Story
This cat was coming around my house looking for food and water for a few months. Once it started getting colder I brought the cat inside to find it a shelter or new home and have contacted a few different places that either at max capacity or can't take a cat from a different county, but Newton does not have an ARL. I have a 17 year old cat two dogs, a toddler, and a 6 month old and have my hands full as is.:( I can provide cat food and litter for the settling process/ help with any setting necessitates!

Story
My name is Amulet and I am a brown tabby & white domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 10 months old. I am at the shelter because I was found as a stray on 10/17/2025. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a medium energy cat and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I do not have a history of trying to escape the home, but the shelter staff always recommends owners be mindful that I do not accidentally sneak out on their way out the door. I can be good with men, women, and children. Staff are still learning how I do with other cats, and I can be good with dogs.

Story
My name is Mj and I am a tortie domestic shorthair. I am a spayed female and I am 3 months old. I am at the shelter because I was found as a stray on 09/12/2025. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a typical kitten with typical kitten energy levels, and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I can be good with men, women, and children. I can be good with other cats and I can be good with dogs.My foster family had this to say about me: `MJ is so sweet! She loves to cuddle and will come sit on your lap or perch on your shoulder whenever you are hanging out around the home. She is a great low to medium energy companion cat who is great around other cats and is litter training.`
