To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Gamma (male tabby with stripes), Rho (male tabby with swirls), Sigma (female, black with green collar), Tau (female, black no collar) and Zeta (male, black and white) are kitten littermates born approximately 12/20/2025. They either need to go home with a sibling or have another energetic pet in the home. Here's what their foster volunteers say about them:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? Gamma: Very friendly little guy who loves pets and lots of attention. Has a BIG purr and isn't afraid to use it to earn him more pets!   Rho: Very sweet, loves attention too (just not quite as much as Gamma) and gives the most adorable gazing look of love to us. Likes to bop noses with us. Enjoys a lot of playtime. Sigma: Can be a bit timid at first but is a complete snugglebug once she knows you. She just melts in your lap with purrs. Loves to play too! Tau: She’s a hot ticket! The most independent of the bunch, Tau likes to set the pace of interactions with humans. She loves a belly rub but also has a signature “hiss” when you approach her unexpectedly which is sooooo cute!   Zeta: Also very sweet but quite goofy. Likes attention, but prefers to be next to you than on your lap. Strikes the most ridiculous poses. Loves a belly rub. Does the cat enjoy being pet? YES, all five love to be pet. Gamma is so in love with petting he'll climb on his siblings when you're petting them to get pet himself.   If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Everywhere. All enjoy a belly rub – Tau the most so, and Sigma the least. We've made a lot of effort to rub their paws so that they're used to having them touched.  Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? Nope!   Does the cat come on your lap? Yes, all five will climb on our laps when we're sat on the floor. Rho and Gamma will climb all over us, including our shoulders. Zeta likes to be next to us on the floor more, but will come on our laps still for attention. Sigma settles in for the cutest snuggles, and Tau likes to climb over our legs pouncing on her siblings’ tails.   Does the cat like to be held? The boys do, especially Rho and Gamma. Sigma and Tau can be easily held when close to the ground, but aren’t so sure if you’re standing up.   Does the cat sleep in your bed? They have not been given the opportunity to do so, as they stay in the kitten room. But I bet they'd like to do so if given half the chance!   Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, yes and more yes! Gamma in particular is quite attention loving, but all five enjoy attention. Does the cat like to play? Yes! What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Spring toys are a big favorite, as is romping with each other. They enjoy chasing a wand toy, particularly Rho who gets good air to his jumps. Zeta is coming along with the jumps as well. How vocal is the cat? What kinds of sounds does the cat make? They meow at wet food time (fed twice daily). Otherwise, Gamma and Zeta have loud purrs, Rho and Sigma have a softer purr. Tau does not audibly purr. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Not yet that we've noticed, but they aren't bad about scratching the furniture either. Since they’re still so little, they sometimes use their claws to jump up into the chair, but not like you would use a scratcher. Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes, never had any accidents. A funny fact is that Rho likes to use the bathroom promptly after every meal. They are all very good at covering up in the litter box. What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Free feeding dry food (Purina kitten) and twice-daily wet food (Fancy Feast kitten pate). Is the cat picky about food? Not at all - they are very good eaters. What is the cat's favorite treat? Churu! Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? Tau likes to bat at our extended fingers, which is very cute. But none of them swat in an aggressive way. Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Only unintentionally when climbing on us and because they have sharp kitten claws.  Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? Zeta and Tau can be a bit play-nippy, but we’re trying to train them out of this by redirecting to a toy. 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? We're working with them on this. We’ve only had a couple of visitors so far, and they are getting better at coming out, especially Rho who is the new-person ambassador of the group. Gamma and Sigma have been held by new people, while Tau and Zeta hold back more. We have more visitors planned in the coming weeks and are also working on getting them used to hearing voices over the phone.   If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? They've met one of our resident cats and that went great. They rubbed noses with him. Zeta was particularly curious about our adult cat. Does the cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions?   Tau: Loves to pounce on other kittens' tails. It's really cute!   Rho: Seems really obsessed with human faces. Wants to give nose bobs/face rubs and stares adoringly at us.   Zeta: Sometimes falls off our laps because he has no sense of his personal space and strikes the silliest of poses. Sigma: Has the cutest half asleep eyes when she’s snuggling in with us. Gamma: Likes to supervise the preparation of breakfast and dinner. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt?   They are a great group of sweet kittens. They've been remarkably tidy and are very loving/sweet kittens. It’s been so special watching them discover toys and learn to play, and discover how much they enjoy petting! What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them?   They came to us from outside, where they were living under someone's house in snowy conditions. We've focused on socializing them - the tabbies set the pace, Zeta trotted right along, and now the girls have found the joy of cuddles. Showing them love, affection and giving churu really helped to bring them out of their shells.   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.  March 7, 2026, 12:45 pm

He also may nip if he has been petted for a while and gets overstimulated. Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)?

