We’re delighted to report that Baby Cakes, the two-year-old, medium-hair, female tabby cat has an adoption pending. She is heading to her new home today. Good luck to you in your new family.

Our pet of the week is Bob, a one-year-old, solid gray, bobtail cat. Bob has just arrived so we don’t know much about him yet, but he seems to be adjusting to his new environment and warming up to people. He is an indoor cat, up-to-date on vaccines and ready to go. Stop by and see if he could be your guy.

The next nail clinic takes place on Saturday, July 13 from 10 a.m. until noon; walks ins only, $20 cash or check. Due to scheduling issues with the Steamship, All Pet’s Medical Center may not be able to return to the Island until September. Stay tuned for updated information. However, if you would like to schedule an appointment for your pet, please contact them at 508-743-8338.

Thank you to everyone that helped to make our annual Garden Party a success. From the volunteers to the donors and attendees, a good time was had by all.

Did you know that our shelter is not an emergency facility however, we receive many emergency calls from locals and vacationers. We are able to assist them in getting, or directing them to, the help they need.

With the hot summer weather coming be aware of the temperature when thinking of taking your best friend on an outing with you. Hot pavement can burn tender pads and a hot car can become deadly in a matter of minutes.
