Story

Cindy is a pretty calico girl, about a year and a half old, who was rescued as a frightened, hungry, abandoned stray. Her foster gave him the time, patience, and gentle reassurance for her to understand that humans could be trusted sometimes, and her affectionate nature has emerged. Now, Cindy enjoys being pet, loves to play, and will happily curl up by her foster mom. She still has a sensitive side and would do best as the only cat in a calm, understanding home where her person will let her continue growing in confidence. We haven’t seen her around dogs or children yet, but we believe she’d likely do well with respectful kids and dogs who know how to interact gently with cats. Cindy would do best in an interactive home where she isn’t left alone for long hours. She should be adopted by someone experienced enough with cats to understand that she will need patience, but that patience will pay off. Whoever is fortunate enough to adopt this little girl will gain a devoted companion for life.She has been spayed, is current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. Her adopter will receive her medical records. She’s being fostered in Cambridge. Adoptions are facilitated by video meet-and-greets, as well as in-person visits. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee, which helps us continue rescuing cats in need. In Cindy's case, that adoption fee has been reduced by more than half to a mere $95-- a bargain for a new best friend. Cats can live past 20 years, so please consider whether you can commit to providing a safe, loving home for life before adopting. Please email Safercats11@gmail.com and say a little about yourself and the home you would provide. Doing so helps rescuers match cats with the right adopters. Including your phone number is likely to result in a faster response.

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

Story

Sprinkle is a pretty long-haired girl whose magnificent fur proclaims that she is a Maine coon mix (although her size doesn't). This 15-year-old sweetheart lost the only home she had ever known when the person who meant the world to her passed away. Despite her loving, loyal nature, no one in the family was willing to give her a home for her remaining years. Sprinkle's foster can tell you how warm and affectionate this little lady is; she enjoys being pet and will happily curl up next to you with a contented purr. We haven’t seen her around other cats, dogs or children yet, but do well with all of those given proper introductions. (Will gladly give you pointers on that.) Sprinkle would do best in an interactive home where she isn’t left alone for long hours. Whoever is fortunate enough to adopt this little girl will gain a devoted companion for life. Sprinkle seems like an easy cat who would be suitable for a first-time adopter.She has been spayed, is current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. Her adopter will receive her medical records, including a recent exam and blood work. She’s being fostered in Boston. Adoptions are facilitated by video meet-and-greets, as well as in-person visits. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee, which helps us continue rescuing cats in need. In Sprinkle's case, it has been reduced to a mere $35-- a bargain for a new best friend. Cats can live past 20 years, so please consider whether you can commit to providing a safe, loving home for life before adopting.

Freya

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 1 yr 3 mos

Wakefield, MA

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Looking for a fun-loving companion? Meet Freya, a 1yo friendly, curious, playful, chatty girl who will thrive with pet-aware kids! This sweetheart is a true bundle of joy—she loves playtime and rocketing around the house chasing her wand toy, and, when tuckered, will drag it into another room to save for when the zoomies strike again. When not playing, Freya enjoys snuggles and a lap nap. Her favorite pastimes are watching birds through a window and perching high up (naps on top of a wardrobe or bookcase are ideal for her); however, this energetic adventurer would love a cat tree to call her own. Freya has recently decided that Temptations treats are the best, both as a perfect pre-meal and afternoon snack. The limit of how many she would like does not exist and she will ask specifically for some if you walk by the bin where they are stored. Freya is curious and friendly, yet cautious with new people, but her caretaker believes she will adapt quickly to a new family. Freya is special-needs, as she is FeLV+, a virus that may affect a cat’s immune system, but that doesn't slow her down a bit! With good nutrition and regular veterinary care, FeLV+ cats often enjoy a high quality of life for many years. Freya is looking for a loving home as the only kitty, or with other FeLV+ feline friends; she is perfectly safe to be with humans and dogs. Freya is ready to fill your home with laughter and more love and she cannot wait to meet you! Complete an adoption application, today, at pawswakefieldma.org and we’ll be in touch soon.

Pam

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 10 yrs 5 mos

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?
