So many of them (sad on the other hand, so many left behind animals) you will certainly find The One (or even two!). PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go and adopt there!!! Find yourself a furry soul mate! Good luck!

A few years ago, we reached out to The Cat Connection about adopting a cat we saw on their website. Within 24 hours, we were personally contacted via phone by Eva Miller (Founder and President) to discuss exactly what we were looking for in a new cat. She set up a meeting with a volunteer, Martha-Ann, so that we could meet a few cats that she was fostering. Although we didn't find a perfect match after our first meeting, The Cat Connection continued to follow up with us with other cats they thought would be a good fit for us. We then visited The Cat Connection's headquarters where we were greeted by volunteers and lots of happy cats. After taking a tour and meeting a few different cats, one cat in particular seemed to take a liking to us, and the rest is history! The Cat Connection is one of the best cat rescues in Massachusetts. I highly recommend reaching out to them to find your next feline family member!

From August to November last year, we had a very positive experience collaborating with another…read morelady (NOT Taline) in this shelter. In December, the shelter's president, Taline, proactively reached out to ask if we could foster a cat again. At first, due to an uncertain schedule, we replied that we couldn't commit yet. About a week later, once our environment was confirmed suitable, we immediately contacted Taline with our availability, preferred cat types, and other preferences. Taline responded promptly, promising to review the list of cats needing help that week and get back to us. Over ten days passed with no response, despite our reminders. Assuming she was busy, we reached out via The Cat Connection's Slack channel under another volunteer applicant's name at the beginning of this week. Taline replied the next day, again promising to schedule a discussion this week. This week almost passed, and despite private messages and follow-ups, she ghosted us again. Six days ago, we posted a follow-up in the channel regarding fostering. Only then did Taline reply, claiming, "This channel is for announcements and statements to all members." This explanation contradicts prior posts by others requesting volunteer or other opportunities. When we asked again about scheduling a discussion, she ghosted once more. It became clear that she was not too busy to respond - she simply chose to ignore us. I guess she thought volunteers in her opinion were just someone to grab when she needed them. We want to stress that as the shelter's president, Taline's commitments carry weight. Repeatedly making promises and disappearing is disrespectful and unprofessional. Others' time and effort are valuable, and communication - whether to express concerns or provide simple updates - is essential. We hope that in her role, Taline can honor her commitments and respect the time and dedication of volunteers, rather than repeatedly making promises she has no intention of keeping.

I so appreciate the care and attention the staff and volunteers invested in the dog I adopted from…read morethe Boston Animal Control and Shelter. Bella the pittie mix was in their care for over a month, during which time they treated the multiple serious conditions this abandoned dog came in with, including surgical treatment for a painful eye infection. When I met Bella at the facility, I got to see her interact with several of the caring staff and volunteers: Bella was obviously very comfortable and attached to them all. It was touching to see each person take a private moment to sit on the floor, pet her and say their personal goodbyes. From the copy of the extensive veterinarian medical records I was given, I can see that Bella's vet care was proactive, thorough, expert, and regular. Perhaps most importantly there was evidence that Dr. Walz sought and valued the insights of the staff and volunteers who provided daily and hourly care to Bella. For example, medication was issued for a finite period based on the observations of the attentive staff (hives with which Bella came into the shelter reappeared after she ate a peanut butter treat, then a few minutes later ate a bee in the play yard). Bella and I have now been together for weeks and I am learning more about her behavioral and trust issues from being abandoned that will take us time to heal with patience and training. Realizing this makes me all the more impressed with how comfortable, safe and happy she demonstrated herself to feel when I observed her in the care of the shelter staff and volunteers.

Dr. Sarah Keyes and Casey were both incredibly kind, calm, and efficient with a cat whose primary coping skill is evaporating when strangers exist. They explained everything, handled him gently, and somehow managed vaccines, nail trim, microchip, and exam in record time with minimal drama from Mikey. Having the visit at home makes a huge difference; no carrier battles, no car ride screaming, and recovery time was basically one offended nap before returning to normal snack demands. If you have a shy, or chaos-prone pet (or you're an anxious pet parent like me), I cannot recommend Dr. Keyes & HomewardVet enough. Professional, compassionate, and stress-reducing for everyone involved. I am very thankful we have them as our Vet team. Thank you so much!!
