Here's what her foster volunteers say about her: How would you describe the cat's general personality? Pancake is very playful, and likes lots of playtime with her humans! She is also super curious, wanting to smell all the smells, view all the views, and explore every shelf and corner of her surroundings. She can be rambunctious and will bring so much laughter to your home. She likes to be near her humans as much as possible (but that doesn’t always mean she wants to be touched!) She just really likes to be around you, and she’s also okay with meeting your friends! Does the cat enjoy being pet? :Yes If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Pancake loves head and behind ear scratches. Also fully body pets from her head to her tail. She will sometimes purr when you pet her! Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? Pancake does not like stomach pets. And generally needs a gentle introduction to petting. She will shrink away if you just go straight for pets before letting her sniff your hand. We have been able to cut pancakes nails with some help from her favorite treats! Does the cat come on your lap?  She doesn’t come sit directly on my lap but will sit on the couch next to me :) Does the cat like to be held? Not particularly, but she will tolerate it. Does the cat sleep in your bed? Yes, she has recently started to sleep in my bed more. Does the cat seek your attention? Yes! She will be especially vocal and meow is she is hungry or wants to play!. Does the cat like to play? Yes! Don’t be fooled by Pancake’s age, she is youthful at heart and loves to play with scrunch toys or chase her laser pointers! What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Chasing the light from her laser pointers. Running through her pop-up tunnel. Chasing a string (but you have to be very creative on luring her or else she will quickly get bored). How vocal is the cat? Pancake will meow lots when she is hungry and if she wants to play! What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Mostly purrs and meows. Her meows are soft and high pitched. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Yes, pancake has a scratch board and a scratch post that she likes to use. Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes. What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Fancy feast wet food, once in the morning and once in the evening. Dry kibble (any brand) through out the day/night, but only a little bit at a time! Is the cat picky about food? Unknown What is the cat's favorite treat? Delectables squeeze up Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? When first interacting with Pancake, particularly with physical touch, she will swat when she is not ready to be touched. But she will give you warning meows before using her claws (usually). Just make sure to give her time to sniff your hand before petting her, and don’t reach out to pet her directly from in front of her. She likes it when your hand comes from beside or behind her head rather than right towards her face. Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you?: Yes, see above. Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you?: No Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)?: No To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? Pancake is pretty chill with new people! At first she will usually run to a safe space but will later come out to sniff or interact with her new friends!   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? Pancake is also very food motivated and will let you know when it’s time to eat. She should only be in a one cat house-hold. She is perfectly fine with humans, but not other cats. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? Pancake is a complete sweetheart and a diva at the same time. She makes her humans feel incredibly loved and needed, and it genuinely makes you want to be the best pet owner you can possibly be in return. Pancake is a true companion and will become your best friend, offering you plenty of amusement, laughter, and affection every day. In the words of Pancake’s previous owner, “Pancake is going to be a loving and vocal addition to your home. I was so honored to love and care for her for over 4 years, but I know you will love and care for her too. May Pancake bring you all of the joy and love that she did for me.” What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? At first, Pancake’s mood can be hard to read at times as she adjusts to a new environment. So one moment she might be ok with lots of head scratching, and the next she might realize she’s in this unfamiliar place with an unfamiliar person, and get a bit scared and defensive. As long as you are consistently patient and gentle, Pancake will become patient and gentle in return! After spending more time with her  Pancake has grown immensely as she has come out of her shell and become very playful and outgoing :)   To learn more about adopting this cat in Massachusetts, please visit www.blackcatrescue.com or fill out an Adoption Profile at https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston.  June 18, 2025, 6:56 pm

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston What is better than one sweet black kitty?  TWO SWEET BLACK KITTIES!  In honor of National Siblings Day (April 10) we share the story of this bonded pair looking for a patient, caring home where they can be the center of the (much-deserved) attention.   Winnie and Minnie have spent their lifetime protecting each other – are you the one who could be their new furrever parent to provide safety, comfort, and lots of YouTube birds??  Minnie and Winnie came to the Black Cat Rescue as timid, scared sisters longing for a loving forever home together.  Never receiving unconditional love before, this duo took some time to warm up in their foster home but has won over the hearts of their humans in truly unique ways!  These gals have started to realize how fabulous bedtime cuddles are, as well as lap snuggles.  With stunning green-yellow eyes and sleek black fur, you may want to pick them up and show them off, however Minnie and Winnie will do best in a home that can be patient with their journey to confidence and meet them where they are at on this road to finding permanent love.  Minnie and Winnie thrive in an environment where they can be the apples of your eye, and not have to compete with other pets or children.  They are lively spirits, and love to wrestle with each other, play with ribbon dancers and toys, and conserve their energy in bed with you before their late-night zoomies!  Be sure to save them a spot on the windowsill so they can watch the squirrels and birds outside.  Like most of us in transition, Minnie and Winnie will need patience and love while settling into a forever family.  Minnie is more adventurous and is her sister’s keeper, and Winnie follows the lead.  Being the leader, Minnie will trill for Winnie to come out when she can’t find her (isn’t that the cutest??)  But there’s a secret to winning over Winnie:  leave out mugs of water for her to sip on throughout the day and she will know you speak the same love language!  Together they will both hop into your hearts with their playful nature, curiosity of people, and longing to be loved and give love to someone special.  Ready for double the affection and adventure?  Meet Minnie and Winnie and see why bonded pairs are the best.
