Pixiebob kittens & cats in Melrose, Massachusetts

Cindy is a pretty calico girl, about a year and a half old, who was rescued as a frightened, hungry, abandoned stray. Her foster gave him the time, patience, and gentle reassurance for her to understand that humans could be trusted sometimes, and her affectionate nature has emerged. Now, Cindy enjoys being pet, loves to play, and will happily curl up by her foster mom. She still has a sensitive side and would do best as the only cat in a calm, understanding home where her person will let her continue growing in confidence. We haven’t seen her around dogs or children yet, but we believe she’d likely do well with respectful kids and dogs who know how to interact gently with cats. Cindy would do best in an interactive home where she isn’t left alone for long hours. She should be adopted by someone experienced enough with cats to understand that she will need patience, but that patience will pay off. Whoever is fortunate enough to adopt this little girl will gain a devoted companion for life.She has been spayed, is current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. Her adopter will receive her medical records. She’s being fostered in Cambridge. Adoptions are facilitated by video meet-and-greets, as well as in-person visits. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee, which helps us continue rescuing cats in need. In Cindy's case, that adoption fee has been reduced by more than half to a mere $95-- a bargain for a new best friend. Cats can live past 20 years, so please consider whether you can commit to providing a safe, loving home for life before adopting. Please email Safercats11@gmail.com and say a little about yourself and the home you would provide. Doing so helps rescuers match cats with the right adopters. Including your phone number is likely to result in a faster response.

If there were an Olympic medal for World's Friendliest Cat, nine-year-old Romeo would certainly be a contender. Romeo lost his home when the person who meant the world to him just moved away and decided not to take him, nor the other cat in the home, nor the dog. We encounter this situation all-too-frequently in rescue, but it's no less appalling. Almost immediately after he arrived in his foster home, he showed himself to be a friendly, affectionate boy, ready to respond to petting with a warm purr. Although he has a history of living with another cat, he's not too wild about the one in his foster home, so apparently he likes some cats, but not others. We haven’t seen him around children yet. We think he'd do fine with kids who know how to be respectful to cats-- nearly all cats are, and Romeo seems to like just about every human he meets once he gets to know them. Romeo would do best in an interactive home where he isn’t left alone for long hours. Whoever is fortunate enough to adopt this boy will gain a loving companion who will be devoted for life. Romeo seems like an easy cat who would be suitable for a first-time adopter. And, yes, at about 14 pounds, he's a BIG boy.Romeo has been neutered, is current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. His adopter will receive his medical records. He’s being fostered in Boston. Adoptions are facilitated by video meet-and-greets, as well as in-person visits. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee, which helps us continue rescuing cats in need. In Romeo's case, it has been reduced to a mere $65 to facilitate a quick adoption -- a bargain for a new best friend who will love you for the rest of his life. Cats can live past 20 years, so please consider whether you can commit to providing a safe, loving home for life before adopting.

Meet Crusty, Crusty is a handsome brown tabby with a thick coat and bright green eyes. He’s a loving, playful boy with a silly side, he loves to roll onto his back, chase strings, and zoom around the room during playtime. Crusty especially enjoys his scratcher posts (his couch-shaped one is a favorite!) and does well with other cats. He's come a long way from his shy beginnings, and has blossomed into a loving, affectionate companion who now happily leans into chin scratches. Crusty is a 1-2 year old neutered male cat with up to date shots. If you're interested in Crusty then fill out an online application at https://melrosehumanesociety.org/adopt
