Thanks to our student volunteers, Adi, Amanda S, Anya, Ara, Emily, Emmy, Eliza, Elliot, Ezra, Kate, Maddie, Payson, and Rebecca for getting to know our cats and then writing these paw-some profiles. You will notice that our cats range from about 1 year old to 14 years old. We don’t take in cats under 8 months old, but if you’re looking to adopt a kitten we suggest checking out rescue partners PALS Animal Lifesavers and PAWS Wakefield. To see the profiles of all the cats we’ve had at the cafe over the years, click here.
OUR CURRENT CATS
-
Lex
Lex is a dapper older gentleman who enjoys looking sharp in his fancy bow ties! He came to us in rough shape with many health issues including diabetes, arthritis, and irritable bowel. This made some basic cat activities like walking and jumping or even grooming difficult. You could tell he just didn't feel well. A change of diet to a novel protein diet (consisting of rabbit, duck, venison, and even alligator - $600/month!) and an injection for his arthritis has Lex feeling like a new kitty! This 14 year old miracle boy takes his insulin without issue, has put on weight, and is now walking, jumping, demanding his yummy food, and snoozing in cozy spots. He feels so much better! With his expert biscuit making and soulful eyes, he is sure to steal your heart, just as he has stolen ours.

Chickpea
Chickpea is a three year old stray who was rescued and fostered by PAWS Wakefield for 4 months. He’s shy but is progressing step by step to becoming the energetic cat we know he is inside. He now regularly adventures out, climbing his cat tree and playing with his favorite wand toy, and wrestling with his buddies, especially Reed. When he first arrived in September, he wouldn’t let anyone pet him. Now, he asks for pets by head bumping people’s hands. We know this little chickpea has more than hummus to offer. His new people will have to work to make him continue to feel loved and safe. We also think he might like a cat buddy to keep him company. We can’t wait to see how he continues to progress into the best Chickpea ever.
-
Max
Max is a 9 year old Siamese that was brought to us through a joint rescue effort between PAWS and PALS after his owner could no longer care for him. He is super friendly and has even shown an affinity for laps. We believe that Max is really short for “Maximum Love!” Max has kidney issues and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and we’re working with vets to stabilize his condition and help him gain weight back.
-
Franklin
Franklin is a super outgoing 2 year old who was found pretty beat up and rescued as a stray by our friends at PALS. Franklin didn’t hesitate to show his love for people by climbing right on their laps. He’s proven to be quite an adventurer and playmate, coming to life whenever he sees a wand toy. He loves rocking his spiked collar to make him look like a tough guy, but he’s really a fashionable bundle of love. Franklin has an approved adopter and will be going to his furr-ever home in a few weeks.
-
Kermit
Kermit is a one year old who has melted our hearts already with his friendliness and pursonality. He was rescued as a stray by the pawsome people at Commonwealth Cats and brought to PALS. He is getting braver by the day, feeling more comfortable around people and joining in for cat play sessions. And yes, we are looking for that perfect muppet-themed collar for him!
-
Gandalf
Gandalf is a two year old who was rescued as a stray by PAWS Wakefield. He is incredibly friendly, seeking out laps and pets. Gandalf warms up to new friends instantly. He’s a big little fluffball with the puffiest tail, which thumps with the same charge as the wizard does his staff. If he’s drooling all over you, you know you’ve made his heart content. Gandalf needs and loves his daily brushing, not to mention an extra Churu or three. Gandalf has a low grade heart murmur which will need to be monitored in any future home.
-
Maverick
Maverick is a two year old friendly boy who was rescued by PALS as a stray. Maverick was a bit shy at first, but with a Churu, he soon burst into a little energetic noodle of affection. He didn’t feel a need to slowly ease up to visitors, just look into his big green eyes and hold out your hand to give him pets and he’s all over you. Maverick has some beautiful patterns on his fur, even some little shoulder pads, but getting a picture of him sitting still is a challenge you’ll have to face. The more people, the better, as he thrives on lots of human attention.
-
Otis
This cute 3 year old boy here is Otis! Otis is a heart warming kitty cat that will make your day just by giving him a few pets and scratches. This classic old school tiger is a little shy when he first meets you but will warm up instantly if you give him Churu to eat and let him play with shoe laces! Otis loves pets and scratches on his chin and his head and body. Otis is a curious little boy who would love to find an amazing family for his forever home! (But with Churu and shoe laces!)
-
Milo
Aren’t Milo’s eyes mesmerizing? Milo is a 7 year old who was surrendered to PALS when his family moved. He is super friendly and lovable and will probably follow you around everywhere you go. He loves to play and has quite the jump for a chonky cat. Milo is a shedding machine, but loves being brushed all over!
-
Jack
Meet Freya’s dad, a shy two year old who was rescued as a stray by PALS. Jack is a true cat’s cat, who loves the opportunity to bond with other cats but is a little more hesitant around humans. Fortunately, he can wooed by Churu allowing us to give him head pets!
