Story
Gilmore is a 4-year-old neutered male who showed up at a colony feeding station but clearly remembered the comforts of indoor life. This gentle old soul loves being near his people and doesn’t mind being picked up and held. He’ll happily keep you company while you read or watch TV. Gilmore has adorable mealtime habits — weaving between your legs and chirping to encourage faster service! He appears to enjoy other cats and, with proper introductions, should do well with a feline friend. He’s ready to leave outdoor life behind and settle into a loving forever home. ##2677563##

Story
Meet Mystic! 🐾 Mystic is an 8-year-old loving momma cat who’s looking for her forever home. Rescued as a tiny kitten, she’s raised three litters and now deserves a peaceful, cozy space to call her own. Mystic is sweet and affectionate, but she has a little spunky side—she knows what she likes! Because of her independent streak, she would do best in a home with no small children or other pets. She would thrive with an experienced cat lover who can appreciate her personality and give her the calm, patient environment she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a touch of sass, Mystic might be the perfect match!

Story
Bormio - a rare gem – is a 2yo, social butterfly who will greet you and guests with countless headbutts. He loves his humans so much that if you place him in your lap, he’ll happily stay there. Bormio is a delightful blend of playful energy and affection who is just as happy being your snuggly work-from-home partner as he is being doted on. He is a clever and smart little guy who has learned to ‘sit’ on cue. This affectionate boy thrives on companionship and is searching for a loving, engaging forever home as your only pet. Bormio is a great candidate for a family environment as he is unfazed by loud noise, making him well-suited for busy households. So come on, let’s meet! Visit pawswakefieldma.org and complete an adoption application and we’ll be in touch.
