Story
Here's what my foster mom says about me!This adorable Li'l Kitty is looking for a furever home with very special hooman who will be extra patient as he learns to come out of his shell. He's been in a foster home for 6 weeks, where he has proven that he is just a cuddle bug at heart. But he still has trouble trusting humans. LK had a hard start in life: he was alone in the world, then trapped in a cage and brought to the SPCA, which can be a scary place for a lonely little kitty. He did not want anyone to come near him. When he arrived in his foster home, he hid all the time; he hissed and spat whenever foster mum got close. Soon though, he got used to being petted and held. Eventually, even though he still hissed when Mum reached out for him, he got to where he would melt into a purring fluff of cuddles once he was in her arms. Today, LK is like Lucy in the movie "50 First Dates." He acts scared like he's never seen you before, and then he warms up to you so you can cuddle and play. But when you leave the room and come back, it's like he's completely forgotten that you were such great friends, and he'll hide and hiss again, and you have to start over. He's come a long way, though, and he's proven that with the right person, someone who will be patient and intentional, some who will keep having "first dates" with him, he will come around and be an amazing, cuddly best friend. Now is the time for him to go to his furever home, where he can find stability and develop permanent relationships of trust. LK has been socializing well with other cats in his foster home. He has never been aggressive with people or pets. (He's all hiss and no bite!)If you would like to meet me, I am at the shelter waiting for my new best friend; you can swing by anytime between 12pm and 5pm on Tuesdays-Saturdays. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 10 Age: 2yrs 1mths 0wks

I am lost and looking for my family! I came in as a stray without identification so I'm on hold until 11/10/24 in order to give my owner time to find me. You can visit the shelter and meet with me and become a Potential Adopter should my owner not come get me, but I'm not available to go home just yet. As always, introductions to existing family members should be done slowly and over time. Our adoptions team will give you suggestions on how to introduce your new family member! Visit anytime! The Adoption Center is open Tuesday-Saturday from 12pm-5pm. Appointments are not required for adoptions! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Tabby Weight: 12 Age: 2yrs 1mths 1wks

Story
Currently located in: York, ME! Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!) Good with dogs: yes, they are good with curious dogs as long as they do not chase them Good with cats: Yes, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/ Good with kids: Yes, we think older kids may be better as these two are very scared and timid! Litter box trained: Yes! House trained: Yes! Meet Willow & Oz! Willow & Oz were found abandoned with their family. There was a mom, 2 neonatal babies, a dad, an uncle and 3 kittens. We believe Willow & Oz are a bonded Father/Daughter duo. They all were just left behind in an apartment after the tenants were evicted. They had no access to food or water, had to live in their own waste and clearly they were abused. Willow & Oz are learning how to trust humans again. They are very timid and afraid, but slowly starting to come around. Willow is a bit more brave than her dad, but not very much! They both very much enjoy temptations treats! This father/daughter duo are often found huddled together for comfort. They really rely on each other and are pretty much glued together always! Willow & Oz are going to need time, patiences and an adoptive family willing to give them the time to trust and love again. We estimate that Willow is about 5 months old and Oz is probably around a year old. They surprisingly are house trained and are completely adorable! You can pet them, but they are not excited about being held just yet. If you think you are the right home for them, please apply to adopt them here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScq8ShXPVGLfrGHlIYMk0plgI_PJxOEMdr8QItpQMXYCnluvg/viewform All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, up to date on flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and microchipped! The adoption fee is $550 for the pair! We do not accept deposits or the adoption fee until you have your new fur-members. Please Note: All animals are posted until they are officially adopted. This animal may have other interested adopters in line. Please apply quickly if you are interested. We are very quick to respond and process applications! You will be required to provide 2 non family personal references, a home video tour and a vet reference if you’ve previously had animals. Please feel free to send video to our email or facebook upon submitting an application, this lets us know you are serious and ready but also helps us to get you approved quickly. We will text and or call upon receiving your application to schedule a phone interview. You must be an approved adopter in order to go on meet and greets. This saves everyone’s time- especially our gracious foster families! This also allows for you to take the animals home from the meet and greet if you so choose. Interested in fostering? We would love to have you join our family! Fill out the same application above- we have our fosters go through the same process as adopters! Questions?

