"THANKFUL Thursday"
BABBY DADDY here, from the comforts of my new forever home. Hugs and purrs to CAROLYN & HATTIE- Shelter's longest residents. My heart aches for them. But with your help, I know they will find the right forever homes. THANK YOU!

"If it's Saturday it's CATurday!"
OPEN 12-5pm
Hi, we're a couple of dynamic duos. It's the calm before the storm, and we hope you will consider a visit. Duos are great because we keep each other company while you're not home. And, we play well together. Lastly, we're great snugglers.

What more could one ask for during these cold and blustery winter days?!
Thank you,

"THANKFUL Thursday"
TWILA & DELILAH from our new forever home just before Christmas. Very grateful to you all for your help. Our wish this new year, is for more visitors and adoptions at our beloved Shelter. Especially during these very cold days, when so many kitties need loving homes like ours. THANK YOU!

Hi, I'm TASHA, a small adult pup. My former parent had an accident, and can no longer care for me. I'm surrounded by kitties whom I love, but not a fan of other dogs. In search of adult family.
I enjoy walks and play time. But will take your lead when it is time to relax and chill. Please visit, THANK YOU!

Hi All,
Just wanted to THANK YOU for your help finding me a forever HOME. I no longer occupy this cage. Went to my forever home on Sunday.
My paws are crossed for CAROLYN. She is beautiful and often overlooked because of her shyness. I know she will be a devoted kitty in a patient, loving home.
Please help, THANK YOU!

First Saturday of 2025. What better way to start than a visit? The Volunteers think I’m adorable, sweet, and affectionate. Need companionship and LOVE, then I’m the kitty for you! Please visit, thank you.
I’m located along the back wall in the top right cage.
Yours truly,

Just in time for a very cold, Winter's day. Our annual Christmas Blankets arrived yesterday morning. Thank you to https://www.facebook.com/kelly.oddyjanos and her helpers, daughter, Coley (age 7) and son, Camden (age 5).
Merry Christmas,

Happy Winter Solstice and official 1st Day of Winter! After today the days will start getting longer. Something to look forward to.

Our paws are crossed for a "Miracle at 44 Village Street". Perhaps not before Christmas, but maybe before 2025? Our Shelter is open tomorrow, Sunday 12-4pm. And then again next weekend.

I do believe there is a patient (I'm shy), caring person(s) to love and provide companionship. Perhaps with another kitty.

Thank you,
CAROLYN (senior spokesCAT)

"THANKFUL Thursday"
Hello ALL, SEBASTIAN (formerly Rory) from my new forever home.
"He is settling in nicely and love to play with his feather toys and worms. He follows us all over the house and likes to snuggle beside us on the couch." (my Mom)

I know everyone is caught up in the hustle and bustle of the Holidays. If you need to decompress, a visit to the Shelter this weekend might help. There's quite a few kitties and a dog. It's the last weekend they will be open til after Christmas.
THANK YOU for your help!

We're OPEN today, Tuesday 6-8pm. I'm located right behind the desk.
Thanks again to Jess Burton Marblehead Community Access and Media, Inc. and our own Michelle Harling.
Happy Holidays!

"SHELTER Sunday"
Meow, there have been a dearth of applications for us Shelter kitties. We're the newbies, and the cages are filling up.

It's gift giving season, and we think the best gift is unconditional LOVE. That's what we provide, purrs.

Hi ALL: CAT STEVENS from my new forever home. My new family is adjusting to my random jumping into their arms for hugs and kisses. Just wanted to thank everyone for your help.

MEOW, last time I got posted here was with my buddy, GARY COOPER just over a month ago. This is me in action. Still in the first top cage at the entrance. Maybe it's because of school vacation and a lot of people are away. It's tough not to take it personally though. Maybe I will find a forever home by the end of this month.

Happy Father's Day! To current and prospective dads I'm here. It's been almost a year, maybe more than a year since I arrived at the Shelter. Thought a video would help. Would you please help too?

HERMAN

Brought here to the Shelter after being adopted from another Shelter. WHAT! Yeah, I know. Hard to believe. Really miss my former family but they did bring me to this Shelter. And most importantly didn't drop me off at some remote location outside. The volunteers have been cooing about how handsome I look. Please visit. Thank you, HERMAN http://marblehead-animal-shelter.org/herman http://marblehead-animal-shelter.org/adoption-application2015 #Marblehead #Swampscott #NorthshoreMA

Hi Peeps, This is us kittens having fun playing with our foster family. We were very fortunate to hang out with them until we were brought here to the Shelter. You will see a glimpse of our mom at the end. Maybe you can visit to see her and us? Thank you, PRIDE & PREJUDICE MOM & KITTENS http://marblehead-animal-shelter.org/pride-prejudice-mom-kittens http://marblehead-animal-shelter.org/adoption-application2015 The Shelter is always in need of help fostering. Please share if you know of anyone interested in helping. Thanks again!http://marblehead-animal-shelter.org/pdfs/FOMAA-Volunteer-Application.pdf #Marblehead #NorthshoreMA

Hi Peeps, Me, ZAC & ZOEY are getting kind of nervous. There are flyers posted for us. It's almost the end of the month, and we are still looking for a home....meow! Would you please help and share our profiles? Thank you, ZEKE http://marblehead-animal-shelter.org/zeke-zac-and-zoey http://marblehead-animal-shelter.org/adoption-application2015 #Marblehead #NortshoreMA

Hi, I'm ZAC one of the three cats rescued here in the Shelter along with ZEKE & ZOEY. Our profiles are on this month's (October - Fall's FELINES) adoption flyer. CHEECH & CHONG were adopted this past weekend. CHEERS! ZEKE and I were having fun romping around the Shelter this afternoon while ZOEY was sleeping in her cage. She missed out on some fun! The long Holiday weekend is coming up. We hope you have some time to come visit. Thank you, ZAC http://marblehead-animal-shelter.org/zeke-zac-and-zoey http://marblehead-animal-shelter.org/adoption-application2015 #Marblehead #NorthshoreMA

That's one of our amazing volunteer's beautiful baby girl, Penelope in the background here at the Shelter. And I'm ZOEY, one of the three cats along with ZEKE and ZAC who were rescued.
