Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

She came from a broken, abusive home where a child broke her tail. She arrived at my house as a baby, skittish and scared. Now she's almost 15 years old. She's not a lap cat, and she used to be aggressive, but then I got her fixed, and now she's a whole different cat. She's loving, but it takes her a while to warm up. She's not good with kids, and normally will run and hide if anyone new comes into the house. She is very loving and looks for attention when she gets to know you, which doesn't take very long. She has some sort of PTSD! Other than that, I wouldn't say it's a good idea to pick her up, but she looks for love and will come to get pets from you. She definitely favors women over men. I have two teenage boys, and she loves them, so maybe not all men. But if any man walks into my house, she'll run and hide and won't come near them for a while. She has hyperthyroidism and I can’t afford it anymore!

Tina

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tina is originally from somewhere in Texas. I know that because the shelter I adopted Tina from, Northeast Animal Shelter, told me as such. She is now 2.5 years old and I need to say goodbye to her due to a big relocation coming up. She's a fine cat that is not easily disturbed and generally relaxed around people. She hasn't been around other cats or kids but I'm guessing she will be alright around them. She is however quite naughty and will always have unspent energy. I suppose that is to be expected from a cat that is still very young. I'm sure you will have a great time with her.

Minerva

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 11 mos

Wakefield, MA

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

A lovable girl who will make a great companion, Minerva is a sleek young classic tabby, so beautiful you’d swear she’s a CGI. While in PAWS care, 10-months-old Minerva gave birth to two adorable kittens who have since found their furever home, and after being such a caring and dutiful mom, she is ready for her own 'happily ever after.' An independent, sensitive girl who needs a moment to learn that you’re a friend, Minerva is fairly small, extremely athletic, very fit, and loves to play with dangly toys or cat dancers. She can be feisty with other cats, and she has not had any experience with dogs, so Minerva will do best as a solo pet. This confident cat knows what she wants and prefers attention on her own terms; but, once she’s settled in, she won’t hide under your bed; she likes to be where the people are. She enjoys the company of humans, and, once she knows you, will contentedly take a snooze on your lap. If you are willing to allow Minerva to set the pace, you will be rewarded with the company, and perhaps the affection, of a lovely, enigmatic little spirit who dances to her own tune. Minerva appreciates time to adapt to new places and would feel most comfortable in a quiet, adult-only home. Are you ready to let this kitty steal your heart? Apply today and we’ll contact you to discuss and make introductions.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Chess, an adorable 1-year-old bundle of love who is at the Kitty Cat Cafe in Peabody This fluffy tuxedo was rescued as a stray in the same area that Ms Suits, a fellow cat at the cafe, used to live. This shy boy prefers to rest inside of his comfy bin at the cafe, snoozing away the hours. He can be quite shy and jumpy, so he can take some time warming up to strangers. After he does, he’ll waste no time activating his purrs and showing off his luxurious belly! As soon as you give him a few pets, this adorable boy will begin to make biscuits on his special blanket or even in the air! Chester can get a bit feisty if given too much love, and is most comfortable if he can sniff your hand before you touch him. He prefers light pets and mild face rubs as supposed to hugs or any other rough play. Much like some of the other cats in the cafe, Chester can easily fall for some delicious Churu treats!

Pam

Domestic Shorthair

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Every cat deserves a good home - is yours the right one for Pam and Flo? This bonded pair of felines is ready to find their permanent one. Flo, a luxurious soft gray, and Pam, midnight black, both with beautiful green eyes, are 8.5-9 yrs old. They met in a shelter, where they spent a long time, and are quite timid. They're good cats and would love a quiet home (no kids, no cats or dogs) where they could have their own space to enjoy the sun and lots of naps. Pam and Flo are perfectly happy just to keep one another company and do not seek out petting or laps. As their photos show, sometimes they're velcro kitties, and sometimes they want their own space. They need lots of time to build trust with their caregiver, one who will be patient and kind and understanding as they slowly settle in. Their foster mom lovingly refer to them as “my decoratives”. Do you know someone who whose home would be perfect for them?
