My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

First prize winner of the biggest head in the building, Mojito is a 5 year old neutered male who came into us as a stray. Mojito is a nervous, reserved cat who has been slow to adjust and likes having his hiding spots, but with time he's grown more and more comfortable with us throughout his time at the shelter. He enjoys having his head and chin gently scratched so long as you approach him quietly and don't loom over him too much, as he can be a bit defensive if he feels cornered. He's a sweet boy who'll just need a bit of time and patience to get comfortable in a new home before he can fully open up. Mojito is blind in one eye due to an injury he had before coming to the shelter which has since healed and is no longer hurting him.

For more information on Mojito, call AWS at 860-354-1350 email animalwelfare.socty@snet.net or visit our website aws-shelter.org for an application Adoption Fees for Senior cats (8yrs and up) is $50 Adult Cats $200 and Kittens under a year $250.

More about this shelter

Animal Welfare Society, Inc. is an independent, non-profit, non-destroy organization founded in 1965.

Our Mission is to aid and find loving, permanent homes for abandoned, stray, and abused cats and dogs in New Milford, Bridgewater, Brookfield, Roxbury, and Washington, Connecticut.

Each year hundreds of dogs and cats find refuge at our shelter located at 8 Dodd Road in New Milford, Connecticut. Abandoned dogs are rescued from the Regional Canine Facility in New Milford after the mandatory 7-day waiting period. AWS also makes periodic trips to New York City's overpopulated dog pounds and brings their animals to our shelter for placement. Our cats are found abandoned in the areas we serve.

From the moment these animals enter the shelter, they are no longer unwanted. Each is a special pet waiting for a caring, responsible, permanent home.
