Pat will be manning the shop Thursday and Friday. I’ll be introducing Saturday morning for those last minute Valentine’s shoppers and to raise money through the sale of this new item on Saturday to go to the F/V Lily Jean Fund. I can tell you that if you don’t have a present yet, the fleece lined Pom and Beanie caps priced at $25 are the perfect easy gift and if you buy 3 you get one free!

Cape Ann Animal Aid Pet Of The Week

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Meet Pudding! This big guy was picked up as a stray back in 2019, not much is known about his life before that. He was adopted out all those years ago but has made his way back to us, his family loved him but unfortunately Pudding wasn’t too fond of his feline brother and had to come spend some time with us, that is until he found you! Pudding hasn’t spent too much time with us here, and it’s safe to say he isn’t a fan of all the crazy commotion that shelter life brings. Pudding would do best in a quiet home without any other pets. He’s considered special needs because he’s believed to have had a polyp in his ear at some point, which caused him to have a slight head tilt, he also is FIV positive. Interested in having this big guy in your home, please stop on by and see if you have a connection!

Great news! We extended our New Year’s adoption special and waived the adoption fee for Pudding to help him find his forever home soon!
