The Metrowest Animal Awareness Society Has the Purr-fect Cat For You

There are currently 70 cats waiting to be adopted in the Marlborough area.

The Metrowest Animal Awareness Society is in possession of 70 cats which have been rescued in the Marlborough area. Dispersed among 15 local homes, these felines are looking for families to call their own. Some have been found wandering the streets, some have been rescued from hoarding situations and a litter was discovered at the transfer station— but all have one thing in common—  they all need loving homes. 

Meet some of the cats:

1. Auntie Mama, a brown Tabby, was found on the street near . She is a domestic short haired cat who is approximately 2-4 years old. She is de-clawed.

2. Electra, a domestic short haired cat, is a 4-month-old red Tabby. She was found on the doorstep of a local vet. Electra lost a leg when it was wrapped around her mother's umbilical cord. She is currently scheduled for surgery on Friday to have the remaining part of the leg removed at Tufts Medical. The MAAS is taking donations to offset the cost of the surgery.

3. Mercury is a 3-month-old domestic short haired cat. He was rescued from a hoarding situation in Marlborough. Mercury was born with double paws and a malformed eye which has been removed.

5. Tamarin is Mayzie's sister.

6. Flora is 6-weeks-old. She is the only surviving kitten born to a feral cat from Hudson.

7. Cat in the Hat (male) was rescued from the Marlborough Transfer Station. He has been waiting for a home for 2 months.

The Metrowest Animal Awareness Society is holding its next Meow Mixer on Aug. 27. Stop by and meet these cats and many more who are just waiting to join a family and be loved.

On October 15 there will be a Witches Cotillion to benefit the MAAS. The event will take place at 7 p.m. at the Moose Lodge in Marlborough. Tickets are $25 and proceeds will go to help rescue, treat and place the many cats taken in by the MAAS.
