Story
Milo walked right up to my neighbor and let her pet him. She started feeding him and I told her I'd help her find him a home. We got him neutered and he's gotten his shots. We've fattened him up a bit as he was malnourished. Neither of us is able to keep him long term and we take turns keeping him at our homes. He's around other cats and dogs. Some he likes, some he doesn't. He's the sweetest boy, though, and loves humans. Probably would be best in house with fewer to no animals.

Story
Misty is an affectionate 10 year old cat. She purrs a lot! She loves to be pet on her head and her chin and she enjoys sleeping on your feet or in your bedroom. She loves cozy blankets and laying in the sun. Misty will do well with someone who works from home and can give her attention throughout the day. She can be mischievous and curious when it comes to unattended human food! Misty lived with me for 4 years, after a family member passed away and Misty needed a new home. I work full time in an elementary school and often get home late, and Misty seems to want more attention. I’m looking for Misty to have a happy remaining time of her life with an affectionate owner. She also enjoys time outside so would do well in a home with an enclosed backyard, yet it is not necessary for her to be happy.

Story
Lulu is a purebred white and gray Ragdoll (long hair, green eyes), she's 4 years old and spayed. She's a 100% indoors cat, she's chill and patient with children and gets along with other cats (at least with the one she lives with, who's another Ragdoll) and is used to birds. We have chickens too, but she does not interact with them. To be completely transparent: we are rehoming her because over the past few months she's developed a habit of pooping on our thick rugs and we haven't been able to retrain her. I understand this could be a no-go for many people (it is for us), but she might break out of this bad habit in a new home. Lulu is not up to her vaccines right now because she's completely indoors (and so is her companion), but I could take her for her shots before rehoming her. She has her pedigree papers.

Story
Meet Chloe! Chloe, born in May 2024, has the softest fur and enjoys pets, scritches, and even belly rubs. When she's not snuggling, Chloe has a lot of energy and loves to play. She has an appreciation for cat toys of all kinds but she particularly loves wand toys and chasing felt balls. When it's time to settle down, she'll cozy up in your lap or a comfortable spot near you so she can be close to you. She can be chatty, and purrs very easily when you're snuggling. Chloe is shy at first, but when she opens up she will be a lovable, cuddly companion! 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.
