Story
Majic is a beautiful, gentle boy just over 2 years old with a story that tugs at the heart. He arrived at the shelter after being left behind in an apartment with his brother, Panther. Understandably, he’s a bit shy and nervous in this new environment, but underneath that uncertainty is an incredibly sweet and loving cat waiting for the right person to help him feel secure. Majic has previously lived with both cats and dogs and has done great with them, making him a wonderful candidate for a home with other calm, friendly pets. And while he and Panther aren’t considered a bonded pair, the two brothers share a strong connection and would be more than happy to start their new life together if someone can open their home to both. Majic is considered a special-needs adoption because he has a heart murmur. At this time, he appears comfortable and unaffected, but he will need monitoring for symptoms such as coughing, exercise intolerance, or difficulty breathing. An echocardiogram and a cardiology consultation should be discussed with your veterinarian to fully understand and manage his condition. Majic is ready to put his past behind him and begin a new chapter with someone kind, loving and devoted to giving him the safe, happy home he deserves. Could that someone be you?Apply for him today at capeannanimalaid.org/cat app

Story
Meet Sophie! This little lady loves chin scratches and head rubs. She is very affectionate and loving but can get a bit overwhelmed with pats so a home where her boundaries are respected and understood would be best. She`s a very sweet girl, but emotions can be hard sometimes and she handles it the only way she knows how. Someone who is knowledgeable of cat body language and is patient enough to give her space and time to acclimate on her own would be perfect. Sophie would thrive in a calm, single-resident or single-couple home, as we don`t feel she would do well with children or in a high-traffic household. Sounds like somebody you could love? Sophie is now part of our extended stay program and her adoption fee has been reduced!Fill out an application today!Apply for Sophie today at: capeannanimalaid.org/catapp

Story
Meet Pikachu! This handsome cuddlebug is all about the love. Soft, sweet, and endlessly affectionate, Pikachu lives for cozy moments, gentle pets, and anyone willing to give him the attention he adores. He’s the kind of cat who will make you feel appreciated every single day. Pikachu is FIV positive, but don’t let that scare you away—cats with FIV can live long, healthy, happy lives with good care, a safe indoor environment, and plenty of TLC. And trust us, love is one thing Pikachu has in abundance. Pikachu is currently enjoying a prescription diet to help manage some occasional loose stool, something that’s not unusual for cats experiencing the stress and excitement of shelter life. He isn’t bothered by it at all — he’s happy, comfortable, and full of love. We don’t believe this will be a long-term need, and once he’s settled into his new home, his digestive system may naturally even out. He’ll go home with a supply of his current prescription food, and after chatting with your veterinarian, you can likely transition him gradually to a regular diet. With a little stability and care, Pikachu is expected to do wonderfully. If you’re looking for a gentle soul who will brighten your days and fill your home with warmth, Pikachu is ready to light up your life.Apply for him today at capeannanimalaid.org/catapp

Story
Meet Oberon! This handsome young guy is a shy soul who’s still learning that people can be safe and gentle. In his foster home, he prefers to keep a little distance at first and is still pretty timid around people. But with patience and a calm approach, he’s already showing signs of progress.Oberon enjoys wand toys, absolutely loves treats, and will even take them right from your hand. He’s had moments where he relaxes into gentle petting, showing that he does want to trust — he’s just not fully there yet. His foster family reads to him, plays soft music, and gives him the quiet support he needs while he learns at his own pace.Oberon will do best with an understanding adopter who’s willing to give him time, space, and lots of patience. If you love helping shy cats blossom and find confidence, Oberon could be the perfect match for you.Apply to adopt Oberon: capeannanimalaid/catapp

Story
Meet Hollingsworth! This perfect gentleman is two years old and was a local stray from Lynn. Hollingsworth is purrfectly content spending his days lounging around in his cat bed watching the world go by. He`s been in foster before with kids, where he was a little weary of the new environment, but is a generally happy guy who loves to play with his mice toys as well as bat around an occasional feather toy. He would do well in a quieter place where he can take his time learning about his new home and forever family. He also had been with another cat named Gus, who he did very well with. Hollingsworth wouldn`t mind going to a home where there is another cat friend, or someone who will spend time getting to know him. He can be a total love when given a chance, and is waiting for the right one to come along and show him a whole new world. Want to meet Hollingsworth?

Story
Looking for a kitten who’s equal parts chaos and charm? Milo is your guy! This adventurous young cat is always on the go — chasing toys, exploring every corner, and keeping life exciting from sunrise to bedtime. He’s friendly, fearless, and full of personality, the kind of cat who makes every day a little brighter (and a lot more fun). Milo is sweet and affectionate, but his enthusiasm sometimes shows up as playful love bites, so he’s best suited for a home without young children & preferably ages 12 & up. If you already have another confident, playful cat, Milo would probably love the company — though he’s just as happy being the center of attention. He’d thrive in a cat-experienced home where his energy can be channeled through play, enrichment, and a bit of structure. Smart, social, and strikingly handsome, Milo is ready to find a family who will celebrate his adventurous side and love him for the big-hearted goofball he is! Milo has been added to our extended stay program and has a reduced adoption fee. If this cutie sounds like what you`ve been looking for, apply online today!
