Havana Brown kittens & cats in Methuen, Massachusetts

Diego is a gentle giant. He is going to be a big boy. He was rescued in Texas with his 4 siblings when they were about 10 oz. Diego looks like a big monkey jumping around the house. He is usually laying down and wanting to chill and get attention. He also loves playing with his siblings. Diego is the one that we want to keep. But, we know thats not Rescue. Diego deserves an amazing home and we are willing to Drive/fly however long it takes to get him to his forever home. Disclaimer, he is not a true Havana brown, but if you ask me, he is even more I unique than that.

Beard: I will need a VERY patient, cat-savvy adopter who can read my body language and give me time to blossom into my true personality. Expectations should be set that it is unknown how long it will take for me to adapt (possibly weeks to months) and I might never become super social, but more of a roommate. I will be ideal for a gentle, quiet adopter looking to help out a cat, but one who has low expectations for who I am, and what I might become. It is not known what I will be like in a home environment. I came from an overcrowded home with lots of other cats. I have been using my litter box consistently here at the shelter, but my adopter needs to provide me with a slow litter box introduction since it is unclear what my litter box habits were in my previous home. It is recommended that I be set up in my own space (an extra bedroom or bathroom) a space that people or pets will not use unless going in to clean or feed. This will allow for protected contact along with providing a safe space for me. I should be left alone initially as I adjust. This space should include plenty of hiding places, ideally with access to a vertical surface such as a cat tree or a cat-proofed shelf. I can gradually be given more access to the home when I am confidently moving about my environment with relaxed body language when my adopter visits me in my room. In my previous home there were multiple cats, but we do not know how we interacted with one another. I should not be introduced to existing pets in my new home until I have had a chance to adjust to my new environment on my own. Compatibility:Cats: YES!!! It would be best to go to a home with a confident feline friend that I can bond with and who can show me the ropes. I am most likely going to be a `cat`s cat` versus a `people`s cat`.Dogs: No history possibly if mellow and cat-savvyKids: Older, quiet, cat-savvy The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.

This cat is part of our Working Cat Program! This program is for cats that are not well suited for an indoor-only type lifestyle but would thrive in environments with more space, a job, and/or less pressure from humans and other pets.This cat originally came to us from the outdoors so we don`t know a lot about his past. While they are used to people being in somewhat close proximity to feed and care for them, these are not currently social cats but would make great ‘behind the scenes’ working cats! Interested adopters must have a safe, secure structure or barn for a working cat and be able to provide adequate time for acclimation.If you are interested, please give us a call today!If you would like to learn more about the Working Cat Program, or would like to fill out an application, please visit: www.mspca.org/barncat

Shadow: I am a very social guy who loves to be pet, and I have good kid history! I have diabetes, and when you visit me, the staff will be glad to go over my medical information and cost of care. My adopter should start me in a small space with a large uncovered litter box and gradually introduce me to the rest of the house as I settle in and become comfortable in my space. Compatibility:Dogs: Possibly, no historyCats: Possibly, no historyKids: Yes The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon - 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
