Story
Kira, or Kiki, came into my life 2.5 years ago from a pet rescue. She is a sweet, curious, and incredibly energetic girl. She loves to play with toys, find high places and cozy hiding spots and absolutely goes crazy for cardboard. Keep her away from sewing needles (or any sharp objects) because she strangely finds them to be a delicious snack. Kiki is a big fan of new people and she’s always excited for more attention. Though Kira has been an only pet all her life, her large amount of energy means she would best fit in a home with more pets, children, a larger space, or energetic people who can keep up with her and her shenanigans. Im seeking to rehome her as I am moving away soon. As much as it breaks my heart to part ways with her, the time we have spent together leads me to believe that perhaps a small apartment and being a single pet is not the ideal life for her as she requires more stimulation. Give her your time and affection and this sweet girl will give you her heart.

Story
Dexter was a rescue from the Worcester animal rescue league. He was my roommate for two years before my girlfriend and I moved in together. At first her allergies were very minor, but now they have become almost debilitating. We both love Dexter, and he is a great companion, but for her health we have to find him a new home. He is as typical a cat as any: snuggly on his terms, cries for breakfast, enjoys chasing shoe strings.

Story
I have 2 cats who need a loving home! I adopted Earl from a foster family. He is almost 12, has a pink nose, very sweet and independent. He needs a 1/4 of a pill twice a day for a heart murmur. He has had no medical issues for the 7 years I have had him. The vet says his heart sounds fine. He loves his adopted brother Ollie, who has a black nose. I adopted Ollie from a shelter a year after adopting Earl so they could be buddies. Ollie has no medical issues. He is almost 7 and a lover. Ollie and Earl play and sleep together. Ideally I would like the boys to be adopted together. We have all medical records. My living arrangements have changed, and due to allergies in my family I cannot keep my babies.

Story
Peanut is a fun, sweet cat who will greet you at the door and can sit for hours curled up, purring on you lap. He only has his front teeth and fangs so when he is relaxed, his tongue lolls out of the side of his mouth: ) He is playful and benignly mischievous. He cannot be in a home with another cat. He just simply doesn’t like to share his space and will stalk and harass another cat. He is approximately 5 years old.
