Wait, my cat can be diabetic? PET BULLETIN‘Mews and Yips’ from the Central Aroostook Humane Society By Amanda McQueen We have some wonderful cats at the Central Aroostook Humane Society and they are all patiently waiting for that perfect family to come through the door and adopt them.
These were ordinary people, some housewives, some professionals, some of meager means, some with a little more ability to offer financial support. They sat down and drafted a set of by-laws, found a family with a barn that was willing to be the “home” for the animals that were lost until the owners came to find them or new homes were found, and thus it began.
With the busy summer travel season upon us, many families are hitting the road with their families – and that of course, means four-legged family members too. According to online pet travel guide TripsWithPets.com, to ensure safe travels for everyone, it’s important to take heed of a very real pet travel safety issue: Pets and distracted driving.
Teach your children well PET BULLETIN‘Mews and Yips’ from the Central Aroostook Humane Society By Gloria J. Towle It is so important for young children to learn about being kind, having empathy and showing compassion for our four-legged friends.
The mudding of the sanctuary walls is nearing completion. The next step is paint. The fencing has been ordered for the cat runs and dogs runs. The cat runs require special fencing so it is quite a bit more than we anticipated the total cost is $5,800.
After the paint comes molding, countertops and cabinets. We have another special project we hope to complete before the opening, but we’ll save that for a surprise on opening day. Once again we are running behind schedule which seems to be par for the course. I just want to assure everyone that we are nearing the finish line so please be patient with us. We will be in the building this year.

Not every story has a happy ending, and as much as we would like to tell you about the success stories, sometimes there is a situation that needs to be shared because someone may need to know. If my kitty got loose and I was desperately searching for her throughout the neighborhood, I would want […]
Great things are happening PET BULLETIN‘Mews and Yips’ from the Central Aroostook Humane Society By Gloria J. Towle Wow….we were recently overwhelmed with some amazing donations that came in from the Pageant Directors of the Aroostook County Summer Queen Pageant. Jasmine DeRier and Ashley Caron Estey are definitely animal lovers and organized a fund drive […]
The Ark receives so many phone calls asking for financial assistance with medical bills for their cats. As much as we would like to help. This is not why we are here. If you own an animal part of your responsibility as a pet owner is to be able to provide vet care for your own personal animals.
We have been asked to pay for cremations, blood work, insulin and various other things. It breaks my heart that pet owners cannot provide this for their own personal animals. Once again I urge everyone to do their homework before they get a pet and make sure they can actually afford them. Medical care is a huge part of owning an animal.
