Please Adopt Us

Our list is a short one this week because so many of our beautiful cats have found homes in the past few weeks, but we still have some very special cats who need homes. Our featured cats this week are Penny, a beautiful, sweet black and white cat who has four double paws. She is loving, gentle and young — about two years old. The other cat is Adelaide, really just a kitten herself who is a year old and has just had a litter of kittens (all of whom have been adopted and she has just been spayed). She is a beautiful short-haired tabby with beautiful tiger markings.

The other cats available for adoption are Chloe, a brindle and black cat who needs a special person in her life; and Bart, a handsome, sleek black two-year-old. We also have two darling kittens left from a litter of five who were born at the shelter; one is a precious tiger and the other is all black. We don’t get many kittens at this time of year so come and see them — they may be the last of the season.

Shelter hours are Wednesdays 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The shelter is closed Sunday through Tuesday. The telephone number is 508-627-8662.

Volunteers are needed and contributions are always gratefully accepted; we are funded solely by donations. The Susie Fund was established to pay the medical expenses of animals at the shelter who need medical care. Please make checks out to The Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard; the mailing address is P.O. Box 190, Edgartown, MA 02539.
