Story
Teriyaki was adopted in late 2024. She is named after the takeout food I got after adopting her. :-) Her birthday is August 26, 2024 so she's about a year and a half old. She's due for annual shots, which I will take care of before re-homing. Unfortunately, both of my children and partner are allergic to her and I am relocating to a new home where my kids will be coming over much more frequently. She loves to cuddle and is gentle. She has never scratched or bitten me. She is very doglike when it comes to her toys and she plays fetch with a little green mouse that she's had since she was a baby. This is my first cat that brings a toy back to throw again. She's also very catlike with her energy, curiosity, zoomies, and climbing onto surfaces. She also goes crazy for a laser pointer. If desired, I can supply her litter box, litter genie, auto feeder, some food, water fountain, cat tree, her toys, and bed. I want to her to have the most loving and caring home possible.

Story
Marvin is a short hair domestic black cat. He is full of life, energy, curiosity, playfulness, and love! He craves his independence but will also cuddle up with you on the couch any given day. He's sweet, affectionate, and loves his humans. We adopted Marvin in the summer or 2021 and he'll be 5 this year. I have all of his original paperwork up to date vaccinations, and proof of him being neutered.

Story
Simcha's owner passed unexpectedly, and he and a second cat needed a new home on short notice. We've homed him for about six months now and are very fond of him, but ultimately he's too expensive for us (I was laid off a year ago now; any cat would be a lot, but he's a senior cat with a couple medications). He also doesn't quite get along with the other younger cat, which can be stressful. He's a real sweetheart, spends most of his days curling up and following sunbeams, though he does like to bother someone for some brushing once in a while. He's a little rickety and seemed quite nervous and solitary when he first moved in, but he's warmed up considerably since we've gotten to know him, especially since we got him to a vet and started managing his arthritis (I don't think he had great care in his previous home). We love him, but it's difficult to fit him into our lives right now, and we'd love to find him a home where he fits perfectly.

Story
Grey – Available for Adoption Grey is a 9-year-old male grey & white cat that prefers to be your one & only. He is very shy, but often comes out when people he is familiar with walk in the room - though doesn’t like to be approached quickly. He likes to be pet, can be picked up (to be moved, not held standing up - though he’ll sit next to people, and occasionally on a lap). He is food motivated, loves cat nip and is very interested in feather toys - though not ones that make noise. Grey along with his sibling Sweet Pea (who neither want to live with each other) were rescued by a good Samaritan after they ran out of a dumpster that was recently delivered to her Quincy home from Chelsea for a construction job. The pair along with a third feral kitten were trapped and vetted by BFF in 2016 and returned to the finder. Due to her recent passing, the pair are now looking for a new home (the 3rd cat is staying with the finder’s daughter.) Grey is approximately 9 years old, neutered and negative for FeLV and FIV. If you are interested in meeting him, contact Boston's Forgotten Felines on Facebook or at catadoptions@bostonsforgottenfelines.org

Story
Lucy – Available for Adoption Lucy was one of Joni’s cats. BFF needs to find purr’fect homes for all of Joni’s cats. She was named after one of Joni’s best friends. Lucy is a quiet cat that keeps to herself. In Joni’s words from 2024: “Black cats are awesome but I never had a desire for owning one. Of course doing rescue I've had many black cats and kittens. Love them all but my favorite has always been orange or tabbies. Well at night I sleep with 2 black cats on my bed and one on my bedside table that wants to get on the bed. How the hell did this happen? This is my Lucy Lu. Named after a very wonderful friend of mine who was frightened to death of cats. She too was black and beautiful. She passed away a few years ago about the time I rescued Lucy as a feral kitten and after socializing I couldn't let her go. My friend Lucy would be so proud to know I named my beauty after her. Lucy gets along well with everyone. She doesn't like to be picked up. Only bothers me at night when she flops her big ass self on top of me in bed demanding I pet her. Since Jojo has been gone, she loved Jojo, she at night in bed with us would groom him. Now she has become my new stalker. Nowhere as bad as my Jojo but she now craves more attention. Took over his spot on the table swatting my backside as I'm at the sink. I love this gorgeous black cat. Always have. I sometimes walk around house singing Lucy Lu I love you.” Lucy is approximately 6 years old, spayed, negative for FeLV and FIV and will be up-to-date on her vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting him, contact Boston's Forgotten Felines on Facebook or at catadoptions@bostonsforgottenfelines.org

Story
Wolfgang – Available for Adoption "Rescue animals aren't broken; they've simply experienced more life than other animals. If they were human, we would call them wise. They would be the ones with the tales to tell and the stories to write, the ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Don't pity them. Do something. Help a rescue. Donate. Volunteer. Foster. Adopt. But most of all be proud you have their greatness by your side." – Unknown We don’t know Wolfgang’s story, but we’re sure it was adventurous by the looks of him. He is now looking for his retirement home as he’s earned it. We haven’t tested him out with other cats just yet but he definitely loves his time with humans. All he is looking for is a couch and a lap. He’s not asking for much. We are still working on fattening him up. Wolfgang is approximately 10 years old, neutered, negative for FeLV and FIV and up-to-date on his vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting him, contact Boston's Forgotten Felines on Facebook or at catadoptions@bostonsforgottenfelines.org
