Story
I adopted this cat last year. She is 3 years old indoor cat. I wish to find a new home for her local in Boston. She’s quiet and good. She’s just afraid of any type of traveling. I’m leave U.S. and I cannot take her with me. Her vaccine just overdue September. I don’t have time to take her for a new vaccine. If needed I can pay for the vaccine. She’s afraid of new environment but she will quickly adapt.

Story
Meet Petey and Pablo! 🐾🖤 These 2 sweet brothers are 8 weeks old, bonded, and love napping and playing together. Together they bring the right blend of chill and playful for any cat lover’s home. Petey – who has a few white hairs on his chin, is the first to greet you at the door and loves to play! Pablo is a bit more shy, but will curl up into your lap after a long nap or playtime with his brother. Brothers who are built-in best friends: this dynamic duo brings it all! These bonded kitties are hoping to find their forever home together 🐾

Story
Looking for a foster home or adopter with a two person household. Stella is a 3-year-old tuxedo who needs a foster. She has been well cared for in her current foster home but she needs two people to administer an inhaler to treat her asthma so we are looking to move her to a home with at least two adults to care for her. She has some other medical issues including thyroid disease which is stable on meds and some tic like movements that will be worked up. She is a sweet cat who will let you know when she wants to be petted and loves her head and neck rubbed. She's not a lap cat but when she's comfortable will sit next to you and seek out attention. She loves her toys and does a little dance when she knows you are going to feed her. Please fill out an application and help this little girl get the care that she needs.

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
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.
