Found this little painted turtle in our dog play yard this morning. Did you know painted turtles are one of the most wide spread native turtles in North America? They can be seen in every state from coast to coast, to southern Canada and Northern Mexico! See ya later little buddy!

Do you know me?

Presumably female brown/grey tabby has been seen wondering the West St/Lake St area for roughly a month. Good Samaritan was able to capture the cat and bring her to Animal Control. No microchip, no collar. Previously posted from a resident on the All Things Kingston page as well. Any information, please contact the Kingston Animal Shelter 781-585-0529 where she is being safely held. Thank you.

About Us

Kingston Animal Shelter provides temporary housing for lost, stray, or abandoned cats and dogs in our community until they find their way home by reuniting with their owners or adoption! The shelter is given a small operating budget from the town for heat and electricity but all other care is possible through donations and volunteering. The whole shelter, our Wet Nose Pet Food Bank, and the animals that stay inside depend on donations for food, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, cat litter, vet care, etc. along with the time and tender care of hardworking volunteers for survival. The shelter has received countless donations from the community, which is how we are able to save the helpless pets we house. The shelter animals are so grateful for the generosity that the Town of Kingston’s community continues to show them! The Kingston Animal Control team works out of the Kingston Animal Shelter and includes two part-time Animal Control Officers: Joanna “Jo” Boudreau and Meghan E. Wrightington. The Town of Kingston also has the Animal Inspector: Debra J. Mueller who handles barn inspections and animal quarantines. The shelter and animal care is also maintained by so many wonderful volunteers, for without their dedication, the shelter would not be so accommodating.
