Story
Selma is sleeping on the bed and purring when petted. She is food motivated and weight about 14 pounds and is losing weight quickly. She and her sister lived in a room and like to hide but you can win them over by petting them for a quick purr or feeding them treats. They have been to the vet for their spay, shots and always use their litter box. They need a quiet home, but are coming out of their shells. They are extremely bonded and will sit on top of each other causing you to wonder if the bottom cat can breathe. If you are interested in loving these two, contact Jill at 978-969-2389 or dsajill1@yahoo.com

Story
Karina was living in a DPW parking lot. This poor baby had three litters of kittens outside, before PAWS could rescue her. She's extremely shy, but now, after a year, enjoys sitting near her loving foster mom, when she works from home. That's encouraging progress! Her best home will be with an experienced cat owner in a quiet home without other pets or children.

Story
Every cat deserves a good home - is yours the right one for Pam and Flo? This bonded pair of felines is ready to find their permanent one. Flo, a luxurious soft gray, and Pam, midnight black, both with beautiful green eyes, are 8.5-9 yrs old. They met in a shelter, where they spent a long time, and are quite timid. They're good cats and would love a quiet home (no kids, no cats or dogs) where they could have their own space to enjoy the sun and lots of naps. Pam and Flo are perfectly happy just to keep one another company and do not seek out petting or laps. As their photos show, sometimes they're velcro kitties, and sometimes they want their own space. They need lots of time to build trust with their caregiver, one who will be patient and kind and understanding as they slowly settle in. Their foster mom lovingly refer to them as “my decoratives”. Do you know someone who whose home would be perfect for them?

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
An affectionate gal with lots of love to give, 8yo Ophelia has a gentle demeanor and sweet nature. She is quirky and playful, younger than her 8 years would suggest! As a grown woman, Ophelia knows what she wants and will politely let her needs be known by a light meow to remind you it's time for food or by showing you where she'd prefer to be pet. Curious and snuggly, Ophelia's favorite pastimes are greeting you at the door, bathing in a sunny window, and napping nearby her foster mom's feet, a comfy and safe spot. She'll be happiest as your only pet so she can have all of your attention to herself. She will repay your kindness with endless purrs and head butts. Beautiful Ophelia is the epitome of feline resilience and is ready to bring warmth and love into your life.

Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I adopted her from the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, MA six months ago. She is 4 years old. They told me she has a limp in her front legs due to her previous owners throwing her out of a moving car. She does not like being picked up and I think that’s why. I wish for her to go to a quiet and cozy home. She scares easily and hides when spooked. I wish for her to also go to a home where she has hiding spots, a cat tree and a few toys (she loves little fishes attached to a yarn string to chase). When she’s not being aggressive, she was quiet, playful, and cuddly. She has the cutest little meow and purrs.
