Things are moving faster than ever at Pet Refuge — and the results are extraordinary. We aimed for a 50% increase in intakes and adoptions in 2025 and far exceeded that goal.
2025 vs. 2024 totals:
Our online presence has exploded, bringing adopters from across New England and 100 new followers every 2-3 days.
But with this surge comes rising costs. We’ve increased staff by nearly 40% in nine months to care for the growing number of cats — including the sick ones we’re proud to take in when other shelters can’t. Food, litter, vet care, and staffing needs are climbing fast, and donations are not keeping pace.
We’re facing our most urgent fundraising need yet. Your gift — of any size — helps us keep saying “yes” to cats with nowhere else to go. Instructions for mailing a check can be found on our donation page.
The cats are counting on us. And we’re counting on you.
Thank you to all our wonderful donors!
If you’re interested in donating our most needed items, we’re happy to help you make the greatest impact.
You can always refer to our general wishlist on our Donate Page to see the items we use most frequently. However, for the most current and urgent needs, feel free to reach out via email — we aim to respond promptly.
Please contact Jenna at donations@thepetrefuge.org, and she’ll let you know exactly what’s needed most right now.
Thank you again for your continued generosity and support!

We regret to inform you that our yard sales have been suspended until further notice. We will not be holding these two events in 2026.
These events required hundreds of volunteer hours and, unfortunately, did not generate sufficient benefit to continue at this time.
Please do not drop off any items.
We look forward to announcing new events in the coming months.
The shelter is open by appointment only for adoptions. Please call (401) 294-1115 to schedule an appointment after you are notified of an approved adoption application.
Donations are welcome 11:00AM-3:30PM Monday – Saturday (we are closed Sunday). You may also leave donations in our bin to the right of our front door.
For anything else, please email programs@thepetrefuge.org and we will promptly handle your request and/or schedule you for an appointment.
