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.

Hi, i’m looking to sell my cat Autumn because I can’t have any pets in my new apartment. He’s a one year old tabby. Recently neutered. Up to date with his shots and microchipped. Please reach out if you are interested!

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Lancer is a two year old neutered male, who was surrendered from a house with lots of other cats. Here’s what his foster volunteer says about him:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? Lancer loves to play, loves treats, and loves being around people he's comfortable with. It took us a couple weeks to make him feel comfortable, and during those first few weeks, he hid a lot. But now, he wants us to be in his vicinity and he loves to sit by us or on our laps while we're working. It does take him some time to warm up to new people, so it's best to introduce new people to him slowly. Patience is key with Lancer! But it will be so worth it when he opens up to you.   Does the cat enjoy being pet? He waves his tail when you pet his back and butt area but I don't think he likes being pet around his head as much. I think he really likes the feeling of scratchers/scratches. If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Back, butt area Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? He doesn't like being pet on the head as much. Does the cat come on your lap? It's only happened twice so far but yes! Does the cat like to be held? I have not tried holding him but as of now, probably not. Does the cat sleep in your bed? No. I do sleep with my door open but he doesn't come up to my bed. He wanders in and out. Does the cat seek your attention? Yes, mainly at night. He can get pretty vocal if he knows you're in the house but in a different room. Not sure if it's solely attention-seeking behavior or has to do with other things.  Does the cat like to play? Yes! He is a strong and energetic cat so he likes jumping/catching for things and also tugging, chewing, chasing things. What are the cat's favorite games and toys? He loves trying to catch this toy that's attached to a pole I wave around. He also loves the laser pointer. He has a little mouse toy and a ball that he throws and chases around when he's alone. How vocal is the cat? At first, he wasn't vocal at all. When we started using the pheromone diffuser/when he got more comfortable with us, he started vocalizing at night outside our doors. Nowadays, he does this at night and sometimes during the day if we're all in our rooms and he's alone in the living room. In the morning, around 7am, I usually wake up to him meowing. I give him his food but he continues crying so not sure if it's just food-related. What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Most of the time, it's a mix of "meows" and "ows" but if he's really stressed he will let out a much louder and extended "yow". That may happen if he goes to the vet. Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Yes. Does the cat always use the litter box? Mostly yes, but when he was really scared after receiving his vaccine shot, he urinated on my bathroom mat. During the first week of fostering him, he was on our couch at night and when we appeared he must've gotten so scared that he urinated on it. What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? I give him ~1/3 cup of Purina Cat Chow 3-4 times a day. I also leave out some kibble in his puzzle feeder and his bowl at night. He has thrown up his kibble before so I hydrate it with water a little bit before giving it to him. Sometimes, I mix in some wet food. Is the cat picky about food? Not really. I stay within the Purina brand, but I have gotten different flavors of kibble and he didn't mind. What is the cat's favorite treat? Churu Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? No, he only swats at toys. Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? During the first week of fostering him, I extended my hand too close to his face to give him Churu and he scratched my hand. Since then, that hasn't happened while giving him treats. Sometimes, he doesn't like things coming too close to his face so I would give him enough time to sniff the object or your hand before bringing it close to his face. 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? He is pretty fearful of new people. He can get shaken pretty easily with loud noises as well. But if you give him some time he will come out of hiding and start to explore.   If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? I have not seen him with other animals. Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? When we come home from work or see him in the morning, he immediately comes to us and weaves between our legs and stays super close. So much so that he's made us all trip! I'm guessing this is his way of telling us he missed us?? He sometimes just stares at you while you're doing your stuff and has the most adorable face when he does.  In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? Lancer may seem shy and cautious at first, but once he opens up, he will be the most energetic and loving cat ever! I think if you work from home or spend a lot of time at home, he will be a great cat for you. It's extremely rewarding when a cat opens up and you become their favorite person! What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? Lancer is an incredible hider. On several occasions, we thought he disappeared because we couldn't find him, but he was just really good at finding new hiding spots. He will make you realize how much hiding-spot-potential your furniture and space had. Because of this, a pet camera is a good idea for Lancer and if he disappears, don't freak out. Just give him some time and he will reappear.   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 23, 2026, 5:38 pm

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Myers is a 4 year old male cat who has had a tough start. He was the only survivor of his litter, who were attacked by coyotes and got his tail. He was formerly an indoor cat, but lost trust of humans when he was neutered. He needs a feline companion, either an already adopted cat or to be adopted with Plaza.   How would you describe the cat's general personality? Myers is an extremely fearful cat around people. When touched he often freezes or shivers and may bolt away if he has the chance. He only reliably comes out when other cats are around and is much more comfortable in their presence. Without other cats nearby he tends to remain hidden.   Does the cat enjoy being pet? Yes, but only after his fear wears off. After a minute of pets, he will often start purring and lean into the pets and even rub his nose on your hand.   If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Once he relaxes he enjoys full body pets and head pets. He doesn't like head pets until he's started to relax, preferring shoulder/spine pets at first.   Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? Initial touch is very frightening for him and he may freeze, shiver, or try to escape. But he has never swatted.   Does the cat come on your lap? No.   Does the cat like to be held? No. If picked up he will struggle and bolt away as powerfully as possible.   Does the cat sleep in your bed? No.   Does the cat seek your attention? No. He prefers to hide or observe from a distance and has not become particularly socialized to people.   Does the cat like to play? Occasionally, mostly at night.   What are the cat's favorite games and toys? He has played with a laser pointer and will sometimes roam and jump around a bit at night.   How vocal is the cat? Usually quiet.   What kinds of sounds does the cat make? When completely alone he sometimes makes an adorably high&#226&#128&#145pitched squeak.   Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Not clearly observed yet.   If no, please explain. N/A   Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes, although if he gets super scared (like at the vet), he will pee before bolting.   If no, please explain. N/A   What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? He eats wet food, dry food, Greenies, and loves Churu treats.   Is the cat picky about food? He is a slow eater and will sometimes wait a long time before eating, occasionally letting food sit for much of the day.   What is the cat's favorite treat? Churu (do NOT leave it unattended where he can reach, he will eat it including the wrapper, which can be dangerous!)   Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? He often hisses initially when approached or touched but does not escalate.   Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? No.   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? Very fearful. He prefers to hide or observe from a distance and has not become particularly social with people.   If you have observed the cat with other animals, please describe how they get on? He does very well with other cats. He cuddles at night with a female foster and loves a resident orange cat, often coming out to greet him and rub against him, even when people are around.   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? He can remain extremely still during the day but becomes much more active after dark, roaming, playing a little, and doing most of his eating at night. He's adjusted well to losing his tail, and can spring vertically to an impressive height.   In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? Myers loves hanging out with other cats and clearly enjoys their company. In a home with friendly cats he becomes much more active and engaged. An adopter should choose Myers if they’re interested in working with a tricky (but not at all mean) cat who may not behave exactly like they’re used to.   What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? Interacting with Myers can be tricky, he is extremely fearful of people and will hide if given the opportunity and if there is an unreachable hiding place (like under a bed) he may stay there and only come out to eat when no one is around. Managing the space so that hiding spots are limited helps ensure necessary interactions and care. We’ve also given him a “hiding spot” (cat tube) that is actually very reachable so we can interact with him often. He does best when other cats are present.   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 16, 2026, 1:43 pm
