Cat Adoption

Saturday May 10, 2008

Your NH Humane Society has now made it even easier for you to make a tax-deductible donation to all the animals who come to stay with us each and every day of the year. Please visit the logo at right and see how easy it can be to help the critters!   

Or to make a donation by mail or fax please click here.

 

 

People have personalities and cats have feline-alities! The New Hampshire Humane Society has recently expanded their Meet Your Match (MYM) adoption program and is excited to add the Feline-ality program. Meet Your Match aims to match you with the cat that's right for you and your lifestyle and personality, helping create a lifelong bond between for you and your feline friend.

 

Each animal is placed into one of three color-coded categories: easy maintenance (purple), average maintenance (orange), and high maintenance (green). Within  each color category are three descriptions to help you better understand the animal.

Please note that cats under 9 months of age are not evaluated with this program. 

The Nine Feline-alities

Love Bug
Do you seek affection? I do! If you also like petting, purrs, and paws kneading your lap, I think we might have a LOT in common. I'm looking for "someone who enjoys quiet times and togetherness." Could that someone be you?

Secret Admirer
When it comes to relationships, I'm very level-headed. I don't leap in paws first, if you know what I mean. But give me a little time, and then I'll shower you with purrs, head-butts, and plenty of lap time. In the meantime, you may not see a lot of me - but I'll be thinking of you!

Private Investigator
I'm working undercover to keep an eye on you and your household. You may not even know you're under surveillance. I can vanish into think air if anyone or anything interferes with my investigation. If you need a cat who knows how to stay our of trouble and will always keep your secrets, I just might take your case.

Personal Assistant
You're working on the computer? Let me press the keys. Reading the paper? I'll hold the pages down for you. Watching TV? I'll just plop on your lap so you can pet me. I love an orderly household, don't you? I'll help you with all your chores, and I'll help you relax when we're done. You'll wonder how you ever managed without me.

Side Kick
Like all sidekicks, I'm just plain good company. I like attention, and I also like my solitude. I don't go looking for trouble but I'm no scaredy-cat either. If you are looking for a steady companion to travel with you on the road of life, look no further.

The Executive
I have to say, I'm a busy cat. First, I've got to check out what's happening out the window. Next, I'll see if any closets or cupboards need looking into. And then there are my naps - can't be late for those. I can fit a little socializing into my schedule. Shall we plan on breakfast and dinner? I hope you like kibbles.

 

The Leader of the Band
I'm a cat who does everything in a big way. I not only like to be in the middle of things - I like to lead the parade. I'm an adventurous cat, but I'll still make plenty of time to show you my affectionate side. I'm the demonstrative type, you might say. Want a cat who's brimming with confidence? That's me

 Party Animal
I'm a cat on a mission: PARTY! I love to play and explore and test my limits. I'd love to play with you, but I can make a toy out of anything: pencils, post-it notes, potatoes. If you're looking for some laughs and someone to liven up the party, think about inviting me.

 M V P
I'm a savvy cat who knows the score. I'm pretty unflappable, too. I don't mind entertaining myself, but a human companion at the other end of the couch and a nice scratch behind the ears always make my day. If you're looking for a resourceful addition to your team, think about signing this Most Valuable Pussycat

Kittens Available!!

 

**Kittens pictured are not necessarily available**

Mittens is a 9 year old spayed female.

 

 

This shy girl isn't sure why she ended up here. She supposedly was not getting along with the new animal additions to her home. But with a sweet personality like hers we have to wonder if they weren't getting along with her. Too often older animals are giving up when newer, younger ones are brought into the house. Please show Mittens that age is only a number, and that she still deserves to be loved.

Rascal was adopted only to be brought back because her owner could no longer keep her. Originally brought to us when her owner died, this cat has known a lot of heartache. The shelter is not her favorite place to be, she would much rather be spending her days in a home, where she will be sure to greet you at the door when you arrive home from a long day.
