Milo is home! (5/3/2023) - Almost a month ago, Milo, a handsome 8-yr-old tuxedo kitty, became our resident feline. We were, for the first time in decades, pet-less after the death of our old foundling, T. William, a dog not known for his love of cats. We feel very fortunate to have found Milo who, as well as being decorative, […]
Frankie is 18 years old! (2/15/2023) - I came across Frankie’s rescue papers and thought I would let you know how he’s doing. He turns 18 this year and other than losing a lot of teeth he’s doing ok. He had a lot of teeth pulled years ago, but three years ago the vet said it wasn’t safe to pull the rest. […]
Elie, Our Maltese (11/21/2022) - We saw Elie first on Petfinder so we submitted an application. Soon afterward, Joy Duquette called us. We were on our way to meet Elie! And, what a girl! Elie is our little sweetie. She follows her mom all over the house, and her dad too. She has charmed our vets and staff at Kindred […]
Best Friends (9/15/2022) - Having lost both of my parents within 5 months, I had to be away from home quite a bit. In spite of having friends regularly checking in on our 2-year-old tabby Zar, he developed pretty severe separation anxiety. We debated getting another cat – a friend for him. Would he like them? Would this new […]
Mr. and Mrs. (9/8/2022) - A couple of years ago, we adopted another CARE cat, Winston. He never bonded with our senior kitty, Cricket. They didn’t fight, but lived separate lives; Cricket made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with our new arrival who looked like, but clearly was not, her longtime beloved companion Porter (who had also […]
BB the Gorgeous Beagle! (4/23/2022) - One fine September day back in 2018, we decided to go to an adoption event at Phydeaux. We already had adopted 2 dogs from CARE before and we just wanted to get some puppy love. We were not really looking to add to our pack but when we saw Beatrice the beagle, we fell in […]
Felix the Cat (4/12/2022) - Three weeks ago I adopted a second cat through CARE…an 11 month old tuxedo cat, Felix. I got him as a companion for my 7 year old female cat, Skittles. She has adjusted to his youthful antics, and he has been a constant source of amusement! Thank you CARE for all you do.
Bonded brothers (4/10/2022) - We started talking about adding another cat to our two cat household in 2019. When I found CARE and saw Fitz and Mac, I knew we couldn’t adopt one without the other. Our two cat household quickly became a four cat household. Patti was their foster mom and great about bringing them to our house […]
The love of my life (4/4/2022) - My precious Haven will be 7 yrs old on April 21, 2022. She came into my life at 6 months old having been fostered by Laura and Jesse. She is the bright spot in my life everyday. I will be forever grateful to CARE for choosing me as her forever mom.
Phoebe (3/8/2022) - We adopted Phoebe from CARE. She’s a great cat – we love her.
Red, Vesta, Humphrey, & Ginger (3/8/2022) - I have had 5 dogs in my life and 4 were adopted from CARE (the 5th, Kira, was a stray who showed up in the neighborhood). Red, my first, was Heinz57 mix and a lover. He was everyone’s friend, even though he had been a stray and, we found out later, had even been shot […]
Best dog ever (2/13/2022) - I saw Libby’s photo on the CARE website and knew right away I wanted to see her in person. It was love at first sight when we saw her at the adoption event and I believe it was mutual based on her little tail wagging around in circles at us. My daughter didn’t want to […]
My sweet baby Jade (2/13/2022) - I’m fortunate to work with a great guy (and his wife Joy) who are fosters for CARE. My mother had recently lost her beloved Chocolate Lab and was considering adopting another fur baby. We had discussed this sweet baby at work everyday. My mother was not in a position to take on the responsibility for […]
Ella! (2/10/2022) - We adopted Ella from CARE in the spring of 2021. She made herself right at home with us, keeping us laughing with her big personality and ridiculous curly back fur. Ella loves spending time in our yard (she’s a serious stick collector) and she’s developing a love for the beach too. It’s been great keeping […]
Murphy a.k.a. little wild man (1/10/2022) - After saying goodbye to two of our beloved kitties in 2020, we felt it was time to add another furry friend to our mix, so we decided to adopt a quiet somewhat playful kitty for our 6 yrs. old sweet settled down Mickey. I went online and looked and looked. Immediately upon seeing “Tom” Murphy’s […]
The perfect addition (8/15/2021) - We were lucky enough to rescue Isla (previously Reba) 5 weeks ago and she’s been the most amazing addition to our family. She has two rescue brothers and they all get along great. She also has two kitty sisters that love her. She was so well fostered that she didn’t take any time to warm […]
I Didn’t Know How Much I Needed a Rat Until I Had One (6/16/2021) - In December 2019, mid-Covid quarantine, the kids and I were having a very difficult time. I am a single mother of two kids that I have raised largely alone since ages one and four (now 16 and 19). Like everyone, we experienced a lot of loss over the many months of Covid. We were lucky […]
Life with Louie (5/10/2021) - I’ve always been a cat person. It’s hard to imagine life without them. Three seems to be the magic number for my house and when I lost Andrew to a probable cancer the world was off axis. My 2 female cats Pandora and Phoebe felt it too. Andrew left big paw prints to fill, but […]
Linus (Theodore…able!) (4/10/2021) - Many years ago I committed to sharing a home with a wayward teenage pup who was all trouble and smiles. She had since grown into a wonderful mentor and I started looking for a pup to absorb all her goofy habits. CARE was there and ready to help our fur family find a great match. […]
You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown….and You’re Not So Bad Either Peppermint Patty! (3/24/2021) - We lost our almost 16 year-old Lhasa Apso mix, Lady, in early February, and didn’t think we would look for a new family member right away. But, when we saw the pictures of the Peanuts gang on the CARE website, we were ready! We originally had our eye on Charlie Brown, but also had a […]
