Scottish Fold kittens & cats in Methuen, Massachusetts

Spirit cats are very shy with people, and live in your home but are rarely seen – hence their name. They are cats who coexist in your home, and sometimes may grant you the opportunity to touch them – or they may not. Despite being shy with people, spirit cats are usually great with other cats! They are used to living with many cats, and can make excellent companions for cats in your home. It’s not uncommon for a spirit cat to get used to one or two people over time, and those people will be allowed to touch them and they may even choose to hang out near you or sleep on your bed at night. They are a great choice for people with a quiet household, who want to make a difference for an individual cat. Patience and understanding are the best tools when welcoming a spirit cat into your home. It’s important to know that spirit cats won’t magically turn into a normal acting cat – what you see is what you get for a long time, maybe always. They are a fine choice for situations where you don’t have a lot of time to devote to a pet as they don’t require a lot of attention from humans. They are not a good choice for a busy home, including those with small children.

This beautiful boy is the biggest snuggle bunny. He’s probably the most affectionate cat I’ve ever met. He’s so calm, easy-going, and all he wants his belly rubs. I took him and his brother in when his previous owner that had since a kitten had to move. They were doing very well while I worked the night shift until I switched to the dayshift and I’m not home during the day anymore. It’s been over six months now and sweet Junior won’t use his litter box and there’s no way for me to continue to take care of him. I’m a single mother. I have three kids at home and work full time. I love this cat so much but he needs more attention than I can give, and there’s just no way around it for me. He was litter box trained when I got him, and is now peeing at least in the low litter box but continues to poop right outside of the clean litterbox.
