Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Melrose, Massachusetts

Nico and Lemonade are a pair of bonded brothers, about a year and a half old, who were found in a vacated apartment after they were left behind by someone who moved away. Naturally, they were traumatized by this betrayal, but, thanks to the kindness of their foster mom, they are adjusting. Lemonade's friendly, playful personality has emerged, but Nico remains on the shy side. Like most cats, they would be happiest in an interactive household where they get lots of attention and play. We have not observed them with kids or dogs, but we think they would probably do well with pretty much anyone who knows how to treat a cat respectfully. Because they are a bonded pair, we will not consider adopting them separately-- they sleep together, play together, and need to spend the rest of their lives together. Nico and Lemonade are easy cats who would make a wonderful match for a first-time adopter.

They have been neutered, are current on vaccinations, tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and treated for worms and fleas. Their adopter will receive their medical records. They're being fostered in Melrose. 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 their case, the adoption fee has been reduced to $245, which reflects a significant discount to facilitate them getting adopted together and the fact that Nico is on the shy side-- a bargain for a pair of new best friends who will be devoted companions for life. Cats can live past 20 years, so please consider whether you can commit to providing a safe, loving home for life before adopting. Please email Safercats11@gmail.com 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.
