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.

Story
Miss Kitty is a charming, sweet, loving lady. She was taken in as a pregnant stray and now enjoys living a care-free life, finding the best spots to nap in the sun. All Miss Kitty wants is to lounge around, enjoy some bonding time, play with her toys, and of course eat some wet food and Greenies. She is a very low key girl and would love nothing more than a stable home where she can claim a few spots of her own to bask in the afternoon light. She loves to sit on the couch and enjoy some pets while watching tv with you. I am heartbroken to rehome her but due to recent life events, I have had to move in with family and they are allergic to cats. She is so sweet and easy to care for. I know she will make someone else very happy and she deserves the best after two tough years as a stray. We think she is around 4 or 5 years old. She is so calm and non-destructive. She would be perfect for someone who has a lot of trinkets as she isn’t tempted to destroy anything or jump on furniture

Story
Hi there , I would love to re home my 3 year old cat. Cliche to say its not her its me. I need her to have a home she has space in to explore. She spent 3 years with me and my new roommate brought a dog who chases her back into my room. This is no way for a cat to live. There are personal reasons for myself my mental state is not the best and I know she deserves a happy home which I cannot provide at the moment. Being honest with myself I would love for her to spend her days in a happy home with space. She is a very independent smart cat, very gentle and will be okay with kids as long as they are gentle with her, if not she will run away under the bed.

Story
Captain (Cappy) is a lovable black kitty. She is in an apartment and I have two roommates and she does not like all the coming and going and is acting out and peeing. She is a real love and I adopted her when she was a baby. She would probably do best in a home that is quiet with not a lot of change or activity going on. PLEASE adopt her she needs a good home ASAP- will give you the entire set up, litter box, toys , litter , carrier case
