About Lil' J

Lil' J is a senior male cat looking for a safe haven. For the past nine years, he and his buddy Mama Tux have lived among a colony of feral cats in Roxbury, with dedicated caretakers feeding them daily. Now the last two remaining members of their group, they need a retirement home where they can live out their years comfortably, either together or separately since they aren’t bonded. As ferals, they’re not accustomed to typical household life but they have been cared for and admired from afar for nearly a decade. Boston's Forgotten Felines plans to ensure they’re vetted before adoption. Adopting Lil' J means providing him with a warm and secure space as winter approaches. If you're ready to give this sweet cat a home, reach out to Boston's Forgotten Felines today.
