Story
Murphy S. Law has adopted our yard. The neighbors verified he has been a stray since kittenhood here. He was completely feral upon introduction to us, but has been domesticated over the past 18 months. We took him to the vet for shots and to be neutered when we got the news he is FIV+. Murphy is not friendly toward our indoor cats, however, he is obsessed with kisses from our dogs. He desires to be indoors so badly he is constantly hanging by the door to sneak underfoot. Murph meows like a film noir gangster, flops like a sumo wrestler, and runs when he does not recognize you in sunglasses. Murph has a safe place to sleep, but he’s 100% outdoor and deserves his own nerdy household that can let him pass the threshold. Has FIV, but he is a healthy little trooper. Murph Smurf needs a kind, patient person willing to accept cuddle sessions and silliness while teaching him how to loosen up and be an indoor furbaby.

Story
Oreo is a very intelligent and curious cat. He needs someone that has time to play with him. He can be very loveable, he will sometimes get in your lap and touch your face with his paw. He spends most of his time indoors, however, he likes to adventure outside occasionally. He loves running water. If you smooth his fur down on the side of his head, he looks like Batman. :) He was born OCT/NOV 2015. He is healthy if a little over weight. My wife brought him home. She is not here anymore and I am unable to provide a good home for him.

Story
Currently located in: Winterport, ME! Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!) Good with dogs: eh, they may be ok with well mannered dogs but are not used to them at all! Good with cats: They are ok with other cats but prefer to be alone or with each other, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/ Good with kids: Yes! Litter box trained: Yes! House trained: Yes! Meet Olive & Pickles Olive (female, 2-3 years old, long fur grey) and Pickles (female, 2-3 years old, tabby) were surrendered to Whiskers Fund because their owners living situation had changed and she was unable to care for them any longer. These two girls have been together for a while now but are not super bonded. We would like to keep them together as a pair since they do keep each other company, but also don't expect that they will be snuggled up together. Pickles is the tabby girl with big eyes! She is super sweet and loves to rub on your legs and demands attention! Olive chirps to let you know she is ready and available for all your love! Both girls enjoy snuggles but do take a little time to warm up, but not long! Olive & Pickles think temptations treats are THE BEST EVER and will get very excited when they hear the jar shake with the yummies they know are forthcoming! These girls will melt your heart! Pickles and Olive love toys! Pickles loves the little catnip mice best while Olive loves anything as long as it involves catnip! Pickles loves plush blankets and climbing up high on her cat tree while Olive likes to get comfy on squishy comfy beds!

Story
Currently located in: York, ME! Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!) Good with dogs: yes, they are good with curious dogs as long as they do not chase them Good with cats: Yes, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/ Good with kids: Yes, we think older kids may be better as these two are very scared and timid! Litter box trained: Yes! House trained: Yes! Meet Willow & Oz! Willow & Oz were found abandoned with their family. There was a mom, 2 neonatal babies, a dad, an uncle and 3 kittens. We believe Willow & Oz are a bonded Father/Daughter duo. They all were just left behind in an apartment after the tenants were evicted. They had no access to food or water, had to live in their own waste and clearly they were abused. Willow & Oz are learning how to trust humans again. They are very timid and afraid, but slowly starting to come around. Willow is a bit more brave than her dad, but not very much! They both very much enjoy temptations treats! This father/daughter duo are often found huddled together for comfort. They really rely on each other and are pretty much glued together always! Willow & Oz are going to need time, patiences and an adoptive family willing to give them the time to trust and love again. We estimate that Willow is about 5 months old and Oz is probably around a year old. They surprisingly are house trained and are completely adorable! You can pet them, but they are not excited about being held just yet. If you think you are the right home for them, please apply to adopt them here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScq8ShXPVGLfrGHlIYMk0plgI_PJxOEMdr8QItpQMXYCnluvg/viewform All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes.

Currently located in: Boston, MA! Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!) Good with dogs: Yes, they do fine with well mannered dogs! Good with cats: Yes, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/ Good with kids: Yes! Litter box trained: Yes! House trained: Yes! Meet Jonsey & Sassy! Jonsey & Sassy met in foster care but you'd never know they were not brother and sister from birth! Oh our little sassy girl! She came to us very afraid and didn’t enjoy company or cuddles but now she loves to curl up in a blanket once her belly is full! She plays with her brother (from another litter) and cuddles with other cats! She’s the sweetest little girl! Jonsey had a rough start to life. He was found by good samaritans. He was left on the side of the road and we assume was hit by a car. He needed emergency surgery as he had a huge gash on his face and he ended up losing an eye. But we have to say... that does NOT slow him down! He has recovered purrfectly and is just an amazing little guy. To know him is to love him!
