Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Brockton, Massachusetts

Hello my name is Lily. I am a very sweet but skittish cat. I am about 10 -11 years old. My human mom died on Christmas. My human sister comes to visit everyday and sometimes stays over with me. She already has way too many animals and it wouldn’t be safe for me. I’m a scaredy cat and I need to be the only pet in the house. I would like to be adopted by someone who knows a lot a cats so they would be experienced in knowing I need safety and security to become my true sweet and darling self. Once I feel safe and secure I love to play and be near you. Close enough to feel you but ready to run if I feel unsafe or unsure.

Cortland & Gala are a bonded mother-son duo. Gala is the gorgeous tiger momma and Cortland is the black medium-haired cutie. Their foster often finds them snuggled up together and Cortland follows his momma everywhere. Gala was found as a stray with her 3 kittens. From day one, she has been a great mom and she has doted on her kittens. Cortland is a sweet little boy who loves to play and snuggle with everyone. They do seem to be especially attached to one another, so we are looking to place them in a home together. Cortland has seen our vet and received age-appropriate vet care. Gala will see our vet on 9/21 to be spayed, but we are currently accepting applications for the 2 of them. Cortland & Gala are a pair, so they must be adopted together. Kittens are adopted quickly, and we typically receive many applications for each one, so if you are ready to adopt, please fill out the adoption application from this page: http://www.medfieldshelter.com/adoption-forms/cat If a cat or kitten is listed on our website, that means they are still available for adoption but there may be applications received ahead of yours. All adoption meetings are by appointment. Our kitten adoption fee (under 6 months) is $250 for a single kitten or $450 for a pair. The adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, microchip, testing for FeLV, and spaying/neutering when old enough. The adoption fee for Cortland & Gala would be $400.

Chilli is a sweet and young kitty who has been in foster care raising her kittens. Now that her kittens are old enough to be without her, and finding home of their own, it is Chilli's turn. We estimate that she is about a year old. She was found a stray with her kittens, so we do not know much about her history. Since she was a stray, she is highly food motivated and can be a bit protective about her food. For this reason, we do think she needs to be the only pet in her household. Otherwise, Chilli is an affectionate lady and she will often ask for our attention. She enjoyed exploring her foster home. Chilli is already up to date on her vaccines, but she will see our vet on Thursday 9/28 to be spayed. We are currently accepting applications for her. http://www.medfieldshelter.com/adoption-forms/cat If a cat is listed on our website, that means that cat is still available for adoption but there may be applications received ahead of yours and we do take them in order.

Skittish, cautious, playful when lounging, friendly (when feeling safe), and independent. Does the cat enjoy being pet? Probably.  It’s taken two months to gain his trust but finally I’m able to stroke the top of his head very gently with either my hand or a soft bristle “dusting” brush. Does the cat come on your lap? No Does the cat sleep in your bed? No, he has his own room and anyway the bed is off-limits. Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, he’ll quietly call out from the other room (his room) to try to get me to let him out. When I’m on the couch, he comes near and sometimes just stares up at me. Does the cat like to play?   Yes, he likes to scramble around after a treat when you throw it.  I think it’s his favorite thing to do in the world.  What are the cat's favorite games and toys? He loves when treats are thrown across the room and he has to go “hunt” for them. Also, he gets catnip time just before bed. How vocal is the cat? He hadn’t made a sound for 2 weeks after he arrived. I kept him on a routine with feeding where I call ‘Dinnertime!’ One day I heard him quietly call back “Meeeeeeeeep.”  We do this every night now. What kinds of sounds does the cat make?   Meeeeeeeeep.  That’s it. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? I think so. He scratches the rug until I tell him to stop. Does the cat always use the litter box? No, at first, he missed a few times.  I noticed that this happened when the box was already used. Getting a 2nd box helped. If no, please explain. He doesn’t have a problem using the litter box, but rather he intentionally, urinates outside his box.  He doesn’t spray, he just leaves a puddle.  See more in the ’Challenges’ Q&A below. Does the cat ever swat, scratch, or nip at you?  No. Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? He actually likes to watch TV. He plops right down in front of the screen and pays attention. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt?  He likes to be near and watch me studiously, but he doesn’t demand attention. He wanders, plays, sleeps, eats, and explores totally on his own. He seems unsure of what to make of petting.  I think it’s growing on him. He’s quite uniquely handsome even with his partial tail.  It’s like a cat with a deer’s tail. What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? Tank will take a considerable amount of time to feel safe and confident in his new home, but has shown such resilience during his time in foster. The bigger challenge is his urinating.  3 -4 times a week he urinates in his room, typically overnight. It seems to be mostly in the form of a small puddle of urine on something that is left on the floor.  On the other hand, each day, I let him out into the big room of the apartment and he’s free to roam play and do whatever he likes. In the big room, he hasn’t urinated inappropriately. So, based on this, I think he feels compelled (force of habit) to mark only his property. What do you think the cat's ideal living situation would be?   I think a place with people nearby that he can listen and watch but not where he’s constantly subjected to interaction and touching.  He should have somewhere where he can have a room (or a bit of “private property”) to himself.   He really seems to love predictable routines and structured attention.
