Story
Cleo is a charming little Maine Coon with an adventurous personality and a curious mind. She loves exploring new areas and can spend ages investigating toys, boxes, and anything else she finds interesting. She’s also very affectionate once she settles down and enjoys relaxing close to the people she trusts. Cleo would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a playful kitten with plenty of character. 🌼

Story
Meet Autumn Joy! Autumn Joy is a gorgeous young girl with a gentle heart who is slowly learning that people can be pretty wonderful. She is very shy at first, but underneath those nerves is an incredibly sweet kitty whose personality is starting to shine more each day. The way to Autumn Joy’s heart? Patience, yummy treats, and a feline friend! 🐱💕 She absolutely loves other cats and takes a lot of comfort and confidence from having them around. As she begins to trust her people, she enjoys being pet and is showing us just how sweet she can be. She does prefer to keep all four paws on the ground, though, and is not comfortable being picked up. Autumn Joy is looking for a quiet, cat-savvy home with a friendly feline sibling who can help her feel safe and show her the ropes. Her new family will need to be patient and allow her to build a relationship at her own pace. We hope that with time she’ll form a wonderful bond with her people, but she will likely always be a girl who prefers to hide away when visitors come over—and that’s perfectly okay! She’s still settling in, but Autumn Joy is beginning to show us that she may be ready to meet the special people willing to give a shy girl a chance. We’re hoping she’ll be ready to head home next week - just in time for a cozy fall with her family! 🍁 Needs: 🐱 A friendly feline sibling to help her feel safe and confident 🏡 A quiet, predictable home 💕 Patient, understanding people who will let her set the pace 🧀 Plenty of yummy treats to help win her over 🐾 A family comfortable with a kitty who may always be shy, especially around visitors

Story
Meet Willow & Molly! 💕🐾 Willow and Molly are two beautiful 2-year-old sisters looking for their next chapter together! These girls have been side by side their whole lives—they play together, sleep together, and take comfort in having each other nearby. They have never been apart, and we would love to see this sweet sister duo head home as a pair. 💕 Molly is the more affectionate social butterfly of the two. She is a true lap cat who loves attention, being petted, and hanging out wherever her person is. She'll happily settle into your lap for some quality time and loves being part of whatever you're doing. She also enjoys cat springs, fuzzy balls, treats, and, of course, spending time with Willow. 🖤 Willow is the quieter, more independent sister. She can be shy around new people and may prefer to watch from a distance until she feels comfortable, but with the people she trusts, she is sweet and loving. She enjoys sitting in your lap, soaking up pets, lounging in sunny spots, and watching birds through the window. When she's had enough attention, she's perfectly happy to find a cozy spot nearby or go play with Molly. Both girls have grown up in a quiet home, so they may need a little time to adjust to new people and surroundings. They've had limited experience with children and no experience living with dogs. A patient family who will give them time to settle in and let their individual personalities shine would be a wonderful fit. These sisters really complement each other—Molly brings the cuddles, Willow brings the quiet sweetness, and together they make one very lovable little family. If you've been thinking about adopting two cats, Willow and Molly might just be the perfect pair to fill your home with twice the love. 💗

Story
MEET STARLIGHT!Starlight is a friendly former stray who has had some challenges but come through them. She spent some time in one of our foster homes where she reportedly slept with her foster parents and generally wanted to be near them. They said `she is really the sweetest girl and we loved having her!`During her vet exam, Starlight tested positive for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). FIP is a serious disease associated with feline coronavirus infection, a disease once considered almost invariably fatal. With a recent groundbreaking medication development, FIP is now treatable and often curable. Published treatment success with the new medication often exceeds 90%. Since completing treatment, Starlight`s clinical symptoms and bloodwork abnormalities associated with FIP have resolved. At this time, treatment completion cannot guarantee that the disease will not recur, though it is unlikely. FIP is not transmissible between cats.Starlight 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, Tuesda
