Story
Puck is 14 years old and still going strong. We got him from a friend back in 2012 along with his sister. He and his sister used to stay upstairs and our dog downstairs, but he lost his sister recently and he wants to be downstairs with us but unfortunately we have to rehome him because our dog Rex is too aggressive with him and he's not safe with him around. He's very shy and may take a while to warm up to you, but is very affectionate once he does. He would not do well with a dog in the house unless the dog is very quiet and gentle, and would probably be ok with other cats but he's only known his sister so we're not sure. He does use the litter but will sometimes pee in the bathtub as an alternative. It would be great to know he's going directly to a loving home rather than take him to a shelter to wait for adoption.

Story
Bonded Brother Cats Seeking Loving Home Meet these beautiful five-year-old brothers—one black, one gray—looking for their next family. Both are healthy, long-haired, and weigh about 12 pounds each. Personalities: The black brother is playful and loves to be petted. The gray brother is more reserved but equally affectionate, with an especially rumbly purr. They enjoy the occasional wrestling match together. Both are great with children and people of all ages. We would love to keep them but are moving and unable to bring them along. Hoping to find them a wonderful home—ideally together.

Story
Dorian is a handsome six-year-old prince with an outgoing, delightful personality — he is endlessly entertaining. Dorian is neutered, microchipped, house-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. He has lived successfully with children, dogs, and other cats and adapts well to loving & engaging homes. Dorian is affectionate, curious, and extroverted. He enjoys being part of daily life, exploring his surroundings, and interacting with his humans. He’s athletic and playful, which makes enrichment and bonding especially fun. He balances his adventurous nature with genuine sweetness and affection (such a snuggle bug!). Dorian thrives in a home where his humans are around often and enjoy close interaction, including sharing space and sleeping areas (he wants to be in your lap or snuggled against your side). Ideally, his human spends a lot of their time in their home. Dorian is currently companion to Luna (see her profile) & I want to see them stay together.

Story
Luna is a beautiful 12-year-old cat with striking blue eyes and the silliest little tail. She is spayed, microchipped, and an indoor-only cat (declawed on all four paws by a previous owner). Luna is in good health and due for a routine vet visit & vaccines. Luna is incredibly sweet, gentle, and deeply people-oriented. She loves rubbing up against her humans, curling into deep snuggles, and sleeping on the pillow just above your head. If she’s closed out of a room, she’ll softly protest with the cutest high-pitched cry—she simply wants to be near you. She also enjoys playtime and lights up when engaged with toys. She has lived harmoniously with other cats, dogs, and children. Luna thrives in a home where her humans are around often and enjoy affection, cuddles, and close companionship (sharing a pillow close!). Ideally, her human spends a lot of their time in their home. Luna is currently companion to Dorian (see his profile) & I want to see them stay together.

Story
Yoda was born in 2013, so she's not on the younger side if that's what you are looking for. I adopted two cats from the shelter years ago. Yoda is the one up for rehoming. She had a sweet personality at the shelter but because she turned out to be the smaller one, she has lived a life of getting bullied by the other cat and personality really doesn't come out unless she's by herself in a house without other cats. She is a typical shy type of cat but will cuddle and sleep with you if you don't have other cats or if you sleep by yourself without a partner. No other behavior issue, tends to need a litter box with high wall, haven't seen any scratching behavior on furniture for years with her. Tends to be sneaky and try to sniff food on your table if you leave the room.

Marie

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 4 yrs 6 mos
Brighton, MA
Size

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Marie had a brutal start to her life. First, her previous owners ignorantly declawed her, opening her up to a lifetime of discomfort. Then they decided they didn't want her any longer without any reason given, and tried to get her euthanized. The shelter saw what a sweet and healthy cat she was, and Marie was rescued and put on the path to find her real home. Marie likes other cats and loves to cuddle and be brushed. She's looking for a family that understands she might have some sensitivity in her front paws and a little difficulty getting around the way a cat with all their claws would, but that none of what happened to her was her fault. Marie deserves all the love she has been denied so far.
