Meet Pippa!

Pippa is an inquisitive, short-haired, 5 month old kitten with love to share. This active girl has lived with and enjoyed the antics of other young kitties. She will jump on a friendly lap and purr if given an opportunity or invitation. Being curious, she enjoys playing with her various toys, chasing a laser pointer, and watches then drinks form running water. Then she’ll find a high spot to nap.

This gentle girl would make a great family pet with school aged children.

Pippa has been tested negative for diseases, spayed, & up to date on shots. For more information, contact Cheryl at: cmezack@aol.com.

Say hello to Violet!

Violet is a sweet, gentle, and beautiful little cat. Upon her arrival to her foster home, Violet was very shy, preferring to stay hidden until she felt comfortable in her space. When she started feeling at home, Violet began spending her days splooting on living room furniture and taking naps in cozy little nooks. Violet is quite independent, preferring to do her own thing on her own time. She may appear to be aloof but when offered cuddles or pets, she readily accepts with lots of purrs. Violet can be easily picked up, nuzzled, and quickly fall asleep in your arms. At this time, Violet’s favorite snack is still a mystery. Maybe this is something her new family can discover together!

While in her foster home, Violet has been able to see other cats in the home. However, she has indicated she is too scared and not interested in getting to know them. It’s likely that Violet will have to be the only kitty in the home. At this time, it’s unknown if Violet has engaged with dogs or children.

Violet is a 1-2 year old spayed female cat with up to date shots. If you’re interested in Violet then fill out an online application at https://melrosehumanesociety.org/adopt

Meet Peanut and Butter!

Peanut and his brother Butter were recently surrendered. Their owners decided one day they didn’t want them anymore. These two are love bugs and have only been in foster care for a short time, and we are still learning their personalities. In the meantime, they are comfortable enough to be adopted into a real, forever home they deserve.

We know that Peanut loves to be held and carried around. At the same time, his brother may be a little reserved. Both are affectionate and love being petted. They will need a little time to adjust. With time, patience, and love, they will come out of their shells and show just how special they are. Peanut and Butter will thrive in a home as the only pets. In the right environment, they will be an incredibly rewarding and loving bonded pair. We know they are.

Peanut and Butter are 1.-2 years old neutered male cats with up to date shots. Email Adenisejaskiewicz@gmail.com or fill out an online application at https://melrosehumanesociety.org/adopt

Meet Iris, formerly known as Violet! She was Hannah’s first cat (after getting to know her sister’s Melrose Humane Alum, Linus, formerly Sacramento).

Hannah shared with us, “It took only 24 hours for her to become the snuggle bug she is today. She loves nothing more than snuggling, playing fetch with her Pom Poms, eating greenies and churu, getting all the pets, and chatting up a storm with anyone who will listen. Shes a big purrer who loves meeting new people and getting attention. She’s my perfect void and I’m so glad I decided to adopt her, I don’t know how I lived without her!”

Thanks, for sharing, we are so happy for you and Iris!

If you and your MHS companion have a you’d like to share, we’d love to hear it 🥰

Meet Cranberry!

Cranberry is a loving and playful kitten with a penchant for parkour. Her tiny adorable meows and loud purr will steal your heart immediately. She loves to make biscuits on your lap but may sprint away into a zoomie at any moment. She enjoys playing with toys and the laser pointer. She plays well independently and with other cats and respects their boundaries. Cranberry is neutral with dogs. She isn’t scared but doesn’t try to play with them either. She has only been around large dogs. She’s a sweet and adventurous kitten who would do great with kids, other cats, and dogs.

Cranberry is a 8-9 month old spayed female kitten with up to date shots. If you’re interested in Cranberry then please fill out an online application at https://melrosehumanesociety.org/adopt
