Story

Sneezy is a sweet, playful little girl who is a bit shy. She is bonded with her sister, Happy, and they must be adopted together. Sneezy is a bit shy and will take some time to warm up. She needs a patient adopter and a calm home that will respect her quieter demeanor and allow her to feel safe. Once she warms up to you, she is very affectionate and playful. Her foster mom writes, " It will take some time for them to warm up to you but when they do they will love you. They love running around and playing and they love to cuddle with you on the bed. Laying with me and purrrring is their favorite thing 🩷🩷" The total adoption fee for Happy and Sneezy together is $500.

Story

Ava is beautiful MHD who is ready for her forever home! She is very sweet great with other cats, and is affectionate. She would be great in a quieter home setting not a lot of high energy around the house. She loves pets and snuggles and of course being pampered with treats She was found abandoned with another cat , people moved and left the cats behind, really sad but we see that a lot in rescue.

Apache

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 1 yr

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Apache came to us through animal control along with several other cats, so we don’t know much about her life before arriving at the shelter. What we do know is that she’s a friendly, playful girl who is ready to start her next chapter. Apache enjoys spending time with people and is always happy to accept some gentle pets. She can be a little rubby, happily weaving around you and brushing up against your legs when she wants attention. It’s her sweet way of saying hello and asking for some love! This playful girl enjoys staying active and would likely appreciate toys and interactive playtime in her new home. Since we don’t know much about her past living situation, a slow introduction to new spaces, people, and any resident pets will help her settle in comfortably. If you’re looking for a friendly, playful cat who will greet you with little rubs and lots of personality, Apache might be the perfect match for you! Ready to Adopt?

Shelly- In Foster!

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 2 yrs

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Shelly came to us as a stray alongside another female cat, Gale, who is also up for adoption. While we don’t know much about her past, we’ve seen that Shelly is a very sweet girl who just needs a little time to feel safe. Change can be hard for her, and she may be shy at first in new environments. She would do best with a slow introduction to her new house, giving her a smaller, quiet space at first to adjust and build confidence. We also recommend gradual introductions to any other animals in the home to help set her up for success. Once she settles in, Shelly has so much sweetness to offer Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully. Ready to Adopt?

Madonna (Spirit Kitten)

Domestic Longhair

Female, 1 yr 2 mos

Springfield, MA

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We looked outside our kitchen window one afternoon a couple of months ago to find this gorgeous little floof sunning herself on the hood of our car. We put out food for ferals (and get them fixed!) but we had never seen her before. Upon investigation, she was clearly feral but young enough that we could trap her and bring her inside. Madonna is what is known as a Spirit Cat: she was born outside and had no human contact in her critical first two months, leaving her wary of humans. She is not aggressive and is tolerant of human company, frequently climbing on the bed with me or approaching me curiously. However, she is skittish around people, does not like to be approached, and will probably never be a lap cat. She absolutely loves other cats and would be a great companion for a young playful cat or kitten who is in need of a friend. She would love to find a home with her friend Noel, also a Spirit Cat, and we would offer a discounted adoption fee to an adopter willing to take them together. However, Madonna would do well in any calm, patient home with a playful cat and without young children. She would be perfect for someone who already has an affectionate lap cat who is lonely and looking for another cat to play with. Madonna is so beautiful that simply admiring her from a distance makes us all feel honored! She is a long-haired beauty who has some Ragdoll features. May 18, 2025, 8:58 pm

Story

Noel is what is known as a "Spirit Cat." This means that she was born outdoors and did not receive human contact in her first 2 crucial months of life, making her wary of people. She is playful, curious, and comfortable in a house but she may never be a lap cat. Seh like to jump up on her foster mom's bed while her foster mom reads before bed but will not yet let any people touch her willingly. Noel loves other cats and needs a cat companion in her home. She would love to be adopted with her friend Madonna, another Spirit Cat in her foster home, and we would offer a discount for adopting both together. However, Noel would do well in any home with a young, playful cat (she really loves her foster home's pet cat and cuddles with him whenever she has the chance). Noel would be great for a home with a cat who is lonely and in need of a friend, with adopters who are looking for a low-maintenance cat who needs very little from humans. Noel is exceptionally beautiful, with a very unique and pretty swirly pattern. May 19, 2025, 5:24 pm
