Clarksburg, MD

Details

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

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.

Story

Valentine is an affectionate and playful cat who attaches strongly to specific people. While she is shy and nervous around new people, once she trusts you, she will want to cuddle and play with you as much as possible. She has been a member of our family for about 7 years, but our son has developed an allergy to cats that makes it no longer possible for us to keep her. We are looking for a warm and loving home for our warm and loving cat.

Good with kids, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lucy and Ethel are litter mates that I rescued 10 years ago when they were kittens. They lived outdoors and weren’t well cared for. They are super sweet cats and I truly hate the thought of rehoming them. However, as I age my allergies for pet dander has gotten extremely worse, intolerable. I started doing allergy shots and have gotten no relief. My physical health is suffering and they sure need and deserve all the love, cuddles, and pets. They still have their claws and are strictly indoor cats. They have to stay together! They typically hide when a visitor comes. They tolerate my grandkids but are used to a quiet home with no other pets. Ethel has to be on rx dry food diet from two prior issues with bladder stones. I’m so concerned about finding a loving home, that I will continue to provide at my expense, the rx food just for peace of mind and her care. They are not on any medications. I have the paperwork on all their up to date shots and microchipping.

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Agnes was adopted as a kitten with her littermate into our house with another cat and a dog four years ago. As she has gotten older she has grown to dislike her four legged housemates and hisses at them. She is affectionate and loving to humans, even guests in our home. She rolls over and shows her belly asking to be scratched. She also says hello with a welcome meow. Unfortunately, she wants to be the sole star of the home and avoids the others (except at mealtime). We are hoping she can find some peace in a singular animal household with loving humans. Agnes is healthy, she has all her shots up to date, and she is microchipped.

Story

Meet the most mellow, sweetheart cat ever, Ruth!! We're hoping to find her a new forever home without dogs because she's scared of ours. Ruth has been exceptionally unproblematic: great with her litter box, appetite for wet and dry food, good with nail trims, easy to place in a carrier, well-behaved in the car, no health issues noted by the vet, etc. She's the most mellow cat we've ever met—she's happy to hang out in one spot all day and greet you with a few tiny meows and a head bop when you pass by. She loves cuddles and will rub her face against you if you hold her and give her face kisses. She especially LOVES belly and above-the-tail scratches and being brushed (which always leads to her giving kisses). She would be the perfect companion for someone in an apartment as she is generally low-energy.
