Marco, adoptable from Upper Valley Humane Society
“Hi there! I’m Marco, and I’m 3 years old. I am a chatty guy who enjoys the presence of human friends. I love to explore, and I’m quite fond of treats.
“I have feline asthma, so I’m currently taking medication and using a specific litter. Don’t let that scare you off — I am one of the coolest cats you’ll ever meet and I’m sure to entertain you. I don’t get along with other felines, so I’ll need to be your only one. I’m all the cat you’ll need, trust me! Ready to add a quirky guy to your family? Come in and meet me!”
Marco is up for adoption from the Upper Valley Humane Society, located at 300 Old Route 10 in Enfield and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. The Upper Valley Humane Society is also on Facebook and Instagram and can be reached at 603-448-6888.
Bailey, adoptable from Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society
“Hi! My name’s Bailey and I’m a 6-year-old spayed female mixed breed. I’m a big beautiful girl that is very big on love! I came to Lucy Mackenzie when my dad died. I was lost without him at first, but then I made lots of new friends. Making new friends is one of my most favorite things.
“Since I’ve been here, lots of good things have happened. I’ve always had really red itchy skin, but not anymore. In my former life, I really loved human food … like really, really loved it. I can’t have it anymore, because it makes me feel horrible. I also eat a special hypoallergenic food that has made such a difference.
“In my new home, I would like very comfy beds, a nice fenced-in area I can play in and people that will make sure I lead a healthy life. My new home would have no cats or small dogs. I could probably live with another larger dog, as long as we got along.
“I’m a fun-loving girl that promises to bring lots of smiles and laughs to my new family. If you think we’d be a good match, stop in and meet me today!”
Bailey is up for adoption from Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society, located at 4832 Route 44 in West Windsor and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 12-4 p.m. Lucy Mackenzie is also on Facebook and Twitter and can be reached at 802-484-5829.
Chanel, adoptable from Sullivan County Humane Society
“I am 5-year-old Chanel. I was a stray that a nice woman was feeding. She hated to see me live my life as a stray cat but, sadly, could not bring me in because her dogs did not like me. So, she brought me here and now I have a chance at my very own family!
“I am vet checked, spayed, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped and FIV/FeLV negative.”
Chanel is up for adoption from Sullivan County Humane Society, located at 145 Broad St. in Claremont. Please see hours on the humane society website at www.sullivancountyhumanesociety.org and Facebook. Call 603-542-3277 or email sullivanhumane@hotmail.com.