Whenever he sees a hand reaching toward him, calling him, he never fails to come over and rub against it. He’s also a very curious cat. He loves to follow you around the house and investigate whatever you’re doing. It’s the cutest thing when he tilts his head to the side and watches you closely, trying to figure out what you’re up to. Thanks to his curious nature, he picks up on associations pretty quickly, and learns that doing one thing will lead to another. He also adores brush time! When I hold up the brush, he meows and comes over, and rubs his head all over the brush. His tail vibrates when he is being brushed, which is super cute.

He currently receives 3 units of insulin twice a day, about 15 minutes after his meals at around 9 AM and 9 PM. Fortunately, giving him insulin is extremely easy, and he is also very understanding of blood glucose testing times. Patchouli is very cooperative with his shots and clearly understands they come after his mealtime. He stays completely still while I administer them and never protests or flinches.   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.  March 7, 2026, 9:02 am

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Quincy is a handsome 6 year old neutered male cat, up to date on vaccinations. Here’s what his foster volunteer says about him:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? After getting to know you in the first few days, he is extremely relaxed while simultaneously being very inquisitive and playful. He mostly sleeps during the day, coming out a few times to play or eat. He likes to sleep in dark rooms if there is a comfy place, but will sleep in the open if there is no bed in a dark corner for him. His inquisitive nature means he will try to get into any nook and cranny that he can – on top of cabinets and tall furniture. If he can find a way to get there, he will. Does the cat enjoy being pet? He does, but at the beginning you will need to wait for him to ask to be pet. And when he does, he can also decide rather abruptly that he doesn’t want to be pet and will bite or swat, so it is best to be aware of his behaviors while you are touching him. As he gets more used to you and you to him, he will relax more and the only time you really need to be cautious is when he’s stimulated/playing. If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Chin, behind the ears, and down his back. Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? He does not like being pet on his belly or focused attention on the spot where his back meets his tail. Does the cat come on your lap? Yes! Does the cat like to be held? When he is first getting to know you, he doesn’t want to be held, but as he gets more comfortable around you, you could pick him up and hold him so that he is perched over your shoulder His surrenders mentioned they could pick him up, but that it might take a bit longer before his new owners are able to do so. Additionally, when you start picking him up, you need to do so with confidence and don’t hesitate because he will pick up on it and try to keep you from picking him up. But once he’s perched over your shoulder, he doesn’t mind it. Does the cat sleep in your bed? Yes! He will sleep right next to you or around your feet/legs, often in the crook of your knees or between your legs. If you sleep next to a body pillow, he might also place himself between you and the pillow. When he sleeps in the bed with you, he will make it his mission to make sure he is touching you or on you. Does the cat seek your attention? Yes! Particularly when he wants to play or when you wake up in the morning, he may want some scratches. If he’s lounging in his bed and you call for him, he’ll also sometimes come. Does the cat like to play? Very much! What are the cat's favorite games and toys? He likes wand toys, mouse toys, and catnip pouches. He also likes interactive ball toys. How vocal is the cat? He will talk to you, but he isn’t overly chatty. He mostly talks when he wants to play or wants food. What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Upon first introduction into a new environment without people he knows, he will growl, hiss, and maybe yowl at night. After he trusts you, he will make mostly short meows – not quite chirping, but similar. He purrs, but you can hardly hear it. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Yes – he will also scratch any rough fabric surface he can get a grip on, so be sure to have enough scratchers. If no, please explain. Does the cat always use the litter box? So far, yes. His surrenders mentioned that his box should be cleaned everyday or he might decide its too dirty and go on the floor, but so far he has only used his litterbox while being fostered. If no, please explain. What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Half a can of Purina ProPlan chicken (the shredded version, not pate) in the morning, and half at night. Maybe about 2 handfuls of dry food to snack on during the day, and at at night. A few pieces of Hill’s prescription dental cat food are included with the dry food once a day. Is the cat picky about food? According to his surrenders, he prefers chicken flavored food and does not like wet pate. What is the cat's favorite treat? He loves the squeeze treats (including fish flavored varieties), and dry treats, too. Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? Yes. When he first moves into a new space without someone he knows, he will be very scared and one of the ways this manifests is by hissing, swatting, and growling. To avoid swatting, it is best to give him a lot of space to be in, and when y’all cross paths, let him pass first before continuing on. Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Yes – the first day he moved in and not since. This was his response to being very scared at being in a new environment without anyone he knows. Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? Yes, he will do little nips if you let him smell you and he decides he doesn’t want to be pet. Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? Yes. When he gets stimulated, either while playing – or from petting – he will rather abruptly turn and bite. They are hard bites, so they break skin, but he doesn’t bite for longer than about 2 seconds. If you give him a firm no, without freaking out or pulling away, he should let go. Its best to be hyper aware of him when you are engaging in any way with your hands, even when he is rubbing his face all over yours. To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? If there is someone he trusts/knows, he is social – he will come out and say hi and he might even sit on their lap. The same awareness to petting should be imparted to guests. If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? I have not observed his interactions with other animals, but according to his surrenders he did have a feline sibling at some point and he has not reacted with hostility to the smells of other cats. Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? He loves rolling around on carpeted surfaces, will rub his face in your hair whenever he’s sitting behind you, and will make biscuits when relaxed. He also boot scoots after using the litterbox frequently, but not every time. Sometimes, when he gets zoomies, he likes to almost be chased. When he gets like this, I’ll just move a little quickly towards him. He’ll either stay and accept head scritches, or he’ll run to a new spot and wait for you to chase again. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? After first getting to know you, he is an EXTREMELY sweet cat that just has some touch sensitivities when he’s stimulated. It will seem like he hates you at first – you just need to be patient and wait until he asks you for pets. If you want a cat that will spread out across your torso when relaxing on the couch or a warm furry friend next to you in bed, he will be all of those things. What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? The biggest challenge is his biting and the only way to manage that is to stay aware and to constantly be reading his body language when you are petting him in any way. Other than that, if you have plants he will want to eat them and he is very determined to get to them so you’ll have to be creative to keep him from getting to them. I’ve found the best way to do this is to put it up really high and to block off any access by creating height or the illusion of height to keep him from jumping up to it.    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.  March 7, 2026, 9:02 am

