Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Worcester, Massachusetts

-

A woman was too ill to care for her cats. Sneaky is 2 years old; Ollie is 10. The cats weren`t bonded. Actually, Sneaky isn`t a fan of other animals. She likes to be alone, so that she can spend more time with people. Sneaky enjoys attention. You can rub her head and stroke her ears. We don`t know if she`s a lap cat, but Sneaky will be near you to watch what you`re doing or snuggle against you.

Meet Maeve, a sweet and resilient kitty on the lookout for a loving home! Diagnosed with liver disease in January, Maeve was initially given a short time to live. Yet, here she is, thriving well beyond expectations! Thanks to her special prescription food and medication, Maeve's liver has significantly improved, and she's enjoying a stable quality of life. Maeve is a gentle, wise companion who delights in being close to her people. She adores belly rubs and shows her affection with gentle baths from her tongue. Maeve enjoys short bursts of playtime with string toys, usually just 5-10 minutes a day, but is equally happy to relax by your side while you go about your day. She’s quite vocal when she wants food, playtime, or just to let you know she’s claiming her favorite spot. With the right introduction, Maeve might also do well with another cat. If you have room in your heart for a special needs kitty who is truly a medical miracle, Maeve could be the perfect addition to your family. To learn more about Maeve or to schedule a meet and greet, please fill out our brief online prescreen here: https://bit.ly/3yRGpMD.

ISO: attentive, patient man who comes immediately when I meow lovingly (like my foster dad does when he comes home from work!). I also greatly enjoy when he pets me while I'm eating my favorite dry food, or better yet when he gives me a good brush-down with my slicker brush. He must also possess cozy blankets on the couch or on chairs for me to sit on and curl up in. Sometimes it's also nice when he can be there too since I can jump up and get even more pets, especially under my chin! Other must haves include a variety of cardboard scratchers, catnip (oh gosh this is my absolute favorite), and these bird-like things that are attached to sticks. They call them wands - makes no sense. I guess if he has cats already I could accept them, although it'll definitely take me a bit of time. Sometimes I've really liked having my foster brother to play with, but a lady needs her own space that's clean and tidy, you know? That's another non-negotiable! Speaking of ladies - my foster mom is ok, but she keeps putting stuff quickly on my ear twice a day, and it really messes with my flow. I know it's blah blah, super important transdermal medication for my hyperthyroidism, blah blah. She insists it keeps me healthy, and maybe that's why I look so great? Or maybe it's my daily exercise play with these "wand toys"...anyways, no one said I had to like being handled, so I always make sure to grumble a lot. I don't think she minds since she still kisses my head every night. I'm 11 years young and I know what I want, so meet me in Belmont today! Time's ticking!

Tootsie is a 10 (or maybe 12, math isn't our strong suit) year old cutie looking for a forever home where she can relax, be loved, and supervise all of your activities! Tootsie is an independent, wise companion who will make you feel special when she decides to purr or rub against your legs. She likes head and butt scratches while walking and will kindly tolerate kisses on her head while she's lounging. Like any shy lady, she will take some time to open up but she is very loving once she does. She's looking for a home who understands this and will work with her to build up her trust and confidence in a new place. Once she's settled, she will come to greet you when you wake up and when you get home. She also enjoys being a shoulder cat for brief stints, as well as window perches and heated blankets. Tootsie takes twice daily medication to manage her hyperthyroidism, which she takes like a champ. She is declawed in her front paws so she will need a gentler litter to keep her comfortable.
