Second Chance cats are currently residing in our East Brookfield shelter or in foster homes in South Central Massachusetts. For information on our policies and fees, visit the policies page. If you are interested in adopting one of our lovely cats, please submit an adoption application. Please note that our adoption process is run mostly by our very hard working dedicated volunteers. All adoption applications are processed as quickly as possible. We have this process to ensure that our cats get the best possible home and that we can help you to find your new feline companion. Our love and dedication is to ensure that the cat, and the new loving family, have a lifelong happy match. We are always full to capacity with cats so if we do get multiple applications on a single cat and the cat your interested in gets adopted by someone ahead of you, there are many more needy cats always coming through our doors. We encourage you to submit an application as soon as possible, even if you don't see what you are looking for on our web site, because cats come in daily and your new best friend may walk through the door tomorrow. We hope that you understand how unique and wonderful this process is in doing our very best for our shelter cats. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We want you to have a wonderful new best friend and we will spend the time with the cat, and you to ensure this happy match. Please see our Happy Endings section to see how this wonderful process has made so many lifelong happy endings. Pictures of our adoptable animals can also be viewed at Sturbridge Veterinary Hospital in Sturbridge, Southbridge Vet in Southbridge, and the Sturbridge and Ware Wal-Marts as part of the Very Best Pet Network program. Kittens are born year round. Those at at Second Chance will find loving homes, but many others will not because there are just too many. Second Chance offers low cost spay/neuter programs. Help stop the cycle! Please spay or neuter your cats! Introducing: Cat Chatter!

Name: Duke and Duchess Breed: DSH/Gray and White and Gray Tiger Sex: Neutered Male and Spayed Female Age: Size: Medium Duke and Duchess are two big and beautiful cats who came to the shelter together. They have very nice personalities all their own. Duke is a total softie, just a big teddy bear who loves to be pet and brushed, while Duchess is a little more aloof, but we think she’s just a little stressed not knowing why she’s here and will come around once she’s in the safe surroundings of her new forever home. They would like to stay together, but it is not a necessity, what’s most important is that they both find a home they can feel safe and loved in. We have all fallen in love with these two beauties and just know you’ll do the same. Please stop by and visit, they’ll be glad to see you. This pet comes with 30 days of pre-paid health insurance and has been implanted with a microchip, which includes free microchip registration. Adoption in Progress! Name: Dotty Breed: DSH/Black and White Sex: Spayed Female Age: 5 months Size: Medium Hello, my name is Dotty, I am 5 months old and have been here at the shelter since I was only 8 weeks. All my siblings have found their forever homes and I’m hoping that it will be my turn soon. I know that when I first came here, I was the shy one, and not as outgoing as all my brothers and sisters, but I hear the volunteers say I have come a long way. I love it when they let me out and pay special attention to me. I just can’t get enough of the love and affection they show me, but I know they have a lot of other cats and kittens to care for as well, so a home and people of my very own would be a dream come true to me. I am a very simple lady, and won’t ask for much, just a lap to sit in, and those wonderful loving strokes on my fur. I get along with the others here also so if you already have a cat, I would love to be a little sister. Please come by and see me, I would love to say hi and show you just how sweet I can be. This pet comes with 30 days of pre-paid health insurance and has been implanted with a microchip, which includes free microchip registration. Adopted - Thank You!

She would just love a couch or lap to curl up on, and a loving hand to pat her beautiful fur.

Name: Madison Breed: DLH/Calico Sex: Spayed Female Age: 5 months Size: Medium Hello everyone, I’m Madison. I’m here at Second Chance and I’m not really sure why, but I do like the attention and everyone telling me how beautiful I am. They told me that I will be getting a forever family and that sounds wonderful to me. I am only 5 months old, and still very playful and full of energy. I am a curious kitten as most of us are and I do like the other cats here, they’re all beautiful and have such stories to tell. I know that my story will have a chapter about how this family came in and saw me and just knew that it was ME they wanted to take home and make a part of their family. Although I’m not sure why I’m here, I have adjusted well, and I know I would do the same in my new home. The idea of having a bed to sleep on, toys of my own and space to run will be a dream come true. I hope that you come by soon to meet me, maybe you’re the character in that chapter, you know the one who falls in love with me!! See you soon!!
