This pretty tortoiseshell cat is available for adoption through Neponset Valley Humane Society.

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.
