Meet your future couch companion: Lucky C!

This handsome orange-and-white tom is a 12-lb hunk with a big ol’ neck and an even bigger heart. If you’re looking for a laid-back, low-maintenance lovebug, he’s your guy.

He’s a cuddle bug with a deep, rumbling purr that kicks on the moment you give him attention. He’s not much of a toy chaser—his favorite activity is relaxing near his people. He also enjoys being held! Dolphin pats? Yes please. Belly scratches? Absolutely. He also makes excellent biscuits, clearly a professional.

This sweet boy is very communicative—he’ll politely (and adorably) let you know when it’s feeding time. He’s loyal, affectionate, and easygoing, with a charming orange chin that just begs for scritches. If you want a calm presence who will stick by your side, look no further.

Lucky C is a FIV+ cat. He doesn’t need any medication or care. Just a warm home with a lot of love.

A reduced adoption fee will be applied to Lucky C’s adoption.

Lucky C is a 3-5 year old neutered male cat with up to date shots. If you’re interested in Lucky C then fill out an online application at https://melrosehumanesociety.org/adopt

Meet Derby!

Derby is quite the good boy for a one year old! He is sweet, gentle, and calm with the occasional zoomie. Once he feels comfortable in his environment, Derby is friendly and curious about the world around him.

Derby prefers quieter environments but when spending time with his foster parents he is unperturbed by TV noise or questionable music choices.

Derby hasn’t been integrated with the other inhabitant cats in his foster home but is eager to play with them. If there are other cats in the home, he will likely need a long introduction since he is still learning kitty manners. It’s unknown if he’s engaged with dogs.

Most days, Derby has enjoyed long naps on a window perch in the living room and the occasional play session ending with snacks since he’s still learning how to play. Derby is very vocal about the need for his daily dose of cuddles and pets and he isn’t shy about complaining when his foster parents have been gone too long. If you’re looking for a faithful companion with a sunny disposition then Derby may be the perfect addition to your home.

Derby is litter trained, recently neutered, and vaccinated.

Derby is a 1-2 year old neutered male cat with up to date shots. If you’re interested in Derby then please fill out an application at https://melrosehumanesociety.org/adopt

Meet Daphne!!

Daphne has kitten energy, a sweet disposition and is super social. Daphne is a people loving ten-month-old waiting for someone who will give her attention and pats behind the ears.

She loves to play- especially with little springs and shoelaces - and at dinner she will follow you to the food and wait on hind legs for you to open the can 😂

There is lots to love about Daphne, but she does NOT love other cats. She should be a solo kitty, though she can adjust to a well behaved dog.

Meet Goofy — a sweet, social 1-year-old male with a gorgeous silver-brown tabby coat and an even prettier personality.

Goofy is the kind of cat who acts like he’s known you forever. He’s very friendly, outgoing, and people-loving, and he’s likely to do great in a home with kids (he genuinely enjoys attention and being part of the action). His compatibility with other cats/dogs is currently unknown, but with a slow, thoughtful introduction, he may do just fine.

He was left without a home in the cold in Chelsea, and despite that rough start, Goofy has stayed nothing but affectionate and trusting. He’s ready for a safe place where he can finally be someone’s “always.”

Goofy’s favorites:

Churu treats (big fan!)

Toy mice and playtime

Scratches, cuddles, and all the love you can give — he lives for it

He’s also litter box trained and settling in wonderfully.

If you’re looking for a confident, cuddly companion who will greet you like a best friend, Goofy might be your guy. 🐾
