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
We adopted Maude from PAWS Wakefield in early 2019. The Shelter estimated she was still under a year old then, which would make her around 6 years old now. Maude needs a stable and quiet home with no young children or other pets. She is very sweet and affectionate with adults, but as our young son is getting older, louder, and more mobile, our tiny city apartment is not the right place for her any longer. She is up to date with all shots, and is checked yearly with our vet. She is an indoor cat strictly, and is spade. It breaks our hearts to rehome her, but as our family expands and grows we realize she needs a better permanent situation.

Story
Sunny was born in Chelsea Ma on April 16, 2015. Sunny is well named as she lives for the sun. When I got her at 6 weeks old I already had another cat, a large female tabby that Sunny had no problem getting used to and holding her own. The two cats lived together for five years before my other cat died of cancer. They were great friends and I think Sunny still misses life with another pet around. I've had her for nine years and she has been a good and loyal pet. She sleeps on the bed at night, she hangs out in whatever room I'm in. I had her spayed before her first heat at Angell Memorial. She's had all her shots. I've developed breathing and allergy issues. I've put it off but I finally have to find a solution, which means Sunny needs a new home. I'm hoping to find someone who could love her the rest of the way.

Story
I got Zeus when he was one week old as a gift. Zeus is three years old and is a very loving cat. He has a very calming disposition. He loves to lie on the foot of the bed constantly. He loves belly rubs and rubbing against your face. What I am looking for is someone willing to take excellent care of him and attend to his medical Unfortunately at one years old we discovered he had a urinary tract disease that requires a specific diet with a prescription from the vets. The person must have the means to provide for his care and vet visits yearly. He is a very special cat that will bring a lot of love and comfort to anyone who's lucky enough to have him. The only reason we are rehoming him is because I have severe allergies to cats and it's caused me to have severe asthma. Zeus & Poseidon are twin brothers. It would be ideal if he & Poseidon were adopted together because they have been a bonded pair since birth. He is an indoor car & doesn't like the outdoors
