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 27, 2026, 11:08 am

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?NoDoes the cat like to be held?NoDoes 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.

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.

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.

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 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 24, 2026, 6:23 pm

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profilehttps://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-bostonScuttle is a two year old neutered male cat, looking for his home. Here’s what his foster volunteer says about him: How would you describe the cat's general personality?Scuttle is an affectionate, playful, and energetic little guy! He loves following his human around and will sometimes lie right on your feet, making it impossible to walk. He’s also quite vocal and loves to meow at you. He’s curious about everything and wants to play with just about anything he comes across. Does the cat enjoy being pet? If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched?Scuttle absolutely loves being petted, especially on the back of his head and under his chin. He may try to grab your hand with his paws when you touch his belly, so he seems to prefer head and chin pets over belly rubs! Does the cat come on your lap?Yes! Scuttle loves lying on your lap. When relaxing on the couch, he also likes to snuggle up right against your body. He’s a very affectionate and cuddly companion. Does the cat like to be held?Scuttle doesn’t seem very used to being held yet. He stays calm when picked up, but usually jumps down after a second or two. Does the cat sleep in your bed?Not sure yet! We haven’t reached the stage of sharing a bed, so I don’t know if he’ll sleep with me at night. Does the cat seek your attention?Yes! Scuttle is very vocal and will keep meowing until I make eye contact with him or respond to him. He definitely likes to communicate with his humans! Does the cat like to play?Scuttle absolutely loves to play, and solo toys are his specialty! He plays with them very well and loves to run around. He’s still learning how to play with wand toys and often tries to take the wand away so he can play with it by himself. He’s also still figuring out puzzle toys and sometimes has trouble finding the hidden treats. What are the cat's favorite games and toys?Scuttle’s favorite toy is his catnip pillow! He also likes to hide his favorite toys and take them out again whenever he feels like playing. How vocal is the cat? What kinds of sounds does the cat make?Scuttle is quite vocal! When he’s awake and not resting, he’ll often meow here and there, especially when people are walking around. He also loves meowing in the kitchen, possibly because he associates it with mealtime.Scuttle makes all kinds of sounds! He meows, purrs, and makes little chirping or trilling sounds. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? If no, please explain.Scuttle mostly uses his scratching posts and scratchers. He tried scratching a cabinet door once, but stopped when he realized he didn’t like the texture. So far, he seems to prefer his designated scratching spots! Does the cat always use the litter box? If no, please explain.Scuttle uses his litter box very well now and does a great job covering his waste. When he first arrived at his foster home, he pooped on a bath mat and urinated on the sofa. This may have been related to the stress of adjusting to a new environment. Since settling in and getting more comfortable, he has been using his litter box well. What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Scuttle eats four meals of wet food a day, about half a can per meal. His wet food includes Fussie Cat chicken and turkey shreds, RAWZ chicken and turkey shreds, and Tiki Cat chicken mousse. He also has a separate bowl of RAWZ chicken recipe dry food, with about 1–2 tablespoons available to help make sure he gets enough to eat. Is the cat picky about food?Scuttle is not picky at all! He happily eats all the food offered to him and always finishes his meals. What is the cat's favorite treat?I’ve tried Greenies, Temptations Party Mix, and Churu treats, and Scuttle likes all of them! What medication is the cat on, and how is it administered?No. Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances?When Scuttle gets overly excited during play, he may reach out and try to grab people with his paws and claws. However, he has not actually hurt anyone. Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you?Scuttle has not scratched or injured me. When he gets excited and reaches out with his paws, he seems to be mindful of his strength and keeps his claws fairly gentle. Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)?Yes. When Scuttle gets excited, he may repeatedly try to gently nip at people. His bites have never broken the skin and usually don’t hurt. To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful?Scuttle tends to hide for a few hours when meeting strangers. Once he feels safe, he may come out to observe them from a distance or from a cozy hiding spot. He needs some time to warm up to new people. If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on?I haven’t had a chance to observe Scuttle interacting with other animals, as there are no other animals in his current foster home. Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions?Scuttle is full of funny little quirks! He responds right away whenever you call him. When he sleeps, he can twist himself into all kinds of hilarious positions, almost like a liquid cat. He also seems to be able to fall asleep and wake up at a moment’s notice. He’s endlessly entertaining to watch. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt?Scuttle is very affectionate and loves being around his humans. He follows me everywhere, meows for attention, and loves to cuddle. He’s also full of energy and has lots of funny sleeping positions. Even when he gets excited during playtime, he tries to be gentle with people. He’s a fun, sweet little guy who makes you feel loved! What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them?Scuttle can be shy and scared at first, but he is not aggressive. He just needs time to feel safe. Give him several hiding spots.  A separate room is ideal, but a quiet corner can work too. I gave him half of my living room since I don’t have a separate room. I set up a small camper for him to hide in. He also liked hiding behind my partner’s desk.Give him space and privacy. Sometimes I went into my bedroom so he could explore, eat, drink, and use the litter box without feeling watched. Keep his food near his hiding spots at first, and put his litter box somewhere quiet and easy to reach. Don’t force him to interact. Let him come to you when he’s ready. When he starts watching you from a distance, try tossing him some treats. Scuttle kept eating and using his litter box normally while adjusting to his new home. It took about a week for him to start approaching me on his own.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 24, 2026, 6:23 pm

