PLEASE READ: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, please apply online at www.catdogfriendrescue.com. Please do NOT call or send inquiries via Adopt A Pet or PetFinder as we are a small rescue and cannot handle a large influx of inquiries and phone calls. You can email us at acatsfriendinc@gmail.com if you have questions, but if you would like to be considered for adoption, you must fill out an application. Please note if you are applying for a kitten under six months of age, you must have another friendly kitty in the home or adopt another kitten. Additionally, unless otherwise indicted that this animal is a purebred, all of our animals are rescues and the "breed" selection is a best guess based on their apperance as we have no way of knowing their specific breeds.  Out of state adoptions (outside Virginia/DC/Maryland) do require three years of excellent past or current veterinary references. We look forward to hearing from you!  Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter and microchip insertion. ##2213372##

Story
This is Bolt. He is a British Shorthair and Domestic Shorthair mix who came from Kuwait. Bolt has been diagnosed with a slight case of Cerebral Hypoplasia (CH). This results frequently when a pregnant momcat contracts a virus and her kittens are impacted while she is fighting the illness. Wobbly kitties can be some of the most loving and precious kitties that owners who have had one, look for them. Bolt's CH is slight and not expected to degrade as he ages. He is a little wobbly when he walks and sometimes his legs slip out from under him but is otherwise fine. He is also missing canine teeth but this does not impact his ability to eat dry or wet food. Can you open your heart to this wonderfully loving kitty? This sweet boy is awaiting for his forever home. * Our kitties are: Spayed/neutered (or provided a spay/neuter voucher for kittens too small for surgery), combo tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids, up-to-date on vaccines (rabies vaccine when age appropriate), treated for parasites, and most have microchips. Tiny kittens go in pairs unless there's a companion animal already in the household. Our adoption fees are low. Most are $150 although some very desirable kitties may be slightly more. For a pair, we reduce the adoption fee slightly.November 6, 2024, 4:36 am

Story
Rehoming Two Very Affectionate Cats I am faced with the difficult decision of finding a new home for my two sweetheart cats. They are two years old and from the same litter. Healthy, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. Due to financial circumstances, I am moving in with my family, where there is a dog that is aggressive towards cats. To ensure their safety and well-being, I am seeking a kind, safe, and loving home where they can continue to thrive together. Please see the attached photos. If you are interested in providing a forever home for Moose and Bao, or if you know of someone who might be, please reach out to me at the email provided. Your kindness and assistance in spreading the word are greatly appreciated. Gratefully, Isabel

Story
Age: 4 Story: Frank was rescued off of the street a few months ago. A family was feeding him and he tried to get into their house several times, so they believed that he may make a good house cat. Unfortunately, Frank has not taken well to the indoor cat lifestyle, despite lots of time, calming supplements, playtime, and enrichment. He is very aggressive with me and my roommates, scratching and biting (occasionally hissing, yowling, and growling), to the point where I am worried about me and my roommates’ safety. However, I firmly believe that he will be perfectly happy in an indoor/outdoor living situation or as a working cat (warehouse cat, barn cat, etc.) He can be (and likely will be even more, once he has space to roam) affectionate. Characteristics: - Food motivated - Intelligent - Playful - Mighty Hunter - Good litter box manners He has no physical health issues (up-to-date vaccines, microchipped, neutered), but has the behavioral problems noted above.
