Story
My name is Froggy and this is my brother Tucker. Wait, maybe I’m Tucker and this is my brother Froggy. The thing is, we look so much alike, sometimes we can’t even tell ourselves apart. We’re both brown tabbies, about two years old, both larger than average, and we need a home with someone who will love us. We eat, play and sleep together. It took a while for us to open up but our personalities are shining through. We greet our foster mom at the door when she comes in and we’ll do the same for you if you adopt us. We’ll curl up with you while you watch TV, and at least one of us will probably be on your lap. Our favorite toys are ribbon and strings- knitters beware. When we are left alone, we play tag with the energy of two small tornadoes. Whoever adopts us will need to be patient with us, but we'll be worth it because we will love you for the rest of our lives. Our adoption fee has even been discounted to facilitate us getting adopted together.We are neutered males and our shots are up to date. We are being fostered in Revere.

Story
Our names are Aviva, Tova (girls) and Jaro (boy), three adorable siblings who are about two months old. Like most kittens our age, we're curious, playful, affectionate, and always looking for our next adventure. Whether we're chasing toys, wrestling with each other, investigating every corner of the room, or curling up for a nap, we bring plenty of fun and energy wherever we go. We are very social kittens who enjoy the company of both other kittens and the adult cats in our foster home. We love attention from people, happily soak up pets, and are always eager to make new friends. Our combination of confidence, sweetness, and kitten enthusiasm makes us a joy to be around. Because kittens thrive with companionship, we must be adopted with another kitten or into a home that already has a friendly cat or cat-savvy dog. None of us can be the only animal in the household. Whether we're adopted together or separately with another suitable companion, we're sure to bring lots of laughter, affection, and entertainment to our new families. We have easygoing personalities and would be wonderful companions for both experienced cat guardians and first-time adopters.We have been spayed, are current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. We're being fostered in Allston. A discount will apply for adopting two or more of us, although there is no expectation that anyone will adopt all three of us. We wouldn't object if that happened, though! If you're interested in any of us, click the button that says " Ask about us." It's right over there.

Story
My name is Tweety and I'm a 4-year-old tabby girl and I'm posted with my kitten pal Han Solo. I was surrendered by people who never bothered to take me to the vet, so, predictably, I had lots and lots of kittens, then they gave me up with having too many cats as the reason for surrendering me. I never learned what happened to my babies. I like to be around people, but I admit it takes me a while to get used to new ones. Certain behaviors, such as wariness at being approached for petting by hands coming from above, being even more startled than most cats by sudden noises and movements, or guardedness around feet, make my fosters suspect I may have experienced abuse in my past, such as by being struck or kicked, but I'm not telling. I'll admit, I was kind of a mess until Han Solo came around. He's only about two and a half months old and he kind of reminds me of my babies. I didn't like him at first, but it didn't take him long to win me over with sheer cuteness. I'm not as much a mother to him as I am a big sister. We run around and play a lot-- he's the perfect companion for me because I have a lot of energy also. I know I'm bigger than he is, so I'm pretty gentle and I seem to be doing a good job of it. We've become a bonded pair, so neither of us will be adopted without the other.There are a couple of very young children in my foster home. I would probably be OK adopted into a home with older kids but younger ones don't always respect my boundaries. I respond with a swat, but I don't actually try to hurt them. We have been spayed/neutered, our shots are up to date, and we have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. We're being fostered in Melrose. The total adoption fee for both of us is $325, which is putting us pretty cheap if you ask me. It's a huge discount. If you're interested in adopting us, click the button that says "Ask about us."

Story
Our names are Hamlin and Tango and we are two orange brothers only about 2 1/2 months old.  Everyone who sees us says that we are probably the cutest kittens they've ever seen and we're not going to disagree with that. We are two balls of chaos who love to run around and play with pretty much anything we can get our paws on. Everything we see is a potential toy. Like most kittens, we would do best adopted either with each other or into the home of someone who already has a cat or a cat-friendly dog, but neither of us are cut out to be the sole four-legged creature in anyone's home.We have been neutered, our shots are up to date, and we have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. We're being fostered in Allston. The total adoption fee for the two of us is $595. If you’re interested in adopting us, click the button that says “Ask about me.” It’s right down there.

Story
Our names are Reba and Laney and we are as sweet a pair of kitten sisters as you're ever likely to find. If we do say so ourselves, our photos hardly do justice to our overall cuteness. It took us only a few days to settle into our foster home. Our fosters say we are very friendly and have graduated to lap-cat status. We are a bonded pair, so we definitely need to be adopted together. We would do best adopted into an interactive home where we'll get lots of attention and play time. We like playing with the humans in our foster home, as well as each other. If you adopt us, someday you'll look back at it as the best decision you've ever made.We are 6-7 months old. We have been spayed. We are current on our shots and we have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. We're being fostered in North Reading.

Story
My name is Dragonfly and I'm a sweet girl about 4 years old. Despite my petite size. I've clearly got some Maine Coon in me, although I am certainly not full Maine coon. My foster mom says that I am the sweetest, cutest cat, And I'm inclined to agree. I do well with the other cats in the foster home, but I prefer to be with people once they have gained my trust. I'm a curious girl and I like to explore places, even if I've explored them before. I spend a lot of my time purring and playing because I have a lot of energy. You would have to be out of your mind not to want to adopt me. I'm a spayed female cat, my shots are up to date, and I have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. I'm being fostered in Winthrop.
