Story
Meet Star - A Shy Beauty Who Blossoms on Her Own TimeStar is a 1-year-old, spayed female with an adoption fee of $145, and she’s every bit as striking as her name suggests. Rescued by a kind Samaritan and cared for over eight months, she’s now looking for a forever home where she can feel safe, understood, and loved.With her big green eyes and sleek black-onyx coat, Star is the kind of cat who turns heads without even trying. But what makes her truly special is the quiet, gentle way she learns to trust.What Makes Star Shine, she is a little sassy at first: She may give you a “hmm, who are you?” look in the beginning, but it’s all part of her charm.Shy but deeply sweet, She prefers to keep to herself until she feels comfortable, and then she softens beautifully.A one-and-only kind of girl, she hasn’t lived with other cats or dogs, so a calm, predictable home will help her thrive. No small children please, she does not like to be picked up until she is comfortable. She`s a slow-blossoming companion, once she decides you’re her person, she’ll show affection in her own gentle, heartfelt way.A stunning onyx beauty, her coat and eyes make her look like a little midnight jewel. Star isn’t the type to rush into anything and that’s exactly what makes earning her trust so rewarding. She’s perfect for someone who appreciates a cat with boundaries, personality, and a soft heart beneath the shyness.Walk-in hours are Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays - 12:00–4:00 PMIf those times don’t work, you can fill out the Adoption Inquiry Form on our website under the FORMS tab, and we’ll gladly arrange a meet-and-greet that fits your schedule.

Story
This lovely girl is one of the nicest cats you'll ever meet. She not only loves her people, but is social with visitors as well. She was surrendered by her owner after she let her outside and she got hit by a car, and she could no longer afford her care. While Mandy just turned 9 years old, don't be fooled - she acts half her age. During the day she plays with her toys, and has no trouble jumping on the kitchen counter to play in the sink - yeah, we're working on that. She spends most of the day looking out the window and watching all the critters run around, but from the safety of her cat tree. At night she enjoys sitting with her person on the sofa watching TV or being gently brushed. Watch your hands - she loves to give lots of those sandpaper tongue kisses! She is showing early signs of mild kidney disease, but it's easily managed by feeding her a high quality canned food-only diet. Her bloodwork showed significant improvement from when she was first surrendered, so one of our consulting vets believes that good nutrition will keep her stable for some time to come. In her original home she did live with a large number of cats but she was not a big fan of interacting with them. She does okay with one of the cats in her foster home, so she probably could live with another cat after a slow and careful introduction. However, Mandy is not one to cuddle with another cat, she prefers to save that for her humans, and loved sleeping on the bed next to her original mom.. Mandy is fully vetted and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $225 and she is being fostered in Worcester.

Story
Socks is a gentle, affectionate guy who's on the shy side. He brightens up when he receives attention. (Watch his video!) He even prefers to eat with company. His foster mom says that Socks doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. Everyone who meets him (including vets!) agrees that he's a sweet, lovely guy. He loves watching birds and likes to play with string toys. Socks has been through a lot lately. He was found as a stray and then had surgery to remove bladder stones. So Socks needs to be on a special diet to prevent a recurrence. Socks will blossom in a quiet, low-stress home where he can be the only pet. Maybe yours?
