Luca is an impish little guy, about nine months old, who needs a home. Like most kittens, he's a playful bundle of energy in feline form, running around with mischievous intent and horsing around with his foster mom. He's an affectionate little guy who responds to petting with a robust purr, We have not observed him with dogs, other cats, or kids, but he seems to like everyone, and we believe he'll do well with kids who know how to treat cats respectfully. He should be adopted into a home where he will not be left unaccompanied for long periods of time. Luca will bring an abundance of love and laughter to any home. He seems like an easy boy suitable for a first-time adopter.

He has been:
- neutered
- vaccinated as age-appropriate
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV
- treated for worms and fleas

His adopter will receive his medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. He's being fostered in Wellesley.

[Courtesy post for an independent rescuer]
PQ and Jamie are a bonded pair of sisters, about five years old, who need a home. They had their world turned upside down when the person who meant the world to them passed away, so, naturally, it took them a while to adjust to their foster home, but their warm personalities soon emerged, showing them to be affectionate, loving girls. We have not observed them with dogs or kids, but they seem frightened by loud, sudden noises, so they would not do well with the bustle of young children, but we think they'd be okay with older kids who know how to treat cats respectfully. These girls will be devoted companions for life.

They have been:
- spayed
- given rabies and distemper vaccinations
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV
- treated for worms and fleas
- examined and determined to be healthy by a vet

Their adopter will receive their medical records. Because they are a bonded pair, they must be adopted together. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. There is a small discount to facilitate getting them adopted together. The total adoption fee for the two of them is $240-- a bargain for two girls who will be your best friends for the rest of their lives. They're being fostered in Hyde Park.

If there were a contest for the world's friendliest cat, Katie would surely be a contender. She is an energetic little bundle of sweetness who loves to play with her foster one minute, then curl up with her the next. She does well with the other cats, dogs, and baby in her foster home. She should be adopted into an interactive home where she'll get lots of attention and won't be left unaccompanied for long. Katie is an adorable little pixie with a personality that will fill any room, and any home with warmth, love, and fun. She so affectionate that she even drools a bit sometimes while being pet. Even people in our vet's office commented on her sweetness and gentleness. She would be a great choice for a first-time adopter.

She has been:
- spayed
- given rabies and distemper vaccinations
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
- treated for worms and fleas
- examined and determined to be healthy by two vets

Her adopter will receive her medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. In Brittany's case that fee has been reduced to facilitate a quick adoption. She's being fostered in Charlestown.

Little Daisy, a little under a year old, was rescued from a rather appalling hoarder. She didn't get enough human interaction in her earlier life, so it took her a while to get out of her shell in her foster home, but, once she did, she embraced being pet, enjoyed playing with toys, and gradually became more comfortable in her surroundings. Daisy tends to withdraw when she's around other cats, so she should be the sole princess of her feline castle. She gets easily startled by sudden noises, so she would probably so best adopted into a quiet environment without the bustle of young children, and by someone with enough patience to help her adjust to her new home. She would not do well consistently unaccompanied for long periods of time. Daisy is a sweet girl who oozes cuteness. Whoever adopts her will gain a loving, devoted companion for life.

She has
- been spayed
- been vaccinated as age-appropriate
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
- been treated for fleas and worms

Their adopter will receive their medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. She's being fostered in Cambridge.

Little Bella is a petite, pink-nosed tuxedo girl who was rescued as a frightened, hungry stray after having been abandoned outside to fend for herself over the winter. At only a year old, Bella is barely more than a kitten and, at less than eight pounds, she isn't much larger than one. She's an affectionate, well-behaved little lass who loves to play and keep people company while watching TV or on the computer. She has a history of getting along with dogs and other cats, but we have not observed her with kids. We think she would do well with kids who know how to treat cats respectfully. She would do best in a home where she will not be left unaccompanied for long periods of time. Bella will be as devoted a companion as anyone could ever want. Give her love, and she will return a thousand times more. She seems to be an easy cat who would be an excellent choice for a first-time adopter.

Bella has been:
- Spayed
- given rabies and distemper vaccinations
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV
- treated for worms and fleas
- examined and determined to be healthy by a vet

Her adopter will receive her medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. She's being fostered in Melrose.

Lucky is a lovely brown-tabby-and-white girl, about a year old, who lost her home due to an eviction. She was living in a van when she was surrendered. Lucky is as sweet a little lady as you are ever likely to meet. She would do best in an interactive home with someone who will give her lots of attention and play time, and where she will not be left unaccompanied for long periods of time. Her foster says that she's both playful and cuddly-- definitely a curl-up-near-you cat, a sleep-with-you cat, and a love-you-the-rest-of-her-life cat. We have not observed her with dogs, other cats. or kids. We think she would probably do well with kids who know how to treat cats respectfully. Lucky is an affectionate, energetic girl who loves to be pet and is everything anyone could want in an animal companion. We think she would be suitable for a first-time adopter.

