Story
Ollie is a beautiful, sunshine-loving adult cat who is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. We've had Oliver (formerly Frost) in our home for 4.5 years and he gets along okay with our Blue Heeler mix. He loves jumping into cardboard boxes, cat towers, toys, scratching posts, and sprinting around the house. Most of the time, he is sleeping in a closet or on the couch in an excellent loaf.He lived with a second cat in 2022 for a few months; he wasn't excited to be with another cat but was very submissive toward the other male cat. He will meow to tell you he needs food or water or wants to sit out on the enclosed porch, but has been an indoor cat since we adopted him.Oliver needs an indoor/outdoor home with plenty of space and a patient owner. He has had 3 episodes (over 4 years) where he showed excessive aggression and should not be in a home with children or elderly. Unfortunately we are no longer comfortable with the risk in our small space. We really want him to have a good home.

Story
Comet is a very affectionate cat and is ok with love and attention from people. He does not like any other pets in his space. *MUST BE ONLY PET IN HOME* Comet is a vocal guy and very punctual when it comes to feeding times. He likes to nap in sun and moon light but also under blankets or beds. Comet is a great cat for a family that is looking to have just ONE pet to care for and love on. *Current family/owners are happy to continue paying 2 mos of Banfield OTP (Optimum Wellness Plan) after rehoming.

Story
Tiramisu is a very friendly Domestic Shorthair. She is around 1.5 years old and she is a very social cat and loves interacting with people and other cats. She can be somewhat needy and wants attention but she is incredibly playful and non-aggressive in the slightest. Unfortunately my life has taken a turn and I am traveling way too much to give her the life she deserves and I want to find her a forever home.Feel free to email me at jon.rosum54@gmail.com or text me: 508-868-6011

Story
Jackie was adopted in 2019 and is 9 years old now. She’s an energetic, extremely loving cat that’s very devoted. She’ll run to chase treats if you throw them, and loves feather toys and tunnels. Her favorite things are soft blankets, warm laps to sleep on, and wet food. She never uses her claws on people or children and is very gentle. Needs-wise she has sensitive paws so prefers fine-textured litter like regular clay (she’ll use pellets or other bigger textures but won’t dig). She’s never gone outside of the litter box. She can only have grain-free foods or she’ll get GI issues. She’s not picky with food otherwise.
