overlooked pets

Join Cape Ann Animal Aid on every 3rd Thursday of the month for an Overlooked Pets Adoption Day!

Most of these animals have what some may call “imperfections” such as medical or physical challenges and others possess less popular qualities like cats or big dogs with black fur, are older in age, or need additional behavioral training.

In celebration of these special animals and in an effort help them find their forever home; Cape Ann Animal Aid is reducing the adoption fee for select dogs and cats on these days. Adoptions will be completed on a first come, first serve basis and all regular adoption requirements apply. Photos and adoption fees for the select overlooked pets will be posted on this page prior to the 3rd Thursday of every month (usually on the 3rd Monday of every month).

NAME: DARBY
AGE:
8 MONTHS
PRICE: $75.00
(Normally $325.00)

ABOUT US: Meet Darby, a boxer/shepherd mixed breed puppy, who is playful, affectionate and super excited about finding a family of her own. When Darby first arrived at our shelter, the veterinarians we work with, discovered she had an irregular heartbeat called premature ventricular contractions. After some consultation with specialists, EKG's and an echo-cardiogram Darby was put on a few different medications until we found the right medication and dose to help keep her heart beat more regular. Darby's heart condition means that she will most likely have a shortened lifespan but because none of us can tell the future and she is a positive sort of gal she lives each day happy with a "can do" attitude! Darby is looking for a family who understands that the only guarantee is that she will adore them more each day. Darby's heart condition means she will need more than the average pooch when it comes to veterinary care. In addition to a yearly exam her veterinarian may want to do an EKG to make sure her medication is working well or some other testing to make sure her heart is working as well as it can, so her new family needs to be prepared for some extra vetting. Darby's current medicine, Mexiltine 250mg (that she takes 3 times a day) costs about $52.00 a month, which breaks down to less than $1.80 a day, less than most of us spend on our morning cup of joe'. If you are willing to cut down on your caffeine to fit this gal into your budget she promises to make up for it in puppy kisses!
 

NAME: MILO & OTIS
AGE:
6 MONTHS
PRICE: $125.00 FOR BOTH
(Normally $250.00)


ABOUT US:Sweet and shy, cute but calm, that's us, Milo & Otis. We are both very cautious and although I came from a home full of people and other animals we take some time to adjust. We are really sweet little kittens, just nervous in new situations. We are both looking for our furever homes.We would like someplace with other cats, so we can bond with a friend who can teach us the ins and outs and make us feel more comfortable. We are both sweet little guys, who love to snuggle and cuddle! If you think you'd like a sweet sensitive pair and have room in your home and heart for two, stop on by and visit!



 

NAME:
HADLEY
AGE: 3 YRS
PRICE: $50.00
( Normally $100.00)
ABOUT ME: Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the cutes cat of all... why you don't say, me! That's right, my name's Hadley and I'm just the cutest little orange tiger mix you'll ever meet. At least I think so! My favorite thing to do is get my beauty rest, followed by a quick nap and then lots and lots of attention by one of my admirers! The thing is I'm looking for my furever home, that'll be the place where I can really fit in, find someone to admire me and snuggle with me. I like to play as well, soft fuzzy catnip toys are my favorite, I love to roll around on the ground with them. If you think I might be the right girl for you stop on by and give me some visit!
 

NAME:
ROSIE
AGE: 1 YR 5 MTHS
PRICE: $50.00
( Normally $100.00)
ABOUT ME: A bit adventurous, a dash mischievous and a whole lot of cute, that's the recipe for the perfect cat. At least I think so, my name is Rosie, and I'm a sweet and loving girl. I'm not much of a snuggler, more of the playful type. Be it toys, paper or even the occasional office item I'm totally in for a good play session. So if you think I might be the right playmate for you stop on by and visit me!
 
NAME: VICTORIA
AGE: 1 YR 5 MTHS
PRICE: $25.00
( Normally $100.00)
ABOUT ME: Psssst. Hey You, yeah You, over here. Hi there, my name's Victoria. I'm a bit of a shy girl here at the shelter. I guess it's the hectic pace of shelter life. You know, all these other cats roaming around, all these people in and out passing by my cage. I'm just a quiet little girl who wants a quite place to sleep and curl up. I spent some time at a foster home, just so the people here could find out what I was like out of the shelter. My foster mom says I'm a very sweet little girl, just a typical shy cat. Once I got to know her I would come when called and I even rubbed up against her legs. I love to have me ears and head scratched. I'm not a big fan of dogs or other cats, I'm hoping to find a home where I'm an only kitty. So if you think you might have the space in your home and heart for a sweet shy little girl like me, stop by and visit. I'll try my best to put on my happy face here at the shelter, but just remember it's in a home that my personality really shines!
 

NAME:
O'KEEFE
AGE: 5 MTHS
PRICE: $75.00
( Normally $125.00)
ABOUT ME: This little girl has everything going for her! She's soft and fuzzy, cute and cuddly, and adorable too! O'Keefe is a little on the shy side, so she'll need a little extra love and understanding while she adjusts to her new furever home. But once she does she'll be your best buddy. But don't think she's a couch potato! O'Keefe has been known to romp and play with the best of them. So if you think this fuzzy little girl is right for you stop on by and visit! Before making the trip to visit we strongly recommend checking our website for information on adoption policies and procedures. Pets can be adopted quickly, and although we update our pet list daily the puppy or kitten you see on our website before you leave may be adopted by the time you arrive.
 

NAME: MONET
AGE: 1 YEAR 3 MTHS
PRICE: $50.00
( Normally $100.00)

ABOUT ME: My name is Monet, like the famous painter and I am super sweet girl. I am all done being a mom and would love a little pampering of my own. I am just looking for a Sunny spot to lie my head. I am very playful and affectionate just waiting to meet my new family today!
