Please Adopt Us

It was a wonderful week at the Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard. Five of the shelter’s long-term beautiful cats were adopted and the cages are almost empty. The shelter still has one special cat — Mango — who is very sweet and would make a wonderful lap cat for an older person who needs companionship.

There are three new cats who will be ready for adoption next week after they have been checked by a vet and had their shots.

And there is one dog available for adoption. His name is Tiger and he is a medium-sized Italian greyhound-dachshund cross, two years old. Everyone at the shelter has fallen in love with him and he will be hard to part with. He gets along well with cats but he would do best being the only dog.

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.

Contributions are always gratefully accepted; the shelter is 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 1829, Edgartown MA 02539.
