Second Chance Shelter for Cats

Directions Website

Second Chance Shelter for Cats Helping homeless Boston cats find their forever homes. We are strictly NO-KILL. We are always asked our hours of operation.

We are a small no-kill home-based shelter in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Jamaica Plain and a network of loving foster homes, friends, sympathetic veterinarians and feline rescuers, working to reduce the number of homeless cats in our backyards and on our local Boston streets. We believe that no one has the right to judge (as many shelters do) who is deserving of his or her own life. We euthanize only when a veterinarian concludes an animal is terminally ill with no hope of recovery. We are not staffed during the day, we receive no state, city or federal funding, we are all volunteers who give our time and money for love of the animals. We all work paying jobs during the day and care for the animals every evening. We use many private foster homes, so potential adopters must be screened first and come by appointment only. All adoptions involve completing an adoption application, vet and/or personal reference checks, and a nonprofit adoption fee which helps to recover our costs, and supports our work. Adult cat: $200.00-already neutered/spayed,combo-tested, vaccinated. Kitten: $225.00-includes spay/neuter (whether already done or to be done before 6 months of age), combo-test, rabies & distemper vaccinations. Dogs/Puppies:$depends

We have a donation bin located at the Pet Supplies Plus in West Roxbury (1665 VFW Parkway). We are always in need of food, litter and toys! Check donations can be sent to:

PLEASE THINK TWICE about shopping at Pet Supplies Plus in West Roxbury! For 20+ years we enjoyed a great relationship with the store; they asked every client to buy extra cat food at the register to "benefit a local shelter"-INCRESASING THEIR SALES! An elderly friend of our shelter was caught shoplifting there. Instead of confronting them, giving the absent-minded senior a chance to correct their error, PSP management decided that they would cut all benefits to our shelter???!!! HOW CAN THE ACTION OF ONE PERSON loosely associated with our shelter bring the condemnation of our entire shelter system and all the animals we save??? SHAME ON PSP WEST ROXBURY!
