Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Agawam, Massachusetts

Meet Miss Baby! Miss Baby is a 2 year old ball of fluff who is ready to get out of the shelter and into her next home. Miss Baby's previous person described her as a lap cat who loves treats and to be with her person, giving them kisses whenever she can. Here in the shelter Miss Baby has been having a pretty hard time, in her next home Miss Baby will need a lot of time, patience, and her own set up/space so she can go through this transitional period and slowly start to show you her true self. Miss Baby has experience with young kids and has previously lived with another cat, as long as the steps to getting her adjusted to the house are taken and she is given all of the time she needs, we think Miss Baby would do well living in this kind of environment again! The only very hard no for Miss Baby? NO DOGS! Miss Baby has decided that dogs are not friends of hers anymore and she would like her next home to be canine free. Miss Baby is looking forward to meeting you and, hopefully, coming home soon! Ready to Adopt?

Meeko is a sweet senior gentleman who’s been through a lot of change in his life and is now looking for a calm, understanding home where he can finally settle in and feel safe. He previously lived in a quiet home with another cat and would do best in a similar peaceful environment with a slow intro if you have other pets. At first, Meeko may be a bit nervous with new people—and that’s okay. He just needs a little time and patience to adjust. With his favorite people, Meeko will lean in for soft head pets, rub against your legs for attention, and chat away with his adorable, talkative nature. He’s the kind of companion who will happily lay beside you on a chair, making sweet little air biscuits as he relaxes by your side. Meeko is a laid-back, affectionate companion who will thrive with someone willing to go at his pace and give him the time he deserves to blossom. Because Meeko is a bit on the chubby side, he’ll need some help with regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and comfortable. A little brushing and TLC will go a long way in helping him feel his best. If you’re looking for a quiet, devoted buddy and have a soft spot for senior cats, Meeko just might be your perfect match 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?
