Wellesley Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Farrah And Felicity Kitten Pair, Siffy & More
Want to add a new member to your family and give back to the Wellesley community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! During the COVID-19 pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions.
Across Massachusetts, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many of them are located not too far from you. In the search for an adorable new fur child, consider looking around at a local facility like Ellen M Gifford Sheltering Home, where Floradora 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.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you’re a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
