Meet Cora!

Cora is named for the abstract heart art on her fur. Between that and her ocean eyes, she’s a showstopper!

She’s a little over one year old.

Cora has been friendly and loving from her first arrival to her foster family, and has been the most loving mama to her four kittens who are all now growing up themselves. She enjoys body rubs and brushes and company from her humans, and communicates with a wide variety of purrs and trills and meows throughout the day.

She has adjusted to young children with ease, as well as other cats in the home with a gradual introduction. Cora has a particularly awkward and goofy way of playing that has emerged as her kittens have gotten older, as if she is learning to play for the first time and it surprises her 🥹 It will be really fun to see how she comes out of her shell over time now that her mama responsibilities are wrapping up.

She’s been such a sweetheart and devoted mama, she deserves all the love in her next chapter! If you’d like to adopt mama with a mini me, check out sweet London (coming soon)!

Meet Giorgio!

Giorgio is a lovable 2-year-old male cat with a playful spirit and a big personality.

He loves chasing toys, exploring, and spending time with his people. When he’s not playing, he’s happy to curl up for cuddles, and he’s always ready to chat with his signature vocal charm.

Giorgio is looking for a home where he can share his affection, energy, and companionship.

Giorgio is a neutered 2-3 year old male cat with up to date shots. If you’re interested in adopting Giorgio please fill out an online application at https://melrosehumanesociety.org/adopt

Let’s start the week with another !

Here is Nabisco aka Nabi! He was adopted December 3, 2023 and is living the life 🥰

According to his family, Nabi is the perfect mix of spunky, goofy, and irresistibly cute with the biggest eyes that make it impossible to say no to him. He loves chasing his crinkle balls, and he can even play fetch!

Catnip does absolutely nothing for him, so he prefers a high tech lifestyle with lots of interactive toys to keep him entertained. He also has very expensive taste and fully embraces the bougie life: he complains if he gets the same wet food flavor on consecutive days, demands only the comfiest beds and mats, has his very own heating mat, and requires not one but two water bowl options 😂

Nabi loves his dad (even though mom picked him first), his favorite banana toy (it’s really his mom’s plushie), and Having churu delivered by hand to his tent.

We are so happy to hear Nabi has brought so much love and joy to his home and envy his life of leisure! Thanks .nabi for sharing!

If you have a happy tail you’d like to share, please DM us!

Meet Nips!

Nips is a confident, affectionate boy who knows exactly what he wants: head rubs, window views, and your company. He loves spending his day watching the world go by from a sunny window perch, and you’ll know he’s especially happy when he’s stretched out and gently wagging his tail.

This sweet black cat is always close by—he’s become his foster mom’s little shadow and loves following her from room to room. He has the softest little meow, loves to give kisses, and isn’t shy about demanding head rubs whenever he thinks he’s due (which is pretty much 24/7).

One of Nips’s most charming features is his unique haircut behind his ears, which gives him the look of a tiny Albert Einstein or a distinguished old gentleman. Combined with his loving personality, it makes him completely unforgettable.

Nips is a gentle, easygoing boy who would likely do well in a home with respectful children. He enjoys being around his people and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal shadow and best friend.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate cat who will follow you around, keep you company throughout the day, and happily supervise the neighborhood from the nearest window, Nips is your guy.

Nips is a 2-3 year old neutered male cat with up to date shots. If you’re interested in adopting him please fill out an online application at https://melrosehumanesociety.org/adopt

Meet Cleo!

Cleo is a sweet brown mackerel tabby who is ready to be the newest furbaby to your family! At just 1-2 years Cleo has spent her early life being a dedicated mom to her kittens, and now it is her turn to be pampered and loved.

She will always greet you when you come home and give you a chirp and happily follow you around so you know she missed you she also will chirp a hello as she enters the room. She has a playful spirit, a go with the flow chill calm personality while also having playful high energy.

She is not picky and will basically play with any / all cat toys whether it’s a feather on a stick, a puff ball or a mouse with a jingle bell. After play-time, her favorite thing to do is take a nap on her scratch pads and be with her human family for some nice head, neck, and back scratchies / rubs but won’t stay long.

She is very inquisitive and always has something to check out. She loves to stare out an open window watching birds, bunnies, squirrels and any other animals she sees out the window. She loves to hunt and catch spiders / little bugs in the house.

She loves fresh water, hard cat crunchy food and churro cat treats. Her favorite is her silvervine stick. Beware she also loves whipped cream so don’t leave your hot coca or ice cream sundae near her.

If you are lucky enough to be picked to adopt this special loving girl and make her a part of your family she will continue to show you why she is so special.

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