American Shorthair kittens & cats in Mount Airy, Maryland

Who says you don’t get second chances in life? That’s certainly not true for this sweet older lady. We don’t know much about her back story, but what we do know is that somehow she found herself alone on the streets of Baltimore. She was taken to Baltimore Animal Control, where everyone there immediately fell in love with her. As stressful as it must have been to lose her home, be kicked out on the street and then wind up at a busy shelter, her wonderful disposition just shined right through. She absolutely adores people and was a well loved pet at one point. She can’t get enough of being petted and receiving belly rubs. She is an easy going ol’ gal and gets along fine with other cats and animals. She’s extremely adaptable. She has perfect litter box skills and manners. She’s not one to climb up curtains or scratch on furniture. Her favorite thing in the world is just to snooze next to her person. She does have a playful side, but in general she’s a very calm girl. Just an all around sweetheart. She will make a new family very happy. Like all Furever Home cats, Uni is FeLV positive.

Sweet little Daisy has every reason to distrust people, but like most animals, they are willing to give us a second, and sometimes a fifth, chance. Daisy was abandoned on the streets with her brother when her family moved out and left them behind. A few months later, her brother was attacked and killed by a dog. Luckily for her, a caring neighbor began looking out for her and leaving food. As time passed, it became apparent that little Daisy was just not doing well as an outside cat. Her fur lost it’s shine and Daisy began to get sick. Again the nice neighbors took her in, but unfortunately for her, by then she had contracted FeLV so the neighbors couldn’t keep her. Because there are not nearly enough FeLV rescues, many have a long waitlist. The neighbors were concerned Daisy wouldn’t survive outside in the hot summer so they expanded their search until they found us. The problem was that we were a 16 hour drive away! But the nice neighbors were willing to make that sacrifice for Daisy. And we very quickly understood why. Daisy is so worth it!!!! She is the most lovable little girl! She loves to snuggle with her people whenever she can, but she’s not overly Velcro either. She loves to play with her toys as well, but she’s also ok on her own through the day. She has the most adorable little chirp and will actually have an entire conversation with you, although we admit, sometimes it’s hard to understand what she’s saying. She also has impeccable litter habits and will actually wipe her little paws off before walking away from the litter box. In summary, Daisy is perfect! Like all our cats, Daisy is FeLV positive. If you’d like more information on what that means, feel free to call us at 301.703.1674 or email FureverHomeMD@gmail.com.October 25, 2024, 12:13 am

Meet Square! Square is a large boy, but not obese. He needs the bigger frame to carry around all the love. And he has the most smoochable little pink nose! He’s a confident, curious boy who likes to snuggle but isn’t overwhelming about it. He’s a gentle giant. He’s obviously had a tough life because he does shrink away if you come at his face too quickly, but once he trusts you, he loves to be stroked and petted. At four years old, he’s that perfect age when he still has a playful side, but he also enjoys a good nap. He has perfect kitty litter etiquette and doesn’t scratch up furniture. He does well alone or with other cats. He’s perfect for a new cat owner since he’s just so easy to have around. He’s extremely adaptable and will do well in most households as long as there is at least one window that allows a sunbeam to come through. Like all Furever Home cats, Square is FeLV positive. Therefor he can not live in a house hold with a FeLV negative cat. If you’re not familiar with FeLV, feel free to reach out to us for more info.

Meet Meow Meow! Ok, yeah, we aren’t a huge fan of the name either, but it completely fits him! This four year old boy has SOOOO much personality crammed into his body! Although he doesn’t have the markings of a Bengal cat, we’re convinced he has some genetic components. Why? Well, he’s got the long, lanky athletic build and he LOVES to talk. This boy will run circles around any teenager on the planet! He starts a conversation and he will just go on and on and on…. So he’s either part Bengal or he’s a reincarnated opera singer. It can really go either way. Meow Meow is a confident, friendly cat who enjoys playing as much as he enjoys a good nap. He’s the perfect age when he has spurts of energy and will do zoomies around the house for no reason, yet he can be calm and chill as well. He has perfect litter box skills. He’d do well with other cats (as long as they are FeLV +) or he’d be fine as an only cat. He’s also comfortable around calm, cat safe dogs. Like all Furever Home cats, Meow Meow is FeLV positive. Therefor he can not live in a house hold with a FeLV negative cat. If you’re not familiar with FeLV, feel free to reach out to us for more info.

There is not shortage of survival stories in rescue, but Reese is an absolute miracle. We don’t know how his story started, but Reese was found during the high heat of summer in Texas. Struggling would be an understatement. His skin was raw and irritated, his breathing was labored, he could barely see, and he could hardly move. After ending up with an amazing rescue, Reese was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, a horrible case of mange, malnourishment, dehydration and entropion issues (his eyelids scraped against his eyeballs). But worst of all, he had a 22 caliber bullet lodged near his spine. But the rescue saw immediately how incredible this boy was and put nine months of love and patience into his rehab. His skin was treated, he received surgery on his eyelid and the bullet was removed. He received physical therapy and over time regained almost nearly full motion. Reese relished being cared for and is a complete love bug. Understandably, he’s shy with strangers at first, but warms up quickly and loves pets and scratches. Once Reese had recovered enough from all the trauma, he was diagnosed with FeLV so was transferred to Furever Home in Maryland. He continues to improve and is the sweetest little man ever. Now he’s ready for his very own family so he can live the rest of his life full of safety and love. Like all our cats, Reese is FeLV positive. Therefore he can only be placed as an only cat or with other cats that are FeLV positive.

