My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PERSONALITY
I like to inspect things. You could say I was nosey, but I prefer to consider myself curious. You may be curious about my coloring. I am not your average white cat! Not with my calico tail! I am laid-back and quite docile and I like to curl up on the couch with my foster mom.

Hobbies: Napping
Favorite Toy: String on a stick and paper bags
Favorite Napping Spot: On top of the cat tree

HOW I CAME TO THE PGSPCA
I came to PGSPCA alone and pregnant. They took care of me and realized that I was sweet and gentle enough to be adopted. I was adopted but a couple of years later I found myself at the PG County Animal Shelter. This was a very scary place to be. Luckily, PGSPCA came and got me and put me in a new foster home where I’ve been able to get comfortable again.

DREAM FAMILY
I am an older cat so I want a family that has good napping spots. I like to cuddle with my foster mom while she watches TV or is on the computer but I don’t interfere with the keyboard. I want a calm house where I can play a little and then have a good nap. I am sweet and loving and will be a great companion!

My Profile
Age: The vet thinks I'm about 8 years old
Good with kids: never met kids, but probably scared of young ones.
Good with dogs: unsure
Good with other cats: unsure
Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: Yes
Activity level: like to explore, but can chill out, too.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All of our adoptions begin with a visit to one of our adoption events. The adoption coordinator and/or the pet's foster parent will review the applications received. The applicant (if any) whose responses best fit the needs of the particular pet will generally be contacted within a week to schedule a home visit. A vet check and personal reference is also required prior to visiting your home. Our non-refundable adoption fee is $250 for dogs, $85 for kittens ($150 for a pair of kittens), and $75 for an adult cat. The fee covers spay/neuter, core vaccines (distemper and rabies), deworming, microchipping, and the general care of the animals. Per our contract, if you cannot keep your adopted pet for any reason, it must be returned to our program. We will try to find it a new home.

Go meet their pets

We don't have a central shelter facility, so the best place to meet our adoptable cats and dogs is at our adoption shows! If you have previously filled out an application, please bring it with you to the show! Please e-mail with any questions. We cannot guarantee that an animal you want to meet will be at the show. Please check www.pgspca.org -> adopt -> adoption_show_attendees the day before the show and we will do our best to let you know if he/she will be there!

We hold two adoption events each month, on Saturdays from 12 noon to 2 pm.

More about this rescue

The PGSPCA is a nonprofit organization of volunteers dedicated to animal welfare. We are chartered by the State of Maryland, but we receive no state or county funds. Our activities are supported solely by contributions, dues and fundraising events.

We have three main objectives:

• To reduce the number of unwanted litters of dogs and cats through our progressive spay/neuter program – We have altered more than 20,000 animals over the past five years, many of them at no charge;

• To prevent cruelty to animals and all animal suffering through humane education, neglect and cruelty investigations, protective legal action, and an active dog and cat adoption program – We receive about 1,000 calls a month for cruelty investigations, spay and neuter assistance and adoption requests;

• To protect all animals against suffering and abuse through education on legislation affecting the protection of all animals – We regularly educate the public and provide testimony about animal welfare to county and state legislators.
