Meet Berchi, a petite two-year-old tuxedo girl who has come a long way from her tough start on the streets. Once a frightened, hungry stray, she has blossomed into a gentle, affectionate presence in her foster home with a calm, easygoing nature-- the embodiment of "chill cat." Berchi is the perfect mix of sweetness and serenity—she loves attention but is also content to simply relax nearby, making her an ideal match for someone who appreciates a peaceful, loving presence. Berchi is ready to leave her hard days behind and become a cherished member of a forever home. She’s soft, loving, and has a quiet charm that makes her the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal, affectionate friend. We have not observed her with dogs, children or other cats. We think she would do well with a dog or kids who know how to be respectful to cats. We can give you pointers about that. She would do best in a home with someone who will give her lots of attention, and where she will not be left unaccompanied for long periods of time. She is an easy cat who seems suitable for a first-time adopter.

She has been spayed, is current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. Her adopter will receive her full medical records. She’s being fostered in Somerville. Adoptions are facilitated by video meet-and-greets, as well as in-person visits. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee, which helps us continue rescuing cats in need. In her case, that adoption fee has been greatly reduced to a mere $45-- a bargain for a devoted companion who will love you for the rest of her life. Berchi has a food allergy that is well-controlled through inexpensive daily medication and a hypoallergenic diet (Blue Buffalo Novel Protein). Her adopter will receive her medical records. Please inquire via email to [email protected] with your phone number and a little about yourself and the home you would provide. Doing so helps us match cats with the right adopters.

Lincoln is a one-year-old brown tabby with a heart of pure gold and bright green eyes full of warmth. When the person he loved most moved away, he was heartbreakingly left outside to fend for himself. Thankfully, a kind landlord stepped in, brought him safely indoors, and got him to a volunteer's home. Despite all he’s been through, Lincoln remains remarkably friendly and open-hearted—he greets everyone, even new visitors, with gentle curiosity and affection. Even the video in this profile shows him making friends with a visitor to his foster home. We haven’t seen him around other cats, dogs, or children yet, but we believe he’d likely do well with respectful kids who know how to interact gently with cats. Lincoln would do best in an interactive home where he isn’t left alone for long hours. This sweet, resilient boy is ready to find a forever home where love and loyalty are returned in full. Lincoln is an easy cat who would be suitable for a first-time adopter looking for a devoted companion for life.

Meet Jordan, a two-year-old brown tabby whose gentle spirit is finally shining through after a difficult chapter in his life. When the person he loved was hospitalized, Jordan and the other cats in his home suddenly found themselves without the comfort and security they’d always known. Heartbroken and confused, he shut down for weeks—quiet, withdrawn, and unsure of the world around him. (Don't EVER let anyone tell you that cats don't love their people!) With the patience and kindness of his foster mom, Jordan has gradually rebounded. His true personality is now emerging: a tender, sensitive boy who wants nothing more than to feel safe and loved again. We haven’t observed him around dogs or children, but we believe he’d likely do well with respectful kids who know how to interact gently with cats. Jordan would do best in an interactive home where he isn’t left alone for long hours, preferably with another feline buddy. He appears to be an easy boy who would be suitable for a first-time adopter looking for a loving companion for life.

Jordan has been neutered, is current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. His adopter will receive his full medical records.

Nala is an example of a kitten who had kittens. Rescued as an abandoned stray at just six months old—already a devoted young mom—Nala has seen her kittens all find loving homes, and now it’s her turn to be cherished. Nala is now a beautiful eight-month-old orange girl with a heart as bright as her coat. As an orange female, she's a bit of an oddity, as only about 20% of orange cats are female. Despite her rough start, she’s playful, friendly, and wonderfully well adjusted. Nala loves attention, enjoys playtime, and quickly bonds with those who show her kindness. Her photos don't lie: Nala has "good girl" written all over her. She is a combination of sweetness and independence who loves human company and purrs warmly when petted. We have not observed her with dogs, kids or other cats. We think she'd do well with kids who know how to treat cats respectfully. She should be adopted into an interactive home where she'll get lots of attention and won't be left unaccompanied for long. Nala is an adorable little sweetheart with a personality that will fill any home with warmth, love, and fun. She’s ready to leave her difficult past behind and start a new life where she can finally be the one who’s cared for.

She is very friendly, greets visitors with curiosity, and she loves to follow her foster mom from room to room to stay involved in whatever’s happening. She’s also a lively conversationalist who enjoys a good chat and has plenty of playful, kitten-like energy. Beatrice thrives on attention, playtime, and companionship, and would be happiest in an interactive household where she won’t be left alone for long stretches. Whether she’s chasing toys, exploring her surroundings, or asking for attention, Beatrice will fill her home with warmth and fun.

Charlie and Gino are a pair of 11-year-old boys who are two out of a total of eight cats who lost their home due to an eviction. They are a bonded pair who play with each other, curl up with each other, and groom each other, and who are similarly affectionate toward their foster mom. Gino weighs 14 pounds and Charlie weighs a whopping 18 pounds. Clearly, they are big boys; while they could benefit from lots of play time to help them lose a bit of weight, much of their size is due to their naturally large stature. Because they are a bonded pair, we will not separate them, but that also means that they will help each other acclimate to their new home, and will keep each other company when their humans are away. Charlie and Gino are big boys with even bigger hearts who will bring a lot of love and warmth to their new home. They are easy cats who are suitable for first-time adopters and will be devoted companions for life.

Charlie and Gino have been neutered, are current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. Their adopter will receive their veterinary records. They're being fostered in Stow. There is a simple adoption process and an adoption fee, which helps us continue rescuing cats in need. A discount will apply to help get them adopted together. The total adoption fee for both cats is a mere $95-- a bargain for a pair of new best friends who will love you with all their hearts for the rest of their lives. Cats can live up to 20 years, so please consider whether you can commit to providing a safe, loving home for life before adopting.

showing that she is wired to love. She thrives on attention, playtime, and companionship, and would be happiest in an interactive household where she won’t be left alone for long stretches.

Amber-eyed tuxedo boy Sabino is a friendly, playful little guy with a big personality who needs a home. Sabino was heartlessly left behind by someone who moved away and left him out on the street to fend for himself. A kind person saw him, frightened and hungry, and got him off the street, but couldn't keep him. Fast-forward to today: Sabino has adjusted well to his foster home. He’s affectionate, curious, and playful with a personality that fills the room. You might find Sabino one minute equally happy curled up in a cozy nook or the next minute batting at a toy with his white-tipped paws. Sabino peacefully coexists with the dog in his foster home. We haven’t seen him around children yet, but we believe he’d likely do well with respectful kids who know how to interact gently with cats. Sabino would do best in an interactive home where he isn’t left alone for long hours. Sabino is about a year old. He seems to be an easy boy who would be suitable for a first-time adopter looking for a devoted companion for life.