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profilehttps://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-bostonBean and Momo are a 1-year-old bonded sister and brother, up to date on vaccinations WHO MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER. Here’s what their foster volunteers say about them:How would you describe the cats' general personalities? Bean and Momo balance each other out wonderfully. Bean is quieter and more polite, while Momo is the rambunctious, adventurous, and slightly bratty brother. Both are shy and skittish with humans initially, but curious and motivated by food/treats. Bean is slightly more approachable for gentle pets if approached slowly, while Momo loves being near the action, lounging on the couch just out of reach, and playing.Do the cats enjoy being pet? They are both learning to enjoy pets as they build trust. Bean warms up and purrs (with an oddly deep purr for a tiny cat) when relaxed. Momo has recently accepted pets down his back or head/eyebrow scritches, especially when relaxed near another cat or distracted by treats, though he can still be hesitant with approaching hands.If yes, on what parts of their bodies do they like to be pet? Bean likes pets on her face, head, and back (along with occasional chin/chest scratches). Momo enjoys scritches on the back of his head, eyebrows, and down his back.Are there any parts of their bodies that they do NOT like being touched? Neither likes sudden movements or being grabbed. Bean will sometimes dart off with a full-body pet. Momo is protective of his personal space when cornered or startled and prefers light, respectful touches.Do the cats come on your lap? Both will crawl onto your lap for high-value treats (like Greenies or Churus), but they usually move away once the treats are gone.Do the cats like to be held? No. Neither cat likes being picked up or held; Bean kicks to escape after a few seconds, and Momo gets distressed.Do the cats sleep in your bed? They are generally kept in a separate room overnight due to young-cat nighttime zoomies. During the day, Bean occasionally naps in the bed if the sun is right, and Momo will venture onto the bed if he thinks everyone is asleep.Do the cats seek your attention? They seek attention primarily around routine treat times! Momo will run over and look up at you on the couch for evening snacks. Bean tag-alongs quietly with her brother and other resident cats.Do the cats like to play? Absolutely! They love playing together—chasing each other around the house, tag-teaming rolling toys, and wrestling. They both enjoy laser pointers, feather wands, fake rodents, springs, and electric toys.What are their favorite games, toys, and scratchers? Laser pointers, plastic springs, feather wands, coir and cardboard scratchers, and playing chase with each other.How vocal are the cats and what sounds do they make? Very quiet overall. Bean squeaks sadly when everyone is asleep and she wants to play. Momo will occasionally make soft whines if separated or bored. Neither meows frequently.Do the cats always use the litter box? Yes, 100% reliable! However, both are extremely vigorous diggers, so high-walled litter boxes and a good vacuum are recommended.What food, frequency, and treats do they enjoy? They eat scheduled breakfast and dinner meals wet/dry food without being picky. Greenies and Churus are their absolute favorite treats (Momo also loves cooked chicken, though he gets possessive with it!). Bean eats patiently, while Momo can be more eager.Have either of the cats shown swatting, scratching, or biting behaviors?Bean: Extremely gentle and peaceful. She has never scratched, bitten, or attacked anyone (except playful wrestling with Momo). She accepts treats very softly, occasionally taking a gentle nibble if fingers smell like treat dust.Momo: Was defensive/swatty when he first arrived, but has improved significantly with socialization training. He now swats much less (mainly if cornered or startled), usually with claws retracted or just trying to reach a treat. He has never bitten or broken skin.How do the cats react to new people? Both are fearful of new people and will hide together until they feel safe. They need a quiet environment and patient adopters who will let them settle in at their own pace.How do they get along with each other and other animals? They adore each other and are inseparable companions—playing, chasing, and napping together. They also do wonderfully with other cats! Bean runs over to rub against resident cats and cuddle in cat piles, while Momo joins in play and respects boundaries.What cute or quirky traits do they have? Bean is tiny and polite, treating other cats like giant beanbags to sleep on. Momo has a cute white dusting on his chest, is a bit more adventurous (loves investigating counter/stoves and trying to steal butter!), and constantly battles between wanting to be brave for treats and remembering he's supposed to be shy.In your opinion, what is the best thing about this pair? Why adopt them together? Watching Bean and Momo interact is pure joy. They give each other confidence, entertain one another with play, and form cozy cuddle piles. Helping them build confidence with humans is an incredibly rewarding experience!What are their main challenges and how best to manage them? Their main challenge is initial shyness and skittishness. Momo can react defensively if cornered, and Bean will retreat if approached too quickly. They thrive best with gentle, predictable routines, high-value treats, and adopters who let them come out of their shell on their own timeline.  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 24, 2026, 6:23 pm
