Story

I recently had to pick up another job and am no longer home enough to care for my cat. I am praying to find a great home for my first pet who can provide him with the love and time I can no longer provide him. He is about 3 years old and doesn't get along with other cat in the home. He can be aggressive to other cats but is very kind with dogs.

Girly

Domestic Shorthair

Details

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

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.

Story

Burritos and his brother are an inseparable pair looking for their forever home together. These playful, loving kitties born on/around March 31, 2024, are the perfect combination of spunky and sweet with little motors that can run a long time, and they're ready to bring double the joy to your home. These boys share a special bond and find comfort in each other's company. They play together, nap together, explore together and are always looking out for one another. Adopting them as a pair means double the love and double the fun. Also by having a built in playmate who is always ready to go, they are more likely to adjust well to any household with or without other pets. They are well-socialized, respectful of the foster mom's resident cats and have been exposed to a few cat friendly dogs whose company is often sought out. 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.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bushie came to the MCSPCA at the age of 11 when her favorite human became too ill to care for her. Bushie still has a lot of love to give and was quick to share some night time cuddles with her foster. While she likes her foster home, she really wants to be in a home where she gets all the attention instead of having to share her human with other animals. Bushie is a sweet girl who will show you how much she loves you by purring loudly and sleeping next to you. She loves a good catnip toy and her cardboard scratcher. Her litterbox manners are excellent. She’s quite chonky but has been working on losing weight in her foster home. She’s sometimes shy around new people at first and would do best in a quiet home as the only kitty. Come meet Bushie and let her have her own forever home to live out her senior years in love and comfort.
