Darrell

Domestic Shorthair

Male, 13 yrs 7 mos

Swanzey, NH

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

Darrell came to MHS as a stray, but he clearly shows signs of having lived in a home before and may have simply wandered a little too far. Despite the unknowns in his past, Darrell is a gentle, affectionate senior who would likely do well in many different home environments. He has a calm, easygoing nature and prefers spending his days napping in cozy spots. In the mornings, he can be a bit vocal when he’s ready for breakfast, but once he’s fed, he happily settles back down for more rest. His sweet demeanor makes him a wonderful companion for someone looking for a laid-back, loving cat.Darrell is declawed, so he will need to remain an indoor-only cat and be given time to adjust to his new surroundings. Because he came in as a stray, slow introductions to other pets or children are recommended, but once settled, he would likely do well with other cats, dogs, and respectful kiddos. Darrell has been nothing but friendly and affectionate with staff and has shown great potential to thrive in a quiet, loving home where he can feel safe and cherished.

Comet

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 1 yr 6 mos

Swanzey, NH

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

Comet is a quiet, independent girl who prefers to experience the world on her own terms. Naturally reclusive, she’s happiest observing from a safe distance and taking in her surroundings rather than seeking hands-on affection. She would thrive as an indoor spirit cat, where she can feel secure while still having an important job to do—Comet has the instincts to be an excellent mouser and would take that role very seriously. With time and patience, adopters are welcome to gently work on socializing her, but it’s important to appreciate Comet for who she is and understand that she will likely always retain some of her independent, spirit-cat nature.Comet would do best starting out in a small, quiet space with easy access to food, water, litter, and a secure hiding spot where she can decompress. Older kids are recommended, as she values her personal space and does not enjoy being approached too quickly or unexpectedly. She may coexist well with another calm cat or a cat-savvy dog who respects boundaries. Once settled, Comet could also be a great indoor/outdoor companion when the weather is warmer, making her an ideal match for someone looking for a low-key, low-pressure feline presence who adds quiet companionship and purpose to the home.

Nilly (Spirit Cat)

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 2 yrs 3 mos

Swanzey, NH

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

Nilly is a quiet, reserved girl who’s still learning that people can be kind and gentle. She came to MHS after not getting along with other cats in her previous home, and while she’s still quite shy and undersocialized, we believe there’s potential for her to slowly come out of her shell with the right person. Nilly will likely always be more of an independent “spirit cat” — one who enjoys her space and may show love in subtle, quiet ways.She’ll need a calm, patient home with no other cats (though a respectful, cat-savvy dog may be okay) and older kids who understand boundaries. Starting her off in a small, quiet room with cozy hiding spots will help her feel safe as she adjusts. Nilly has had a tough start, but with kindness, consistency, and time, she just might surprise you with how much she opens up — one gentle pawstep at a time.

Parker (Spirit Cat)(FIV+)

Domestic Shorthair

Male, 5 yrs 2 mos

Swanzey, NH

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

Parker is a quiet, thoughtful boy who has already made impressive progress in his time at MHS. Once very feral, he has begun to trust the people around him and now allows gentle, slow pets from those he feels safe with—an important milestone that speaks to his potential. Parker is learning that humans can be kind, and with patience and consistency, he is likely to continue gaining confidence in a home environment. He prefers to move at his own pace and will need adopters who appreciate subtle wins and understand that trust is something he gives slowly but sincerely.Because Parker is FIV positive, he will need to remain an indoor-only cat, where he can stay healthy and safe. He may do well with other calm cats or cat-savvy dogs as long as introductions are slow and respectful to prevent stress or conflict. Parker would benefit from starting out in a small, quiet space with access to food, water, litter, and a secure hiding area where he can decompress and observe his new surroundings. He also has great potential as a low-key pest control cat, offering purpose and presence without demanding attention. For someone willing to give him time and understanding, Parker could be a deeply rewarding companion who continues to blossom in a stable, loving home.
