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.

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
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.

Story
Maximus was originally found in Florida at a trailer park in 2016. He was flown up to Boston, MA and brought to the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, MA. From there I adopted Max in 2017 when he was 1.5 years. I saw him in a cat room alone in a cage alone. So my gut told me that he can't be with other cats. I don't know how he is with dogs. He is great with children, however I'd be careful around toddlers as they are unpredictable. I would say he'd be ok with children 5 and up. Max does not mind to be picked up, but not held for long. He loves to cuddle and sit on your lap. Max has had Urinary health issues a few times within the 6 years I've had him. Urinary health in male cats and dogs are very common and need to be on a special urinary diet food. Max loves to play with stringed toys and have the occasional catnip. He's also very sociable with guests and visitors. Max has a lot of anxiety and would do better with a daily calming aid, med or a feliway plug in.

Story
Jack is a 4 year old sweet boy who loves to be pet and loves a nice nap. He has been in a home with dogs and a Guinea pig and his sister cat. Jack takes a minute to warm up to new people but once he does he is the happiest boy and will become your instant best friend. Unfortunately we are moving to another country and can no longer keep him as Italy wouldn’t be a good home for him and he would be miserable on the travel etc.
