Story
Hi ... I am Milo, and a few days ago I was flown up from Ft. Worth Texas to find my forever home here in New England. We have no history for me, and I am a bit scared right now, having been through such transition over the past week. I will need a slow introduction to my new home, litter box, and any existing pets while I settle in and become comfortable in my new surroundings. The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 3:00pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

Story
Spayed FemaleAge: 16 YearsGray TabbyDomestic Short HairA440737 More about Destiny: I am a sweet, easy-going mature lady, and will make a mellow, low-key companion for my adopter. We have no history of what I might be like living in a home, but staff says I have been lovely since I have been here at the shelter. I will need a slow introduction to my new home, litter box, and any existing pets while I settle in and become comfortable in my new surroundings. I adjusted fairly quickly here at the shelter, but my adopter should take it slowly with me and give me time to settle in at my own pace. I am a senior lady and potential adopters will be given access to my medical records. The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 3:00pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

And I love playing with laser toys! I am super shy and sensitive, and will run away when I get spooked by people or loud noises, but will re-emerge when I feel safe and comfortable. I will do best in a low-traffic, quiet home with no shouting kids please!!!

Story
Spayed FemaleAge: 10 YearsBlack and WhiteDomestic Long HairA441072 More about Watermelon: I was an outdoor cat who transitioned to indoor/outdoor life, and most recently I have been living indoors. Overall I appear to be a pretty sensitive lady, looking for a quiet, low-traffic home without much transition. Expectations should be kept low that I will be outgoing and snuggly. I would appreciate a safe option for spending time outdoors, but this is not required with a cat-savvy adopter who can provide appropriate enrichment. I am easily stressed and overwhelmed during transitions, so I am looking for an adopter who is willing to give me as much time as I need to settle in ... this could be a couple of days or a couple of weeks. My ultimate success will be dependent upon how well my adopter is able to read and understand my body language. I should start in my own space ... an extra bedroom or bathroom ... where people and animals do not have access except to feed and clean. I should initially be left alone as I adjust. My space should include plenty of hiding spaces, ideally with access to vertical surfaces such as a cat tree or cat-proofed shelf, with easy access to a litter box, food, and water. I should not be approached for pets or to be picked up when I am hiding or showing fearful body language. Ideally, with enough time to myself to decompress and become comfortable in my new surroundings, I will begin to relax and move around more freely while my adopter is in the room with me. Only once I am confidently moving about my closed environment and I remain confident with relaxed body language when my adopter is in the room with me should I be given gradual access to more of the home. Meeting new people can be very overwhelming for me. It is possible I may only ever be comfortable with those in my small bubble. My adopter should be comfortable with a cat who may not ever want to expand their social circle. I should be given the option to stay in a different space when visitors come over. I should be thought of as a `pet themselves on you` kind of cat until I am comfortable, meaning I should always be allowed to initiate an interaction versus reaching out to pet me. Use `pet consent tests`. My adopter should have a relationship with a fear-free vet who can help my adopter come up with a handling plan that will reduce stress for everyone and keep everyone safe
