COURTESY POST – Professor – Available for Adoption Professor was immediately very trusting and cuddly with his foster. He has been very curious and likes to be involved in everything you’re doing. LOL. He’s the sweetest cat and enjoys just snuggling with his human and being lazy, but he does play also. Professor is one of the chillest cats ever and would likely be okay with a friend or two after a proper introduction. Professor is approximately 1-2 years old, neutered, negative for FeLV and FIV and up-to-date on his vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting him, contact Boston's Forgotten Felines on Facebook or at catadoptions@bostonsforgottenfelines.org

Story
MEET KEVIN!*needs an animal play mate in the home*Kevin is a 12 week old high energy kitten with a condition known as Cerebellar Hypoplasia, (CH). This condition can develop when a Mother cat is infected with the feline panleukopenia virus while she is pregnant. This condition can range from mild to moderate to severe and can also be sporadic where some cats exhibit the symptoms on and off.Kevin has a moderate form of CH. This means he exhibits noticeable/disruptive jerky and uncoordinated walking, swaying from side to side and distinct head tremors. Although the condition itself doesn’t cause Kevin pain, accidents can occur as a result of his condition so special preparations need to happen in the home to keep Kevin safe and unharmed. He should not have access to stairs or elevated surfaces (without safety precautions put into place) to prevent falls. His movements often result in him hitting his head on various surfaces, so sharp corners should be buffed and his main areas should have soft flooring and walls if possible. His nails should be allowed to stay long so he can gain better traction and flooring should be carpeted to prevent him from sliding around when he walks and to buffer his inevitable falls.Kevin uses elevated food and water bowls that allow him to keep himself upright during eating/drinking since he “bobs” during feeding. His litter box has a low sided entrance on one entire side and tall walls on the other three sides which help him when he uses the toilet. Kevin is currently in a foster home with a dog, a cat and a rowdy child and plays with all of them. Ideally, he would have a playmate in his new home because he is VERY nippy during play and the best teacher of good manners is another animal. Some resources to review to see if living with a CH cat is right for you:https://kittencoalition.org/living-the-good-life-with-feline-cerebellar-hypoplasia/https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952907https://cats.com/cerebellar-hypoplasia-in-catsKevin is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY however, we are unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.For more information on this or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston please visit us during our adoption center hours: Wednesdays-Sundays from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, Tuesdays by appointment only from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, closed Mondays & Holidays.For information about our adoption process click here

Story
At just 7 months old, Coco and Zoe are two sisters with big hearts, gorgeous faces and absolutely no concept of personal space. These sweet girls were rescued at just three weeks old after their mama abandoned them, and they were raised as bottle babies. Coco sports two golden dots on her forehead, because apparently one wasn’t enough fabulousness for this family. Like her sister, Coco is extremely affectionate with people and loves being close to her humans. Zoe has one golden dot on her forehead and a heart that’s approximately 97% human attachment. Her dream job is full-time lap cat, and she is currently accepting applications for a human who can provide unlimited cuddles. If you’ve ever wished you could hire a tiny emotional-support team with whiskers, you’re in luck! If you would like to meet Coco or Zoe, please fill out the pre-adoption form at: https://ghettorescue.org/adopt/adoption-form-grff/
