American Shorthair kittens & cats in Arlington, Virginia

Leyla's Personality Beauty and brains, sweet and just a little bit sassy. This little charmer, whose nickname is "Miss Bean," will win you over in no time. Leyla loves hanging out with her foster parents and is always close. She likes to lay next to you on the couch - just provide a nice, soft fleece blanket. Leyla is super friendly and loves, loves, loves being brushed. She enjoys a gentle routine and rewards you with soft purrs and gentle head butts. Leyla came into SPCA's care pregnant - delivering six healthy kittens two days later. Once her kittens were weaned and adopted, Leyla became more playful as she learned to be a kitten again! Leyla goes nuts over a catnip-filled pillow. She sometimes gets the zoomies and chases just about anything that moves. Miss Bean won't wake you up for breakfast in the morning, but waits patiently by your side until you pet her, then she starts the day with the loudest purr. She loves to sleep on a soft blanket on the bed at night and occasionally chases your toes under the covers. Her favorite things are catnip toys, getting brushed and showing off her trick sitting on command for treats. If Leyla can’t find you, she lets out a little meow, and comes running when you call. She loves people, and is not shy at all. She is a perfect little companion. What Type of Home Leyla Needs This sweet, sassy girl needs a home where people are around for her to hang out with. She is not demanding, but likes to be near people. Leyla likes to be in charge of her territory and needs to be the only pet - no other cats or dogs. When Leyla is unsettled or anxious about new things, she can get a little over-stimulated and nip your hands - so no young children now or in the future. An older, cat-savvy child who has lived with cats before might be ok (over about 12 years of age). This behavior has subsided in her foster home now that she has settled in. Where Leyla Came From Leyla was rescued from outdoors by a kind man who found her abandoned in a park shortly before giving birth to six healthy kittens (all adopted). She was such a sweet, nurturing mama. Now its time for Leyla to have a home of her own.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.

Shadow and Sailor are truly the best cats. They are both 1 year old and will be turning 2 in March. They are both super playful, very funny, and love to cuddle. Their personalities are very bright and outgoing. They are both truly special. I got shadow and sailor with my ex over a year ago and I’ve been taking care of them in my own since we split in February. I love them very much and that’s why I believe they deserve a better home. I travel a lot for work and can’t afford having someone watch them when I’m away. They deserve someone who will always have the energy to play with them and give them what they need. I feel like they would work very well with a couple or even family or someone that spends a lot of time at home. Again they are truly special. Also the MUST stay together.

Looking for an adorable supervisor for your home? Look no further! I am a curious, silly, and brave kitty who loves to know what's happening. When I'm not in your business, I love to play with my toys (carboard boxes are my favorite) and cuddle with my loving humans! I also grew up with my brother, Biscoff -- so I know and love to play with kitties too! I am ready for that perfect home that wants an adorable little girl to make them smile. I am in Tennessee, but can be transported to the Northeast region to meet you if needed. If you are interested in adopting me, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.December 11, 2024, 8:56 pm

Meet Cleo: A Loving Companion in Need of a Forever Home Hi, I'm Cleo. I'm a sweet 6-year-old girl with a heart full of love to give, and right now, I'm going through a tough time. My dad recently passed away, and while his estate is being settled, I'm staying in his house with another cat. But soon, everything will change, and I don't know where I'll go. I'm a small and gentle kitty (only about 8 pounds). I have a stunning gray tabby coat and green eyes shine with warmth. I just want to curl up in someone's lap and give them all the affection I can. I'm VERY loving and enjoy spending time with humans. I'm also not shy around strangers—if you give me a little attention, I’ll gladly accept and soak up all the affection! The thing I'm most afraid of is being taken to a shelter where I could be at risk of being put down after just a short time. Time is running out for me. Critter Cavalry Rescue is trying to help me, but they don't have foster space, so I'm in urgent need of a place where I can live out the rest of my life in peace and love. Please, could you be the one to offer me a chance? I have many happy years ahead of me, and I would love to share them with you.  I am currently in Tennessee, but can be transported to meet you! If you think you can give me the love and care I need,  I may be small, but my heart is full of love, and I’m waiting for the right person to make me their forever companion. Please don’t let me run out of time. Thank you for considering me! Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.December 2, 2024, 10:18 pm
