My personality

My story

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

Mateo has gone from being very scared and hiding in the corner of his cage to being very excited to see me! Mateo came in after being abandoned by his family and cared for as a stray for a year. At first, he may seem to not want to be bothered with and is often seen hiding under the cage in his room, BUT start petting him and his purrs flow from him. Spend enough time with him and he'll run to you, follow you around, and want nothing but all the pets and snuggles he can get! Mateo is 2-3 years old and has gorgeous long hair with a white spot at the end of his tail. He is adjusting well to the kitties in his room, though one can be kind of a bully to him. He is going to be the best cat for a more mellow home and someone who appreciates how amazing he is.
Adoption fee-$125

Due to the strict animal import laws in MA- we cannot adopt to MA residents.

More about this shelter

We're a small shelter in Vermont covering 11 towns in Windsor County. We have a small but very dedicated staff, and an active volunteer program. We have been rescuing cats and dogs since our inception in 1941, when a wonderful woman turned her barn into a shelter. Since then we've grown quite a bit and have recently redone our entire kennel area - we have sun tubes for natural light, radiant heat in the floors, a music program and an aromatherapy program. All through the generous donations of the public. Our cats live comfortably in community cat rooms where they are free to roam and climb and play - one cat room even has a fully fenced outdoor enclosure. We have acres of field for dog walking, and a small agility course set up in an outdoor kennel. We have a large puppy room, and a larger still puppy play area outside.
