Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Baltimore, Maryland

??Everyone poops??Dogs. Cats. Heck, we bet that even *YOU* poop (gasp!!!). So really, you won`t be surprised when we tell you that Freedom here - he poops. At four years old, tiny Free Free has gone through a lot of shi...stuff. Found as a kitten with burrs covering his whole behind, he had difficulty using the litterbox before he was diagnosed with a rectal stricture (in scientific terms, his poop chute didn`t operate properly). After months of surgical procedures, the stricture was resolved successfully! But Freedom isn`t exactly `regular`: he uses the litterbox, but inevitably he leaks a little. From the butt. ***Before we share more about this Lil` Turd`s little turds, let`s tell you a little bit about **him**, and why he`s a delight and purrfect companion. No bull??.??Freedom is an affectionate, petite cat at only 5lb (fully grown!). ??He loves kissing people and snuggling with dogs (his purrrrfect home will have a dog to play with!). ??Fun with feather toys and other games, food, and chin scratches are all on the menu when you hang out with Free Free. ***So what kind of care does Freedom need? ??Despite his poopy problem, Freedom is well litterbox trained (he`s never urinated outside the litterbox, and his major stools all go there without problem). ??From a care perspective, his Foster mom uses a quick wet wipe on him twice daily (along with a weekly bath which he takes like a champ!) to keep him cleaner than a Charmin Bear`s bum. ??Freedom wears a diaper when he`s wandering outside of his room - and let`s be real, that`s ADORABLE. ??He takes probiotics and special food to help manage his stool. Freedom also has asymptomatic Feline Coronavirus, which means he will need to be the only cat in the household, but does not currently require any care or treatment for the condition. ***We know it will take a special someone to adopt a cat with an anal anomaly. But Freedom is, ultimately, a perfect cat. He`s playful, cuddly, and loves everyone - he`s special in the truest sense of the word. As his Foster said, she`d be happy to have him live in her office with her forever, but he deserves a chance at a real home. And it`s our job to help him find one.??Everyone poops?? BUTT... only one very special someone will get to take Freedom home.

Hello, all! My name is Kirk and I’m very pleased to meet you. The first thing you will notice about me is my beautiful black coat and perfectly bushy tail. If you’ve got it, flaunt it! But there is more to me than my good looks. Let me tell you more about me.I`m looking for a loving forever home. I am very playful and curious and use my litterbox like a champ. I will keep you laughing with my funny antics! I love to lay on radiators and head-butt other cats. My squeaky ball and cat dancer are my favorite toys. I also like to chat - I have a lot to say!However, I am still a bit shy and unsure. I don’t like sudden loud noises, like the vacuum cleaner or ice maker. I’m not a big fan of being picked up or held and shouldn’t go to a home with young children. I need a patient and experienced adopter, but I am absolutely worth it!If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website– https://animalalliesrescue.org/adopt/ – and choose me, Kirk! My adoption fee is $150 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age appropriate) and microchipped. We’ve been checked by a veterinarian, and we’re up to date on age-appropriate immunizations against rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus & panleukopenia).

Have you ever found yourself sitting on top of your cat tree and thinking, `everything the light touches...is my kingdom`? No? Maybe that`s just me. My name is Simba, and I am ready to take my rightful place as king (of your house).Don`t worry, though. I`m not some sort of spoiled royal with an attitude. I might take a little while to warm up to you when you take me home, but after a few days I`ll be ready for snuggles. And chin scratches. By kingly decree, I do demand daily chin scratches. I love to play with my toys, and the ribbon toys are my favorite (so that way you can join in too)! And once playtime is over, I`m happy to monitor my kingdom from the top of the cat tree or sit next to a window so I can look at the birds. It`s always good to keep an eye on the outside avian subjects -- who knows what they might be up to.As long as we`re slowly and properly introduced, I`m happy to share my kingdom with any other cats you might have. But if you want me as your one and only cat, I`m fine with that too. Either way, you can show your love and appreciation for my benevolent rule by petting my fur (I keep it super soft!) and providing me with food. Because food is AWESOME. I`m on a prescription diet -- it`s one of my few kingly demands. Everyone knows the lion is the king of the jungle, but you can`t have one of those in the house. You can take me home instead! And then we can live happily ever after.If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website – https://animalalliesrescue.org/cat-application – and choose me, Simba!

Hi! My name is Simone. I must have been a baker in a former life, because one of my favorite things to do, according to my foster mom, is making biscuits! Especially when I’m sitting on her lap. And I don’t even care that this biscuit making only yields more petting and no actual biscuits. That’s the advantage of being a cat biscuit maker and not a human biscuit maker.You might have already guessed that sitting on a warm lap is my idea of a great time. Second to that is lying in a window and watching the world outside. What could be better? Sun, birds - kitty TV! And finally, I enjoy playing with other cats. But lap sitting is definitely my favorite.As for things I don’t like . . . well, loud noises. But who does? Loud noises are scary and who wants to be scared? Another thing—being put in a cat carrier. I know that sometimes this will happen, so I just ask that it be limited to only when it`s absolutely necessary. Finally stress, another thing nobody likes. In the past, I have had seizures in response to being stressed. But I am now taking meds to prevent this, which are inexpensive and very helpful.One final thing: my foster mom says I’m “a sweet, gentle soul.” If a cat can blush, well, I’m blushing to even write that. Plus, I’m great at using the litterbox.If I’m the kind of cat you’re looking for, look no further!

