Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Waltham, Massachusetts

Barbie and Ken are two sweet, social kitties ready to bring endless love and a whole lot of fun into their forever home.

A charming odd couple, Barbie is a petite 1–2-year-old calico cutie, while her devoted partner Ken is a 6-year-old orange-and-white “big boy.” Barbie is playful and full of energy, while Ken is her gentle, easygoing counterpart. Together, they strike the perfect balance and share a loving bond that’s truly heartwarming to see.

Outgoing and adaptable, Barbie and Ken would likely do well in a home with other cats or even a calm dog, given proper introductions. They could also be a wonderful match for a family with cat-savvy children. As a bonded pair, they are a package deal and must be adopted together.

If you’re ready to welcome two absolute dolls into your life, you just might be the missing piece to Barbie and Ken’s dream house—and their happily ever after.

These fees fund spay/neutering, microchipping, vaccinations, and combo testing (feline leukemia and FIV) for your adopted cat, rescue efforts, shelter, and veterinary care. Our policy is to adopt kittens in pairs. We find that kittens are much happier when they have a companion and they tend to expend their youthful energy on each other rather than on your couch! Kittens are adorable, but older cats can be wonderful pets as well and they tend to be overlooked, so please consider adopting an adult cat or two!
