About Lark

Meet Lark! This unique feline has a fascinating trait—he might have enough toes for two cats. Previously a stray, Lark was rescued by our Field Services team after getting a scratch on his nose from the trap. With a little time and patience, he gradually warms up and turns those tentative blinks into affectionate interactions, especially when rewarded with a tasty treat. Once he settles into his new environment, he's sure to delight his forever family with his biscuit-making skills. Lark is currently up to date on his vaccinations, flea and tick preventative, and has been spayed. He's microchipped and had a thorough vet examination. Please note, he will need time to acclimate to his new home, adjusting at his own pace. Lark is located in Dedham, MA, and we welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. Please keep in mind that same-day adoptions are not possible due to state regulations. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
