Story
He hasn't gotten along well with my first cat, but I believe that's mostly the other cat's fault. So he might get along with a more mellow cat. I think he would be fine with a dog, although he hasn't met one yet. He still nips me sometimes because I never really taught him not too, but not enough to hurt. He is cuddly, enjoys being picked up and rubbing his head on mine.

Story
Bo is 7yrs and 4 months old as of Sept 2024. I adopted him in the fall of 2021 when I lived in NYC. He and I moved to MA in 2023. A typical day for Bo starts with breakfast and some playing around. He loves chasing whatever is at the end of a wand/string combo. After 10-15 minutes of playing he gets a lil sleepy and takes a nap for a few hours. Dinner at 5pm and he wants to play some more. He’s very affectionate and will come to perfect strangers if called calmly. He can be a bit nervous, startled by loud noises. He gets vocal if his human is home but separated by a closed door where he can’t reach you to play or cuddle. He loves to cuddle or lay near/on people. He could use a human who’s experienced with cats who get a little nervous and skilled at curbing scratching tendencies. A quiet home with a loving and experienced owner will give both of you years of love and cuddles.

Story
Captain (Cappy) is a lovable black kitty. She is in an apartment and I have two roommates and she does not like all the coming and going and is acting out and peeing. She is a real love and I adopted her when she was a baby. She would probably do best in a home that is quiet with not a lot of change or activity going on. PLEASE adopt her she needs a good home ASAP- will give you the entire set up, litter box, toys , litter , carrier case

Story
Roger is a sweet, funny, charming, handsome boy. I am devastated to rehome him, but due to recent events, I am unable to give him what he deserves at this time. Roger is great with dogs and other cats. He loves to play and be part of the action. He is not shy and will greet you at the door after a long day at work. He enjoys being picked up like a baby and walks on his leash. His favorite toys are his spinning feather, tunnel, and jingle balls. Roger has brought much joy to my life after finding him as a tiny stray kitten. I will miss him so much but know he will make someone else very very happy. Especially when he makes you laugh by letting his feather hit him in the face multiple times before attacking it. Please feel free to inquire or ask for more photos and videos! Comes with lots of toys and a litter box if needed. Thank you for considering taking Roger into your family