Meet Miley!    Trust us, this little girl is not just absolutely adorable (with the most boopable nose!), but she is as sweet as can be as well.  Miley is a playful, curious, friendly, grade A snuggler!  She is the perfect mix of fun loving kitten and cuddler.  She’s always up for a game of catch or chase, but when she’s tired, she loves nothing more than a head massage while sitting on your lap.    She has zero bad habits (besides being a kitten).  She LOVES her food and scarfs it up with no problem and uses her litter box like a champ!    She does have a minute of shyness when she meets new people, but her curiosity level is high and usually wins over incredibly quickly.    Unfortunately, Miley is a special needs cat though, so she needs an adopter willing to put in just a bit more effort.  Miley had a few seizures as a young kitten.  Once she was put on phenobarbital, the seizures completely stopped, but she will probably need to be on this for life.  Currently, her pills are very easy to give – we just crush them with the back of a spoon into a powder and sprinkle them into a churu each morning.  She’ll eat it all up with no complaints.  The cost of the pills runs about $10 for a two month supply and can be filled at a regular grocery store or pharmacy.  It is, however, something to keep an eye on.  Like all Furever Home cats, Miley is FeLV positive.  She can not live with non-vaccinated FeLV negative cats.  If you don’t know what FeLV is, please feel free to reach out to us at FureverHomeMD@gmail.com or call 301.703.1674 November 14, 2024, 2:45 pm

Meet Luno, a 4.5 year old American shorthair with a big personality! He’s very affectionate, playful, and loves plenty of attention and playtime. Luno is best suited for an experienced cat owner who understands his needs. He thrives in a calm environment and, while not ideal for homes with babies or young kids, he can do well with other cats if introduced slowly and with patience. Luno loves attention and enjoys cuddling up next to you once he’s comfortable. While he may not like being carried around, he’s usually right by your feet, following you around the house. It’s important to note that Luno can get overstimulated during play with other cats, and this can sometimes lead to brief moments of aggression. It’s a quick reaction that passes, but it’s something to be mindful of in a multi-cat household. He’s healthy, up-to-date on vaccinations, and litter box trained. I’ve taken him for every annual vet exam since 2020.

Hi! This is Sailor and he's about 8 months. He is one of the last of 4 litter mates to go home. He is such a sweetheart. Once he loves you he will follow you around like a puppy. Every night he sits at my door asking to come in. He needs someone very loving and attentive. He will literally sleep face to face with you so be prepared! This sweet baby boy is waiting for his forever home!

Finn is 5 years old. I adopted him when he was about 2 months old. He is bonded to Casper (the gray cat I also have on here). Finn loves to lay by you when you're on the couch. He loves to be pet and spend time with you.

Meet our lovable cat, Francis. He’s around 10 years old and is searching for a forever home where he can share his warmth and affection. Having spent his entire life with one family, he is incredibly loyal and thrives on being petted and cuddled. If you let him, he’ll be a devoted lap cat, loving every moment of close contact. He’s intelligent, gets along well with other cats and kids, and is great with strangers, quickly making new friends. He uses his litter box well, is not picky about litter type or food, but has one request: he prefers a running water cat fountain, as he won’t drink from a stagnant bowl. His only behavioral issue has been scratching furniture, so finding a suitable scratching post that he likes is essential. This affectionate cat needs a home where he will receive the love and attention he craves or another feline friend to keep him company. If you’re ready for a devoted companion who will shower you with affection, he’s eager to meet you!

Luna is a personable 8-year old female short-haired cat that I adopted one year ago to live with me in my small apartment. I was told that she prefers to be the sole pet, and I do not have dogs or other cats. I have not had the opportunity to see her interact with other pets. I do not know her background, but she does seem to be a bit jittery, or nervous at times, and I am hoping to find someone who has the time to spend with her, and give her some loving care. I have some chronic health problems, and am not able to devote the time that I believe is necessary to comfort her. I am sad to put her up for adoption, but want her to have the best home possible. Her food is Purina One Plus.

(BONDED PAIR) Buttercup (brown) shows affection and attention on her terms. She is loving when she wants to be. She gets along well with Bubbles (gray) who also needs to be rehomed. Bubbles is a great lap companion and likes to cuddle. He is well mannered, lovable, and gets along great with Buttercup (his sister) who also needs to be rehomed, ideally together. Both were rescued at the same time and have been with each other since birth. They are 100 % indoor only experiencing the occasional outdoor walks in pet stroller, which will be included with adoption. Adoption fee is negotiable and includes various supplies, remaining food, toys, shampoo, clippers, comb, brush, beds, litter box, remaining litter, and condos/trees.