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Midnight is a sweet, playful, and affectionate 5-year-old cat who has been through an incredible journey of resilience. After surviving a dog attack that left her with nerve damage and incontinence, she has adapted beautifully with the love and care of her foster family. Her tail had to be amputated, and she now wears a diaper that is changed several times a day, along with a few diaper-free breaks. While she does need some extra care, her condition is manageable (Midnight has learned to thrive in her routine) and she's ready to bring her joy and companionship into a forever home. What makes Midnight so special is her wonderful personality. She is a friendly and social cat who bonds quickly with people—even on the first day she met her foster family, she jumped into their laps and gave kisses. She loves being petted on her cheeks, head, and belly, and happily curls up in laps many times a day. Though she isn’t fond of being held, she adores closeness and even tries to sleep in bed with her humans. Midnight is also very playful and clever; she loves toys, especially chasing and gathering them all together, and she makes her needs known with a soft, sweet voice. Her silly “supergirl” sleeping pose—stretching her legs straight behind her—never fails to make her foster family laugh. Midnight isn’t just loving with people—she even enjoys the company of dogs and gets along well with other pets, making her a great fit for an animal-loving household. She’s a little picky with food, preferring salmon and pate flavors, and she absolutely can’t resist Churu treats. While her incontinence means she doesn’t use the litter box, she has adjusted beautifully to wearing diapers and continues to be gentle, affectionate, and easy to love. Midnight truly has the heart of a survivor and the spirit of a best friend. She is affectionate, loyal, and fun, with endless love to share. All she needs is a family who is willing to look past her challenges and see the amazing, one-of-a-kind companion she is. By opening your heart and home to Midnight, you won’t just be adopting a cat—you’ll be giving a brave and wonderful soul the happy ending she deserves.
