A Cat's Guide to Life in Massachusetts
As dictated to her owner, Guidespot writer mswen.
Hello. My name is Callie.
And the resemblence is…where?
Jail. But if you’re angry enough, you can get out.
A horrible, horrible memory.
I will go to great lengths to lay in the sun.
For my kneading pleasure.
The glorious smell of bacon will wake me from a dead sleep.
If it’s not Jonny Cat, I will not pee on it. I’ll pee on the brick fireplace hearth instead.
This was taken during a complete lapse of judgement on my part.
Ridiculous.
My owners had this in red. I refused to jump on it.
I say you can’t bathe a cat. That’s who.
International Cat Show
87 Arlington Street, Boston, MA 02116
Forget Westminster. Did you know that there’s also a cat show? Of course you didn’t. The International Cat Association Cat Show is part of the Boston Pet Show and shows over 100 breeds of domestic cats, both exotic and purebred. Also in attendance are rescue leagues, breed clubs and shelters, all there providing information on cats available for adoption.

I will pester you endlessly until you give me a pile of these treats.
Market Basket
400 Somerville Avenue, Somerville, MA 02143
Food, treats, and cat litter: the staples of my life are purchased here. I prefer the Market Basket brand center-cut bacon, Whiskas Temptations treats, and Friskies wet food. They also buy my Jonny Cat litter here at a fair price.

My food dish.
Marshalls Department Store
350 Washington Street, Boston, MA 02108
My owners love this place. And they don’t just come home with new shoes or clothes for themselves – I’ve also gotten my fair share of goodies from here, too. Like two of my favorite fleece blankets. And my cat food bowls.

The FURminator cat brush. I’ll pretend I don’t like it, but I totally do.
Petsmart
5 Mystic View Rd, Everett, MA 02149
I could spend hours browsing the aisles of this place. It’s got everything an owner needs for caring for a pet, including a stupidly-named yet heavenly brush and my current litter box. Visit their terrific online store for shopping from home.

Animal Spirit

Finally – a pet store with an owner who is truly passionate about what she does. Walk in and ask any question: about food, grooming, anything – and you’ll be given an educated, helpful answer and will probably see things in a new light. Let’s be frank: I love my Friskies. But it’s like McDonald’s – delicious yet deadly. When I’m ready to convert to healthier food, I hope my owners go here. Sure, it’s more expensive, but they carry organic, top of the line brands that aren’t readily available anywhere else. They also offer grooming services, and on Saturdays cats are there available for adoption.

Brookline Grooming & Pet Supplies
146 Harvard Street, Brookline, MA 02446
This place carries a good variety of the higher-end cat foods and obscure litters, but they also have the fun stuff: glue on cat claw covers, toys, treats, bed, and cool cat feeders. I’ve heard that the staff isn’t super friendly, but humans tend to put too much emphasis on friendliness anyway.

Some owners call this a “miracle product”.
...but not quite as FABULOUS as me.
Mspca
350 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130
The $125 adoption fee will get your new cat taken care of with all of their shots, flea and ringworm medication, get them spayed/neutered, and a microchip.

Animal Rescue League
10 Chandler Street, Boston, MA 02116
Lovely volunteers put all potential owners through an interview process, which is a good thing, so don’t get annoyed. And there tend to be older cats here rather than a ton of kittens, so open your heart to one of them if you can.

Northeast Animal Shelter
204 Highland Avenue Suite 1, Salem, MA 01970
The staff here is serious about what they do, and their first priority is caring for the animals. They adhere to a a strict adoption process which can often come across as unfriendly, but in the end, they want a good home for their animals.

Alliance for Animals Mobile Action Clinic
232 Silver Street, Boston, MA 02127
This shelter also offers services like spaying/neutering and vaccinations. Pay what you can afford, but try to at least cover the cost – these people really care about what they do.
