Story
Super sweet 10 year old cat. She has been our son’s cat, but he is now at college and our lifestyle means that we are away from the house too much. Marbles is the most gentle cat you will ever meet - she will be shy at first and likely will be timid with other dogs and cats. She was pre-diabetic which we have managed with special food - we’ll give you a case of that food or some money to buy a couple months of the food if you would like. Her shots are up to date (Sept 2023 yearly physical will be done) and we’ll give you all the things you need - litter boxes, litter, carrying case. We love her and want her with a family who will be around more than we are!

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tony and Winnie came to us from a sibling who moved to an apartment where they could no longer have cats in NYC. They are brother and sister and are totally inseparable. Winnie (Winslow) is smaller and more adventurous than Tony. Tony is more willing to cuddle and is a little more shy initially. They are super sweet but we already have three guinea pigs and can’t always give Tony and Winnie the attention they deserve. Both kitties love to hunt bugs and other small animals so they would not do well in a family that already has rodents or other very small pets. A schedule that involves frequent travel would also be an issue for them as they get very attached to their space and the humans they live with. They are incredibly sweet and we would love to find them a loving forever home! Medicals records and vaccines updated on 9/19/23.

Story
I am Moonbeam a quiet settled guy of 10+ yrs. I tend to lay low during the day and am more active in the evening especially dinner time. I was shy when I first arrived at my foster home which includes 3 other cats from young to older than me. I'm not a huggy kissy guy - ew! but I will come for regular pets and visits, I'm being treated for my thyroid which is not unusual at my age. I take my liquid meds fine with my meal. I'm happy with Fancy Feast Turkey flavors and little dry food too. I'd best in a quiet house, where I can settle in to my routine and not be started by loud noise.. Older kids and other cats are fine as long as they are kind and can give me a bit pf space.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Needs to be a single cat at home, we adopted Mizuru(Mama) from the MSPCA in Methuen but she is unable to fit with my cat who is extremely loving and patient. She has sensitive skin and is on gabipatin to reduce or balance her temperament. She loves to sit next to you and cuddle. But not touched. Needs a lot more time to build trust before she allows you to touch her. She needs lots of love and attention. She is neutered and vaccinated. She has been in the shelter for almost a year and we would love it if she could be rehomed to a house that is willing to give her the attention and love she needs. I’ve seen her enjoying herself, running around and chilling when my other cat is at the groomers. She needs to be the only cat.

Story
Disclaimer: I do not know what breed Prince is. Rehoming my 10 year old cat Prince. I got him February of 2013 which would place him around 10 or 11 years old. He's a big cuddlebug. Lived with 3 other cats. 1 cat was rehomed in October of 2020. The other cat moved out with a family member to another home. I would love to keep him but I am very allergic. Every time I get close or hang around him my eyes get itchy and watery and I start sneezing a lot. He has proven he can live with other cats with no issues. Might need some time to get used to them though. He's very playful. I play, slightly rough with him and he takes it quite well. Loves to cuddle, can get along with kids. Willing to bring him to you but will just require money for gas. Obviously, if you're a renter your landlord has to be okay with pets. Other than that I'm not looking for anything else too big.
