Every cat/kitten we have gotten in aprox last 20 yrs even got a puppy once Sam, short for Samantha…read more(when she did a bad thing). This is the BEST place to adopt a cat or kitten. When I hear someone mention they are looking a a cat/kitten, I tell them of Another Chance adoption, tell them where they are located. Next time I see the person they say "m Thanks for telling me about Another Chance We got our next family member there" Then they tell others. The cat we have now is 1 of theirs & hope she lives forever, She follows me everywhere, sleeps with me. She is an inside cat only, Hubby built her a cage that she goes in & out thru cat door. That is only time she is out. doesn't try to go out thru kitchen door, she knows she can't go so she will just look. she is the BEST. She is6 yrs old now so she (I hope) has many more to go.

We adopted our kitten from ACAR last June at an adoption event. My husband and I found our kitten…read moreright away based on the knowledge of the staff present at the event. It was very clear that everyone working at the event knew all the kittens and their personalities and had interacted with all of them. We ran into a problem when we brought our kitten home and realized she began sneezing and coughing. She had a serious infection and we had to make several trips to the vet to get her the proper medication, but ACAR paid for all of the medication and vet fees. My advice to anyone considering adoption from this shelter would be to take your new kitten to your own vet before bringing her home and exposing her to other pets/small children. Our kitten is now happy, healthy, and a very important part of our family. We can't imagine our lives without her! An added bonus is that the adoption fee includes spay/neuter for your kitten, as well as all necessary vaccinations!

One of Minnie (who we also got there at the shelter in kennebunk) when I picked Minnie one her name and she wanted attention for loving.) Well Gregory acted the same way so I wanted him To be in our family. The unique thing was that he had the floor and the apt. The shelter at first when I said I wanted him and because he was younger and I am diabetic so they wanted me take home one of the older cats were already declared I promised I would not have him declawed. I also knew it is easier to fit in because they havent gotten in a set way of being. It also easier doer the girls. Took two weeks the girls were they acted normal and not watching them go deeper in depressed. But we are a happy parents of our furry kids

"What greater gift than the love of a cat." ~ Charles Dickens…read more It's not every day a thrift shop greets you with a curious feline stretched out on a bookshelf or peeking from behind a stack of vintage linens. The cats live right in the store, and they're unmistakably the stars of the show. The shop is full of character, with a mix of antiques, secondhand finds, and seasonal surprises. Prices are fair, and the volunteers are warm, helpful, and clearly invested in the mission. Every purchase supports Safe Haven's no-kill shelter work, and that sense of purpose makes the place feel extra special. If you're anywhere near Wells, it's absolutely worth stopping in. You might leave with a vintage lamp, a great book, or just a little more joy than you came in with.

The price seems…read morereasonable, only problem I have with this business is the pick up and drop off times, they are a little limited, but I guess I can understand that, and when we get our dog back she always needs a bath, but I guess that is to be expected being cooped up with all those other dogs.

I attended an event at the Audubon Society in Falmouth a few months ago and the Center for Wildlife…read morewas featured for their wildlife education and rehabilitation work, so we decided to go check it out. It's a really special place--the species there are either in the process of getting medical treatment or have been deemed unsuitable for living in the wild. The welcome center has turtles and snakes and the habitat area outside is for birds, mostly birds of prey. There are some really beautiful owls, falcons, and merlins. When we arrived, they had a turkey vulture out while her habitat was being cleaned and the woman holding her was presenting and answering questions about her. This is an fantastic place to visit; it's possible to see everything at a leisurely pace in under an hour, and it's nice to know that the nominal entrance fee ($10/person) goes toward the excellent rehabilitation and education work happening here.

We arrived at our time and were greeted by wonderful staff members showing us to the community room for a up close and personal presentation. We learned about what the center does and how they help rehabilitate so many animals and take on animal ambassadors that may not be able to go back into the wild. The staff is so passionate and knowledgeable about these animals. We got to meet so many up close, really enjoyed the turtles blossom and lotus the painted turtles. The story on George the turtle that has a fractured shell and missing a front leg. Olive the opossum, Henry the porcupine and violet the turkey vulture! We had time to walk around the nature center to see a few other animals in there habitats before heading out for a private tour of the grounds where other animal are... the grounds are so well taken care of. Lots of signs telling you the details about each animal. Our tour guide stopped by almost every animal to explain who they were, what the ate etc. I loved seeing skeeter the squirrel, super cute and very active. Learned so much from violet the turkey vulture and how important they are to the environment. Visiting the center for wildlife was a great experience, learned so much and have a whole new respect for people that choose to work here.
