I am Coconut, a very sweet and confident kitten. One of my favorite activities is to make biscuits and purr. I get along well with other cats and dog in my foster home. I need to grow up with another young welcoming kitten.Health note: I have had a seizure. If you adopt me, please work with my vet should any occur in the future.

Story
Meet Princess, a 7-year-old cat who finds the shelter life a bit overwhelming. Despite her shyness, Princess loves to find a cozy lap to curl up on when she feels secure. While she might need a little patience as she adjusts, Princess can become a loving companion in a calm environment. She is the perfect match for someone looking for a quiet and affectionate pet who values peace as much as she does. Adopt Princess and give her the stable, loving home she deserves. If you are interested in adopting, please fill put an application online at    ahimsahaven.org .    Meet and greets are with an approved application by appointment only.   As always, cats that are ready to be adopted are spayed/neutered, have age appropriate shots, are micro-chipped, dewormed/deflead, and FEL/FIV tested.December 29, 2025, 10:30 pm

Story
Moon is almost 10 months old, he is not a huge fan of touch , though he’s very active and playful and will be sure to cuddle with you when he’s sleepy. Not til recently Moon has been experiencing behavioral issues with peeing everywhere. He will use the litter box at times but will always find a way to pee someplace else and we arent in the right position to be able to get him checked out for costly reasons :( We want to make sure moon will be going into a comfortable home and be surrounded with those who will love him as much as we do.

Story
MEET MAXIE!This good kitty is very sweet but can be a bit fearful during transitions. Maxie loves snacks and will happily welcome you to your circle if it means he gets one. Once he has warmed up, he enjoys gentle cheek rubs and pets. Maxie lived in an active home with both cats and dogs, but we think they would thrive in a quiet household, with an adopter who is patient and can give them the sense of calm and security they need to break out of their shell. If this kitty sounds like a good fit for you and your home, please stop by to meet them!Maxie is currently up to date on vaccinations and flea and tick preventative, has been neutered, microchipped, and examined by our vet team.For more information on Maxie or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.
