Foster needed for pregnant cat:
Harlow, still a kitten herself at only about seven months of age, is one of a good many cats recently rescued out of a dire hoarding situation. We think she is going to give birth soon. We need a reliable foster who is willing to care for her and her kittens until they are ready to be spayed and neutered, then offered for adoption. Please email me at [email protected] or PM me directly to inquire. We expect at least one other cat from that situation is also pregnant and will also need a foster.

A-A-Ron, B-La-Kay, D-Nice, and Jay-Quellin are a friendly, playful group of bonded siblings, a little over three months old, who need a home. Their foster reports that they’re a joyful bunch full of energy, affection, and charm who always wants to know what you're doing. They are acrobats who will climb and jump one moment and cuddle with a quiet purr the next. They play hard, nap in a heap, and love both human attention and each other. They've been great with other cats in their foster home, and we think they'd thrive in an interactive household where they'll get plenty of companionship and playtime. Kittens this young almost always do best when adopted in pairs or into the home of someone who already has a cat or a cat friendly dog. And these are no exceptions. They are easy kittens who’d likely do well with respectful children and seem suitable for a first-time adopter.

They have been:
- spayed/neutered
- vaccinated as age appropriate.
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV
- treated for worms and fleas

Their adopter will receive their medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. A small discount will apply to adoptions of two or more of them. They're being fostered in Jamaica Plain.

Little Daisy, about a year old, was rescued from a rather appalling hoarder. She didn't get enough human interaction in her earlier life, so it took her a while to get out of her shell in her foster home, but, once she did, she embraced being pet, enjoyed playing with toys, and gradually became more comfortable in her surroundings. Daisy tends to withdraw when she's around other cats, so she should be the sole princess of her feline castle. She gets easily startled by sudden noises, so she would probably do best adopted into a quiet environment without the bustle of young children, and by someone with enough patience to help her adjust to her new home. She would not do well consistently unaccompanied for long periods of time. Daisy is a sweet girl who oozes cuteness. Whoever adopts her will gain a loving, faithful family member for life.

She has
- been spayed
- been vaccinated as age-appropriate
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
- been treated for fleas and worms

Her adopter will receive her medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. Her adoption fee has been reduced to a mere $165-- a bargain for a new best friend who will be a devoted companion for life! She's being fostered in Cambridge.

Jessie, about a year old, was rescued along with her kittens. Jessie has shown herself to be a loving girl, both to her babies and to her human foster family. She embraces being pet, enjoys playing with her kittens and toys, and even gradually became accustomed to the presence of the dog in her foster home. As friendly as she is, Jessie would not do well consistently unaccompanied for long periods of time. Jessie is a sweet, petite girl, not much larger than the largest of her kittens, who seems likely to retain a kittenish appearance for years to come. Whoever adopts her will gain a loving, devoted companion for life.

She has
- been spayed
- been vaccinated as age-appropriate
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
- been treated for fleas and worms

Her adopter will receive her medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. She's being fostered in Quincy.

Cole Slaw is a striking, blue-eyed snowshoe Siamese kitten, a tad over three months old, who needs a home. He's a cuddly, mischievous little guy who doesn't hold still for very long. He should be adopted into a home in which he will get lots of attention and won't be left unaccompanied for long. We haven't observed him with children or dogs, but we think he would do well with kids and dogs who know how to trat cats respectfully. Kittens almost always do best in homes that have at least one other cat or cat-friendly dog, and this little guy is no exception: he needs at least one other four-legged pal. (His mother Jessie, only a year old and barely more than a kitten herself, is posted separately.) Cole Slaw is loads of fun and will add warmth and love to any family he joins.

He has been:
- neutered
- given rabies and distemper vaccinations
- tested negative for FeLV and FIV
- treated for worms and fleas

His adopter will receive her medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. He's being fostered in Quincy.

Four-month-old Lightning is an impish little dude with striking Turkish van markings who might just be the cutest kitten in the world. Lightning is a friendly, social boy who should be adopted into a home where he will get lots of attention and play time, and where he won't be left unaccompanied for long periods of time. He seems to be half puppy, so we think he'd get along well with a cat-friendly dog-- kittens always do--he even likes to play fetch. He is super curious, playful, and loves to rub up and lay against any human that will give him some love and affection. In other words, he's pretty much anything anyone would want in a kitten.

He has been:
- neutered
- vaccinated as age-appropriate
- tested negative for FIV and FeLV.
- treated for internal parasites

His adopter will receive his medical records. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee so we can continue to help cats in need. Potential adopters can arrange to meet him at his foster home in North Andover.
