Story
Quint will make you work for his attention and love. But, it’s worth the wait. He’s mostly lazy and independent, but will not hesitate to invade your personal space when he’s ready for attention. His a big cat, so seeing him act like a kitten is a rear treat. He is playful and really likes playing with small objects he finds on the floor.

Story
These are my sweet boys Onyx and Chai! 3 years old I've had them since they were 2 month year old kittens! They love cuddles and are a friend to everyone around them. Sadly I am unable to take care of them due to my schedule and relocating in the near future. I want them to have a sweet loving environment, playtime and great care. I do hope to have some type of contact with there new owners just for check ins and to see how they are doing as I will miss them. I am open to negotiating the fee!

Story
Xavier is unlike any other cat I've had before; he is extremely affectionate, curious, and playful. He plays mainly with toys and does not scratch or bite when playing. He's the type of cat to not understand personal space, meaning he will look to rub his head against your face when your laying down, and love to cozy up next to you when sleeping. Xavier is originally from Puerto Rico and moved to Cambridge on January 2026. He is about a year old and has now experienced the full extent of the seasons. He seems to be more partial towards cooler weather and loves to stare out the window at passing people, animals, and cars.I do have to disclaim that currently Xavier is suffering from medical condition which is the reason I'm trying to rehome him. If you're interested in Xavier please reach out and we can talk so more!

Story
Hello! This is my darling cat Ivie! Ivie is around one and a half years old and he is hands down the sweetest, silliest and most inquisitive cat everrrr. He will literally never leave your side (especially if you have food cuz he's big like that), constantly runs up to rub and greet you and your friends and is very curious about the outside world. He eats pretty much anything; he isn't picky at all and he adjusts to situations quite well. He can be a bit shy at first, but eventually, when he feels comfortable enough, he is super willing to show you unconditional love. Unfortunately, he has a bit of a pee problem and pees in spots he's not supposed to sometimes. However, this happens when he's stressed or has an unclean litter box. He gets along well with cats and people who like him. He's not aggressive and will never really strike first unless intimidated or as self-defence. He's the best cat this universe has to offer, and I hope he finds a new home that is full of love and light.

Story
Kiyoko is a pandemic cat, so she’s very people-oriented and loves attention. She’s extremely affectionate once she bonds with you, but like most cats, she comes on her own time and needs her space respected at first. She can be anxious around other animals, vets, and new people, especially if they move too fast or invade her space, but she is genuinely very sweet and loving once she feels safe. She just needs a patient and calm environment to open up. She was my emotional support animal in college, and even my roommates, who she didn’t like at first, eventually fell in love with her. It was definitely an enemies to lovers situation. She loves watching projectors, sleeping by your feet, and sitting with you while you get ready in the morning. Due to ongoing allergies and some health issues, I’m no longer able to care for her the way she deserves, so I’m looking for a safe, loving home where she can feel comfortable and cared for.

Story
Pepper is around 4 years old. She is very friendly and playful. She loves to be pet and is great with other cats. We are sad to be rehoming Pepper but we recently became new parents and Pepper has been exhibiting signs of stress ever since we brought baby home and we aren’t unable to give her the same amount of attention and care. We would love someone with experience with cats previously to take her and love her like she deserves.
