Story
She was roaming around my neighborhood over the past few weeks. She’s very sweet but nervous/skittish on presentation. I can’t keep her because I already have a cat and my landlord only allows one cat. She gets along well with my cat, they eat next to each other and haven’t gotten into any tussles at all. (Granted, she did hiss a few times at first)

Story
Minnow was born homeless and living behind a restaurant in the woods. He was very dehydrated and underweight. We believe he wouldn't have lasted much longer, if he had not been rescued when he was. Minnow is currently being fostered in a home with other cats and dogs. He is litter box trained. He absolutely loves chasing the laser light , playing with all of his toys, and watching the birds outside the window. When he gets the zoomies, he likes to run through his cat tunnel as fast as he can back and forth. Minnow is very affectionate, comical, curious, and super smart. He would make a great addition to any family.

Story
Meet Millie or Windmill. Millie was found outside the windmill plant in New Bedford running free and completely feral. She was TNR spayed and but now she is being fostered with hopes of being adopted. Millie’s personality has come out in the weeks we've had her in our care. Originally she was in a cage, scared and hissing at any person and now all she wants is to play and rub against our legs. She is fascinated by everything as she has never been in a house before and loves toys of all kinds, she will play with anything you give her but loves the tunnel most. She is still very awkward about petting but she is coming around and will accept neck and back strokes when she is resting in the sun. She is completely house trained as well and is used to using both clay sand and pellets. She is also good with other cats and potentially older children. ** Millie is indoors only, will not be adopted to outdoor cat owners, read up on dangers of outdoor cats for more info

Story
I’ve had Wayne and Stuart since they were babies but I’m moving and can no longer maintain a pet household. These cats are the most loving, affectionate, curious, cuddly and playful cats ever. Wayne is all black and loves to eat treats and play with his toys, his favorite is a toy mushroom and crinkly ball. Stuart is black and white and loves to cuddle and take naps. Wayne and Stuart are brothers from the same litter, but more importantly they are best friends and bonded and should stay together. Wayne and Stuart love to play hide and seek together under blankets, use their treat board together, and look out the window at birds. And they would make amazing additions to any family!

These cats are in Providence, Rhode Island too!

Story
Meet Inky! Adoption Fee: $249 Adoption Application: https://forms.gle/NCYmet7DbsGM6zr36 It was a busy day at a local warehouse when an employee heard the softest little mews coming from inside a stack of pallets. When they looked closer, they found not one, not two… but NINE kittens tucked safely inside! They immediately called our rescue for help, and we brought all these little ones to safety. These kittens appear to be three small groups, likely born at different times, but all found together in the pallets. They’re all healthy, thriving, and absolutely adorable. We have all different colors and personalities—something for everyone! These sweethearts can be adopted in pairs, and we’re happy to help you choose the perfect match based on age, personality, and what you’re looking for. If you’re ready to add a pair of warehouse-cuties to your family, reach out to us! We’d love to tell you more about each one and help you find your perfect kittens. They would thrive in homes where they’ll get plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Adopting in pairs is highly encouraged so they’ll always have a buddy to play and snuggle with, but they can also be adopted individually to a home with another friendly cat. Apply today to give one (or more!) of these sweethearts the forever family they deserve. Fill out an application today and bring home your new best friend—or adopt a pair for double the love!
