PETS FOR ADOPTION
Provided by NEARR (Northeast All Retriever Rescue): Hi my name is Cole. I am a laid back, 6 year old neutered male, black Lab mix who doesn’t mind hanging out at home. While I do enjoy a good game of fetch I am more of a couch potato than the athletic type though a leg stretcher (aka a walk around the block) is nice. I am a bit choosy on my canine friends and would love to be your one and only. I’m okay with older kids and cats are not my thing. If you are looking for a good looking, well mannered, easy going middle-ager I’m your guy. Let’s snuggle!
7 December 2008: Sweet Tabby needs home. Cat was picked up by a college student and brought home to be adopted by a neighbor. Although a very nice cat, she doesn't like other cats. She would be great in a home without any other pets. As described by the college student who found her: She is almost a year old, she is really sweet and gentle with people, but a little nervous- she does not like it when you touch her front paws- she'll try to play and her nails are sharp...and she does not like to be picked up too much, although the longer she stayed with me she let me pick her up for a short period of time...she likes to eat a lot and needs a lot of attention and meows and talks quite a bit...she had a litter of kittens that are staying at the vet in worcester right now- she has a heart
murmur but it is not serious and she was tested for feline leukemia but it came back negative...and she had flea medicine and two doses of worm medicine...She's a very sweet, very interactive cat and likes to share a bed...we had a morning ritual and she would jump up or put her paw no my face because she wanted to be fed... Contact the Animal Control Officer at 617-993-2724 for more information.UPDATE: ADOPTED
   
PLEASE ADOPT ME!
25 August 2007: The following cat was rescued from a tree on School Street. She is currently rehabing at the ACO's home, but needs its owner. She is a very sweet cat, affectionate, but horribly thin.

HELP SAVE “ANGUS”
(UPDATE: "Angus" has been adopted into a great home, is doing very well and is extremely happy!)
Many thanks to everyone who made donations, and especially for everyone who cared enough to do something for a guy named "Angus" and give him a fair shot at life. -John Maguranis ACO
“Angus” was featured in the Belmont Citizen Herald on January 25th in a desperate attempt to find his owners after he was found laying motionless on Pleasant Street in 5 degree weather on January 17th. No one has replied and he now waits at City Cats in Arlington for hope. Normally, any animal that is picked up by Animal Control gets put up for adoption after aggressive efforts are made to find their owners fail. The problem with “Angus” is that he was brought in with what’s called, “a wound of unknown origin”. Because we have no vaccination history on him, he must be quarantined for 6 months. With no owner, he must either be quarantined at Belmont Animal Hospital (the town’s contract pound
facility) at the expense of the Town, or be euthanized.
“Angus” is an extremely affectionate, healthy, young male cat who captured the hearts of the Animal Control Officer and the folks at Belmont Animal Hospital. We desperately looked for a solution to keep “Angus” alive, so we contacted City Cats of Arlington and told them of his fate. They have agreed to take “Angus,” neuter him, care for him and hold him for the six months. What excellent people!
City Cats has accepted “Angus” into their facility with a promise that donations will help support and off-set the huge cost of housing, vaccinations, feeding, and neutering him for the next six months. City Cats is a small veterinary practice that specializes in cats. They took “Angus” because they care so much about animals and fell in love with him the moment they saw him.
Please help “Angus” and City Cats by sending a donation in his name. “Angus” desperately needs your help to get him through the six month quarantine so that he can be adopted out into a loving home. Please send a generous donation to:
City Cats
665 Massachusetts Ave.
Arlington, MA 02476
781-641-3673
Please be sure to indicate your donation is for “Angus”
Thanks so much to Belmont Animal Hospital and City Cats for caring so much and making such a difference to the strays that are brought through their doors far too often.
