Story
Pluto was adopted by my brother, 2 weeks out of the litter. He only provided basic provisions like feeding her, giving her a littler box and affection. This did not include any vet visits, I got her spayed at 3 years old, her only vet visit. This was not the right home for Pluto. She was kept mainly in his room, my mother didn’t want a cat and constantly spooked her or got loud with and shooed her aggressively (never physically hurt her) to try and get her to stay off of furniture and such. My brother then left her behind in my other brothers care, he took better care of her, but was barely home, she was alone often. And he’s moved as well now. She’s not socialized and gets spooked and triggered easily and bites at the ankle or attacks randomly. Never anything severe. She’s a sweet cat, but she needs someone experienced. She’s very cautious, shy, and mistrusting. But she’s very curious and while I believe in the right home, she will thrive. I feel for her and want what’s best for her..

Story
Lovebug Alert! Nessarose has been nothing but sweet and chill since coming into our care! Check out her video and you'll see what we mean! And it's a pleasure to pet Nessa since she's super soft. Think chinchilla soft! Nessa is a a bit overweight, so she'll need an owner who can help her safely get down to a healthy weight under the guidance of her new vet. To meet Nessa, please drop by the Cambridge PetSmart during open hours: Saturday 12-2, Weeknights 6-8.

Story
Meet Jeff — the sweetest shy boy with the tiniest squeak. Jeff may be a little bashful at first, but underneath that quiet exterior is the most gentle, loving soul. Talk softly and he’ll melt right into head scratch and reward you with the cutest little squeaks (don’t miss the video!). In his foster home, Jeff cuddles up with his human foster brother at bedtime and happily sits on his lap during homework. He loves wand toys, adores Churu (he devoured one during his photoshoot 😻), and is truly all heart. Jeff would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can blossom at his own pace. Once he trusts you, you’ll have the most loyal little companion with the softest soul. If you love watching shy cats turn into cuddlebugs, Jeff is your guy 💕 To meet Jeff in his foster home in Millbury, fill out our quick pre-screen: 👉 https://bit.ly/3yRGpMD

Story
This lovely girl is one of the nicest cats you'll ever meet. She not only loves her people, but is social with visitors as well. She was surrendered by her owner after she let her outside and she got hit by a car, and she could no longer afford her care. While Mandy just turned 9 years old, don't be fooled - she acts half her age. During the day she plays with her toys, and has no trouble jumping on the kitchen counter to play in the sink - yeah, we're working on that. She spends most of the day looking out the window and watching all the critters run around, but from the safety of her cat tree. At night she enjoys sitting with her person on the sofa watching TV or being gently brushed. Watch your hands - she loves to give lots of those sandpaper tongue kisses! She is showing early signs of mild kidney disease, but it's easily managed by feeding her a high quality canned food-only diet. Her bloodwork showed significant improvement from when she was first surrendered, so one of our consulting vets believes that good nutrition will keep her stable for some time to come. In her original home she did live with a large number of cats but she was not a big fan of interacting with them. She does okay with one of the cats in her foster home, so she probably could live with another cat after a slow and careful introduction. However, Mandy is not one to cuddle with another cat, she prefers to save that for her humans, and loved sleeping on the bed next to her original mom.. Mandy is fully vetted and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $225 and she is being fostered in Worcester.

Story
Charlie is a sweet and quiet 6 year old girl looking for a forever home with people who will match her chill vibe. And she's looking for someone who will not take it personally if she's hides for a period of time. Not a big fan of change, it may take Charlie a few days to fully settle into her new home, but once she does she is confident and affectionate. (Check out her video!) Charlie has been peacefully coexisting with other cats in foster, so she'll need to go home with a friendly cat who can help her adjust. We do not expect that she would enjoy to share her space with a dog or young children. To meet Charlie at her foster home in Winthrop, please fill out our quick pre-screen: https://bit.ly/3yRGpMD
