Was given to me 2022, mother was a black shorthair, she is very good with dogs, has her moments where she fights with our Shih Tzu but only lays a second or 2. She is a little feisty when first meets with new people but after is very calm.

Story
I live with my parents and he keeps peeing on stuff like clothes and furniture. I wish I could live alone and keep but I can’t right now. He’s so sweet, really playful, as long as he’s no scared he’s very calm. Edit: I have brought him to vets and he’s had a checkup, they did inform me it’s nothing medical in relation to his peeing.

Story
Mr. Meowers is a handsome 1-year-old orange-and-white boy coming from Puerto Rico in search of his forever home in Massachusetts! True to his adorable name, Mr. Meowers is an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy who loves attention and being close to his people. At only a year old, he has so much love — and so many years of cuddles — to give his future family. Mr. Meowers is already neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed and will be ready to start his new life when he arrives in Boston. He is also FIV positive, but that doesn’t stop him from being a happy, loving cat or from living a long, wonderful life. FIV+ cats can thrive with routine veterinary care and an indoor lifestyle.

Story
Milo is a handsome 3-year-old boy coming all the way from Puerto Rico in search of his forever home in Massachusetts! Milo hasn’t had the easiest circumstances and currently spends much of his time confined with limited opportunities to explore and enjoy the comforts of a home. Despite this, he is an incredibly sweet and affectionate boy with so much love to give. ❤️ Milo absolutely loves people and is happiest when he’s getting cuddles, pets, and lots of rubs. He has such a gentle, loving personality, and we can’t wait to see him blossom once he has a home where he can explore, relax, play, and get all the attention he deserves. He is already neutered, vaccinated, and 2DX negative, and he’ll be coming to Boston ready for his fresh start. 🏡 At just 3 years old, Milo has so much life and love ahead of him. We’re looking for a special family who will give this sweet boy the safe, cozy, and loving home he’s been waiting for.

Story
Enzo is a sweet 4-month-old boy coming from Puerto Rico and looking for a family to show him what it means to be loved. Enzo has spent most of his young life confined to a cage, so he hasn’t had the chance to experience all the things a kitten should—playing, exploring, and having a safe home of his own. Despite his difficult start, he’s still just a baby with so much potential. With a patient and loving family, Enzo can come out of his shell, discover the joy of play, and learn that the world can be a safe and happy place. Enzo is neutered, vaccinated, and 2DX negative and ready for a fresh start. He deserves a forever home where he can finally experience the love, freedom, and happiness every kitten should have.

Story
She is a 2 year old American Shorthair (May 1st, 2024) who is spayed and up to date on her rabies vaccine (but might need another one eventually I forget). I am not home a lot so she is left alone often, in addition she does sometimes pee where she shouldn’t. She never goes on my bed but usually a couch in a shared living space. I don’t believe it to be medical, just a learned behavior and can be mended if one was home more often and she had more attention directed to her. Since I’m never home I often have to keep her in my room and I am not there to help correct behavior so I believe the better option would be with someone better fit. She is otherwise a lovely cat who is curious and loves butt scratches and pats. I have an auto feeder, litter box, extra food toys and litter as well and am willing to work with anyone on the process who would love a new feline friend.

Story
These are my sweet boys Onyx and Chai! 3 years old I've had them since they were 2 month year old kittens! They love cuddles and are a friend to everyone around them. Sadly I am unable to take care of them due to my schedule and relocating in the near future. I want them to have a sweet loving environment, playtime and great care. I do hope to have some type of contact with there new owners just for check ins and to see how they are doing as I will miss them. I am open to negotiating the fee!

Story
Butter is 1 year old. My brother’s cat was pregnant with a liter of 3 and he was one of 2 boys and a girl. He is so sweet and easy going. He’s chatty, friendly and not at all afraid of people. Anyone would love him. Unfortunately, I am moving and can’t take him with me but I want him to go to a safe and loving home.
