Support Backyard Growers’ work at the 10th annual GrowDown

 ~ backyardgrowersgloucester ~ 

Let’s celebrate another successful season growing food in our community! Join us at Oak to Ember in downtown Gloucester for a farm-fresh dinner, libations, and fun. We’ll be sharing stories of impact to highlight all we’ve achieved together, with a live fund-a-need auction where you can help power our work into 2026 and beyond.

Proceeds from this fun (and delicious!) evening support Backyard Growers’ school and community programs. Backyard Growers has been connecting people and communities with the resources, knowledge, and space they need to grow their own food for 15 years, most recently with the launch of the Backyard Growcery, a new farmers market in downtown Gloucester.

THANK YOU for making an impact. Our work is your work and we couldn’t do it without you.

Cape Ann Animal Aid Pet Of The Week- Wobbles can be met by appointment only!

Allow us to introduce Wobbles, a remarkable young cat who has been diagnosed with a condition resulting in the loss of both hind feet when she was a newborn kitten. Despite this challenge, she has adapted well to her current environment, which includes a heavily padded enclosure furnished with lots of blankets and bedding. To ensure her continued comfort and safety, it will be necessary to provide her with a similarly supportive, soft environment in the future to protect her back legs from potential harm. While the long-term prognosis for her back legs remains uncertain, it is possible that she may eventually require bilateral hindlimb amputations. Nevertheless, Wobbles has demonstrated remarkable resilience and is able to navigate her enclosure with ease, including using her litter box without difficulty. Wobbles, is a lively and spirited companion who enjoys playing in her cat tunnel and relaxing while watching Dog the Bounty Hunter during her downtime. She is always eager to receive affection from her human friends, greeting them with gentle purring and warmth. Wobbles is seeking a home that can meet her specific needs, including padded areas for safe play and the installation of baby gates to prevent her from navigating stairs or jumping from elevated surfaces. She is ready to form a lasting bond with a loving owner and is eager to meet her future family. If you are interested in adopting Wobbles, please complete an online application. A staff member will contact you once your application has been reviewed and approved.
