She needs to be an only cat. Here’s what her foster volunteer says about her:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? Rachel is friendly and vocal - she has lots of different quiet noises! She loves to be near people and often head butts you for a few pats on her head. She loves to scratch vertical and horizontal scratchers but not furniture!   Does the cat enjoy being pet? Yes, primarily on the head, when she asks for pets. She likes only a few pets, and it’s easy to tell from her demeanor when she’s done.   If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Head. She also likes to be brushed on her head and back.   Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? Her head is really the sweet spot, and just a few pats - don’t overdo it.   Does the cat come on your lap? Rachel loves to be near people, but not on laps.   Does the cat sleep in your bed? She walks across us when we’re in bed and settles down at the end of the bed or the bench at the foot of the bed, and we often find her on the bed when we get home.   Does the cat seek your attention? Yes. Rachel is very social and has a range of chirps, meows, purrs, hisses, and growls. She is happy when people come into the room and asks for head pets. She follows you to the food bowl, water bowl, litter box.   Does the cat like to play? YES. She's more of a solo player, but very playful.   What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Crinkle ball, catnip mouse, spring, scratcher - she winds herself around the scratching post and has a great time.   How vocal is the cat? Medium - she has lots of sounds, but isn't a loud/annoying meower at all.   What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Many -  chirps, meows, purrs, hisses, and growls   Does the cat scratch a scratcher? YES - enthusiastically   Does the cat always use the litter box? yes.   What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Currently, Rachel is eating dry food only, a scoop in the morning and a scoop at night.   What is the cat's favorite treat? Churu, of course.   What medication is the cat on, and how is it administered? N/A   Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? If you pat her too long, she might swat. The key is to just give her a few pets on her head and then stop - keep her wanting more!   Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? No Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? yes - same as swatting 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? She's quite social and happy to have people in the room with her.   If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? Rachel does not seem to be a fan of our resident cats.   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? I think Rachel is fabulous. She's quite companionable and super cute with her one ear and giant whiskers. She's happy to sit near while you're on the computer or reading, and loves to slow-blink back and forth.   In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? As a foster, Rachel is "the one who got away" for me, and I'm so happy to have a chance to foster her a second time (she was adopted two years ago and then surrendered recently when her original adopter moved to a place that didn’t allow pets). She is social and vocal and playful. She definitely wants to be around people, but doesn't always want to be pet (and when she does want to be pet, it's just a few pets on the head). She is friendly and super fun to be around!   What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? Rachel likes just a few pets, so you as a human have to control yourself. You’ll want to pet her soft fur forever, and you need to remember she just likes a few pets!

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Chazzy and Ollie are a gentle, bonded pair of 9-year-old brothers who are looking for a calm, loving forever home to spend their golden years. These handsome boys (Ollie sports a subtle white patch while Chazzy is solid black) joined Black Cat Rescue after losing their longtime owner, and they have been working hard to decompress in their foster home. While they are quite shy with new people, they are sweet-natured gentlemen who find immense comfort in each other’s presence and are slowly learning that the world is a safe, kind place. Almost 10 years ago Chazzy and Ollie were trapped outside along with their two sisters. The litter was on their own and getting a little too old (6 months or so) to compete with younger, more socialized kittens that year. The amazing woman who rescued them while working to help all of the cats in her community, decided to adopt all four of them. Sadly, Chazzy, Ollie and their sisters recently lost their lifelong person. Chazzy and Ollie are now looking for another amazing person to take a chance on two shy guys. Chazzy and Ollie are the perfect companions for someone looking to provide a quiet, patient sanctuary for two senior cats. They have made wonderful progress in foster care, rewarding their foster mom with soft purrs and slow, trusting blinks, and they have excellent litter box manners. Because they require a specific prescription urinary diet to stay healthy, they will thrive in a home that can manage their nutritional needs while showering them with consistent, patient affection. If you are looking for a pair of quiet, soulful companions to round out your home, these brothers would love to be your new family. Both boys eat Rx urinary care diet to avoid urinary blockages.
