Story
I got Loki from a Facebook group for rehoming cats. He was the smallest kitten in the bunch. He just turned 7 in April. His birthday is April 14th, 2019. Loki currently lives with other cats and he has some issues with my roommates cat but is okay with my other cats. I do think he’d do best in a single cat household but he would adjust to any home. He is super loving and sweet but is very codependent. He can be very vocal at times to get attention. He loves being pet but prefers you hold your hand in front of him and he’ll rub his head on it. Once’s he’s comfortable with you, you can pet him normally. He hates car rides so he needs gabapentin when being transported. Loki is litter box trained but he is particular about wanting a very clean litter box. The automatic ones work very well for him. Overall Loki is an amazing cat and deserves a loving home. I wouldn’t be rehoming him if it wasn’t my only option. He will need time to adjust to his new home but he will be the best companion.

Story
Sammy, mostly likes to relax around the house. He loves attention when he wants it. He will come to you if left alone. Unfortunately, not good with children. But would do well in a home with a calmer adult. He also is a great mouse hunter

Story
Are you looking for quiet companionship? If so, Stormi may be the one for you. Stormi is currently in one of our wonderful foster homes so we know her very well. Her foster mom says she's a quiet cat who likes napping near her, is curious when visitors come by and loves her catnip. (Check out the video of her playing with a catnip toy!) She isn’t a lap cat yet, but she does like head pets. She uses an upright scratcher and scratching pads. Stormi’s story starts out a bit sad. Her family moved but couldn’t take her with them. In that home, Stormi was described as loving and affectionate! So she’s looking for a fresh start with someone who is patient and can let her settle in at her own pace. If you have a quiet home and would like to give Stormi her happy ending, we’d love to have you meet her in her Cambridge foster home.

Story
Meet Trouble, A Special Boy for a Special Feral-Cat Person3 months oldMale/NeuteredAdoption Fee: $350Trouble is not your typical kitten and that is exactly why we are looking for someone who understands feral and fearful cats and knows that trust cannot be rushed.At just 3 months old, Trouble is a beautiful little boy who is still learning that people can be safe. He is nervous and partially feral, and he needs an adopter who understands that his progress may look very different from that of a typical social kitten.If you have ever loved a feral or semi-feral cat, you already know what we mean. You know that sometimes love means sitting quietly across the room. It means talking softly when they won`t come near. It means leaving treats and walking away. It means reading a book while they watch you from a hiding place. It means celebrating the first time they stay in the room instead of running away or the first time they allow you to get just a little closer.Trust is earned. It cannot be demanded.Trouble may eventually become a wonderful, affectionate companion. He may discover that he loves being petted, sitting beside you, or even curling up in your lap. But we cannot promise that. He may always be a more independent cat who shows his affection in quieter ways.He may hide when visitors come. He may spend much of his time observing from a safe place. He may become your nighttime companion, quietly appearing when the house is peaceful.And for someone who understands feral cats, those moments can mean everything.The person who understands that a frightened kitten isn`t being difficult, he is communicating that he needs to feel safe, who won`t force him out of hiding, chase him for affection, or expect him to become a different cat overnight.Instead, you`ll give him a quiet room. A predictable routine. Gentle voices. Patience. Space. And most importantly, the freedom to decide when he is ready.Trouble`s ideal home is quiet and calm, with no other pets and no small children. An adopter experienced with feral or unsocialized cats would be wonderful for him.If you`ve worked with feral cats before, you know that the smallest breakthrough can feel enormous.That is Trouble`s journey. And we`re looking for someone who wants to take that journey with him.If you`ve had feral cats before, if you`ve socialized shy kittens, or if you understand that som

Story
Meet Fawn Female/Spayed Age: 5 Years Old Adoption Fee: $50 Fawn is a very special girl in need of a person who is dedicated to helping a cat that that has some medical problems. Fawn, has Feline leukemia virus positive. There are many different manifestations of feline leukemia, but Fawn likely has a `progressive` infection as she was positive on our testing. This means she is: Shedding the virus in her saliva and will become ill at some undetermined point in the future. The virus can lead to various syndromes, from cancer to immunosuppression and secondary infections. I will be imperative that any abnormal symptoms noted in Fawn are reported to the adopter’s vet immediately so that they can get her treated for it ASAP. There is no way to cure feline leukemia; we can only manage all its side effects. Fawn should only go to a home that either has no other cats or just cats who are also leukemia positive Are you a person who will love and take care of this beauty even though she may have some bad days ahead. She really is lovable and would more than love and appreciate leaving the shelter to be in a home where she can be comfortable. Special arrangements can be made to meet this little girl. Please contact me, Kim at cats@worcesterarl.org to set up a meeting.
