Calico kittens & cats in Somerville, Massachusetts

Hi, we are Astrid and Ronin, 6-year old boy and girl, waiting for the forever family! The handsome gray and white boy is me, Ronin! I’m a little shy at first but when I decide that you are my friend, you will see that I’m the most affectionate boy! I like to be picked up like a baby and will give you hugs and kisses and head butts to let you know that I love you. I am definitely a lap cat! I am Astrid’s big brother and try to sit next to her and comfort her whenever she is scared. Astrid is a quiet, shy, sweet calico. She’s not used to being in a strange environment and finds it quite distressing, but she will never ever scratch or bite you. She is really a loving girl who likes head scratches and back pats. She is full of personality! We can’t wait to find our new family!

Harley is a pretty girl who is very affectionate with people. She is litter box trained but does not like a dirty box, she will go outside the box if it’s not clean. She is deaf so please keep that in mind. She would do well in a home with no other pets where she gets all of the attention as she gets jealous and can be aggressive to other cats. Harley was left with me by a coworker who was moving. I have two other cats that are well bonded and they don’t get along. She would be great with someone who spends a lot of time at home who needs a companion. I can’t say if she is good with children because I’ve never seen her around them but she does love human affection.

Neytiri is a stunning young calico whose beauty runs far deeper than her brilliant patchwork coat. Weighing just 7 pounds, she carries herself with the grace of a feline queen and the quiet wisdom of an old soul. Her gentle nature has a way of soothing those around her—be they human or fellow feline. Recently, Neytiri stepped into motherhood for the very first time, embracing it with extraordinary love and grace. She’s been a fiercely attentive mama: calm, nurturing, and endlessly patient. Watching her care for her kittens is a moving testament to the strength and tenderness that defines her. But motherhood hasn’t dulled her playful spirit. Neytiri still delights in the simple joys of life—chasing after a ribbon, curling up in a sunbeam, or gently nudging her favorite toy across the floor. She’s affectionate without being demanding, wise yet curious, and always quietly attuned to the world around her.   Whether she’s snuggled beside you or softly purring from across the room, Neytiri has a way of bringing peace, comfort, and a little extra magic wherever she goes. She’s not just a cat—she’s a companion, a nurturer, and a soulful presence ready to make a house feel like home. ccrnewengland@gmail.com Our vetting is extensive: Spay, rabies, FIV vaccine, FIV tested and negative, fecal and dewormings and a Drontal  and microchipped.

Philomenia loves humans and will shower you with affection. She loves to wind in and out of your legs..  Philomenia also enjoys having a human companion to watch her eat (it's a perfect meal mate date, but you have to cover the bill).  She loves to play with toys and will sit beside you for a short time—just make sure not to rub her flanks. Like most cats, she loves treats, and she enjoys sitting on the back of the sofa gazing out the window.  This is the purrfect spot to watch the birds.  You'll often find her waiting patiently outside the bathroom door, respecting your privacy.  Philomenia definitely values her 'me time,' so she would thrive best in a home as the only pet.  This beautiful lady is ready for her forever home.  We hope it will be with you.  To be consisdered for her forever family please contact Critter Cavalry at crittercavalry@comcast.net or text 615-943-7311.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.    December 20, 2025, 12:12 am

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Neeko is a 3 year old female cat with a lot of personality. Here’s what her foster volunteers say about her: How would you describe the cat's general personality? Neeko has so much personality! She’s bold and a bit feisty and affectionate in her own special way. She loves to be involved and will often sit near you to watch whatever you’re doing, and she’s always rubbing on our legs (she’ll sometimes even stand on her back paws while doing so!).   Does the cat enjoy being pet? It takes her a bit to warm up, but she’ll eventually love head and chin scratches!   If yes, on what parts of her body does the cat like to be pet? Her head, chin, and ears.   Are there any parts of her body that the cat does NOT like being touched? She doesn't particularly like being touched anywhere besides her head area.   Does the cat come on your lap? No, but she may sit near us on the couch.   Does the cat like to be held? No, but she will tolerate it for a brief period, especially if you're wearing something soft!   Does the cat sleep in your bed? Yes, she loves curling up at the food of the bed on a soft blanket.   Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, she's always rubbing on our legs and rolling on the floor asking to play!   Does the cat like to play? Yes!    What are the cat's favority games and toys? She loves kicker toys with catnip and wand toys with a fuzzy target.   How vocal is the cat? What kind of sounds does the cat make? She's very quiet. She sometimes makes a tiny, scratchy meow that's so adorable, but that's very rare.   Does the cat scratch a scratcher? If no, please explain. She sometimes scratches on her cat tower (vertical scratcher).   Does the cat always use the litter box? If no, please explain.  Yes, and she is very neat about it! She doesn't spray litter everywhere as she cleans up.   What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? We give her about a quarter can of 5.5oz wet food twice per day with her meds mixed in, plus dry food always available.   Is the cat picky about food? Not really, but she definitely prefers pate.   What is the cat's favorite treat? She loves Temptations soft & crunchy catnip treats. One of her favorite games is when we throw a treat down the hallway and she runs to get it. Then, she’ll come running back like she’s playing fetch! It’s so cute!   Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? Yes, but she has been doing it less and less as time goes on! She gets in agitated/playful moods but is easily distracted with a toy (keep at least one toy in each room!).   Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Yes, but very rarely.   Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? Only a few times when we first got her. She always warned first by opening her mouth.   Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? No, although she has bitten in previous homes.   To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? She’s very social! She immediately goes up to anyone new and rubs on their legs. She loves to get all the new smells too.   If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? We have never seen her around other animals.   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? She has the most adorable little fangs that stick out even when her mouth is closed! And she has the cutest face you could never say no to. She also loves to sleep on cardboard, even if it doesn’t seem too comfortable... (she’s taken to laying on top of a partially open box). She loves it almost as much as she loves sleeping on soft things!   In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? If you’re looking for a little companion who wants to be near you (but is a bit hesitant about physical affection), she’s the perfect choice! She’s always curious about what you’re up to and loves to play. She’s unique and has a big personality, which we love about her!   What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? She has a lot of energy, which sometimes manifests in swatting (trying to “play” with you), so redirecting with a toy is very effective. We think all Neeko really needs is time and patience. She has made so much progress after just a few months of living with us. She’s a big sweetheart who just has a different way of showing it than most 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.  January 23, 2026, 9:14 pm

