What else do you have to do? Take down the tree or store the menorah?

Might as well dance or relax!

Current Nia Routine: Pink Martini

Join us as we dance to the music of the incredible band, Pink Martini. I got the bug to do this routine, last done in Nov.2020, after watching the Pink Martini Holiday concert last week. Different genres, different languages, very eclectic music.

I think this is side savassana???

In this crazy season, treat yourself to an hour of peace, relaxation and restoration. Lovely passive practice aimed at quieting the nervous system, mind and body.

Find some cushions, large books, yoga blocks, blankets, whatever you can use instead of bolsters and blocks. We make it work. For more information on Restorative yoga, check…

Mews and Pupdates | December 2021

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
Happy tails to 146 newly united pets and families in November! Nala was just one of many animals who found their home in December. Nala is a 10-year-old senior gal who spent a couple of months at the shelter waiting on a home. Nala’s new family writes “She will explore, spend time with us and then when tired nap under the bed… for the first time she slept out in the open on the bed in her room (the bedroom door was open). While cautious, she has been sociable, seems happy to be here, and alert and interested in what she is experiencing.” We are so thankful to families like Nala’s who give senior cats a second chance!
THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING 2021!

2021 was full of challenges and changes, and we are finishing out the year with nothing but gratitude for all of our adopters, donors, and community. We have seen not only happy faces (masked and not!), but so much grace and understanding through a tumultuous year full of unknowns. THANK YOU from all of us at Cape Ann Animal Aid!

Huggie has quite an appropriate name, as she is a total love bug that enjoys jumping up and giving big hugs. We think this sweet lady may have some Great Dane in her mix, and at about 11 months old she is weighing in at 58 pounds. Huggie is incredibly sweet and social, and is looking for a home with older children that she can’t accidentally knock over!
Meet Huggie

Bunny was surrendered to a rural shelter in Georgia as her owner could no longer take care of her. Super sweet and social, this little lady loves attention! If you are looking for an older cat that has outgrown the crazy kitten antics then she is the kitty for you! Bunny has lived with other kitties and would not mind being part of a multi-cat household.

Meet Bunny

Thank you from over 1,500 animals that you helped us unite with their new families. Every animal that has gone through our doors and on to their new lives is now warm and loved this holiday season, thanks to you. Please help us continue to save more lives in 2022 by giving today!

Cooper’s Hawk on Rocky Neck

Posted on by Pat D

We visited our friend Bex recently and she reported there’s a Cooper’s Hawk hanging around in her neighborhood and she commented on its distinctive call. About a half hour later, we heard an unusual bird call on Rocky Neck and tracked it down to this Cooper’s Hawk. I don’t know what their range is (I am a mere Bird Nerd and not an actual birder) but it seems possible this is the same hawk as reported by Bex. I am including a clip of the call. in case you are interested.
