Animal Protection Center of Southeastern Massachusetts

Our sweet boy Grey is going on his seventh month here at the shelter 💔 He is beyond ready to find his home. Grey is 5.5 years old and is a gentle soul. He is very shy and takes some time to warm up, but once he does you'll find his companionship is worth the wait! Grey is a big time biscuit-maker, and gets his paws to work kneading, purring and drooling of happiness when he is with his favorite people. He requires a more quiet home without too much commotion. Grey is FIV+ but is quite robust, not having a single health issue during his entire stay with us. He seems to enjoy the company of other friendly cats, and has been very into small stuffed toys lately. If Grey sounds like the perfect fit for you, inquire by filling out a cat adoption application at www.apcsm.org/cat-adoption-application

☀️ It’s a Cat Summer and from August 27-30, the APCSM is partnering with local shelters to waive the adoption fees of harder-to-place cats. Because of their specific needs and characteristics, many of these cats have been waiting at the shelter for months. Please considering opening your home and heart to a cat in need. 💜

🐱What Makes a Cat “Harder-to-Place?”
Some cats at our shelter stay longer simply because they have special needs. They might be on a specific diet, need to be the only pet, or take a bit longer to warm up to people. Others are older, or part of a bonded pair that must be adopted together. Whatever the reason, these unique cats are waiting for a loving home with someone who understands their quirks. Could that be you?

Also participating in this event are Dakin Humane Society, Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center, MSPCA-Angell, Baypath Humane Society of Hopkinton, Inc., Lowell Humane Society, Worcester Animal Rescue League, and Berkshire Humane Society

UPDATE: we are full with vendors! Thanks everyone!
We are seeking a few vendors for our Fall Friends Fair on Sat. Oct 12, 2024 from 12-4pm at our shelter in Brockton MA. Specifically looking for crafters and artisans, food (baked goods, snacks, etc.), and pet themed booths. Vendors are given a 10x10 space - must provide own tent/chairs. Rain or shine. $50 fee, $25 for nonprofits.
This event usually brings a good crowd and is dog-friendly and family-friendly!
To inquire, please email our event committee at [email protected]
