Riley

We adopted Riley (Giselle) in September 2017. She adjusted quickly to our home and is now an mischievous, snuggly goofball. She spends most of her time under a blanket on our bed, on top of our kitchen cabinets, or curled up in her hammock by the window. She loves to play, especially with ribbons and jingly balls – we think she may be training for a major-league soccer career! She also loves playing in paper bags, and bubbles. We are so grateful for the Quincy Animal Shelter for introducing us to Riley.

Thaddeus

I just wanted to thank you all for your continued work to make a better life for all the animals you guys see.

My fiance and I adopted Thaddeus in November ’15. He is the most handsome, goofy, lovable guy. Thad has taken over our home and our hearts. We just wanted to give you all an update! He is the best and we are so happy with our experience with QAS. Thank you all again!

— Elizabeth Devine, Dan Shapiro & Thaddeus

Magnus

We adopted Goose (now Magnus) mid February. He was a nervous cat for the first few weeks. His favorite spot was under the bed. He had to wear a shirt for a bit due to overgrooming, but once he was put on a hypoallergenic diet he began to improve. Today he is very talkative. He enjoys a good window, chasing some toys, being pat with a grooming glove, and sleeping in a uhaul box with a blanket instead of the cat bed. We are happy to have him.
