Here you can view some of the cats up for adoption at the Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society this week.
This page was last changed on September 7, 2008. Although we update our website regularly, animals go home with new families every day - and new arrivals may arrive daily as well. For the most up-to-date information on which animals are available, call us at (413) 548-9898 or stop by anytime during our open hours.
Thinking
of adopting? Please consult our Adoption Program FAQ.
All adoptions are now handled exclusively at our Leverett Adoption Center

We will have many young kittens from now until November. Most of our babies are adopted within a few days of arriving at the Humane Society and so they never appear on the website. If you're looking for a young kitten, come on by to visit and see all our young charmers! If you're looking for a particular color, please give us a call on the day you plan to visit and we'll let you know who is available that day.
Don't forget, we have lots of lovely adults and occasional adolescents year-round. With an adolescent or adult cat, you can see the kind of personality that you'll be getting (which is always a mystery with a kitten) - and they're past the up-all-night and running-straight-up-the-walls phase. If you want to be sure of the personality you'll end up with (independent, cuddly, boisterous, calm), or would prefer not to go through the "all your stuff is fair game and I have more energy than I know what to do with" phase, a cat over 9 months of age is the way to go.
PLEASE NOTE: if you live more than an hour away from our shelter, we welcome your visit! Any pet you adopt must be spayed or neutered prior to adoption, because veterinarians in your area will not accept our spay/neuter vouchers. You may want to call us to see if there is a spayed/neutered pet you are interested in before traveling to visit - or, search www.petfinder.com for a shelter closer to home.

The pictures above are DPVHS graduates. Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society currently has lots and lots of kittens available for adoption. The kittens below are just a small sample of the kittens here at the shelter.
| Name: Addio | Sex: Spayed Female | ||
| Breed: Domestic Short Hair | Color: White/Black | ||
| Age: 1.5 years | |||
|
I am a gorgeous girl that is waiting patiently for a new home. I would like to find a quiet household with my own family. I don稚 like a large crowd. I do like to talk if you talk to me. If your upset, I will do anything to cheer you up. | ![]() |

| Name: Tank | Sex: Neutered Male | ||
| Breed: Domestic Longhair | Color: Grey/White Tiger | ||
| Age: 1 year | |||
|
I am a loving boy that loves belly rubs. My life has been a little hard recently--I broke my tail (ouch!!!) and it had to be amputated. I was feeling better after that healed, but then my family moved and couldn't take me, and as you can imagine, that gave me a bit of the blues. I think I will feel so much happier once I find a new family to love me. I have a heart of gold, and I just need to belong somewhere. Are you ready to love me for the rest of my life? | ![]()

| Name: Sweetie | Sex: Spayed Female | ||
| Breed: Domestic Medium Hair | Color: Black | ||
| Age: 2 years | |||
|
I think my name should give you a clue about my personality. Maybe if you come to visit me and pet me a little, and that should give you an even better idea what I am like. Or you can ask the people who found me as a stray, and they might tell you that I just want to be loved, or my friends at the shelter who will tell you about my good-natured personality, day after day. But somehow, I am pretty sure that if you get to know me at all, you will see that I really am a sweetie. Maybe you will want me to be yours? | ![]() |

Barn Cats available- Sometimes we have cats who are not suitable to live as house pets. They may have poor litterbox habits, or they may have had such bad experiences with people that they prefer the company of other animals. If you have a barn or other building, and can provide shelter, food & water, and other basic needs - there are cats who need you. The cats will help with rodent control, and you will save a life! See our Barn Cat Program page for more information.
