If you are a fan of the iconic cartoon cat Garfield, then we have your very own version: BIG MAN! Take a look at Big Man’s “grumpalicious” face and try NOT to fall in love!
Big Man quite literally is a big man…he is 13 years old! And he has had quite a journey: originally adopted out of the APCSM shelter at the age of 6 months, he was surrendered to a Connecticut shelter a short time ago, and finally made it back to APCSM, where he has been enjoying his days in the cat lounge, soaking up all the attention from volunteers, visitors, and staff. Big Man is definitely a BIG favorite.
We don’t blame him for this at all considering the recent big moves, but he is a little confused and distraught about his return to the shelter. Every day that passes by, he is returning to his original self of being a very sweet kitty. Big Man also knows how to use his voice so you will know when he needs some pets and attention. We love a man who knows what he wants and how to say it!
Big Man does have some previous experience living with other small dogs and cats, but APCSM does believe it would be best if Big Man was the solo star in your home. He is all up to date on vaccinations, is microchipped, and neutered.
He is ready to be your next family member so please read the information below and continue to the APCSM website for next steps. Also, the public hours of APCSM are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 1-4pm!
If you are not ready to be a pet owner quite yet, there are lots of opportunities to get involved with APCSM. If you would like to Foster a pet, please click here for more information.
APCSM is always collecting donations too, anything helps to protect animals.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Step 1: Find a friend!
Visit our website to view listings of all animals currently looking for homes.
You’ll find information on each pet by clicking on their picture.
If you have questions about a specific animal, please email us directly at info@apcsm.org
Please kindly take note that we do not retain applications for extended periods, nor for special requests. Our website is updated automatically as animals become available, so please check back regularly!
An adoption inquiry is not a hold, reservation, or guarantee on pet adoption.
Step 2: Send in your app
If you see an animal you like, submit an adoption application! If you aren’t sure on exactly which animal – that’s OK too. We can do a general meet and greet with multiple animals.
After submitting an application, our staff will review your information and contact you. Please allow up to 3 business days to hear from us.
We will schedule a day and time for you to come to the shelter to meet the pet(s) you are interested in adopting.
Step 3: Meet your new buddy!
If your meet-and-greet goes well, it’s time to adopt! Your counselor will guide you through some paperwork to make it official. See our current adoption fees.
If you are adopting a cat, kitten, or small animal, please bring a secure carrier to safely transport them home. A collar and leash will be provided to you if you are adopting a dog.
If You Have Other Pets at Home:
We prefer that your current animals be up-to-date on vaccinations and regular/semi-regular check ups.
If you are adopting a dog or guinea pig, we will arrange a time for your current pets to meet your new friend here at the shelter to ensure they’re a good fit.
If you are adopting a cat, bird, or other small animal, we will not have them meet beforehand. We do recommend and encourage SLOW, supervised introductions in your home.
Please remember, we want you to succeed! Our animals deserve loving homes and every potential adopter goes through the same adoption process to ensure the animals are placed in a safe environment. We hope you find a great match!
