This week’s adoption news is that Chip the kitten has found her forever home. Congratulations Chip. But her 10-week-old sister Judy is in need of her own family. Judy is a tuxedo and was the runt of the litter. She is a sweet girl, fun and just adorable. Come and see for yourself.

Our pet of the week is Nellie, a beautiful 13-year-old, medium hair, torbi cat. Nellie came to us shy and fearful but has been making great progress lately. She comes out more frequently and is allowing a few people to pet her, and she even sits with them on the sofa. She has a very sweet nature and we expect that she will blossom once she finds her person and goes to a home where she feels comfortable.

Also available is LoLo, a lovely 16-year-old, long-haired, black and white cat. This girl is very friendly with a lovely disposition. She would be a wonderful addition to any home so please someone, come and give her one.

And for the Guinea pig lovers we have a mother/daughter pair in need of a home(s). Both are Abyssinian with calico coloring. Moana, the mother, is three years old, and her daughter Chip is two. Both are hand-raised and very friendly.

The next nail clinic is Saturday, Dec. 7 from 10 a.m. until noon — walk-ins only, $20 cash or check. Dogs must be leashed and cats, rabbits and Guinea pigs need to be in carriers.

The Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard is here for our community. We’re always available and our door is always open should your adoption not be a perfect fit.
