My personality

My story

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

Meet Girly, a lovely lady looking for her forever home. When she arrived at the shelter after her owner died, she was severely underweight and in bad shape. But once the shelter staff nursed her back to health, they reached out to the MCSPCA for a foster home, and Girly adapted well to leaving the shelter, lounging in the sun, playing with feather toys, and watching birds out the window. Due to her playfulness, the MCSPSA’s vet estimates she may be younger than what the shelter originally thought. But she is now happy, healthy, and ready to go to her forever home.

She is a sweet and affectionate cat, although she does have her boundaries. She will keep you company as you work from home and has no qualms about interrupting your zoom calls or demanding pets. She is curious and outgoing, and likes her food (she will not let you forget meal time) and feather toys. She is talkative, and will ask for food or playtime. She will sleep on your bed or next to you on the sofa, and greet you when you come home. She would be a wonderful addition to any family.

To adopt you must first complete an adoption application and meet the cat either virtually or in person in its foster home. We do not do same day adoptions so, generally, we can only adopt within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

We generally hold cat adoption open houses every week at local Petco or PetsMart locations. See our website www.mcspca.org for details on upcoming events. Appointments can also be arranged to visit our adoptable cats at other times.

The MCSPCA facilitates dog adoptions through referrals. We also maintain a list of dog breed rescue organizations for people who are looking for a particular breed of dog.
