Story
**Meet Paisley & Corduroy: A Sweet Pair Ready for a Loving Home!** Introducing Paisley (female) and Corduroy (male), a pair of 1.5-year-old siblings who are as endearing as they are beautiful. These gentle cats were rescued from the streets of Florida and are now ready for their forever home. Paisley and Corduroy have had a rough start, but with the love and care of their foster family, they have learned to trust and embrace the joy of being cared for. Corduroy is the less timid of the pair and has become a total lap cat. He is affectionate, rubbing against his foster mom's legs, seeking out cuddles and pets. Paisley is shy and not a fan of being pet but she loves to play. Both siblings enjoy playing with wand toys and love to chase each other around in playful antics. With their striking white fur, dark gray patches, and bold striped tails, Paisley and Corduroy are not just visually stunning but also have hearts full of potential love to give. They need a patient and understanding adopter who can offer them the gentle support they need to fully open up and feel secure. If you have a big heart and the patience to help these sweet, shy kitties blossom into loving companions, we would love to hear from you. Paisley and Corduroy are currently being fostered in Cambridge, MA.

Story
A woman was too ill to care for her cats. Sneaky is 2 years old; Ollie is 10. The cats weren`t bonded. Actually, Sneaky isn`t a fan of other animals. She likes to be alone, so that she can spend more time with people. Sneaky enjoys attention. You can rub her head and stroke her ears. We don`t know if she`s a lap cat, but Sneaky will be near you to watch what you`re doing or snuggle against you.

Story
Meet Maeve, a sweet and resilient kitty on the lookout for a loving home! Diagnosed with liver disease in January, Maeve was initially given a short time to live. Yet, here she is, thriving well beyond expectations! Thanks to her special prescription food and medication, Maeve's liver has significantly improved, and she's enjoying a stable quality of life. Maeve is a gentle, wise companion who delights in being close to her people. She adores belly rubs and shows her affection with gentle baths from her tongue. Maeve enjoys short bursts of playtime with string toys, usually just 5-10 minutes a day, but is equally happy to relax by your side while you go about your day. She’s quite vocal when she wants food, playtime, or just to let you know she’s claiming her favorite spot. With the right introduction, Maeve might also do well with another cat. If you have room in your heart for a special needs kitty who is truly a medical miracle, Maeve could be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Mabel is an 8-year-old Calico beauty with a heart full of love to give, but she needs a special kind of home to truly thrive. Her foster mom absolutely adores her and knows that Mabel's perfect match is out there—a patient, experienced cat lover who understands the importance of a calm and serene environment. Mabel has hyperesthesia - an anxiety condition characterized by being overwhelmed by loud sounds, strong smells, and other intense stimuli, which mainly presents itself in self harming actions, such as biting her tail. She needs a quiet, low-traffic home where she can feel safe and secure. She’s the ultimate lap cat once she gets to know you—happy to snuggle on your lap, shoulder, or under your arm for hours while you gently pet her. Playful and brilliant, she thrives on enrichment, and she’ll need daily wand toy sessions to keep her entertained. Mabel takes medication twice daily in food to manage her condition. With the medication and a consistent routine, Mabel does very well and does not show any symptoms of anxiety. Sometimes interruptions to her routine are unavoidable, so her adopter should be able to cope with occasional outbursts. Mabel really is a wonderful, snuggly, smart cat. If you have the right environment, her condition is easy to manage, as she typically takes her medication with no complaints. We know Mabel's person is out there, just waiting to bring her home! Are you ready to give Mabel the calm, loving forever home she deserves? She’s ready to meet you!

Meet Isla! This 11-year-old sweetheart is looking for a forever home where she can relax, be adored, and share her affectionate yet delightfully sassy personality! 🐾 Isla is the perfect balance of independent and loving. While she might not be a lap cat 24/7, give her a cozy spot on the couch, and she’ll reward you with quality petting sessions. She enjoys a sprinkle of catnip and the occasional wand toy playtime. ✨ Fun fact: Isla is a cardboard scratcher *connoisseur*—she treats them like her personal massage therapists! ✨ She’s low-maintenance, confident, and lovable, looking for someone who understands that the best relationships are built on mutual respect. 💕 Isla does take transdermal medication for hyperthyroidism, but it’s just a quick dab on her ear twice a day—easy peasy! Could this charming, independent lady be your new best friend? Isla is being fostered in Cambridge, MA, and can’t wait to meet you!

Felix is a great snuggler, and will attach himself to people. He can be grumpy at times but also the sweetest boy. I’m rehoming to a career change and not having enough time for him. He likes to play sometimes, but he likes to lay around and relax for a good majority of the time. He gets along with other cats, he may take a while to warm up but you’ll catch him cuddling with other cats when nobody’s looking.

Story
Sushi (gray & white) and Mango (black) are a bonded pair and both a year and a half old. They were found under a truck in florida and i adopted them at 3 months old. Sushi is the biggest cuddle bug has no stranger danger. He is sweet as can be and is always sleeping on or next to you. He loves to play and would flourish in a big home with lots of sunlight. Mango is my shy boy. He takes a while to warm up to you but when he does, he will shower you with kisses. He is as sweet as can be and could not hurt a fly. He gets the zoomies a lot and loves to play and is my adventurous boy. He just takes time to trust you, but the wait it worth it. Mango and Sushi need to stay together and currently live in a one bedroom apartment, i think they would love a home to have more space to run around in but are just fine where they are now. I think they would do great in either a home with one person or a family. They just want and need a lot of love wherever they go
