Please Adopt Us

Our cat of the week at the Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard is Oreo, a tuxedo black and white neutered male with four double white paws. He is super-awesome, friendly and just plain handsome; he loves everybody, other cats included — you must stop by and see this great cat.

Our other cats are: Squibby, the Tiger Manx; Sky, the beautiful part-Siamese with beautiful blue eyes who is a big boy that loves to be petted; and our sweet, shy cage-mates Phoebe and Max, who should be adopted together (Phoebe is a tiger and Max is mostly white with tiger markings). We have three other cats who are being vetted at this time and will be available next week. Please stop by and visit and put a cat on your lap.

And don’t forget our memorial brick campaign — for $100 you can have a special animal memorialized or for $180 you can get two bricks to honor or memorialize a pet or special person in your life who loved animals.

We appreciate all the kind words about this column and it has been very successful in our adoption efforts.

The shelter hours are now Wednesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The telephone number is 508-627-8662. The shelter will close a little early on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving; please call for hours that week.
