Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Lawrence, Massachusetts

Graygi: I am a friendly, playful young guy. I am also a FLUTD cat. Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) describes a collection of conditions that can affect the bladder and urethra of cats. Cats with FLUTD usually have episodes of straining and discomfort when urinating, increased frequency of urination, and blood in the urine. Sometimes these symptoms can be caused by a urinary tract infection or bladder stones, but most commonly a cause is not identified. Stress can be a factor in these episodes and cats with this condition should be monitored closely in the period of adjustment after adoption. Urethral obstruction (when a cat is unable to urinate) is a potentially life-threatening condition and can be the most serious complication of FLUTD. The shelter cannot provide management of this condition after adoption, and it is recommended that the adopter promptly establish care with a primary veterinarian for ongoing management of this condition. We recommend having multiple litter boxes in the home, using unscented clumping litter, scooping the boxes at least daily, and feeding a canned food diet.I had a borderline increase of protein loss in my urine (UPC). This can be due to being intact or have other reasons. It is recommended to recheck a urine protein creatinine ration in 4-6 months at your regular veterinarian. Be sure to stop by to meet me and speak with the Matchmakers in Cat Adoption about me ... they know me and can tell you everything you should know about me!

Care Bear: I am a big hunk of a man with a shiny, envious black coat! I have a good history being able to be snuggly and affectionate with my previous owners, and I havegood litter box manners! I want to be the only cat in my home since I have a history of not getting along with other cats. Trust me, I am cat enough for any loving home! I am conflicted about close handling. Despite my solicitous behavior, I may be more of a pet myself on you kind of cat until I am more comfortable. My adopters should be cat-savvy and be able to read my body language. They should not push me for interactions, and use consent tests. A slow introduction to my new home and litter box is an imperative must. I struggle with transition and may show this with avoidant or conflicted behavior (hissing, swatting, but choosing to stay close). My adopter should be counseled to start me in one quiet room and gradually give me more access only when I am confidently moving about my environment. Compatibility:Dogs: Possibly with a slow introduction: no history Cats: No thanks!Kids: Possibly, older and able to give him space as he settles in The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30 pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

  So many stories in the rescue world about cats and they all seem to have the same start all too often and too sad.  This stunning grey tabby and white boy is called Chester, he is just barely one year of age and born to a stray momma cat.  Living outdoors all his life, his momma brought him and his littermates to a family house where she hoped to be fed and to care for her litter born outside a home.  Somehow her 4 kittens survived and here is Chester to prove that miracles can happen for these lost and forgotten mommas and their babies.  Chester is now a very handsome 13 pound boy that has been invited inside a foster home and is being given the wide berth to relax and make himself at home as a pampered and well fed adult cat.  He’s still super shy and will hide a lot under the bed, but he is starting to come out for some play time and chin scratches.  In just 4 days he has made such strides and advancements to allow toys to entice him to come out several times without fear and allow his new foster mom Joyce to pet him and given him chin rubs.  He is learning to be petted and to trust this new foster mom.  He and his littermates are all grown up but very young and they are getting better with the litterbox training and are eating with a hearty appetite.  We feel that time and patience will see Chester and his siblings stay out from under a bed or in hiding more and more as they learn they are safe and have a promise of food and love every day for the rest of their life.  If you are interested in helping Chester learn daily how to receive love and be happy with being touched, then please email us and ask to foster him or adopt him.   Please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com we are anxious to find a capable home to love him all the way. Our vetting is extensive: Spay, rabies, FIV vaccine, FIV tested and negative, fecal and dewormings and a Drontal  and microchipped. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.  November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm

Meet Bigsby, also known as Ms. Bigg, a pretty grey and cream tabby who is about eight or nine years old.    Bigsby is a dog in a cat's body, according to her foster's friends. She earned this reputation by coming out of the woodwork and demanding attention from them whenever they visit. Without fail, as soon as a visitor sits in her favorite chair, she assumes this is an invitation to get attention and sprawls on their chest and shoulder and purrs. When her foster worked from home, she was the Official Office Cat and was often the unintentional star of a few Zoom/Teams meetings; her foster has since RTO'd, which makes Bigsby sad. She is very affectionate and wants to be with her people.   Currently, she's living in a house with a few other cats and a couple of big dogs (coonhounds); she doesn't create issues with any of them, though she's not exactly snuggly with them, either. She would likely do just fine as a solo cat or in a household with other pets. Beyond human attention and the standard food, water and a clean litter box, she needs just one thing every day: allergy medication. She's not exactly 'special needs' or high maintenance; her allergy meds keep her healthy and happy.  She is missing most of her teeth, but that doesn't hold her back in any way; the only concession being made for that is wet pate food once a day with dry kibble available on a free-feed basis.    Bigsby is a fantastic, engaging older cat who deserves her own human to love her.  She is totally vetted and ready for her forever home.  If you think  will be the purrfect addition to your family please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Bigsby is in Tennessee and can be transported to the northeast upon adoption.)  November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm
