Momoa is a 3 year old cat who recently came to us on a transport. Momoa has a regressive case of FeLV – or Feline Leukemia Virus – which means that the virus is present, but controlled by the immune system and so not currently developing any symptoms.
For cats that have regressive FeLV, regular appointments with a vet will be important so as to monitor his infection status. Despite his diagnosis, he can be social and affectionate with those he knows, once he is comfortable in his new space. Momoa does find transitions and new environments quite stressful, so he is looking for a patient home that will give her all the time and space she needs to settle in. Momoa would need to be the only cat in the household, or have feline friends that also have FeLV.

Boots is an 8-year-old independent lady who knows exactly what she wants—and isn’t afraid to let you know! This kitty enjoys affection on her terms, meaning she’ll come to you when she’s ready for love (and trust us, when she is, she loves a good lap snuggle and some head scritches!).
However, Boots has some firm boundaries—she’s not a fan of being picked up, and she’ll politely (or not-so-politely) remind you of that if needed. She’s looking for a home that respects her space while appreciating her affectionate side when she’s in the mood.
If you’re looking for a cat with personality, charm, and a bit of sass, Boots might just be your perfect match! If you would like to learn more, stop by our Cape Cod Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 1pm-4pm – no appointment or application needed.

I am very sweet, with the potential to be an easy-going, gentle cat once I warm up to my people. I will need a VERY patient, cat-savvy adopter who can read cat-body language and give me time to blossom into my true personality.
I came from an overcrowded home with lots of other cats. It will be best to start me in a spare bedroom or bathroom at first, with options to climb vertically such as a cat tree, and easy access to food, water, bed and a large litter box. Ideally with enough time to myself, I will begin to relax and move around more freely while my adopter in visiting my room. Once I am consistently moving around comfortably with relaxed body language, I am ready to start exploring other parts of my new home. Expectations should be set that it is unknown how long it will take for me to adapt (possibly weeks or months) and I might never become super social, but more of a roommate. I would be ideal for a gentle, quiet adopter looking to help out a cat, but one that has low expectations for who I am and what I might become.
It is recommended that I have a cat friend in my new home, or be adopted with another cat so we can become more confident together, as I was used to having a friend in my previous environment.
Compatibility:
Dogs: Possibly – no history – mellow and cat-savvy
Cats: YES! Ideally I should be adopted into a home with a confident feline friend that I can bond with and who can help show me the ropes. I am most likely going to be a `cat`s cat versus a `people`s cat`.
Kids: Possibly – no history – older and cat-savvy

We’d like to introduce a very special cat named Art. He is an 1 year old cat, and has a case of progressive FeLV, or Feline Leukemia Virus which will shorten their lifespan, and we are hoping to find them a loving indoor-only home where they can live out their life. Despite their diagnosis, they are social and affectionate with those they know. Art would need to be the only cat in the household, or have feline friends that also have FeLV. Interested adopters should click the inquire button below to learn more and shelter staff will provide additional counseling on FeLV and answer any questions at the time of adoption.
More info on FeLV can be found here: https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951934

Meet Steven & Duck! This bonded pair of kitties love each other very much and must go home together. They’re both friendly guys, with Duck being the more outgoing of the pair. They both enjoy a little snuggle time with humans, and love it when you pet them. They’re looking for a quiet, low traffic home, where they can be your newest besties!

Little Bit is a cute, curious, handsome boy! He lived with another cat and they got along well.
Two placement plans are recommended for Little Bit:
1. A barn placement, with a slow introduction to his space.
2. Indoor/outdoor, but will need a safe outdoor environment with a slow introduction.
We are looking for an adopter who is committed to spending the first several weeks allowing him to decompress. During that time his adopter should focus on observing his behavior and body language to better get to know him and identify his likes and dislikes, and make adjustments to his space and your interactions with him based on his preferences. His adopters should be comfortable identifying and addressing potential challenges as they arise. No unnecessary pressure should be put on him as he settles in. He should be allowed to make his own choices about when to interact and when to keep to himself.
Little Bit may be conflicted about close handling/petting, especially as he is settling in. Think of him as a pet himself on you kind of cat until he is more comfortable meaning he should
always be allowed to initiate an interaction with you vs. you going up to pet him. Use a `petting
consent test`: after he has initiated petting, remove your hands briefly to give him an opportunity to opt back into pets, or to say he is all done. We recommend working with a Fear Free-certified veterinarian to help come up with a handling plan that will reduce stress for everyone and keep everyone safe.
Expectations should be kept low at first, and understand that he is going to need time (weeks to a month or more) to show more of his true personality. Based on history in his last home we expect him to always be a bit skittish with new people, so a low-traffic, quiet home will be best for him. After time he will do best with the people within his bubble, but will not be the type of cat to go up and greet visitors.
To help Little Bit succeed, he will need a very slow introduction to his new home. He should start off in one quiet room (an extra bedroom or bathroom) and gradually be given more access to the house as he settles in. Keep expectations for him very low as he has lived in his previous home for most of his life and would more often than not be hiding. He will probably exist more as a spirit cat, but he did come out when it was quiet and then to be near his people, allowing pets while eating, etc. But when there was any loud noise or movement he would go right back into hiding.
It must be stressed that his adopters need to let him adapt at his own pace and understand that he is who he is, and needs a patient, understanding adopter who will not push or expect him to be anything other than who he is.
COMPATIBILITY:
Cats: Yes! He has previously lived with cats
Dogs: Possibly, no history
Kids: He will do best with kids who can respect his space and practice a good management plan including petting consent.
The shelter is open Tuesday through Sunday from noon – 4:30pm, with no appointment needed to meet available cats.
