Story
Minnie is the most precious lap cat you've ever met, she loves people and sleeping on your back. Pepper is a little chatty but once her trust is earned she purrs so loud. I've raised Minnie since I adopted her in 2019. Pepper I've had since she was a Kitten in 2021.I really don't want to give them up, I really, really don't. We got a puppy a few years ago and while Minnie is alright with her, Pepper is not. It is become a problem for my boyfriend. I also need to sequester them when I have dogs in my home for my dog walking & boarding business. Sometimes I feel they are not getting proper love and attention.They need to be rehomed *together*. This is a non-negotiable. I'm sure Minnie would be OK on her own but Pepper would be confused. It's ok if you already have a dog but you may want a trial period for Pepper.Please email me with any inquiries. Thank you for extending your love to my beautiful and amazing kitties.— Ericstunning.brave@gmail.com

Kit Kat is a very personable cat that loves lap time. She is great with kids (we have 4), our dog and our other cat. Unfortunately she marks her territory if we leave anything on the floor like plastic or fabric. We have tried numerous things to break her from this habit. In our busy house, we just can’t control this. In a smaller, more controlled, environment someone may have more success with this. It breaks our hearts but we just can’t do any more laundry

Story
Mama Tao is a gorgeous and petite dilute calico female. She was found as a pregnant stray on the streets of Nashville, but acts like she’s been indoors her whole life. She enjoys looking out the window, scratching her cardboard scratching post, and lounging near people in gorgeous poses. Mama Tao is estimated to be 1-2 years old and still loves being picked up and carried around like a baby. She hasn’t figured out playing yet, though. She is litter trained and gets along with other cats and kids; she tolerates our dogs, but isn’t the biggest fan. If she joins a family with cats, she will tend towards being dominant. Mama Tao is the most beautiful and sweet addition to a family and can’t wait to join yours.October 6, 2026, 6:55 pm

Story
My name is Tweety and I'm a 4-year-old tabby girl and I'm posted with my kitten pal Han Solo. I was surrendered by people who never bothered to take me to the vet, so, predictably, I had lots and lots of kittens, then they gave me up with having too many cats as the reason for surrendering me. I never learned what happened to my babies. I like to be around people, but I admit it takes me a while to get used to new ones. Certain behaviors, such as wariness at being approached for petting by hands coming from above, being even more startled than most cats by sudden noises and movements, or guardedness around feet, make my fosters suspect I may have experienced abuse in my past, such as by being struck or kicked, but I'm not telling. I'll admit, I was kind of a mess until Han Solo came around. He's only about two and a half months old and he kind of reminds me of my babies. I didn't like him at first, but it didn't take him long to win me over with sheer cuteness. I'm not as much a mother to him as I am a big sister. We run around and play a lot-- he's the perfect companion for me because I have a lot of energy also. I know I'm bigger than he is, so I'm pretty gentle and I seem to be doing a good job of it. We've become a bonded pair, so neither of us will be adopted without the other.There are a couple of very young children in my foster home. I would probably be OK adopted into a home with older kids but younger ones don't always respect my boundaries. I respond with a swat, but I don't actually try to hurt them. We have been spayed/neutered, our shots are up to date, and we have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. We're being fostered in Charlestown. The total adoption fee for both of us is $325, which is putting us pretty cheap if you ask me. It's a huge discount. If you're interested in adopting us, click the button that says "Ask about us."

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
My name is Lottie and I'm a sweet brown-tabby girl, about 2 years old. I once belonged to someone who fell on hard times and couldn't keep me.  I was very frightened at first, but my warm personality couldn't help but emerge once I figured out that my fosters were nice to me. My foster mom says that I am a very sweet and curious girl, easy to warm up to people once I get to know them.  I love cuddling at night or curling up next to her while she works. I'm very fond of windows and playing with string.  While I'm not a big fan of other cats, I wouldn't do well being left unaccompanied for long hours. I should get lots of playtime and attention, but then so should most other cats.  I promise I'll be your best friend for life. I'm an easy-going kind of girl and I would be a good companion for a first-time adopter.I'm about two years old. I have been spayed, and my shots are up to date. I have also tested negative for FeLV and FIV. I'm being fostered in the Boston University area. My adoption fee has been reduced by $30. If you're interested in adopting me, click the button that says "Ask about me." It's right over there.

Story
Our names are Napoli and Verona, and we are a bonded-sister pair, about 4 1/2 months old. We are fluffier than most kittens, so the vet thinks that we have some Maine coon in us. We eat, play and sleep together, and we need a home with someone who will love us. We are over-the-top friendly. We even purred at the vet's office when we got our shots, and everyone commented on how cute we were. One minute we'll groom each other, the next minute we'll wrestle with each other, then the next minute will curl up with each other for a nap. You know those aloof cats who take a while to warm up to people? Well, that's not us! We'll curl up with you or on you on the sofa and eventually we'll have you laughing with our antics. We even get along with the small dog in our foster home. We would do best in a home where we'll get lots of playtime and attention. We don't like to be apart from each other for long, and, because we are a bonded pair, we will not be adopted separately. A discount will apply to get us adopted together. We are easy kittens, suitable for a first-time adopter. We promise to be your devoted best friends for the rest of our lives.We're spayed females. We have tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and our shots are up to date. We are being fostered in Melrose. Our adoption fee has even been discounted by $110 down to facilitate us getting adopted together. If you're interested in adopting us, click the button that says "Ask about us."
