Domestic Longhair kittens & cats in Massachusetts

Bubbles is a spayed female about 12y/o and comes as a bonded pair with Mac, a neutered male about 10y/o. These were my daughter's cats and since moving into an apartment that doesn't allow animals, she's left them with me. Bubbles is a sweet girl, always uses the litter box, and is very good with my dogs. She's pretty quiet, keeps to herself, but is definitely not skittish. She and her companion Mac, stay indoors during fall and winter, but they do go out in the warmer weather. They are happy either way, as long as they have a sunny window to look out. They graze on dry cat food and water (which are always out for them) and are never have accidents outside the litter box. Both cats are excellent with dogs. I have two golden retrievers and am a senior with health issues, so I've got my hands full. I am looking for a good home for the two cats and I am willing to provide a negotiable stipend for vet care and supplies. Just want them to go to a good home.

Goose cam to us with 4 other cats. We do not have any past info on him. The neighbor found him outside and brought him to us. He is shy here but hopefully once settled into a home his personality will shine. The cat you are adopting is very shy. Patience and a gentle approach will be necessary to form a bond and help this cat feel that they are safe in their new environment. This means that the cat is likely to not want to interact with you at first and will need time to settle in and relax. It is likely to take weeks to months for this cat to become comfortable in your home. Even once settled, they may always be a shy cat who runs from visitors. In order to have the best chance at creating a lasting bond with your new cat, you must go at their pace. When you get home, this cat should be set up in one room of your home, with a door that will stay shut while the cat adjusts. They should be offered a variety of foods and plenty of appropriate hiding places to help them feel safe during this transition. The cat should not be let out of their room until they seem like they are making progress and seem to want to explore more of the house. Ready to Adopt?

Fluff came to us as a stray along with two other cats, so her past is a bit of a mystery. At the shelter, Fluff is on the shy side and can be a little reserved as she adjusts to all the new sights and sounds. With time, patience, and a calm home, Fluff is expected to warm up and let her personality shine Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully. Ready to Adopt?
