Story
Hello! Our names are Louie and Petunia (Tuni for short) and we are bonded siblings that must be adopted together! Louie is a male with mostly dark patches and Tuni is a female with a lighter stripes pattern. At this time, we are six months old and looking for our furever home! We are house trained and are scheduled to be fixed on 6/3. We love playing with our toys and each other when we’re not snoozing & snuggling! Let us know if you think your family and home would be purrrfect for us!

Story
I got Loki from a Facebook group for rehoming cats. He just turned 7 in April. His birthday is April 14th, 2019. Loki currently lives with other cats and he does alright. However, he gets jealous of other cats getting attention. Due to his jealousy he does start little fights with my other cats but he has never hurt them. I do think he’d do best in a single cat household but it’s not a dealbreaker if you have another cat. He is super loving and sweet but is very codependent. He meows/whines when I leave for work or go to the bathroom. 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 and especially hates being in a cat carrier making vet visits very difficult. Loki is litter box trained but requires a clean litter box at all times. Loki is difficult but overall an amazing cat. I wouldn’t be rehoming him if it wasn’t my only option.

Story
Ojinji is hanging out in one of our fabulous foster homes. So we know him quite well. He's a sweet cat who loves people. He's very affectionate and often comes over first to rub against your legs and meow for attention. He really enjoys being around people and may feel lonely if left alone for long periods. When he feels comfortable, he likes to nap close to you and may rest a paw or part of his body against you. Ojinji also loves sitting by a safely secured open window and watching birds or animals outside. He sometimes makes cute chattering sounds while watching them. Ojinji can get overstimulated when he becomes too excited. He is not aggressive, but he may need space and quiet time to calm down. He would do best with an experienced cat owner who will understand his body language and will give him space when needed. The best home for Ojinji would be a quiet one, with no other pets.

Meet Max — your future lap cat extraordinaire 💙 Max is the total package: playful, affectionate, and seriously committed to his favorite hobby—curling up in your lap. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch or stretched out in bed, Max will happily trot over and settle in for snuggles. It’s basically his superpower. This gorgeous gray boy is as social as they come. He loves people, bonds quickly, and thrives when he gets lots of attention and companionship. He’s currently living with a child and does great, making him a wonderful addition to a loving home. Max also has a soft spot for the cozy life—think plush beds, couch naps, and his cat tower throne. And yes, he’s a foodie at heart, so mealtime is always a highlight of his day! At just under 4 years old, Max has already overcome bladder stones and is now feeling great after surgery. He’ll need to stay on a prescription urinary diet for life to keep him healthy, so his future family should be committed to that and have a good relationship with their vet. Max is ready to bring love, warmth, and lots of lap time into your life. To meet this sweet, snuggly boy in his Waltham foster home, fill out a quick pre-screen here: https://bit.ly/3yRGpMD

Story
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. Stormi is currently in one of our wonderful foster homes, where she is slowly settling in. 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.

******UPDATE*****Seven Lucky Kitties – Looking for Their Second ChanceThese seven beautiful cats survived a devastating house fire in Worcester, and every single one of them is a true survivor. They’ve been through something no animal should ever experience - smoke, chaos, fear, and sudden loss of the only home they knew. Some have small burn injuries, all are still learning to trust again, but each one has a spark of bravery that’s beginning to shine through.Right now, they need gentle, patient adopters who understand that healing takes time. Soft voices, slow movements, and a calm environment will help them blossom into the loving companions we know they can be.Although they previously had indoor/outdoor access, we are seeking indoor-only homes to keep them safe as they continue to recover and build confidence.They can be adopted in pairs or individually. Also, resident cat who is kind, calm, and nurturing could be a wonderful match with a slow introductionNo dogs, please they’ve been through enough stress.Children are welcome if they understand quiet, patient, respectful interactionsA spare room for a slow introduction would be necessaryMeet the Seven Lucky Kitties: UPDATES!!!!
