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
I adopted Dora 5 years ago from a physically abusive home. She is now 15 years old and is in great health for her age. The only issue she has is IBS which is easily managed by feeding her a digestive care/sensitive tummy food. She otherwise does not need special care. Due to her past and age, she will require a lot of patience for her to warm up to a new home and new person. Dora will need a quiet home with no children or other pets. She is solely an indoor cat - she has never roamed outside. She will need an experienced adopter who have handled cats with trauma. She can be aggressive when triggered, if you have any questions about this, please message me and I will provide as much info as possible. She has very sweet moments and a desire to connect, whether it's following you to every room, climbing in your bed at night or sitting in the general vicinity when you have company. She will need someone who doesn't travel often and is not planning to move any time soon.

Monty is about 6 months old he is very active loves to run out the door plays with kids however after being neutered still peeing wherever he sees boxes. He needs someone who will spoiled him he loves cuddles and preferably be the only cat I have an older cat in which he gets along but she being so old doesn’t like it.

Story
12-11-25 Maggy is a cute, chubby spayed female who had a life for years with a family who decided to up and throw her out. She was taken in by a veterinarian on the island they live on, and she became one of his favorites! She is spayed, up to date on shots and tested for diseases and parasites. She was thought to be 4-5 years old but upon examination by my vet here, looking at her teeth, he presumes her to be not over 3 years old. Maggy is lovely and sweet, wants a lap to lay on and purr and purr. We think she'd make a great only cat for an older person in a quiet setting. PLEASE EMAIL US FOR AN APPLICATION~!

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
