Story
Meet Maverick! 🤍🐾 Maverick is a handsome 3–3½-year-old gentleman with the perfect balance of playful and cuddly. After being found living on the streets, he was welcomed into a home where he quickly proved what a wonderful companion he is. Unfortunately, severe allergies meant his family could no longer keep him, so Maverick is now being fostered in Massachusetts while he waits for his forever home. This sweet boy loves meeting new people, receiving all the pets, playing with his toys, and curling up for a good cuddle. He’s also perfectly content entertaining himself when his people are busy. One of his favorite pastimes is stretching out in a sunny spot—especially when he can safely enjoy the outdoors from an enclosed area. ☀️ Maverick loves people and does well with children. He has not been around other cats or dogs, so his compatibility with furry siblings is currently unknown. If you’re looking for an affectionate, friendly companion with plenty of personality, Maverick may be your perfect match! 💙

Story
Reggie came to me as a foster, which was only supposed to last for a couple of months while his owner looked for a job and a cat friendly apartment. Unfortunately, a year later the owner is still out of work and I don’t have the space to keep Reggie in my home indefinitely. Please note that Reggie is a senior cat with FIV. I believe that he would be happiest as an only pet, but he could probably adjust to another pet if that pet can keep its distance from him. I have a cat (FIV free) and dog and keeping him separated from my cat is doable but an ordeal. Reggie is a love bug but it takes a while for him to warm up to new people. He hates having his paws touched, but loves to be petted and have his belly rubbed.

Story
These sweet babies were found abandoned with no mama in site. They were found days old and there eyes were not open yet. A lovely lady fostered them back to health! They would make a lovely pair. They are currently in foster with a dog but they haven't interacted that much. We think they would be fine with a calm dog and time! They are ready and can be sent off to their forever home with a spay contract in place:). ##2853516##

Story
Charlotte was adopted from a shelter in TN. I got her when she was a kitten. She is now 3 years old. She is such a sweet, gentle and cuddly cat. I adopted Charlotte shortly before I had my daughter and as my daughter has entered toddlerhood she has become stressful for Charlotte. She loves Charlotte but she will grab her, chase her, become loud, etc. This has resulted in Charlotte peeing on our beds. I consulted with our vet and have taken steps to help address the stress (wall plug-in, probiotic in her food, etc.) which helped for awhile but she has continued to pee on occasion. She is truly a wonderful cat and there are no other issues at all. Because the peeing is caused by stress related to my daughter I don’t foresee her having any issues in a new home. She has never tried to swat at or scratch my daughter. I think she would even be fine in a home with children just not young kids that might try to grab or chase her.

Story
Nina is a young American Shorthair who is looking for a new home. I found her living on the streets and pregnant. I cared for her and her kittens; now that her kittens have found homes, Nina is ready for her own forever family. I am bringing her to the vet to get her spayed and caught up on shots.Nina is:• Super affectionate• Docile and gentle• A cuddle bug who loves to be petted and sleep with you• Looking for a home without other cats I would keep her myself, but she hits and hisses at my two older cats; I can't put my 14-year-old cats through that. She is very sweet with her 3-month-old kittens.
