Story
Hi! My name is Craig! I am a handsome 3 year old male with black soft and sleek fur. I am a kitty with a big heart and even a bigger love for window gazing ,being a couch potato and getting all the belly rubs that I possibly can! I am a bit shy at first, but if you give me a little time I will be wanting to soak up all of your attention. I get along with my foster mom’s kitties very well and also her dogs she was surprised at how well I did. Nothing bothers me not even the vacuum! I love to play all day with my foster sisters we have so much fun. If you’re dreaming of a loyal companion who loves to snuggle and you like to give belly rubs look no further! I’m right and ready for my forever family! Could it be you? I must have another cat in my home! I'm available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Story
Hi there! My name is Kitty and I am a 3-year-old female. I am a very friendly lady and I love to play. I love having your attention and will follow you around to beg for pets, but I'll let you know once I've had enough. I get along well with other cats even though I’m not looking to be best buddies with anybody. I’m a very independent girl, but I love when my foster mom plays with me! I love playing with laser lights and I'm a lot of fun to watch. I can play pretty rough if I have a lot of pent-up energy! If you're looking for a friendly but independent companion, I'm the girl for you! I need to be adopted by an experience cat owner who will know how to read my body language. I'm available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Story
Hello! We’re Winsta (5-year-old female) and Opal (1.5-year-old male). We’re believed to be a mother-son pair and were rescued by a kind Samaritan after our family left us behind when they moved. We love making biscuits, cozying up on your lap, “sharing” your bed, and watching the resident pigeons from the windowsill (though we really wish our foster parents could have one of those cool window bird feeders). While technically out of reach, we haven’t shown a strong interest in inspecting any of the houseplants (or high areas in general, for that matter). We’re well-fed and at an optimal weight, but that doesn’t stop us from trying to guilt our foster parents into thinking we’re starving. It’s worked twice so far, but they seem to have caught on. Winsta: Despite my small stature, I inhale and put away my Fancy Feast at a rate that would perplex a physicist. This made my foster mom nervous (something about carpeting?), but I’ve shown her I can keep it down (I was also VERY vocally opposed to her attempts to pace me with smaller portions). I love pretending the floor is lava as I make my way across the apartment, leaping from furniture to furniture. My favorite place to be is the papasan chair, which I sometimes share with Opal, but other times I let out a long groan when I want me-time. Opal: Privacy? Not part of my vocabulary. Personal space? Never heard of her. I feel and make myself at home the minute I step foot inside. My favorite things are draw strings, lasers, and your attention. If you stop petting me, I’ll forcefully throw my body at you or headbutt your hand like a goat until you relent. I love doing whatever you’re doing and walking wherever you’re (about to be) walking, so if I had a favorite song, it’d probably be something like “Every Breath You Take” by The Police or “We Go Together” from Grease. From Our Foster Parents: Despite all of the recent stress and changes in their lives, these two are so trusting, gentle, and eager for your companionship and their forever home! We are both absolutely amazing with children and adore the kids in our foster home! Winsta is more timid than Opal, but with the right introductions, we think they’d both adapt well to other cats, and respectful dogs. We are available through Kitty Connection in Medford!

Story
Hi my name is Scooby. I’m a little cat with a big personality! I’m a 3-year-old, all black cat with beautiful green eyes. I came to Kitty Connection when my owners couldn’t take care of me any longer. I love people and am very affectionate. Usually, I follow my foster mom all around the house. But if I’m off somewhere else, she just has to call my name and I come running! I love to be petted and any good rub will make me purr. I also love playing and if there’s not a cat toy around, I’ll find a piece of paper to chase around. My foster mom laughs at my antics. Sometimes I get a little demanding, and bat at my mom to make her pay attention to me. I’m only 8.5 lbs, but I am eating enough to pack on more weight. I LOVE food! I’m hoping to find a good home, where I be safe, get plenty of good food and attention, entertain you with my antics and share lots of affection and purrs. I'm available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Story
Hello friends! My name is Maka (which means "eye" or "face" in Hawaiian). I am an incredibly sweet thirteen year old cat with beautiful bright green eyes, an adorable face, and a perfect cinnamon roll loaf. I am a cuddly cat who loves an evening snuggle on the couch, but also appreciates my space. I am a low maintenance companion, accustomed to spending time by myself and being pretty self-sufficient. During the day, I prefer to keep myself cozy on a pillow or in a cat house or in a window sill looking out at the birds and squirrels. At night, I would love to hang out with you, but will likely find a cozy place on my own nearby to sleep. I have very high anxiety around dogs and young children and am looking for a home with either no pets or young kids! I am great as an only cat or might to well with another mature, laid-back senior cat like myself. I have thrived living in a city apartment and in a suburban/rural area. I love car trips in my carrier; I'm always up for an adventure to see new sights and smell new smells! I have had a few teeth removed over the years so I eat only wet food and sometimes get an upset tummy, but I have a great appetite and am very food motivated for play and enrichment. I am a quiet guy who tends to save my meows to let you know that I am hungry! I'm hoping to find an amazing, loving, quiet home for my golden years where I can bask in the sun in peace with a loving human best friend or friends! Please do NOT apply if you have other pets or young children in your home! I am available through Kitty Connection in Medford.