Hi. My name is Coconut. Before we get to the stuff that makes me a good cat to add to your family, I want to tell you about my dramatic rescue from the brink of death! There I was, thrown out in my cat carrier, trapped, hungry, thirsty, feeling really bad. I felt very light, too, probably because I only weighed about six pounds, when 10 pounds was what I should have weighed. Just when I was ready to give it all up, someone picked me up and took me to a caring doctor. Now I’m over all that now and living with my foster family—I survived to tell the tale.One thing I have learned living here is that all people are not mean. In fact, my foster mom says, “Despite his horrendous ordeal, Coconut has proved to be a kind and loving soul who just wants to be part of a family.” That seems exactly right. I love people. I love being petted. And I love sitting on laps. I also enjoy bopping people with my head when I want to say “Hi.”Since coming to my foster family, I’ve discovered more things.! Like, sitting in a sunny window is super relaxing. And, chasing my feather toy, exciting! I’m interested in other cats and wondering about dogs. But small children freak me out. I’m really scared of them and run and hide as soon as I see one. That’s why my foster mom says the best home for me is one where my adopter is present part of the day and my home environment is peaceful and calm—and without small children. I am not comfortable around cats, and would prefer to be the king of my own castle. After all, I have been through some very hard times, so how can you blame me? I have a couple of minor scars from my life before my rescue, which my foster mom says are probably old bite wounds. I might have contracted FIV through one of them. (That stands for feline immunodeficiency virus.) Having FIV makes me more vulnerable to illness, but with regular veterinary care and yearly vaccines, I am living a perfectly normal life. Plus, it is safe for other cats to share water, food, and normal interactions with me.My foster mom also says I am a talker. When I am lonely I howl for my person. I sleep a lot during the day and get more active later in the afternoon and evening. Plus, I have a loud purr that she says, “is sure to please.”Do I sound like the kind of purring cat you want to have in your family? If so, let’s meet!

If your ideal “cat-mate” is on the sweet and shy side and you’ve left those wild girls in your past, we might be a perfect match. As a mature and reserved lady, I find comfort in routines and like to go at my own pace. After all, life is a journey, not a raceI My life is enriched by spending time with humans, receiving pets, exploring and finding cozy spots to relax. Beds and chairs are top of the list. When I meet new humans, it takes a little while to warm up. Once we’ve gotten to know each other better, I’ll nudge you for attention and affection. Did you catch the part at the beginning where I said I’m sweet? It’s worth repeating, I’m super sweet. I didn’t want you to confuse my shyness with anything else. I have a big heart and can’t wait to meet you.If you`d like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website– https://animalalliesrescue.org/adopt/– and choose me, Shea!

October has a "sister" (May). They often sleep together and groom each other. Both are ~10 years old, front declawed and indoor cats. Would like to see them go together! October is a lap cat and loves to snuggle in bed. When the kids aren't around she will jump on your lap and purr loudly. She will often sit on my lap while I work. She shoves her way on if she has to and dives under the blankets to curl up. She also loves jumping on the bed and getting in the way while you are making it in the morning. Some of her favorite toys are just twist ties and Easter egg shells she can bat around the floor. October is recovering from an inflamed bladder due to stress and is on meds til 12/30. She had this ~4 weeks ago too so she is still stressed here. In a no kids home she should recover fully. She had teeth problems when she was around 3 but nothing since and the vet said they look great. We have a small dog which she mostly ignores. We have 2 young kids which seem to be the main stressors

May has a "sister" (October) They often sleep together and groom each other. Both are ~10 years old, front declawed and indoor cats. Would like to see them go together! May is an incredibly sweet and tolerant cat. She is very gentle and wouldn't ever hurt you. When my wife was home during the day she was snuggly but since then tends to want to be moving around especially with the kids but she's usually nearby. She is curious, athletic and graceful walking on narrow ledges. She loves playing with your hair and flopping around on the floor while you pet her. She enjoys boxes and baskets and draping her front paws over things. May has been on a low dose of stress meds a few years. Since our child she has been stressed and shortly after we started her on the meds. Without kids she would be happier and could come off then and return to her normal self. We have a small dog which she will occasionally play with and doesn't seem to mind. Our young kids are definitely the main stressors

Life’s been good to me so far. I hit the jackpot with my first family and was loved and appreciated by them for many years. Unfortunately, my human passed away, which is how I ended up in rescue. While I’m grateful for my foster family, I yearn for a permanent place. My speed and vibe at this stage and age is calm, relaxed, sweet, and friendly, and I’m looking for a peaceful home where I can unwind and chill. This means I’ll do best in a home without dogs or small children. I get along well with humans and other cats, and enjoy affection and attention. Like other cats my age, I have a few easily treatable health conditions (asthma, IBD and pancreatic flares) which are managed well by medications. I’m an old pro at taking my meds, so you won’t have any trouble medicating me - I’ll make it easy on the both of us!

Meet Mango 🥭 Mango is a 1 yr old Orange boy that loves to play. He is very energetic and loves toys especially ones with bells ! Mango is a in house cat. He is up to date on shots. He does well with children and other cats. He has never been around dogs. I am hoping he can be rehoused with someone who loves cats as much as I do and someone who has other cats. He would love the company. Mango does not like being alone, he will be vocal about it lol.

Poptart is a sweetheart of a kitty, though she is a bit skittish around young children. She is only a year and a half but she’s quite lazy! She’s quiet and likes her own space. Very sweet, does not bite or scratch. She would do best with older or calm children. Unknown how she would do with other pets but she does seem to get nervous easily so she would probably do best as the only pet in the house. We are unable to keep her as we are going through personal medical issues, and Poptart is having issues urinating outside the box, which started because she could smell urine on the floors from our last cat. She knows how to use a box, but needs a patient, experienced cat owner to give her some extra help here.