She has:
- been spayed
- been given rabies and distemper vaccinations
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
- been treated for fleas and worms

Lucky has a food allergy that necessitates her eating prescription food, As such, any other cat who lives with her would also need to eat this food. It costs about the same as high-end cat food you might but at a pet-supply store. Her adopter will receive her medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. She's being fostered in Brighton.

Taffy and Laffy have been adopted.
[Courtesy post for an independent rescuer]

What we have here is a sort of odd-couple bonded pair between a kitten and an adult. Tuxedo boy Taffy, about 4-5 months old, is as cute a kitten as anyone could ever hope for. He was rescued off the street as a frightened, hungry abandoned stray. Six-year-old Laffy is a grey-and-white boy who came out of a hoarding situation where he did not receive much human attention, and reclusively hid in his foster home until playful, cuddly Taffy came along. Laffy took to the little guy quickly, adopting the role of a nurturing uncle: watching over him, rough-housing with him, and generally looking after him. In turn, Taffy helped Laffy come out of his shell and gradually accept more human interaction to the point where he's fine hanging out and playing with people. He sees little purring machine Taffy enjoy being pet, which has helped Laffy's caring nature emerge. It's quite touching to see. We haven't observed them with children or dogs. We think they would do well with children who are mature enough to treat cats respectfully and understand their dynamic.

These boys should be adopted into an interactive home where they’ll get lots of play and attention, and it would be best if they were the only cats in their adoptive home. They’d be an excellent pair for an adopter who wants a friendly little kitten, and is willing to be patient with Laffy as he adjusts more slowly. Because they are bonded to each other, they must be adopted together.

They have been neutered, are current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. Their adopter will receive their medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. Their adoption fee has been reduced to a mere $325-- a bargain for a pair of new family members. They’re being fostered in Boston. Please inquire via email to [email protected] and include your phone number for a faster response.

Brownie is a sweet, affectionate girl, a little under a year old, who was surrendered with her sister Toti (posted separately) by someone who was moving, decided not to bring them along, and was about to dump them onto the street when a rescuer intervened just in time. She's a sweet brown-tabby girl with wide eyes that seem to give her a permanent look of surprise. Brownie thrives on attention and enjoys chasing toys and playing with other cats, making her a wonderful companion for both humans and fellow felines. We have not observed her with dogs or kids; we think she would do well with kids who know how to treat cats respectfully. She can be adopted separately or with her sister Toti (posted separately). Brownie would do best in an interactive home where she will get lots of play time and not be left unaccompanied for long periods of time. With her affectionate nature and friendly personality, she’s sure to bring joy and happiness to anyone lucky enough to adopt her. She seems to be suitable for a first-time adopter.

Sparrow is an adorable brown-tabby girl, about a year and a half old, who needs a home. She was rescued off the street, frightened, hungry, after she'd been cruelly left out there to fend for herself by someone who moved away. Despite that, she has not lost any of her sweetness. You know how most cats are a little shy at first? Well, that tends to last only a few minutes with Sparrow. Even everyone at the vet's office commented on how sweet she was, even getting her shots. Her fosters say she's an affectionate girl who likes being pet, and she responds with a warm purr. Sparrow is not a fan of other cats, so she should be the sole princess in her new home. She must be adopted into an interactive home where she'll get lots of attention and won't be left unaccompanied for long. We have not observed her with dogs or kids, but we think she'd do well with kids who know how to treat cats respectfully. Sparrow is an easy cat who seems suitable for a first-time adopter.

Rascal is a friendly black-and-white boy, about one-two years old, who was rescued as a frightened, hungry stray after he was abandoned by the person who meant the world to him. Although he was shy at first, he certainly isn't any more. If there were a competition for World's Friendliest cat, Rascal would surely be a contender. He is an affectionate, social boy with a personality that will fill the room. While he's a bit intimidated by other cats, he loves to interact with people, so he should be adopted into a home where he will get lots of play time and not be unaccompanied for long periods of time. We have not observed him with kids or dogs. We think he would do well with kids who know how to treat cats respectively. Rascal is an easy cat who would probably be an excellent choice for a first-time adopter.

Dozer is a quirky calico girl, about a year old with plenty of kitten energy. She likes being pet in small doses on her terms, but don't let that fool you into thinking she's at all aloof because she's definitely friendly! She's as adorable little girl who adoringly follows her foster mom from room to room and sometimes curls up on her chest when she lies down. As you can see in the video, she gets along with her foster mom's cat, as well as her dogs. She should be adopted into a home in which she will get lots of attention and play time. Dozer's foster mom says she's among the sweetest cats ever.

She has been:
- spayed
- given rabies and distemper vaccinations
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV

Harley, about 11 months old, is a playful boy who was rescued from a rather appalling hoarder.
