**Affectionate Older Cat Needs a Loving Home - Free to a Good Home** Meet Flea! This sweet, cuddly cat is looking for a new family to shower with love. While he may be a bit shy at first, once he gets to know you, he’ll be your loyal companion, always ready for snuggles. Flea is on the chubby side and prefers lounging over running, making him a perfect lap cat. He’s fully litterbox trained and easy to care for. Flea will need his shots updated in October, but overall, he’s a healthy and content kitty. Unfortunately, we can no longer care for him due to the arrival of our new baby. We’re hoping to find him a forever home where he’ll be loved and cared for as he deserves. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate cat, Flea might be the perfect addition to your family. Please reach out to meet him and see if he’s the right fit for you. Will also pay for his vaccine renewals in October. WILLING TO COME TO YOU

Alice, a petite, loving, mellow black cat with white paws, was rescued in upstate New York by our son, who was a senior in college. She is perfectly house trained and perfectly healthy. The vet estimates she is about 5 years old. My son brought her home when he graduated and the cat now lives with us— but my husband is horribly allergic to her. He’s been taking higher and higher doses of allergy medicine but it just doesn’t help anymore. Can anyone find a home for Alice? She’s a good girl, just not right for our family.

Hi friends !  My name is Jacob and I am a handsome long haired grey tabby with a handsome white chest and beautiful white toes. I am a 3 year old love bug and I crave human attention. I love to play and then just nap in the sun. I am FIV negative and very healthy and of course handsome.   That's what they tell me anyway.... My foster mom calls me her handsome boy.

Quinny is an 11-year-old lovebug who's ready to steal your heart. Declawed by her previous owners, she's had no issues and is thriving. This charming old lady adores people and will greet you at the door with enthusiastic meows, ready for pets and cuddles. She loves to play despite her age. Quinny loves to hide behind doors for a little game of hide-and-seek and is always up for rubbing against your legs to show her affection. When guests visit, she's sure to become the star of the show everyone who meets her falls in love! At bedtime, she'll snuggle under the covers and keep you company all night long. It's heartbreaking for us to let Quinny go, but she's very timid around our little dog. We've kept them separated to ensure her comfort, but it's time for her to find a peaceful, dog-free home where her loving personality can shine. If you're looking for a cuddly lap cat who'll bring joy to your life, Quinny is the perfect match. Could you be the one to give her the home she deserves?

Mary and Mini’s Personalities Mary and Mini are adorable dilute tortoiseshells with light grey and peach colored coats. They are very sweet and don't showcase any of those sassy "torti" traits. These girls love playing, chasing and wrestling with each other, and being petted by their foster parents. Both girls have been "caught" spinning in circles, chasing their own tails. They sleep curled up together, are perfectly matched, and must be adopted together. MARY is a beautiful girl with a peach tipped tail that helps you distinguish her from her sister. She is everything that a kitten should be - beautiful, silly, playful, curious, sweet and playful. Mary is a friendly, confident girl who adapts quickly to new people and places. She loves to romp and wrestle with her sister and toss toy mice around. Mary greets you with an happy upward tail, and purrs when you pet her. She is always up for kitten shenanigans and won’t turn down an opportunity to chase a feather on a stick. When she is tuckered out from playing, Mary loves to curl up next to you or snuggle with her sister. MINI has a lighter face than her sister with a cute peach streak from her forehead down to her nose. She is the more mischievous of the two sisters, but it takes a little time for Mini's true personality to come out. Mini is initially quite shy in new environments, and looks to Mary to show her that new things and new people are ok. Happily, after a few weeks in their foster home, Mini went from being in Mary's shadow to taking the lead herself. Now Mini is usually the one taking charge when it comes to play sessions, grooming each other, and sitting in their foster mom's lap. Mini is also the more chatty of the two sisters. She has opinions on many things and isn't shy in telling everyone what she thinks! Type of Home They Need Mary and Mini need a quieter home with experienced cat caretakers who give them plenty of nurturing as they grow up. A home with an adult couple would be ideal although an older cat-savvy child would be ok (about 12 yrs or older). No very young children or dogs now or in the future. Where They Came From These girls were rescued as young kittens, along with their mom cat and two brothers, from someone’s home where they weren’t being adequately cared for.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.

We got Donut when she was 3 months old from PetSmart. She is almost 2 years old, and loves attention. She enjoys playing with her favorite black shoelace, and lots of cuddles(her tail poofs when she is loving the cuddles).

Star is pregnant. She is an amazing cat. She’s very independent.

He is a very affectionate cat He’s amazing, but unfortunately, I cannot take him to my new place and I would love for him to be in a loving home. He’s only about eight months.

We’re seeking a loving home for our sweet, playful cat, who has been a cherished part of our family since we adopted her as a kitten. She’s a goofy little black void with a big personality—her favorite game is hide-and-seek, and she loves to snuggle at night. She’s affectionate, curious, and happiest when she’s with her people. She doesn’t shy away when guests visit but tends to take her time warming up to new people before welcoming pets! Unfortunately, our 160-pound Italian Mastiff’s prey response created constant anxiety for her despite our efforts, and now, as we prepare for our first baby and adjust to a new home, we’re overwhelmed. Balancing the needs of a newborn, her care, and our own adjustment feels unmanageable. This heartbreaking decision comes from wanting her to have the peace and stability she deserves. She’s been raised in a home full of love and would thrive in a safe, calm and loving environment. If you can provide her w the loving home she deserves, pls reach out!

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

Zulu is an awesome and shy cat that minds her business and is looking for a loving home. I adopted Zulu when she was around 8 months old, and she has been with me for 4 years. She has traveled around the world with me and I will miss her very much. Unfortunately, my other cat is very dominant and does not get along with Zulu, despite being with together for four years. This is causing Zulu significant anxiety and is leading her to overgroom. This is likely due to the significantly smaller apartment that I live in after returning to the U.S. This is an extremely difficult decision but I do believe it is the right one for her health. Zulu is up to date on all of her vaccines. She has had active pet insurance for her entire time with me and has never gotten seriously ill. E.g. she has only had the typical cat "ate something weird" or hairball issues. I am throwing in an automatic pet feeder, pet carrier, and her favorite suction cup window hammock to go with her as well.

Adventure Kitty showed up on our front porch a few months ago. She’s not just a “neighborhood outdoor cat”. She acts as if she used to be an indoor cat but was dumped. Every time we come home she is very excited to see us. She clearly loves people. We already have three cats so we can’t take her in. So we have been feeding her and giving her a warm and protected place to sleep outside. She is really sweet, playful, and always approaches anyone who is outside in our yard. She gets along with other cats in our neighborhood and is probably not even a year old. We live near a busy street and would really like to have her in a safe and stable home.
