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

This four year old Calico/Maine Coon is one of 35+ cats who came from one home. The owner let all of the cats outside to fend of themselves. We were are able to trap the majority of them and she is by far the shyest. She barely allows pets and is very very scared. She does well with other cats and we think she will blossom if she is in a smaller space/apartment living. There is no adoption fee because of how shy she is. We are still working on their pals :( You can copy the paste the link below into your search bar or you can visit our website and click on Adopt at unfurget.org and then Cat/Kitten Application. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScogvkhLqJQobQ2-DLoJyFnMZWP4izPcW225YvBfzrFlbdPpg/viewform?usp=head

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 4, 2026, 5:19 pm

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Rachel is a super companiable and communicative 5 year old spayed female cat, up to date on vaccinations and full of personality! She needs to be an only cat. Here’s what her foster volunteer says about her:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? Rachel is friendly and vocal - she has lots of different quiet noises! She loves to be near people and often head butts you for a few pats on her head. She loves to scratch vertical and horizontal scratchers but not furniture!   Does the cat enjoy being pet? Yes, primarily on the head, when she asks for pets. She likes only a few pets, and it’s easy to tell from her demeanor when she’s done. She asks by bonking her head on your hand. If you put your hand out and she doesn't bonk, she doesn't want to be pet (but she still wants to hang out).   If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Head. She also likes to be brushed on her head and back.   Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? Her head is really the sweet spot, and just a few pats - don’t overdo it.   Does the cat come on your lap? Rachel loves to be near people, but not on laps.   Does the cat sleep in your bed? She walks across us when we’re in bed and settles down at the end of the bed or the bench at the foot of the bed, and we often find her on the bed when we get home.   Does the cat seek your attention? Yes. Rachel is very social and has a range of chirps, meows, purrs, hisses, and growls. She is happy when people come into the room and asks for head pets. She follows you to the food bowl, water bowl, litter box.   Does the cat like to play? YES. She's more of a solo player, but very playful.   What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Crinkle ball, catnip mouse, spring, scratcher - she winds herself around the scratching post and has a great time.   How vocal is the cat? Medium - she has lots of sounds, but isn't a loud/annoying meower at all.   What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Many -  chirps, meows, purrs, hisses, and growls   Does the cat scratch a scratcher? YES - enthusiastically   Does the cat always use the litter box? yes.   What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Currently, Rachel is eating dry food only, a scoop in the morning and a scoop at night.   What is the cat's favorite treat? Churu, of course.   What medication is the cat on, and how is it administered? N/A   Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? If you pat her too long, she might swat. The key is to just give her a few pets on her head and then stop - keep her wanting more!   Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? No Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? yes - same as swatting Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? No   To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? She's quite social and happy to have people in the room with her.   If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? Rachel does not seem to be a fan of our resident cats.   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? I think Rachel is fabulous. She's quite companionable and super cute with her one ear, perfect French manicure and giant whiskers. She's happy to sit near while you're on the computer or reading, and loves to slow-blink back and forth. In the morning she runs from the other room and launches herself on the bed to let us know she's ready for breakfast (at a very reasonable hour of 7am)!   In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? As a foster, Rachel is "the one who got away" for me, and I'm so happy to have a chance to foster her a second time (she was adopted two years ago and then surrendered recently when her original adopter moved to a place that didn’t allow pets). She is social and vocal and playful. She definitely wants to be around people, but doesn't always want to be pet (and when she does want to be pet, it's just a few pets on the head). She is friendly and super fun to be around!   What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? Rachel likes just a few pets, so you as a human have to control yourself. You’ll want to pet her soft fur forever, and you need to remember she just likes a few pets!

