Meet Tater Tot! While he can be snuggly with his people when he wants to be, he will let you know when he’s had enough or needs personal space. He’d do best in a quiet household as the only pet, and any kids in the home should be old enough to read his body language and give him space when he needs it. While he may not be a snuggle bug a whole lot of the time, he loves to play and interact with his humans with wand toys!

More about Jeremy Bearimy:
I am a loving, cuddly guy who likes to be near my people. I am good with visitors, and I love catnip and string toys. And I have good litter box manners!
I am diabetic, and will need to be given insulin injections twice a day for the rest of my life to regulate my diabetes. My adopter will need to be comfortable working closely with their private veterinarian to keep me regulated along with understanding that this can be a little pricey.
I should have a slow introduction to my new home, starting off in one space until I am 100% comfortable. I can get overstimulated with petting, but I give signals that I am starting to get uncomfortable.
I have a history of not liking other cats, but no history living with dogs. Stop by to meet me … I am a sweet, handsome boy!
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 3:00pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Compatibility:
Cats: No thank you
Dogs: Possibly if older and cat-savvy. No history
Kids: Yes, older and cat-savvy
This Daisy is FRESH, but maybe not in the way you’d think! Sure she’s clean and tidy, but this little lady also has a lot of attitude. Daisy can be very affectionate, rubbing on your legs and and seeking out attention, only to snatch her love away moments later with a swat or a hiss. She needs you to know that this relationship is all on her terms. Luckily she’s so cute you won’t even mind. We think she’ll bloom in a quiet home with cat savvy adults and no other pets, where she can rule with an iron paw and a heart of gold. If you like some cattitude and have a lot of love to give a cat who’ll consider returning the favor, Daisy just might be the gal for you.

A little bit more about Joplin:
A group of cats was transported north to Massachusetts from South Carolina last week to find our forever homes, and I am one of the lucky kitties to find myself here at the shelter waiting for my adopter to meet me and bring me home!
We have no history for any of us, but we are all anxious to meet potential adopters. Don`t hesitate … there are not a lot of us still waiting!
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 3:00 pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Meet Rustic! Rustic is a grumpy young man who is very stressed out about being here in the adoption center. He came in as a stray, so we don’t know too much about his history. He’s looking for a cat-savvy person that can give him time and space to decompress. He’s hoping you’ll be the one who is willing to take a chance on him!
If you think you are a good fit and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm – no appointment needed.

Hi, my name is April! I just arrived from another shelter in South Carolina and am ready for my new home up north! While I can be sweet and snuggly with people when I want to be, I’m really good at letting you know when I’ve had enough and need some personal space. I would do best in a quiet household as the only pet, and any kids in the home should be old enough to read my body language and give me space when I need it. While I may not be a snuggle bug 100% of the time, I am an energetic kitty who loves to play with toys!

Say hello to Totoro! This sweet, shy boy is looking for a calm, low traffic home. He’s nervous around strangers and in new situations, so you won’t see him at his best when you first meet him. Give him some time to settle in and get to know you, and you’ll find a mellow dude who loves it when you pet him.

Meet Tigger! He is an old man who loves affection and cuddles. He has a great personality who will brighten up your rainy days.
In his foster home he greeted his foster mom at the door every day when she came home from work with a head butt and a meow. When he isn`t asking for affection, his favorite things include mouse toys and super soft blankets to nap on. Tigger has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day. His foster mom reported that Tigger is very patient and calm while his insulin is administered-he`s such a good boy! Tigger`s new family should establish a relationship with their own veterinarian to create a plan to manage Tigger`s diabetes in the home.

More about Misu:
I am an easy-going, mellow, mature lady. I am interactive and social on my terms, and I will offer cute little chirp meows when I want attention!
We have no history of my living in a home environment. I was found living around a bodega in a neighboring city. I should have a slow introduction to my new home, starting in one quiet room with managed hiding places, and gradually given more access to the home as I settle in. It is expected that I might struggle a bit with transition.
Since I am sensitive for close handling, a fear-free vet is recommended. I do not like to be picked up. I came to the shelter with mats on my back end and appear to have sensitivity when being touched below my head. My adopter should be cat-savvy and comfortable reading cat body language. Consent tests should be utilized.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 3:00pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
Compatibility:
Cats: Possibly, no history
Dogs: Possibly, no history – cat-savvy, mellow, knows to give her space

More about Blackjack:
I have the potential to be a sweet, gentle companion with a very cat-savvy adopter who is willing to put in the extra effort to help me come out of my shell.
Expectations should be kept low at first, and know that I am going to need time, weeks to a month or more, to show more of my true personality. Based on history in my previous home, it should be expected that I will always be a bit skittish with new people, so a low-traffic, quiet home will be best for me. I will do best with the people within my bubble (after time), but I am not the type of cat to go up and greet visitors.
I should have a very slow introduction to my new home. I should start in one quiet room with managed hiding places, and gradually be given more access to the house as I settle in. Keep expectations for me very low, knowing that I will probably exist more as a spirit cat, but I did come out when it was quiet, and then I allowed pets with those I let into my social bubble. It cannot be stressed enough that I need to be allowed to adapt at my own pace and that I am who I am, and I need a patient, understanding adopter who will not push or expect me to be anything other than who I am.
Compatibility:
Dogs: Possibly cat savvy, mellow, will give him space
Cats: No thanks!
Kids: Older quiet, cat savvy
Spirit cats are very shy with people, and live in your home but are rarely seen – hence their name. They are cats who coexist in your home, and sometimes may grant you the opportunity to touch them – or they may not. Despite being shy with people, spirit cats are usually great with other cats! They are used to living with many cats, and can make excellent companions for cats in your home. It’s not uncommon for a spirit cat to get used to one or two people over time, and those people will be allowed to touch them and they may even choose to hang out near you or sleep on your bed at night. They are a great choice for people with a quiet household, who want to make a difference for an individual cat. Patience and understanding are the best tools when welcoming a spirit cat into your home. It’s important to know that spirit cats won’t magically turn into a normal acting cat – what you see is what you get for a long time, maybe always.
They are a fine choice for situations where you don’t have a lot of time to devote to a pet as they don’t require a lot of attention from humans. They are not a good choice for a busy home, including those with small children.
