Gallery of Waves — pat morss

While we’re waiting for spring foliage and fauna to become more active, here are some favorite Eastern Point storm photographs.

Cape Ann Animal Aid Pets Of The Week

Hello, 

Thanks again so much for helping to get more eyes on these animals!  This week we have a special TRIO (yes that’s right, a bonded trio of cats) who are looking to find their fuuuurever home.  These sweet cats have had a tumultuous past couple weeks and it can be difficult to find bonded pairs a home together let alone three, so this kitty crew could use an extra boost!

Meet Baxter!BreedSiamese/Mix Age6 years 8 months 19 days GenderFemale SizeMedium ColorBrown/Fawn 
Adoption Price$50.00
Meet Higgins!BreedSiamese/Mix Age5 years 8 months 2 days GenderMale SizeLarge ColorGrey/Buff 

Adoption Price   $175.00

and last but not least,

Meet Lady!BreedDomestic Shorthair/Mix Age10 years 7 months 20 days GenderFemale SizeMedium ColorTan/Brown Adoption Price$50.00

Meet Baxter, this girl has the most beautiful eyes and she knows it! Baxter is 6 years old and came to the shelter with her two siblings: Higgins and Lady. Baxter loves to greet people by giving them head butts and loud purrs. She can be a little nervous with new people but she seems to follow what her sister Lady does and follows suit. This gal loves getting her cuddles in with her brother Higgins and will snuggle up to him after they eat breakfast. This trio is looking for a home together. We know it’s not easy taking on 3 cats but we are hoping to find a family who can give these siblings their forever home. If these cuties sound like the match for you, apply online for them today.

A Wink and A Nod From An Eagle

We saw one of our West Gloucester eagle pair recently in a favorite perch. I got the classic “wink and nod” making me feel like one of the crew.
