Tortoiseshell and American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption in Billerica, Massachusetts

Hi ! My name is "Sophia". I am approx 16-weeks-old and was rescued with my siblings from a waste management site that was unsafe for a cat or kitten to be in or around.

My siblings and I have been safe and sound the past few months in foster care, learning that being inside a home is a much better place to be with lots of tlc, toys, yummy food and treats ! I am are fixed, vaccinated, combination tested negative for all, healthy and ready to find my forever home.

My foster mom reports I'm a true tortie with "tortitude" who enjoys pets but will let you know with a swat (no claws though!) when I am is done. I love treats, crinkly toys and am best friends with "Valentina" who I must be adopted with.

If you are a patient, true feline-lover, you have met you true match.
