Pixiebob kittens & cats in Providence, Rhode Island

Stella is a sweet, gentle soul who is still learning to feel safe in the big world. After a month in foster care, she spends much of her day tucked away in her cat beds in quiet low-light spots, but she’s making slow, steady progress every day. This shy girl comes alive at the sound of a wet food can opening! With patience and time (usually about an hour of calmly sitting in the room and giving her space), she’ll start to venture out on her own terms. Once she feels comfortable, she enjoys gentle pets on the top of her head, and will happily rub against you, though she will let you know quickly if she gets overstimulated. When she’s really relaxed and trusts you, she’ll roll over and ask for attention in the cutest way. Stella would do best in a quiet, adult-only home where she can decompress at her own pace. She loves having high perches to sit on and watch the world through the windows, cozy dark hiding spots for peaceful naps, and playing with fuzzy worm toys or feather wand toys. She’s easily spooked by sudden noises or movements, so a calm environment will help her thrive. She has done well with mature, patient, low-energy cats when introduced properly, and a calm, social “support cat” could actually help her come out of her shell. An adult-only home (or very respectful older kids) would be ideal. With time, patience, and a peaceful home, Stella’s sweet and loving personality is starting to shine through. She’s a quiet, affectionate girl who just needs someone who understands that good things take time. If you’re a patient, cat-savvy person looking for a gentle companion who we can foresee blossoming into a loving lap cat, Stella might be your perfect match! ** Stella is currently in foster care.

Meet Boston Rob & Cirie 🐾 Part of our special “Survivor 50” group, Boston Rob and Cirie have an incredible story of resilience. They came to us from a home with over 100 cats and have been slowly learning what it means to feel safe and cared for. Now, they’re ready to begin their next chapter—together. These two are a bonded pair and will need to be adopted into the same home. They find comfort in each other and often spend their time side by side, building confidence as a team. While they’ve made great progress since arriving, they’re still on the shy side when it comes to people. They’re looking for a patient, cat-savvy home that will give them the time and space they need to settle in and continue to grow. The shelter environment can be overwhelming, especially for cats who came from a hoarding situation, so transitions may take time. Their future family should be understanding and willing to let them move at their own pace. With consistency, gentle care, and a calm environment, we truly believe Boston Rob and Cirie will blossom into wonderful companions. If you have a quiet home and a big heart for cats who need a little extra time, this duo could be the perfect match for you. Boston Rob and Cirie are part of our special adoption program.

Meet Rick Devins & Christian 🐾 Part of our special “Survivor 50” group, Rick Devins and Christian have an incredible story of resilience. They came to us from a home with over 100 cats and have been slowly learning what it means to feel safe and cared for. Now, they’re ready to begin their next chapter—together. These two are a bonded pair and will need to be adopted into the same home. They lean on each other for comfort and confidence, often sticking close together as they navigate new experiences. While they’ve made wonderful progress since arriving, they’re still shy with people and will need a patient, understanding family willing to let them settle in at their own pace. Coming from a hoarding situation means the world can still feel a little overwhelming at times. A calm, quiet home with cat-savvy adopters will help them continue building trust and confidence. With time, routine, and gentle encouragement, Rick Devins and Christian have so much potential to grow into loving companions. If you have room in your heart for two cats who just need a little extra patience and kindness, this sweet duo may be the perfect fit for your home.
