Hello! My name is Peep, a suiting name for a delicate little girl like me. I was found by one of the SPCA staff members when I started hiding under their shed during winter storms. She set up an feral box for me so I could have some safety, and I started hanging around every day for the next three weeks while she tried to find an owner for me. I was so scared, and I would only come out of hiding at night when no one was looking, but I got my name because when I thought she couldn't see me, I would press my nose up to the window and stare inside to watch her cats. They looked so happy and content, and I wanted to be with them! Eventually I was caught and brought to the SPCA, and I've been spayed and treated for worms and brought up-to-date on my shots since then. My ears were full of yuck too, so they cleaned those up for me. I feel much better, and I am so much happier. It turns out my name is extra suiting because my meows are like little peeps. I happily chirp to greet my caretakers every day, and love making biscuits. I seem to be curious about other cats, and have not been reactive to dogs going through the shelter so far. I'm a very calm girl once I get to settle in, so I would be a purrfect fit for all kinds of homes. Come meet me at the SPCA of Hancock County at 141 Bar Harbor Rd, Trenton, ME 04605! Please note that right now, to keep all the humans that care for me safe, visits are by appointment only. So fill out an application on me and they can schedule a meet-and-greet at your convenience. I hope we're a pawfect fit! And if we're not, you might meet your next pet while visiting me, so it's worth it to fill out that application! If you aren't in a position to adopt right now, you can still support me through our Pet Pal program. Monthly givers in our Pet Pal program get letters, photos, and more directly from us animals - you can even mention you want to hear directly from me. Join today! show less

I was found as a stray in Maryland, but it's easy to see that I have been well-fed and love people.  I am very calm and sweet, as you can tell from my picture!  The animal care manager thinks I am PURR-FECT. I am totally unfazed when other kitties growl at me, and I likely would be a wonderful family cat, as long as the children remain gentle.  I find dogs distasteful in general, but if your dog is polite I can co-exist. I have diabetes, which is managed with insulin. The shelter staff here are more than willing to show you how to give me this insulin. I don't like the insulin very much, but because I'm such a good girl, I behave well for it - I just try to hide a little when I know it is time for the poke. Having diabetes does mean I should be an indoor-only kitty, because I need insulin after I eat food and you don't know what I might get into if I am allowed to roam. Also I cannot be allowed to free feed on food. If my future family already has kitties, this can be solved by offering small portions to us kitties throughout the day and taking away the food after mealtimes. Or you can invest in a microchip scanning feeder, like the SureFeed Microchip feeder, and have one programmed to each kitty so we can't get into each other's food. Plenty of options! The final thing you should know about me? I am a happy drooler. Like when I am totally content and blissfully purring on you, I will drool away. This may be due to the fact I have a need for ongoing dental work and maintenance. Or maybe I just have a lot of saliva. Whatever the case, I would love to meet you and spend some time snuggling and hanging out. show less

Oh my, oh my. I'm Clover, and I'm an extremely sweet dog - the sweetest - but I'm so scared and just absolutely craving routine and stability. I would love to stick in one spot with the same people. I am much more of a snuggler and stay-at-home girl than the sort who wants to run around and get energy out. I was absolutely PETRIFIED when I came to the SPCA of Hancock County, but through my fear, the staff could see there was a warm, kind-hearted pup waiting to emerge. While I still shrink back and cower when approached sometimes, I greet the familiar faces with big, broad tail wags and a happy dance of excitement. So although it may take me a bit to trust new people, my curiosity can outweigh my fear. Once I'm comfortable with you, I'm unabashedly playful with humans and other dogs. I REALLY love other dogs, sometimes too much so. I have a tendency to get right up in their face, so while I think I'm being friendly, I'm not always the right fit for homes with dogs that want more of this thing called "personal space". I am a major leaner and hugger, so my humans should be prepared for a big lap dog. Another thing about me is I love children! I can be very gentle with small children too. I'm not sure how I am with cats - they are still pretty new to me, and judging by my impaired dog social skills, I might not know how to properly socialize with a cat. But a dog-savvy cat might be a pawfect friend for me, as long as they don't mind extra kisses and attention. Do you think your family has room for a big baby that just wants loads of love and stability? show less
