Mochi and Boba

About the cats

Gray tabby · Male · 5 years old

Mochi

Mochi is a smart, observant gray tabby with a curious streak. He likes exploring his surroundings and seeing what’s going on, then winding down with dinner and evening cuddles. He’s very affectionate from the get-go, easygoing, and comfortable doing his own thing during a normal workday.

Black cat · Female · 5 years old

Boba

Boba is a sweet, cuddly black cat with a gentle, slightly dreamy personality. She’s more of a homebody than Mochi and loves playtime, window watching and relaxing close to her people. She’s very affectionate from the get-go and easygoing company around the house.

Both are litter-box trained, spayed or neutered, and microchipped.

Living with them

Daily care and support

We’ll remain their owners and bring them home when we return. Before they move in, we’ll meet and talk through their routines and your household.

Day to day: Meals, fresh water, litter care, play and companionship. We’d appreciate occasional photos and updates, and a heads-up if anything changes.
Settling in: A quiet room gives them space to settle at their own pace. They’ll stay indoors throughout the foster stay, even once they’re comfortable.
Other pets: Already have a cat or dog? Please get in touch. We’re open to homes with other cats or a calm dog that is comfortable around cats. We’ll talk through their temperaments, a separate settling-in space and gradual introductions to see whether the household could work for everyone.
Supplies and handoff: We’ll provide their food, litter and Litter-Robot, and share their routines and veterinary information.
Location: We’re based in Bellingham. Within about 30 minutes is ideal, but we’re open to the right fit from Blaine to the Tacoma area.
Travel and backup care: If you expect to travel or may need a break, let’s discuss that before committing. We’ll need to agree who can provide backup care.
Before we begin: We’ll agree on the return date, care, payment, expenses and backup arrangements in writing.
