Brattleboro, VT – Windham County Humane Society (WCHS) is excited to announce a special Pet Adoption and Food Drive Event in collaboration with Brattleboro Subaru, located at 1234 Putney Road, Brattleboro, VT 05301. The event will run from October 1, 2024, through November 1, 2024, as part of Subaru’s nationwide Subaru Loves Pets® initiative.

This month-long event aims to raise awareness of the importance of adopting shelter pets and support local animals in need. According to the ASPCA®, nearly 6.5 million companion animals have entered shelters nationwide last year, underscoring the critical need for adoption. WCHS is committed to finding loving homes for as many shelter pets as possible, and this partnership with Brattleboro Subaru will help drive that mission forward.

Selectkitten Meeting Notes – Cuteness Not Called Into Question

by cgrotke | Pets

The Brattleboro Selectboard is meeting tonight and the agenda looks thrilling. By thrilling, I mean pretty ordinary. The biggest item, to my eye, is the hiring of two security firms for downtown patrols. They will also start to look at enterprise fund budgets. It’s all in their background materials.

Tonight, I’d rather tell you the tale of a stray cat that showed up late last fall. It was a little thing, and solid gray. It was getting cold out and I wondered if it was just lost so I put some food out. It seemed a bit on the feral side, or at least a bit standoff-ish or unsure, so I kept my distance.
