Story
Chance has been an amiable companion since day one to his foster mom! We found him in the street but too friendly to release. He has chubby cheeks and the prettiest jade green eyes. He is also the longest cat we have ever seen, so we named him Mr. Big. His foster brothers were not very friendly at first, but he won them over and now they love him. If you think your cat would never welcome another cat into the household, give Chance a chance!

Carmelo was adopted. He is a lovely and lively furry friend. He loves to play catch, play tag, and watch birds and squirrels on tv. He loves grilled chicken by fancy feast and chicken flavor treats. His trilling noises are his way of communicating, nonetheless a unique and pleasant furry friend to be around. He loves company, I don’t want to return him to the shelter. Looking for a pleasant home that suits his needs. 💕

Story
Meet Jake — your new best buddy! Jake made his way from an overcrowded North Carolina shelter to the DMV in search of a brighter future, and he’s ready to find his forever home! This handsome 6-month-old boy sports a stunning marble coat and an even more beautiful heart. Jake is a total sweetheart who loves scratches, playtime, and—of course—treats. He’s a champion cuddler who adores being petted and will purr his heart out to show his appreciation. A big fan of being close to his people, Jake is also a devoted leg-rubber who just wants to be part of the action. He’s still growing into his frame, so a few extra snacks make him extra happy! Jake eats both wet and dry food, and he’s already a pro with his pellet litter box. We think Jake would thrive with another young feline friend to romp and play with—but most of all, he’s looking for a loving home where he can give all his affection..

Story
So before Leo got brought into this world, We (my family) had two cats named Luna and star. They had babies and that’s how Leo came about. She’s now seven years old. She was a family cat and has been trained and raised with us since she was a baby .When I moved out of my mom‘s house, I took Leo with me and she’s been staying with me ever since. Leo is a very, very loving cat. She loves being pet. There was times where we used to let her roam outside and she would just love to get pet by anybody who walked past ANYBODY. She loves cuddles. her whole life she’s lived with other pets. She does require frequent brushing also. Now that I am moving and I’m not able to bring her with me this time,I am looking for a home for her and looking for people who will love her just as much, but if not more than I do. she does require frequent brushing and wiping.

Story
I adopted them from a shelter at one and a half years of age. They are very quiet they like to be on their own a lot but they will adopt you if you spend some good time with them. They didn’t cause any damage in my house or my belongings. They are absolutely dedicated sister cats, and truly love each other. We’re preparing to move to a location that will not accept animals and we have quite a bit of travel in front of us. Every single possible cat supplies comes with them for free.

Story
Antonio I purchased from a breeder and his brother Marco about two years ago. They were just one years old at the time and now he is three years old. His birthday was January 9, 2023 and I think he is a tabby breed not sure. He is a loner and doesn’t like to be petted at all but only when he is ready to be. He is a big eater not sure how much he weights but overweight. He is mostly active at night I feel because it’s the most quietest time with everyone sleeping. We have a dog as well and I have three children. He doesn’t like the dog at all and not friendly to kids either only my husband he comes around when he wants to be petted. I feel he also has anxiety issues with the kids and now the dog making he use the litter box a lot plus he has actions all the time on the floor and etc. I want keep him and his brother together but feel it would be better for him to go to an owner with no kids or pets might be best and will help with his anxiety issues. He is a beautiful cat no other issues

Story
Bernie is an affectionate, indoor-outdoor cat who loves to lay in the sun. My husband and I have had him for three years, and we will unfortunately be unable to take him with us on a big move. Bernie is one of the most cuddly cats I have ever encountered. He truly knows no strangers and will accept pets and cuddles from just about everyone. He is very healthy for his age, and is microchipped. Bernie is an indoor-outdoor cat, and we believe he will do best with access to the outdoors. He is had litter issues in the past that resolved with allowing him to spend most of the day in our small fenced-in yard. Even though he prefers to be outside, Bernie still loves people and does not have much interest in roaming far. We also have a Litter Robot that we are happy to give you for free if you take Bernie. We are truly so sad to have to rehome Bernie, and hope someone looking for a very sweet indoor-outdoor cat will be able to take him.

Liam is a sweet and friendly cat who likes to snuggle up with you on the coach or bed. He greets you at the door and can follow you around too. He's not good with kids. I will provide you with hard food, 2-3 "worlds best" litter bags, an automatic feeder, litter box, little genie litter pale and refills. You'll have little to no out of pocket expenses for 2-3 months.

Story
Please consider adopting with my brother Maxwell! https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/46727396-washington-district-of-columbia-cat Tigerlily (Lily) is a very loving, but shy and skittish cat. I got her when she was 6 months old and she will be turning 10 in March. In the past few years she developed an unknown allergy and requires specialty food. Aside from the occasional ear infection, she is in great spirits. When her allergies were particularly bad, she lost the hair on the back of her ears and it never grew back. She doesn't seem to mind and it's kind of adorable. I am having to rehome her brother (Maxwell, also listed) due to ongoing medical costs and she is bonded with him so I would love if they could find a new forever home together. Preferably a quieter home due to how nervous Lily is. She has gained some weight in the past few months due to us moving back to the East Coast, as she hides under the bed mostly, only coming out for food and bathroom time.
