Please Adopt Us

The big news at the Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard this week is that Binx, our beautiful black kitty with the long white whiskers, has finally found a home! Everyone of us at the shelter — staff and volunteers alike — are so happy for Binx. She had been at the shelter for a year and a half. We wish her new owner all the best and we will miss Binx very much, but this just goes to prove that we are a no-kill shelter — no matter how long an animal has been there. Have a happy home, Binx.
