A few weeks ago, we received a phone call from a lady who had just trapped a kitten. When we arrived to get it we noticed that she had an injury to her hind end and to make matters worse she had maggots eating away at her flesh. The kitten was also feral.
Right about now all the Central Aroostook Humane Society board members would be soliciting sponsors, auction items, gathering merchandise, making calls, sending letters and preparing for our biggest fundraiser of the year: the Toast to the Animals.
A local cat rescue organization will continue its mission to provide feline spay or neuter surgery and meet the needs of pet owners in Aroostook County, thanks to $52,000 in grant funding.
Calling all tuxedo cat lovers: Dixie is your chick. This endearing and gorgeous cat has “thumbs” and long whiskers.

This week, Luther lost his battle with cancer. Luther was a beautiful black cat who was feral. The Ark was his home for nine years. Luther came to us from a feral cat colony here in town. His shelter was an old abandoned school bus and his food source was whatever he could find.
There is nothing cuter than a teeny weenie mini pig. Well, I haven’t really seen a mini pig, only regular piglets, which are so cute, too. Would I like to have a little mini pig running around with my dogs? Oh, yes, I would, but if I’m being realistic, I will probably never own one.

One had substantial hair loss, severe dental issues and something called oronasal fistula (he has a hole in his mouth).
It turns out, there’s a pretty good reason cats are obsessed with laser pointers.
