Tabby kittens & cats in Holyoke, Massachusetts

I adopted Elita at Dakin in Springfield in 2019. Her birthday is September 25, 2018. She’s very affectionate and highly intelligent. 20 minutes of playtime a day in tunnels, toy at end of wand, light chasing, or throwing toys for her to catch helps her, because she likes to groom. Elita also has a heart murmur that may need one day a heart ultrasound to rule out any illness, but many cats with heart murmurs don’t have any sources of issues with it. I feed Elita Iams healthy adult dry food - she asks for it by going into the kitchen but you’re welcome to feed her 2-3 times a day instead of her preference for grazing a little at a time. It’s best to reach your hand out and have her come to you. She lets kids pet her but she first has to get adjusted and might hide with kids. She doesn’t really cry if in pain or ill so notice any behavior changes if you’re worried like not eating. She will cry a little in cat carrier but not the whole way.I am giving away her fancy tunnels, cat tree, etc.

Malone is a very sweet, loving cat that does not require tons of affections but she will take all of it. She was adopted during Covid with another cat that terrorized her so my friend asked if I would take her and she has lived with me my kids, my dog the past 6 years. She does fine with other animals but is definitely skittish. She doesn't like to rough play with my dog but tries to be affectionate with him. She has never been outside. I am moving to North Carolina and cannot bring her with me but also, I think it would be too stressful for her. I would love her to go to someone whose lap she can lay in, where it's quiet and peaceful.

Mini is about a year old. She was born after her mother unexpectedly got pregnant, and we kept her with the family since then. Mini is very friendly, playful, and loving. She enjoys spending time playing with toys and loves being around her siblings. As much as we care about her, having multiple pets in the house has become overwhelming, and we’re no longer able to give her the time and attention she deserves. We are hoping to find her a new home where she can have a better living situation, with plenty of love, care, and attention.

HEARTWARMING RESCUE STORY DOB 8/26/22 Hey there, everyone! I'm Lollis, a very affectionate, delightful, playful “torbie” gal which means that I'm a brown tabby with patches of peach that makes me look like I was splashed with caramel in a candy factory. I can't get enough time to spend with Foster Meowmy, so I sleep with her and am always asking her for cuddles, especially when I don't have to compete with the resident cats for her attention. Although my independent, freedom-loving spirit has proven helpful in dealing “as needed” with the dogs, other cats, and kids in my foster home, my innate friskiness has made me a perfect companion for those same kids. I’ve been very bonded to Foster Meowmy ever since she spotted me at her jobsite as a seven-month-old stray kitten who had no momma or siblings in sight. Realizing that Foster Meowmy was my ticket to a life that was better than dumpster diving, I wasted no time and ran up to her. She scooped me up and drove home with me cuddled in her lap. Yes, our special connection began on that unforgettable journey. To this day, in those cherished moments when I need a little snuggle, it’s Foster Meowmy to whom I turn when I seek cuddling. I hope that my heartwarming rescue story has touched your heart. Yes, I chose Foster Meowmy, and now it's time for you to choose me to be your next feline companion. I want to become an integral part of your life and make every day an adventure worth sharing. Arrange to meet me today, and let's form a bond that's unbreakable! Incidentally, there are advantages to adopting a gal like me who’s past the stage of kitten mayhem. I’m much less likely to cause chaos in your home or break any of your family heirlooms. HOPE ID 23-1014-A047 Lollis is currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $325 adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.

SWEET MOMMA DOB 5/1/23 Ms Ethel is a sweet mittened torbie who, although she prefers not to be picked up, will come over to you for petting and snuggling. Ms Ethel is a stately kitty who is independent and can go hours on end without needing humans. She's simply a low-maintenance kind of gal. Ms Ethel was brought into HOPE when an elderly couple found her and her newborn babies in their backyard. Completely soaked and very hungry, the kitties needed immediate help. A foster stepped up and took in the forlorn family. Fast forward months later, and all the kitties have been adopted with only Momma left. Can Ms Ethel bring her sweet, undemanding ways to take the bite out of your being alone? Or bring some quiet companionship after your long, hectic day at the office? If so, arrange to meet her so you can give her some much-appreciated scratches and snuggles. Just because she’s independent of humans doesn’t mean that she doesn't have something to give others. In fact, she has so much love to give – all she needs is YOU! HOPE ID 24-0515-G124 Ms Ethel is currently in the Houston, Texas area but can be transported to this location upon adoption. The $325 adoption fee includes transport, health certificate, spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites.

PLEASE HELP TINKERBELL FIND THE PURRFECT HOME! Tinkerbell was surrendered by her elderly owner due to moving into a complex that does not accept pets. She is a very sweet, affectionate kitty who loves to sit in any available lap for attention, and purrs loudly! She is chatty, and will follow her favorite people around to talk and get attention. Tinkerbell is 18 years old, and has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated for rabies/FVRCP, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and has had a senior blood panel and dental cleaning. The blood panel indicated that she is in the early stages of renal failure, so she is eating canned food. Her adoption fee is $150.

🧶Lucy is adorable, playful, CUDDLY, sometimes shy, and very gentle—like a kitten in a sweet 6-year-old body. She’s been the love of our lives. She snuggles with her brother but is uncomfortable with our older cat. She is best as an only cat likely, & in a home with people around more, a steady routine. (Or a mostly-outdoor/unique setup?)🐈‍⬛ Her challenge is occasional peeing outside the litter box. The vet believes it’s behavioral—loneliness, late meals, or territorial stress. She has her own box for pee, cleaned daily, and uses it, mostly reliably. She’s had a couple mild UTIs that respond well to meds, sometimes with a spot of blood, but further tests are costly. (Less than 1x/ year)🐾She & her bro Merlin are secure together. But she might pee around due to competition. We're not home as much, & while she uses her box most of the time, it's hard to manage with us busier. We adore her & have waited for a loving home that fits her needs.1 person, wanting affection, solo pet, ideal!
