If you have been considering adopting a cat but want to be sure your new family member will be good with children, then you will definitely want to meet Autumn.

Autumn was especially fond of the children in her former family. This pretty tortie is a very sweet, loving, tolerant cat. She is mellow and affectionate, and happy to quietly entertain herself with toys when her humans are busy. She likes being held and cuddling in laps.

Autumn has always been a strictly indoor cat and enjoys life indoors.

Autumn is about five years old. She lost her home when a new baby was found to have severe allergies.

Please call Neponset Valley Humane Society at 781-769-1990 or email us at nvhumanesociety@gmail.com if you would like to arrange a meeting with Autumn.