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Fallow is a 2 year old neutered male cat. Here’s what his foster volunteer says about him:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? Fallow is a very well tempered cat who loves enrichment through toys, food puzzles, and exploring my apartment, especially when I am home from work in the evenings! He sleeps and keeps himself content through out the day and would benefit from having an apartment or home to explore on his own terms! Does the cat enjoy being pet? Yes! If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Pretty much, everywhere! He doesn’t offer up his stomach often, but has also never pawed or nibbled when touching it. Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? Nope! Does the cat come on your lap? Yes, I am working on teaching him that pats on something mean come here and he’s starting to get it! Does the cat like to be held? Yes, from people he is comfy with, and only really when being held tight to the chest. Doesn’t like to wiggle in the air much. Does the cat sleep in your bed? No, he was a bit weirded out by beds at first but is starting to go on them when I am not looking. Does the cat seek your attention? Yes :) Usually for food if hungry or play if he is bored. Does the cat like to play? What are the cat's favorite games and toys? He does! He likes scratchers a lot, he loves to play with a wand toy and hunt and jump around, he likes to chase, but not really fetch. How vocal is the cat? He is vocal if he is hungry, wants to get in or out of a room, not often but occasionally will meow if he is bored and wants to play (or maybe not - but if I had just fed him and he wasn’t at the door - playing with the wand toy distracted him) What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Meows but kinda unique Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Yes Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Wet food ~3oz at Morning and Night (TikiCat/Sensitive Digestion) and Purina Pro Plan dry food throughout the day. Is the cat picky about food? No What is the cat's favorite treat? He likes Churu/any tube treats 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? He is curious and seeks some attention but is skittish at quick movements, so does best when it’s a calm environment for introducing folks. If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? I have not. His rescuer tried introducing him to her cats and that went well, so we think he might be OK with other cats given a slow introduction. Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? He’s got a funky meow. He really is into physical contact when it’s being held close to your chest while standing, sitting, or laying down. He moves around his toys and other items (bed, bowl, etc) most nights so every time I wake up they are *slightly* shifted in the room and it’s very funny to see the rearranging he did while I was asleep. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? He’s a just a great well-rounded cat! He loves to cuddle for a bit, play for a bit, and have independent time! He has never been aggressive in any way, is fine being picked up, eats well, drinks his water, and hasn’t made any big messes! I think he would do great in many kinds of homes. What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them He is a hungry boy and has relaxed a lot with a mostly regular feeding schedule and puzzle free feeding dry food all day. He likes to explore a lot so he would do best in an environments where he can explore. My roommates open their doors to let him in and sometimes he just sits in the doorway to be included in the fun.

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Cindy Lou is a gentle, affectionate senior cat looking for her final home. After thirteen years in a loving home, her owner had to go into assisted living and couldn’t keep Cindy Lou any longer. Lou Lou, as she’s affectionately known, quickly settled into her foster home and carved a place in her foster volunteer’s heart. Then, she started feeling unwell. A trip to the vet later and we learned that Cindy Lou has cancer in her abdomen. After some work with the vet, we’ve found a combination of food and low-cost medication that keeps her comfortable. Possibly related to her illness, she has on rare occasions defecated just outside the litter box, though she consistently urinates inside it. Her current foster volunteer says taking care of her is incredibly easy and “I feel so lucky to take care of her.” Now Lou Lou is ready for her final home, for however long that may be while she battles cancer. If you want a best friend in cat form, Cindy Lou is waiting! She loves helping out with chores, making sure you brush your teeth, and hanging out. And she doesn’t slack on her grooming either; if you bring out the brush she runs over! When friends come over she’ll say hi and may even pick favorites. But don’t worry, her main caretaker is always Lou Lou’s favorite. In fact, she’d probably be happy if it was just you and her most of the time. When she’s not by your side, you can find her enjoying the fresh air and people watching next to an open window. At night, she loves to sleep with you and may even get underneath the covers (you can only tell by her white nose poking out)! Do you love cuddly cats, want to be greeted at the door, and have lots of fluffy pillows? If the answer is yes then Cindy Lou would love to share the rest of her life with you.
