Story
I would like to use this only to mention that he deserves a better and bigger home, and plenty of friends and rehabilitation. he has only ever been in doors, i've taken him outside a few times, and does not get enough social interaction from other animals or humans. my life has become incredibly busy and it isn't fair to him to be alone all the time. i love him, at the same time i know that he isn't as happy as he should be. he is very good at vocalizing when he is hungry or wants to play, and although Alistair isn't much of a cuddler he can be very affectionate at times. I can go into more detail upon being inquired about his adoption.

Story
Meeka is a sweet and charming senior kitty, around 12 years old, who has mastered the art of being the purrfect companion. She's friendly and social without being demanding. You'll often find her snoozing contentedly at the foot of the bed, and unlike some cats, she's considerate enough to let you sleep in rather than demanding breakfast at dawn! Meeka does best with adults and older children, around age 9 and up. She's a cat who appreciates having her personal space respected and isn't a fan of being carried around like a rag doll. That said, she's patient and tolerant, making her a wonderful companion for respectful, cat-savvy kids. When Meeka first arrives in a new home, she will seek out a secret hiding spot given the chance. It's best to provide a safe space, giving her time to adjust, and when she's ready, she'll explore her surroundings and get to know her new family. Meeka isn't an overly playful cat, but she's still a cat and you'll have fun discovering what toys bring out the hunter in her. She's a lovely girl and her calm presence will bring a lightness to your home. If you're looking for a friendly, easy-going family kitty who enjoys human company, Meeka could be your match! Complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org if you'd like to meet her.

Story
Onyx (AKA Squid 🐙) is an extremely lovey and playful kitty. He would prefer to be adopted with his sister, Whispurr. He is an exceptionally loud purr-er! Though he might take a little bit to warm up to new people, once he decides he feels safe with you, he will want to be around you all the time. This 6-month-old baby loves to be held and petted everywhere. Onyx LOVES his toys and anything that makes noise. You may notice his toys go missing, only to find he has stashed them in a hiding place of his choice. He enjoys running and chasing things around the house, and is even getting decent at fetching items to keep the game going. Onyx can be found wrestling with his sister, Whispurr, and sleeping on the back of the couch above your shoulders. He can be jumpy when it comes to loud noises and dogs, but he seems open to trying anything so long as he can be sure he is loved and appreciated in the process. If you want to meet Onyx (and Whispurr), complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.

Story
Meet Teddy! 🐾 Originally from Puerto Rico, Teddy is a sweet, friendly little guy with a big personality—and plenty to say! This handsome boy loves to talk, filling the room with his adorable meows whenever he has something to share. Teddy is curious about the world around him and loves lounging in the window, watching all the action outside. When he’s not keeping an eye on the neighborhood, you’ll find him playing with wand toys and catnip toys or climbing his cat tower. He loves to climb and pretend he’s a fierce little jungle cat! But Teddy’s favorite place is wherever his human is. ❤️ He’ll meow to get your attention, then lean right in for pets and cuddles. He’s perfectly happy settling beside you on the couch, keeping you company. And if you’re lying down, his favorite spot is on top of a cozy blanket, tucked right between your knees. At night, he’ll even burrow under the covers and sleep at your feet. Teddy has a healthy appetite, is easy to medicate, and is the perfect companion for cozy evenings and late-night TV binges. 📺❤️ If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, chatty companion with a playful side, Teddy might just be your guy!

Story
Meet Eaves and Edge, a handsome bonded pair of 5½-year-old brothers who are ready to find a loving home together! These sweet boys may be a bit shy at first, but give them some time and a quiet place to settle in, and their sweet personalities will shine. Eaves and Edge take turns being the brave one, exploring their surroundings and showing each other that there’s nothing to be afraid of. If they get separated, they’ll call out to make sure their brother is never too far away. It's adorable! These two love chasing imaginary prey, enjoying the occasional zoomie, and pouncing on wand toys. Eaves especially takes his hunting duties seriously and will proudly carry his prize away to enjoy all by himself. When playtime is over, you’ll find these brothers curled up together or cozied up right next to you, happily asking for pets. Their close bond, gentle nature, and playful antics make them a wonderful pair for someone looking for two loving companions. Eaves and Edge are looking for a quiet, patient home where they can settle in at their own pace and continue growing into their sweet, affectionate selves. They’ll reward you with plenty of love, cuddles, and entertaining adventures! If you'd like to meet Eaves and Edge, go to queencitycatsvt.org and complete an adoption application.

Story
Kelly is a 5-month-old girl with a beautiful coat and a sweet but sassy personality with just the right amount of tortitude! She might act a bit coy and reserved at first, but once she feels comfortable, her fun side really shines. Kelly loves playing with her cat friends, especially her former foster sibling, Kennedy. She's discovered that life is pretty good when you’re safe and loved. Kelly’s journey began when she was just 5 weeks old. She was found all alone under the shelves in the garden section of a Home Depot in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. She was scared and crying loudly, and employees said that she had been returning to the area after being put outside. Thankfully, she was found by someone who had everything needed to bring her to safety. Kelly is now ready to find a loving forever home where she can continue to blossom and grow. She is sure to bring plenty of spunk and love to her forever family. If you want to meet Kelly, complete an adoption application at queencitycatsvt.org.
