Malden Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Jane And Julie, Alex, Li & More

Looking to add to your family and do something good for the Malden community at the same time? Maybe it’s the right time to adopt a pet! During the coronavirus pandemic, facilities in the Malden area have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.

In the search for your new family pet, consider looking around at a local adoption center like Kitty Connection Inc, where Oreo the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren’t sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes.

If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Jane and Julie, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
