Story
I am an international student, and my family’s financial support for Delilah/Zhenzhu has ended. I do not have stable long-term financial resources to cover her ongoing diabetes care, as well as other medical expenses she may need in the future. I am hoping to find a home that can reliably provide that care. Delilah/Zhenzhu is an 8-year-old, spayed black Domestic Shorthair. I adopted her from Best Friends in 2024. She is very friendly and affectionate with people, including visitors, and loves being petted. She is calm, enjoys a quiet spot by the window, and has had no litter-box accidents in my home since adoption. Delilah has diabetes and is prescribed insulin twice daily after meals. She needs an adopter who is prepared to continue her medication and veterinary care. Possible asthma has been suspected, but it has not been evaluated or diagnosed. Her medical records and medication information are available. A calm home and careful introductions to other pets would be best.

Story
Charlie is a smart, affectionate, playful four-year-old orange tabby who loves exploring and sleeping beside his person. After an unsettled start, I adopted him from a Taunton, MA shelter in December 2023. He is neutered, has tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia, and receives regular veterinary care. Charlie needs companionship, stimulation, and a predictable routine. He can become anxious when alone or when routines change, and sometimes reacts aggressively. I've worked with my vet and animal-care professionals to support him, but my work keeps me away 8–9 hours daily. His ideal home offers an experienced, patient person who is home often, interactive play, and safe daily outdoor time through leash walks or a secure enclosure. He should be the only cat; compatibility with dogs is unknown. This decision is heartbreaking. Charlie will stay with me until I find a safe, loving home that understands his needs.

Story
Meet Minou! Minou is a 3-year-old male cat who came into my life as a gift when he was just 3 months old. He is an indoor cat who loves to sleep, relax, and observe the world around him. He’s very curious and enjoys going on little adventures, so I take him out in his cat backpack at least once a month. He usually prefers to stay safely inside his bag, although he may venture out when he’s in the car or at a quiet park with no other people or pets nearby. Minou is also very affectionate! He’ll happily greet you at the door and roll onto his back, waiting for his favorite belly rubs. Although he enjoys exploring and seeing new faces from a distance, he can be shy around strangers in his home. When someone new visits, he’ll usually find a quiet hiding spot until he feels comfortable enough to come out on his own. He is a loving companion who will follow you around the house. He enjoys affection on his own terms and appreciates having a safe environment.
