would rescue again after our beloved Zachary of 14 years passed. We just needed some time for our hearts to mend and be open to a new fur baby. We came into the shelter “ just looking”. The plan was to find an older dog that needed some TLC; however, the animal angels had another plan. Upon walking in we locked eyes with this tiny, big eared, 15 lb, long legged girl with eyes that just spoke to us. (she actually reminded us of Dobby in Harry Potter! ) Getting a puppy was not the plan, but it was the answer to rescuing us! We went into quarantine the next day due to the pandemic. Gigi became Gracie as she became our saving grace during this most challenging, solitary time. She has become such a love bug and a devoted companion. She is most happy running around, or being a lounge lizard. She loves camping, playing with her toys and running with her furry friends in the neighborhood. Everyone comments on her beauty, her personality, prancing gait and never ending wagging tail. Our days are much happier and brighter for having her in our lives. (it was wonderful being able to communicate with her foster dad, Jarhred in Puerto Rico- what a wonderful job he did in socializing her- we know he played a huge role in how she has grown and learned to trust us as her new humans- her brother, the orange and white fur ball, Mambo, was adopted the day before- if they live locally we’d love to connect. Thank you all at CAAA for all that you continue to do for animals. -KayLynn G. |
CHLOE
|
ADOPTED APRIL 2021
Chloe is the sweetest cat ever. She likes her 4-year-old adopted Molly the dog and she just loves attention from Linda and Myself. -Edwin Z. |
HAZZAN (NOW FIGARO)
|
ADOPTED MARCH 2021
Ever since coming home from Cape Ann Animal Aid, Figaro has been loving his new home in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He has seamlessly adjusted to living with his parents, Danny and Donna, and two older doggie brothers, Chino and Goose. Figaro loves exploring his new surroundings, going for walks around the city and the beach and especially loves running around the dog park. He loves chasing around his older brother Goose and wrestling around for bones and chew toys while their eldest brother Chino watches from the sidelines. When not out and about, “Figgie” has become quite the love bug. He loves cuddling up under a blanket with his Mommy and especially loves sitting on the couch watching New York Yankee baseball games with his Dad. Figgie also loves practicing his tricks (sit, paw/other paw, lay down and high five) and is quickly learning new ones. He has learned a lot from his older doggie brothers on how to be a good boy. When Figgie has a little too much energy, he loves getting his belly rubbed - which his parents have deemed his “off switch”. Figgie has already brought so much joy and happiness to his family and they look forward to a life of new experiences, loving and growing with him. -Donna A. |
