445.0. "Northeast Animal shelter?" by GRANMA::JBOBB (Janet Bobb dtn:339-5755) Tue Nov 24 1992 11:10

    Hi...
    
    Moderators - please move this note if there is a more appropriate
    place. I looked for other notes about this shelter, or a generic
    "shelter" note and didn't see it.
    
    Now having said that.... has anyone heard of or had experience with the
    Northeast Animal Shelter? I just received a mailing asking for money.
    The address is 204 Highland Ave. Salem Ma 01970.  Their literature
    indicates that they are a no-kill shelter.
    
    I'd be interested in finding out about the shelter. 
    
    thanks!

Northeast Shelter is what they say they are - a no-kill animal
shelter. I went there when I was looking for a kitty, but ended
up getting Bumble Bea through this file. If my husband wasn't
with me I surely would have emptied out the shelter.

My understanding is that they are the largest no-kill shelter
around. A worthy cause.

445.2A Very Good ExperienceISLNDS::SCHULTZTue Nov 24 1992 12:0021
    We got our Frieda from them back 5 years ago.  Their card was given to
    me by someone who was very high on them.  my friend told me they were
    very good to the animals and very selective of the new owners.  When
    our oldest cat died at 18 we went there to look for the biggest,
    fluffyest maine coon cat look-alike we could find.  They had several
    that fit the bill but there was this skinny black and white cat of
    about a year old who grabbed us through the cage every time we passed. 
    Needless to say we left not with a big fat Yankee cat but the thin
    practical German.  We think of her as the practical, no nonsense German
    no frills cat.  The people at the shelter were very careful in their
    questions and I think they let us have her more because she approved of
    us than they did.  I have passed on their card to other people since so
    I would say they are very deserving of any contributions you want to
    make.
    
    Only one thing.  If you look in the "Strays Needing Homes" note in this
    conference you will see that there are feliners out there who are
    taking care of cats in their neighborhoods.  A donation to them,
    especially at Christmas time, might be even more appropriate.

445.3Got my kitty from themVMPIRE::BACHELDERFri Dec 04 1992 13:246
    I got my Ebony from the Northeast Animal Shelter.  They are no-kill.
    They even give you a certificate for free spading/neutering when you
    get a new kitten (usually to a vet that is close to you).

    That's *spaying*, unless they're offering to bludgeon the kitties with
    garden implements  =8-O   :-)

    I agree with the previous recommendations.  Northeast is a
    place where the minute you walk in you know these folks really
    care.  They are very selective with the new owners and it
    shows in the level of care given to the placements.
