Story
Mr. lovebug, Tux is looking for his forever home! He will follow you around the house and be your best friend. He is very sweet, and purrs easily! He is quick to retreat when you are not available. He'll sit next to me on the sofa, very close to being in my lap, but not quite. He sleeps on our bed every night and gives me a few very gentle taps when he's ready to get up. If I don't respond, he goes back to the end of the bed for another nap. He always his litterbox, he likes his 1/2 can of Friskees beef twice a day to keep his tummy happy. Plus dry food and fresh water. Tux has irritable bowel syndrome and must eat Science diet hydrolyzed food. Tux is a super nice cat.If you would like more information about this sweet guy, contact Jill at 978-969-2389 or dsajill1@yahoo.com

Story
Karina was living in a DPW parking lot. This poor baby had three litters of kittens outside, before PAWS could rescue her. She's extremely shy, but now, after a year, enjoys sitting near her loving foster mom, when she works from home. That's encouraging progress! Her best home will be with an experienced cat owner in a quiet home without other pets or children.

Story
Slippery Alma (Alma) would love to be your new friend! At 8yo, Alma, one of our shy kitties, has come out of her shell and is ready to make the move to her forever home. Alma has blossomed in the care of her foster dad and waits by the door for him to get home from work, brightening up when he walks inside and giving him a warm hello. She'll frequently sit on his lap while he reads and likes being close, often lying alongside him, in bed. Alma enjoys caresses and head scratches and will head tap her dad to remind him. She will also rub herself on his legs, her way of saying, 'I like you' - high praise indeed! One of Alma's favorite pastimes is sunbathing and she'll seek out the sunniest spot in the house in which to do so. This laid back, quiet girl is still shy with unfamiliar people and is looking for a patient, loving adopter who will give her time to open up and adjust in her new home. She'll do best in a quiet, calm adult household where she may shine as the only pet. Alma cannot wait to meet you!