Currently located in: Boston, MA! Adoptable in: ANYWHERE! (Transport available to most places!) Good with dogs: Yes, they do fine with well mannered dogs! Good with cats: Yes, as always a proper slow introduction will be required as with any other kitties being introduced to a home. Please refer to https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/ Good with kids: Yes! Litter box trained: Yes! House trained: Yes! Meet Jonsey & Sassy! Jonsey & Sassy met in foster care but you'd never know they were not brother and sister from birth! Oh our little sassy girl! She came to us very afraid and didn’t enjoy company or cuddles but now she loves to curl up in a blanket once her belly is full! She plays with her brother (from another litter) and cuddles with other cats! She’s the sweetest little girl! Jonsey had a rough start to life. He was found by good samaritans. He was left on the side of the road and we assume was hit by a car. He needed emergency surgery as he had a huge gash on his face and he ended up losing an eye. But we have to say... that does NOT slow him down! He has recovered purrfectly and is just an amazing little guy. To know him is to love him! If you think you are the right home for them, please apply to adopt them here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScq8ShXPVGLfrGHlIYMk0plgI_PJxOEMdr8QItpQMXYCnluvg/viewform All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes.

Story
Alfie is a special needs cat who has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH). The cerebellum is responsible for coordination and other things. CH can be mild to severe and he is in the moderate range. He has poor coordination and balance, but can walk. He cannot jump or climb. He uses puppy pads for elimination instead of a litter box and does pretty well with that. He usually only goes potty once a day. He is very sweet and loving. Alfie has had seizures in the past and has medication in case he needs it. He has not had one in quite awhile. Because He cannot jump or climb he is a great candidate for an area that you would not want cats climbing all over. He likes to explore, but should not have the run of the house. He needs to be close to the potty pads if he hasn't pottied already that day. If you are still reading, then maybe you would be interested in learning more about CH kitties. Please do some research online before deciding if he is right for you. He has been in foster care all of his life and deserves a home where he doesn't have to compete for attention. Please email me at scratchcats@gmail.com for any questions.

Story
This sweet guy showed up in the tree by our deck. He was immediately friendly, loving, and charming. It was obvious that he was a house cat (he was terrified of being outside) and has had a lot of attention. He loves to be held like a baby and pulls your face down for kisses. He is very talkative and enjoys carrying on a conversation with anyone who will listen and loves being a lap cat (His preferred place for a nap). He also still plays like a kitten. He enjoys chasing nerf balls, laser pointers, and almost any type of cat toy. He really needs to be an only cat. He is great with our kitten, but fights with our adult girl cats. He would also do well with a family that has older kids who can play with him to help curb his high and fun energy. We have searched and searched for his owners to no avail. We are not sure why, but we think that he was possibly abandoned.

Story
Meet Munkie, the Resilient and Petite Queen! Born around May 2023, Munkie was rescued as a tiny kitten with an eye injury and viral infection. She’s since made a full recovery, with just a small scar and occasional watery eye to show for her fighting spirit. Munkie became a mom at a young age, raising six kittens with love and patience. Now spayed and retired from motherhood, she’s ready for a fresh start. While Munkie gets along with other adult cats and even shares sweet face-rubs with some, she sometimes gets a bit testy—likely from dealing with so many kittens! A quieter home with fewer pets might help her shine. She loves outdoor adventures like hunting and exploring but is also a sweet companion for cuddling during TV time or bedtime. Munkie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. If you’re looking for an independent, affectionate, and occasionally sassy companion, Munkie is ready to steal your heart!
