About Bosco

Bosco is a shy guy who loves to nap in his cubby. However, his true personality comes out when he has some Churu or catnip! And check out his playtime video! Bosco needs an experienced cat owner who will let him settle in at his own pace. We think that given enough time with a patient owner in a quiet home, Bosco will blossom into a loving and friendly cat. To meet Bosco, please drop by the Cambridge PetSmart during open hours: Saturday 12-2, Weeknights 6-8. ***For same-day adoption, please fill out the pre-screen by copying/pasting the following link into your browser: https://bit.ly/3yRGpMD Be sure to check our Instagram @brokentailrescue for updates!

About Domestic Short Hair Cats

Domestic Short Hairs are the most common cats found in shelters and are not a specific breed but rather a wonderfully diverse mix of feline genetics. Each one is unique, with their own blend of colors, patterns, and temperaments. They're adaptable, low-maintenance, and full of character.

Adopting a Domestic Short Hair means giving a home to a cat who truly needs one. These cats are the backbone of shelter populations and make endlessly rewarding companions. Their easy-care short coats and adaptable natures make them ideal for first-time and experienced cat owners alike.

Adopting in Worcester, MA

Worcester's Central Massachusetts location and underdog spirit make it a welcoming city for pet adoption. The Heart of the Commonwealth has dedicated shelters with many animals ready for loving homes in New England's second-largest city.

With Elm Park - one of America's first public parks - Green Hill Park, and the surrounding Central Massachusetts countryside, Worcester offers adopted pets a classic New England lifestyle at a more affordable price point than the Boston metro.
