Tabby kittens & cats in Somerville, Massachusetts

Hi I am Boris! Totally cute, feisty, and full of energy! As a young cat ( 1-2yo), I have a lot of free time which I use to nap, explore, and play when the humans have time. I am very curious cat (chief inspector of all nooks & crannies at my foster house!) and very friendly with new humans. I really like string toys, but I can be a little feisty and enjoy roughhousing as I am full of energy! When the humans are busy, I like to nap nearby. Ideally, I would like a home with people who can spend a lot of time with me and give me lots of attention. My foster family thinks I would probably enjoy having a cat sibling as well! Help me find my furever home.

Teddy — Orange Male Cat, ~2.5 years old, Boston MA Teddy is a big, talkative, deeply affectionate orange cat looking for his person. Easily cared for with dry or wet food. Good with a litter box. Has been kept indoors only. Good with children that are patient with him. Very active. He is a certified doofus. He flops. He falls. It's endearing every single time. We have had him since he was six months as a companion for our older Tabby. Unfortunately, he can be obsessively aggressive with any animals that he can bully, not bad enough to cause injury but it can be stressful to the other animals. This has built up to unhealthy stress for the other cat. He has not expressed this with adult or child humans. And I think he may get along well with a larger calm dog. He can be a shy with strangers, but some churu and gentle care and talking with him and he bonds deeply - becoming extremely cuddly and interactive. We love him a lot and think he would be great in a loving home.

10-22-24 These lovely kittens are friendly, spayed. neutered and tested negative for diseases. They are 4-5 months old and we'd either love to place them in pairs or in homes with an existing cat. PLEASE EMAIL US FOR AN APPLICATION!!!

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Gamma (male tabby with stripes), Rho (male tabby with swirls) and Zeta (male, black and white) are three kitten littermates born approximately 12/20/2025. They either need to go home with a sibling or have another energetic pet in the home. Here's what their foster volunteers say about them:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? Gamma: Very friendly little guy who loves pets and lots of attention. Has a BIG purr and isn't afraid to use it to earn him more pets! Rho: Very sweet, loves attention too (just not quite as much as Gamma) and gives the most adorable gazing look of love to us. Likes to bop noses with us. Enjoys a lot of playtime. Zeta: Also very sweet but quite goofy. Likes attention, but prefers to be next to you than on your lap. Strikes the most ridiculous poses. Loves a belly rub. Does the cat enjoy being pet? YES, all three love to be pet. Gamma is so in love with petting he'll climb on his siblings when you're petting them to get pet himself. If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Everywhere. All enjoy a belly rub. We've made a lot of effort to rub their paws so that they're used to having them touched.  Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? Nope! Does the cat come on your lap? Yes, all three will climb on our laps when we're sat on the floor or in a chair. Rho and Gamma will climb all over us, including our shoulders. Zeta likes to be next to us on the floor more, but will come on our laps still for attention.  Does the cat like to be held? Yes, all three, especially Rho and Gamma.  Does the cat sleep in your bed? They have not been given the opportunity to do so, as they stay in the kitten room. But I bet they'd like to do so if given half the chance! Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, yes and more yes! Gamma in particular is quite attention loving, but all three enjoy attention. Does the cat like to play? Yes! What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Spring toys are a big favorite, as is romping with each other. They enjoy chasing a wand toy, particularly Rho who gets good air to his jumps. Zeta is coming along with the jumps as well. How vocal is the cat? What kinds of sounds does the cat make? They meow at wet food time (fed twice daily). Otherwise, Gamma and Zeta have loud purrs, Rho has a softer purr. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Not yet that we've noticed, but they aren't bad about scratching the furniture either. Since they’re still so little, they sometimes use their claws to jump up into the chair, but not like you would use a scratcher. Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes, never had any accidents. A funny fact is that Rho likes to use the bathroom promptly after every meal. They are all very good at covering up in the litter box. What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? Free feeding dry food (Purina kitten) and twice-daily wet food (Fancy Feast kitten pate). Is the cat picky about food? Not at all - they are very good eaters. What is the cat's favorite treat? Churu! Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? No. Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Only unintentionally when climbing on us and because they have sharp kitten claws.  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? We're working with them on this. We've only had one group of visitors so far, and they were hesitant. More visitors are planned in the coming weeks. They are also a bit afraid of voices on the phone, which again we're conditioning them on.   If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? They've met one of our resident cats and that went great. They largely ignored him and played with each other. Does the cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? Gamma: Loves to pounce on other kittens' tails. It's really cute! Rho: Seems really obsessed with human faces. Wants to give nose bobs/face rubs and stares adoringly at us. Zeta: Sometimes falls off our laps because he has no sense of his personal space and strikes the silliest of poses. In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? They are a great group of sweet kittens. They've been remarkably tidy and are very loving/sweet boys. It’s been so special watching them discover toys and learn to play, and discover how much they enjoy petting! What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? They came to us from outside, where they were living under someone's house in snowy conditions. We've focused on socializing them - the tabbies set the pace, and Zeta trotted right along. Their two other litter mates are not being posted for adoption yet as they need more socialization work, although they are making strides as well. Showing them love, affection and giving churu really helped to bring them out of their shells.     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 3, 2026, 6:33 pm

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Midnight is a sweet, playful, and affectionate 5-year-old cat who has been through an incredible journey of resilience. After surviving a dog attack that left her with nerve damage and incontinence, she has adapted beautifully with the love and care of her foster family. Her tail had to be amputated, and she now wears a diaper that is changed several times a day, along with a few diaper-free breaks. While she does need some extra care, her condition is manageable (Midnight has learned to thrive in her routine) and she's ready to bring her joy and companionship into a forever home. What makes Midnight so special is her wonderful personality. She is a friendly and social cat who bonds quickly with people—even on the first day she met her foster family, she jumped into their laps and gave kisses. She loves being petted on her cheeks, head, and belly, and happily curls up in laps many times a day. Though she isn’t fond of being held, she adores closeness and even tries to sleep in bed with her humans. Midnight is also very playful and clever; she loves toys, especially chasing and gathering them all together, and she makes her needs known with a soft, sweet voice. Her silly “supergirl” sleeping pose—stretching her legs straight behind her—never fails to make her foster family laugh. Midnight isn’t just loving with people—she even enjoys the company of dogs and gets along well with other pets, making her a great fit for an animal-loving household. She’s a little picky with food, preferring salmon and pate flavors, and she absolutely can’t resist Churu treats. While her incontinence means she doesn’t use the litter box, she has adjusted beautifully to wearing diapers and continues to be gentle, affectionate, and easy to love. Midnight truly has the heart of a survivor and the spirit of a best friend. She is affectionate, loyal, and fun, with endless love to share. All she needs is a family who is willing to look past her challenges and see the amazing, one-of-a-kind companion she is. By opening your heart and home to Midnight, you won’t just be adopting a cat—you’ll be giving a brave and wonderful soul the happy ending she deserves.