Story
To adopt this cat from Black Cat Rescue, please fill out a profile https://blackcatrescue.com/adopt-cat-boston Midnight's journey has been a challenging one; she was attacked by a dog, which left her with nerve damage and incontinence. Her tail had to be amputated, and she was sent to Black Cat Rescue to heal. Despite the hardships she has faced, Midnight has shown remarkable resilience and strength. With the care and support of her foster humans, she has made incredible progress. Her incontinence is now manageable with the help of a diaper, and she has adapted to her new circumstances with grace and determination. Midnight (4 years old) is now ready for her next chapter, a loving home where she can receive the care and attention she deserves. She is a sweet and affectionate cat, with a playful spirit that shines bright. She even still likes dogs!! All she needs is a chance to show you the love and joy she has to offer. Please consider opening your heart and home to Midnight. She has so much love to give and is ready to become a cherished member of your family. Together, we can give Midnight the happy ending she deserves. Here's what her foster human has to say about Midnight:   How would you describe the cat's general personality? Midnight is a friendly and smart girl, she doesn’t hesitate to interact with people.   Does the cat enjoy being pet? If yes, on what parts of its body does the cat like to be pet? She enjoys being pet. Cheeks, head, and back, enjoying rubbing ears and belly too.   Are there any parts of its body that the cat does NOT like being touched? She doesn’t like her rear legs being touched. Would move her legs away and give you some look.   Does the cat come on your lap? She loves coming on our laps a lot, many times a day.   Does the cat like to be held? She doesn’t seem like to be held currently, would try to jump away.   Does the cat sleep in your bed? She would if we let her. She loves being around us.   Does the cat seek your attention? Very much! She would meow or jump on our laps.   Does the cat like to play? What are the cat's favorite games and toys? She loves to play, in fact, she asks us to play with her every day. She may play at one toy and grab all the toys around her together.   How vocal is the cat? What kinds of sounds does the cat make? She is vocal when seeing us in the morning, got home or wants to eat. Her voice is very soft.   Does the cat scratch a scratcher? She does, the scratch board is her favorite spot.   Does the cat always use the litter box? If no, please explain. She’s not using the litter box due to the current condition.   What food and frequency is the cat currently eating? She eats both dry foods and wet foods(can foods).   Is the cat picky about food? She is a little picky, loves pate and salmon flavor.   What is the cat's favorite treat? She can’t resist Churu!   Does the cat ever swat (claws in) at you? If so, under what circumstances? Yes, when we just met her, she swat at me when rubbing her belly(she likes belly rubbing), but now she doesn’t swat at me.   Has the cat ever scratched (claws out) you? Yes, and also the same situation described above. Sometimes she would claws out, but can’t be sure if that just her claws are a bit sharp, because she doesn’t show full claws.   Does the cat ever nip (teeth without breaking skin) you? No, she doesn’t.   Has the cat ever bitten you (breaking skin)? No, she only lightly hold my hand in her mouth when rubbing her belly the first week we met.   To the best of your knowledge, how does the cat react to new people? Social? Fearful? She is very friendly to new people, she jumped on and kissed us the first day we met. And I believe she is social and gets along with other pets well.   Does that cat have any cute/quirky traits that aren’t covered by the previous questions? Her sleeping style can sometimes make us laughing, she would straighten her legs backwards like a Flying supergirl.   In your opinion, what is the best thing about the cat? Why should an adopter choose THIS cat to adopt? She has great personality, smart (fast learner), and gentle. Aside from her special needs, she’s an angel and a good friend.   What are the cat's challenges and how have you found to best manage them? The most challenge part is her lack of ability to control urine and stools. We change her diapers 4-6 times a day and give her diaper-free times few times a day.
