AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION:

Hello, my name is Brook! I came to the shelter under unusual circumstances. Someone found me running loose, and it was never determined who I belonged to or where I came from. If only I had a voice of my own to tell my story! Wearing nothing but a tight collar and no microchip, I was terrified and found it very hard to trust anyone. With a little love, patience, and time, the ACO’s quickly became my favorite people. I am a bit nervous but with the right person, I would be a great companion. I strongly prefer woman over men. My ideal owner would be a confident woman who likes to enjoy the quiet of nature, away from the hustle and bustle. I like to chase moving cars and will require additional training to help me with this. I’d consider myself to be more of a country girl than a city slicker. I will require several meetings at the shelter before I can confidently move into a home. I’m estimated to be around 4 or 5 years old, spayed, up to date on all my vaccines, and microchipped. Find me on Petfinder or Facebook to apply for me!

LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME! (Not at the shelter currently)

Hello, I'm Keanu. I'm an 8 year old, neutered male looking for a new home. My family can no longer care for me due to medical issues and the shelter is very full right now. I'm not much of a lap cat, pretty independent and keep to myself but I'd love to cuddle up on your couch and watch TV with you! Please email my parents at [email protected] to get some more information on me! Thanks for looking!

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION:

Hi! My name is Loki, AKA Low Key because I'm a laid-back dude. I am very affectionate and enjoy hanging out with humans. I get along with cats who are confident, and I get along really well with dogs. I think I might be a dog, trapped in a cats body. My hobbies are eating (I could lose a few pounds), napping, claiming your favorite chair, and licking arm pits! I am up to date on all my vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. If you think we could be best buds, find me on Petfinder or fill out an application from our page. Thanks!

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.
