Kittens and cats in Revere, Massachusetts

-

I got Chewbacca when he was 10 weeks old. He came from a breeder in southern NH. He is going to be 3 years old in February, his birthday is 2/22/22. I think a great home for him would be a home with a large family and even other pets. He is very sociable and gets along well with other cats and even dogs. He is vocal, lovable and slightly demanding. When I got him we were living in a house in Andover. My living arrangements have changed and now we are in an apartment in Melrose. I don’t feel that he is happy here and I will have to move in April. I love him very much, but would rather see him happy with a great family than unhappy in a small apartment with me. I will hate to part with him, but his happiness is more important to me. If I had known my living arrangements would changed so soon I would not have gotten him. I will be very selective with his new living arrangements.

This is Mystico- the temporary name given to him. He is a stray - was found very skinny, hanging around my building for a few months. He is not microchipped nor fixed. The vet said he is between 1-2 years old, and is up to date on all of his shots. He is house trained, very friendly, very vocal, and loves cuddles. I would keep him, but I already have three of my own and would not be able to provide him the attention he deserves. We want to make sure he goes to a wonderful home, so we would like to set up a Zoom call to make sure he is the right fit. NO SOLICITATIONS. Don't inquire about this cat unless you are very serious.

To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Winona and Ryder are an adorable bonded pair of 9 month old kitten siblings. Here’s what their foster human says about them:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? They are both so sweet! They love attention and asks for pets everywhere, all the time. Winona has the cutest little meow and she LOVES catnip. Ryder loves belly rubs, and is very curios and gently, but it is a bit more shy than his sister.   Does the cat enjoy being pet? Oh yes, they both love pets! Winona has the softest fur I've ever touched. She feels like a chinchilla more than a kitty!   If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? Everywhere! Ryder particularly loves belly rubs – he flops over if you rub his back for a bit and offers up that cute tummy for as long as you'll pet it haha. Winona even likes to roll over for belly rubs sometimes and she has the softest chubby belly ever.   Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? They’re not huge fans of ear rubs.   Does the cat come on your lap? Winona’s starting to! If I sit down on the floor in my fostering room, she has started to show interest in laying on my lap. She's just still a little wary I think. Ryder laid on my lap and I rubbed him all over 2 days ago for the first time. He loved it. His previous owner mentioned he loved to sit on her lap too.   Does the cat like to be held? I've picked Winona up a few times and so has my boyfriend. She lets us, but begrudgingly I think. She definitely could get used to it though I believe. Ryder’s okay with it. He might get a little scared at first but once I talk to him and reassure him and pet him, he starts to calm down. He doesn't love being held for long periods of time though, but I think he could be trained to like it.   Does the cat sleep in your bed? No, I keep my personal cats separated from my fosters.   Does the cat seek your attention? Winona would be attached to my hip if she could be, I honestly think. I have to leave her room so she'll actually eat her food and not just beg me for attention haha. Ryder also seeks attention whenever he can! He's a lot more whiny than his sister. He will yell at me soo much until I pet him a bunch or give him food lol. But it's a funny, cute meow at least.   Does the cat like to play? If you give Winona catnip, yes! Ryder hasn’t played with me yet.   What are the cat's favorite games and toys? Putting catnip on a scratcher bed is Winona’s favorite thing. She rolls all around and practically does somersaults lol. Ryder loves his cat tower. He seems to have fun climbing all over it and scratching at the posts.   How vocal is the cat? Winona yells at me for food often. And occasionally she'll yell at me for pets. Ryder’s more vocal than his sister, but not as vocal as my personal Siamese cat lol. He is very high pitched and can be a little needy.   What kinds of sounds does the cat make? Winona makes meows, but she can turn up the volume if she's really hungry haha. Ryder makes shrill meows, and little chirps and trills occasionally   Does the cat scratch a scratcher? Yes! I have a round scratcher bed and a few posts/pads that Winona loves. Ryder uses a scractcher too but not as much as his sister. He prefers the actual cat tower with its scratching posts built in.   Does the cat always use the litter box? Yes! They were originally surrendered because they wasn't using a robotic litter box. I have 2 regular boxes in the foster room for the siblings currently and they've not had a single issue using them.   What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? They eat royal canin indoor wet morsels, and royal canin dry kibble. About a cup of kibble between the two throughout the day, and 3-5 cans a day. Depends on their appetite that day.   Is the cat picky about food? Not at all. I've tried friskies and fancy feast wet food with them too, and they loved it just as much.   What is the cat's favorite treat? They both love Churu style treats!   Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? Never. The first 2 days I had them, Winona did hiss gently a few times but hasn't since. But that’s been it for both of them.   Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Never.   Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? Nope.   Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? Never.   To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? Winona’s very friendly! I genuinely believe she loves people. She doesn't seem shy or scared of anything. Ryder’s a little more shy. But once he knows someone’s cool, he warms up so well. He's so affectionate with everyone he meets, it just takes him a few minutes.   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? I really just recommend doing that catnip on a scratcher bed thing for Winona. She goes crazy and it's so funny and cute. She's very roly-poly for a chunky cat haha. Ryder’s eyes are hilarious to me. They're HUGE and bright yellow. They are really pretty eyes, but he looks like an alien sometimes! It's so funny and cute.   In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? Winona’s SO sweet and funny. Her fur is simply the softest ever. And she's just stunning in general. Ryder’s got so much love to give. He really does deserve a very kind owner who can give him as much attention as possible. He’s a sweetheart, you just need to show him that you're a safe person and that you love him too.   What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? I was worried about the litter box, but they’ve been great about it. 2 boxes and scoop them at least once a day. And they’ve been doing fine using them Ryder’s very skittish when my dogs bark upstairs. I don't think he'd be great living with rambunctious/loud dogs like mine.
