To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Pancake is a lovely 7 year old girl. 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.  May 17, 2025, 1:14 pm

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Look how far I've come! Look how far I’ve come!  Ramona is a sweet mama who was found abandoned outdoors and in labor while in respiratory distress.  A true fighter, Ramona persevered to raise beautiful, healthy kittens who quickly found permanent homes.  Now Ramona is patiently waiting for her furr-ever family to provide a caring lifelong home!  A playful, energetic, curious gal, Ramona doesn’t let needing an inhaler twice a day slow her down.  In her current foster home, Ramona enjoys being around her foster humans especially at nighttime and will cook you up her famous “4-wheel drive biscuits” as you head off to dreamland.  If you are looking for a snuggle bug at bedtime or a loyal co-worker while you’re working from home, Ramona is the kitty for you!  She’s ready with morning wake-up kisses, but in turn make sure you give her plenty of head scratches and Churu treats. Ramona loves to play, nap, and give plenty of attention to her people! After surviving a tough life on the streets, Ramona developed chronic rhinitis which produces more nasal mucus than your average cat and is managed by an inhaler (which she has gotten accustomed to!)  She may be a little sneezy, but will you really let a little snot stand between you and your new best friend? Ramona loves to use a cardboard scratching pad and has perfect litter box habits. She eats Redford Naturals wet and grain free dry food, but doesn’t seem picky! Ramona prefers a water fountain, but a water bowl works too. Churu treats are her favorite, especially right out of the tube. She is not interested in people food (besides the occasional canned tuna). While she doesn’t *love* it, she will let you trim her nails. She is not shy, but may need space around younger children. Ramona is super chill at the vet! Ramona’s foster humans have described her as the most perfect, sweetest cat they’ve ever met. Ramona’s chronic rhinitis is manageable and doesn’t stop her from living her best life!&#226&#128&#175 Ramona is estimated to be around 5 years old and her adoption donation is waived!   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.  March 31, 2025, 4:58 pm

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston 2 Female Kittens Biscuit and Jet are adorable 2-month-old sisters. *Kittens must be adopted in pairs or to homes with another cat-friendly cat.* Here's what their Foster Volunteer has to say about them: How would you describe the cat's general personality? Biscuit – cautious but curious about humans, adores scritches, loves to play with her sisters and any possible toy Jet – independent lady who also wants to fall asleep smushed up against you, mighty hunter of string and sparkleballs. Does the cat enjoy being pet? Biscuit – yes, although can be startled if you come in from above her face Jet – yes, and will let you know when she is available, probably by flopping down on her back immediately in front of you. If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Biscuit – loves ear scritches especially, and full body swoops from ears to tail Jet – the tummy is often not a lie! Also loves head and cheek scritches Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? Bicuit – not particularly, although the tummy is not for very long Jet – same, although the tummy is often for a lot longer. Does the cat come on your lap? Biscuit – no, but she would like to be near Jet – no, but she would like to be pressed up against you, especially while she is napping. Does the cat like to be held? None of the young ladies prefer it, although they permit manicures. Does the cat sleep in your bed? More and more often. Does the cat seek your attention? Definitely! Does the cat like to play? They LOVE to play. What are the cat's favorite games and toys? They like feathers on a stick and the cat dancer, and hiding and pouncing on each other from behind curtains, crumpled paper, or cardboard. Dangling strings must be attacked soundly, and Jet in particularly LOVES her little sparkleballs. How vocal is the cat? They are all pretty quiet, with Jet the most so, but they are growing chirpier over time. What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Peeps and chirps and adorable squeaks; almost never a meow. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Yes, they will scratch a scratcher. They will also try and scratch the rug, but can be dissuaded. Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes, both. What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? They are all free-feeding Royal Canin Mother and Baby wet and dry food. Is the cat picky about food? No, but they haven’t had much opportunity to try anything else. What is the cat's favorite treat? They LOVE Churu. Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? They will gently tell you that pet time is over but will not scratch – maybe just grab your hand with their paws. Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? None of them. Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? They will open their mouths wide and meaningfully if they are super over stimulated but they do not nip. 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? Biscuit is a little shy but curious. Jet is pretty much too cool for all of us, but will come and check you out and decide you’re worthy and then settle right in. None of them have met a lot of people because they have not been alive very long, so some of this is still that people are new and they are babies. Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? Biscuit has a very elaborate stretch routine when she wakes up that is adorable. She is the sweetest little introvert who is blossoming every day, even though her facial markings make her look like she’s worried all the time. Jet is lethally adorable, and is extremely fond of folding herself into a little potato right in the middle of wherever it is that you are trying to go, or perhaps flinging herself on her back so you can see her beautiful tummy. She also very much likes to sit extremely close to movies and TVs and follow what’s going on. They think laundry-sorting is AMAZING fun. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? Biscuit is a little princess who will come to where you are and invite pets, curiously examine what you are doing, and carefully supervise. Jet is hilarious and ridiculously cute all at once, and will fill up all the space on your camera phone. What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? They’re still little and they’re still learning, and they’re just now discovering a world without their mama – but they uniformly respond to patience and love, and they will reward it every bit with love and delight of their own.
