Story
Hello there, it's Tschotski. Though I may look like other tiger-striped tabbies, I am definitely a unique girl. At 14 years old, I'm mature but watch me play with a feather toy on a string: bobbing and weaving, pawing and jabbing. I have a ton of energy.I'm a friendly girl at heart. I'll trot across the room for you and visitor to pet me. But I can be mercurial, too. For example: try as I might to enjoy it, I just don't like to be held. It makes me cranky, and I'm liable to startle you with a scratch or a nip. Most likely, it's these old bite wounds on my legs. Though they've been healed for quite some time now, my limbs are still sensitive. Now, healthy and strong, I am a great companion cat. But because I can be a bit unpredictable, I need to live with adults who have had some experience with felines. Also, I'd do best as a solo pet. I hope you'll consider a somewhat quirky, lovable girl like me.

Story
My name is Morticia but there is nothing gloomy about me. I am a gentle, calm all black short haired gal of 12 years. I had a wonderful quiet life with my adopter but due to her health issues I am looking for a new forever home. I'm a little slow to warm up to new people but once I settle in I will purr like a motor when you brush and pet me. I can coexist with other cats, but prefer to be your only pet! My vet determined that I have high blood sugar, which my foster mom is treating with special food and insulin. I would love to be your steadfast companion if you'll promise to feed me right, attend to my health needs and pet me often!

Story
Holy Catnip! It's me Batman and my sidekick Robin. I have a classic Batman mask and Robin has more white and a black nose. Together we are a slightly dynamic duo. It's a good thing Wakefield is a quieter place than Gotham City because we are actually a bit shy. We lived with only 1 person who we really miss and are still adapting to meeting new people. We may clam up when you first visit, but for the person who is kind and patient, we'll start to come out of our shell to play and explore. We are just a little under 4 & 3 years old. So if you would like to meet us, stop by with some Mulligatawny Soup (minus the curry) and we can discuss if there is room in your home for 2 caped crusaders.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
My name is Doodles Weaver I started life as an outdoor kitty. I was cared for by a kind samaritan who fed and socialized me a bit. She contacted PAWS to help get me indoors and safe. I've been with my foster family for over a year and I have become more confident. One of the nicest things about my foster home is it's full of cats and I get along well with all of them. I am an adult cat in my middle years. I'd prefer a quiet, adult only home with another cat or 2 where I could be a good cat buddy and have lots of fun playing with them. With lots of attention, I could continue to overcome my timidness with people and become a full member of the family.

Story
I'm Bear A Baloo a very friendly, large, black long haired boy of 4. I'm an easy going guy. So I am just looking for the "Bear Necessities" a loving home with lots attention and play. I love being with people and will greet you at the door and hang out wherever you are but not big on lap time. I'm ok with another cat friendly cat but I tend help myself to all dishes. My coat is gorgeous but it needs almost daily management to stay spiffy.I may be shy with new visitors but hope you will check me out.

Story
Let me introduce myself: I'm Oliver Quinn. Despite the fact that I am a dashingly handsome gentleman with an impressive voice, please don't mix me up with Oliver Quinn, the actor/voice actor. I'm much more warm and cuddly. My favorite thing is to be the center of attention. Most of my life, I've been a solo kitty and have had my person all to myself. However, I think I would be fine sharing with a gentle, non-alpha, household pet.Although I am able to entertain myself, and content to take a cozy catnap, I would prefer to snuggle up on the couch next to a warm human and I absolutely love to be brushed and petted.I also enjoy playing with my catnip toys, chasing a ball or, better yet, trying to catch "Da Bird." So, it would be really nice to have someone who has time to play with me every day. Besides enjoying the company, I could afford to lose some weight. I'm a big boy-long and lanky. But 17 pounds is a tad more than ideal. If you would like a companion with big green eyes and soft fur and if you don't mind when I lovingly tap your leg or meow to get your attention, please consider coming to meet me and let's make 2020 a year to remember.
