Meet Buddy! This guy is quite worried here at the shelter (look at those eyes…) so we are taking it slow and letting him adjust at his pace. We aren’t sure how he will be in a home – he may blossom completely outside the shelter, or he may be what we lovingly call a “spirit cat”. We often can’t predict how a spirit cat will be after they settle in – some become comfortable around their family and choose to spend time with them by sharing the same space or allowing some petting, while others continue to prefer to hide when there’s any commotion. Spirit cats generally prefer to spend their time around other cats and make an excellent kitty friend to a cat already in the home. Our staff can help prepare adopters to welcome a spirit cat into a quiet home, but patience and understanding will go a long way with Buddy.
Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet Buddy-Fiv+. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm - 4pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Visit www.mspca.org/petresources to learn how to prepare for a successful first few weeks at home with a your adopted pet!
You are welcome to enter our cat rooms during open hours. Staff and volunteers will be happy to assist you!
Your gift now will help us provide the love, care and support animals like Buddy-Fiv+ need while waiting for a loving family. You can also send words of encouragement for Buddy-Fiv+, that we may read out loud to them on our social media channels
