About Melrose Humane Society

Monk was brought in as a young kitten with 2 siblings.  One female and Monk and a brother.  When the little litter was brought to the vet for their first checkups, it was discovered that Monk's brother had such a significant heart murmur, that the vet said he would probably never see his first birthday.  The female in the litter was OK, but Monk was almost - not quite - as bad as his brother.   One of the vet techs initially took the brother home so she could get him on heart meds and give him the best quality of life that she could. She was his Guardian Angel.  The sister was adopted and Monk went to another Guardian Angel home.
