**ADOPTED**
Oreo was trapped in the 300-block area of Moose Hill Rd after being reported to us as injured by residents in the neighborhood. He was brought to Mt. Pleasant Hospital for Animals where he was treated for an issue with his rear paw pad. His prognosis following treatment is a close to perfect recovery! His “toe beans” are a little roughed-up, but he will be just fine! He’s a sweet, sociable young cat who is hungry for attention and is extremely gentle! Dr. Markette has estimated him to be 1.5-2 years of age. Oreo is a bit of a snob when it comes to his food. He prefers higher quality dry food and likes Sheba-brand wet food. We hear you, Oreo! He’s been vaccinated for rabies and will be available for adoption on 10/19 with a state of Connecticut Animal Population Control Voucher and will be sterilized before going home with his new family. For more information, on adopting Oreo or to request an adoption application please email us at [email protected] or call us at 203-452-3760. We are located at 447 Purdy Hill Rd.

Monroe Animal Control would like to thank and commend Jockey Hollow Middle School student, Camden Whiteman for collecting donations of dog food, cat food and litter for the homeless animals of Monroe and beyond! Camden raised awareness of our local shelter’s needs and collected these items at the September 26th Monroe Farmers Market at the town green.

Camden is a 7th grader who was able to orchestrate this effort independently, on his own merit. He is truly an advocate student, as we understand this takes a tremendous amount of motivation. He’s not yet certain as to what career path he would like to pursue as an adult, but we’re certain he will grow-up to be a greatly contributing member of our community!🐾

❓Have you ever wondered if the cat you see in your neighborhood is a STRAY cat or a FERAL cat?

Being able to distinguish between the two allows you to determine how to best care for that cat.

🐈 A stray cat is typically a cat who lived indoors and/or was socialized to people at some point in its life, but has left or lost its home, or was abandoned, and no longer has regular human contact.

🐈 A feral cat is an unsocialized outdoor cat who has either never had any physical contact with humans, or human contact has diminished over enough time that the cat is no longer accustomed to touch.

🐈 Note that there are semi-feral cats that have both stray and feral characteristics. Semi-feral cats typically trust their caregivers over time but still prefer not to be touched or to live indoors.

‼️ No matter if it's a stray, semi-feral, or feral community cat, please make sure the cat is spayed/neutered and vaccinated so the cat doesn't contribute to the cat overpopulation crisis and to end the suffering.

If you need information about Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR), please see our "How to TNR" information on our website ... https://www.friendsofferalfelines.org/how-to-tnr.

IF there are resources and rescues in your community, finding an indoor home for a friendly community cat is an option.

Feral/unsocialized community cats should be returned to where they were trapped. If resources aren't readily available to find a friendly stray cat an indoor home, return that stray kitty to where they were trapped as well.

**ADOPTED on 10/4/2025**
“Hopper,” a 6 year-old Siberian Husky comes to us from Newtown’s Animal Control Facility and is available for adoption now at Monroe, CT Animal Control! We’re not quite sure how anyone could let this lovely, well-behaved, beautiful, blue-eyed boy go! With his stunning good looks and calm, yet playful demeanor, we think Hopper would be a great fit for any family that already has Husky or Malamute experience. As any typical Husky would, Hopper needs to be groomed quite regularly. He has already been vetted and sterilized, is great with other dogs, has no food or toy-aggression towards handlers, and knows how to sit, stay and kennel-up on command. If you are interested in adopting Hopper, you may request an application by emailing us at [email protected] or call us at 203-452-3760.