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston  Backstory: Chazzy and Ollie are a gentle, bonded pair of 9-year-old brothers who are looking for a calm, loving forever home to spend their golden years. These handsome boys (Ollie sports a subtle white patch while Chazzy is solid black) joined Black Cat Rescue after losing their longtime owner, and they have been working hard to decompress in their foster home. While they are quite shy with new people, they are sweet-natured gentlemen who find immense comfort in each other’s presence and are slowly learning that the world is a safe, kind place. Almost 10 years ago Chazzy and Ollie were trapped outside along with their two sisters. The litter was on their own and getting a little too old (6 months or so) to compete with younger, more socialized kittens that year. The amazing woman who rescued them while working to help all of the cats in her community, decided to adopt all four of them. Sadly, Chazzy, Ollie and their sisters recently lost their lifelong person. Chazzy and Ollie are now looking for another amazing person to take a chance on two shy guys. How would you describe the cat's general personality? Chazzy and Ollie are very calm, enjoying each other's company in a quiet home. They prefer to stay in their hiding nooks when humans are around, but are slowly showing more personality in foster care as they play with each other when left to themselves. They have great manners in eating and using the litter box, and do not mind being pet every so often. Does the cat enjoy being pet? Chazzy and Ollie do not mind being pet, but they do not seek it out either. They will let their foster pet them from inside their cat tree and like being rewarded with treats! If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? For now, they have mostly been getting pets on their backs and across their body, though they have also begun to warm up to scritches near their neck as well. Does the cat come on your lap? No Does the cat like to be held? No Does the cat sleep in your bed? No (they have a separate room) Does the cat seek your attention? No – Chazzy and Ollie mainly stay to themselves, but with patience, they are slowly becoming more curious about humans. They will pop out of their hiding holes and sit in the room to observe their foster care volunteer from a distance. Does the cat like to play? What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Chazzy and Ollie like to play with little mouse and ball toys by themselves, and the toys are often thrown about in various places from day to day. They do not play as much with their foster, and are not particularly interested in interactive games like string toys. How vocal is the cat? What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Both cats are not super vocal and have not meowed much. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? If no, please explain. Neither cat has clawed at any furniture. They have a scratching post available to them, but their foster volunteer has not witnessed them use it. Does the cat always use the litter box? Chazzy and Ollie are great at using the litter box consistently and have great litter box manners. What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Is the cat picky about food? What is the cat's favorite treat? Chazzy and Ollie require a specific prescription urinary diet to stay healthy, and both boys eat Rx urinary care diet to avoid urinary blockages. They have one can of wet food every day – half in the morning and half at night. They also free feed kibble and treats each day as well. Both have been very good about eating and drinking water consistently. Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? No Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? No. Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? No. Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? No. To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? Chazzy and Ollie are pretty calm around new people, but continue to stick to their favorite nooks without being overly social.   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? Chazzy and Ollie love hanging out in a pillow fort of cat pillows and blankets, finding many nooks and crannies to chill out in! They often scurry about at night after getting fed, which is very cute to hear. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? Chazzy and Ollie are the perfect companions for someone looking to provide a quiet, patient sanctuary for two senior cats. They have made wonderful progress in foster care, rewarding their foster mom with soft purrs and slow, trusting blinks as they grow more comfortable with pets and human interaction. They are very low maintenance and can often take care of themselves very well, entertaining each other and taking comfort in each other’s presence.

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Oppie is a two year old neutered male cat but we understand if you mistake him for a kitten. He is up to date on vaccines. He does well with other cats. Oppie has a food allergy that is managed by eating a prescription diet for food sensitives. Here’s what foster volunteers who have cared for him say: How would you describe the cat's general personality? Oppie is the kind of sweet and adorable you really need to experience for yourself. His photos and descriptions are all lovely, but he really shines in person. Just a little sweetie pie. The cutest little meow when he talks to you. Playful, cuddly, follows you around like a shadow. Does the cat enjoy being pet? If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? YES, he loves to be pet on the top of the head and along his back. Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? He does not like his belly or his face being touched.  Does the cat come on your lap? While he doesn't technically get all the way in the lap, he likes to cuddle up to your side and snuggle his way into your armpit. He also likes to be the little spoon during snuggling. Does the cat like to be held? He prefers to hold you than for you to hold him. When you pick him up, he'll politely squirm until you put him down. Does the cat sleep in your bed? Yes, he's happiest when he's cuddled up to you! Does the cat seek your attention? YES. He loves to interact and is a true companion cat. Only adopt him if you want a best friend. Does the cat like to play? What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Yes he loves to play. His favorite toys are his wand toys and his 3-way tunnel. Oppie is very play motivated and seems to get sad without enough stimulation. I strive for a minimum of 1hr of play with a cat toy wand.  How vocal is the cat? What kinds of sounds does the cat make? He likes to meow at night but is not the most vocal cat. He has a cute , high-pitched little meow. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? If no, please explain. Yes, he likes the sisel type especially. Since he's so small, he can get a good stretch on most vertical scratchers. Does the cat always use the litter box? If no, please explain.

What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Is the cat picky about food? What is the cat's favorite treat? Oppie is eating his medicated cat food, 4 times a day. He is picky about his food. His favorite treat is his tiny spoonful of pumpkin puree.  What medication is the cat on, and how is it administered? Oppie is currently on an antibiotic eye medication which needs to be administered and blinked onto his eyelids when he’s stressed (such as moving homes).  He is also on prescription cat food, and when he uses gabapentin, we will mix it into his pumpkin puree. In order for Oppie to eat his pumpkin mixture / fortiflora & gabapentin mixture, he needs to have ~10-15 mins of play time.  Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? No Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? No Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? Oppie will love bite when he's rubbing his head all over you. He's easily redirected not to repeat it. Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? No To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? He's cautious but warms up to new people impressively quickly. If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? No but in his former home he lived happily with another cat and enjoyed its companionship, including cuddling and grooming one another. Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? He follows the cursor on your computer screen and gets so confused as to why he can't grab it. His ears are SUPER expressive and point toward whatever he's' focusing on.  In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? Oppie loves to cuddle and is the sweetest cat. If you would like a cat that is excited for bedtime so he can snuggle up next to you, then this is the cat to adopt. Seriously, if you think his photos are cute, he will melt your heart in person! What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? Oppie biggest challenge is his food allergy. He needs to eat his prescription diet exclusively, which means no sharing with other cats.   To learn more about adopting this cat in Massachusetts, please visit www.blackcatrescue.com or fill out an Adoption Profile at https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston.  October 4, 2026, 5:18 pm
