Pet Parade: Medfield Animal Shelter

BOSTON (CBS) -- Four cats up for adoption from Medfield Animal Shelter were featured on the Pet Parade Sunday.

The shelter is a small organization that has been in operation for about 13 years, building up from nothing to being able to place over 500 pets each year.

Princess Pea is a 9- or 10-month-old cat who was found out on the street by some college students who just couldn't afford her vet care. She's been spayed and vaccinated, and she's all ready for a home--she's very sweet and mellow!

Petal came into the shelter's care very pregnant and had 5 beautiful babies. She's very sweet and active, and greets everyone as if they are an old friend. She is about a year and a half old.

And two of Petal's babies came along Sunday, too--Charlie Brown and Marcie. All of the kittens were named after Peanuts characters. They would make great pets for children, because they can be handled and are very sweet.
