Story
This sweet, loving guy is a total cuddlebug. He loves curling up in your lap, snuggling close and getting all the pets he can get. Friendly, relaxed, and people-oriented, he fits right in whenever there is love to give.  PLEASE READ: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, please apply online at www.catdogfriendrescue.com. Please do NOT call or send inquiries via Adopt A Pet or PetFinder as we are a small rescue and cannot handle a large influx of inquiries and phone calls. You can email us at acatsfriendinc@gmail.com if you have questions, but if you would like to be considered for adoption, you must fill out an application. Please note if you are applying for a kitten under six months of age, you must have another friendly kitty in the home or adopt another kitten. Additionally, unless otherwise indicted that this animal is a purebred, all of our animals are rescues and the "breed" selection is a best guess based on their apperance as we have no way of knowing their specific breeds.  Out of state adoptions (outside Virginia/DC/Maryland) do require three years of excellent past or current veterinary references. We look forward to hearing from you! Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter and microchip insertion.  Please note these are not pedigree animals and we have no way of attesting if any of them are hypoallergenic and as such cannot adopt to homes with allergies. ##2637207##

Story
Officially named spaceship but goes by “cat” due to our young kids in the house. Adopted through a shelter as a kitten. No outdoor exposure- stays inside. Super playful and kind cat. Loves to cuddle at night and run around the house to chase cat toys. Doesn’t scratch furniture with the cat towers around (will give cat supplies- cat carrier, cat tower, feeding bowls, cat bed, lots of cat toys, and litter box set up if needed- free with cat). She is spayed, fully house trained, not declawed, does need some updated vaccinations.. Need to rehome due to relocating in a multigenerational home for our family.. please consider taking our sweet girl in. She is great with dogs, but has had no exposure to another cat thus far- so unsure about that. We will be attempting to bring her with us if unable to find a good home.. just feel in our hearts she’ll be less stressed with a loving home not in the middle of a move. please consider taking. Have a great day

Story
Annie is from Massachusetts. My uncle found her outside the greenhouse of the soldier's home where he lived. He sheltered her in his room, feeding her from a baby bottle. Little Orphan Annie roamed the hallways, meowing at residents and riding the elevator. The men would gift my uncle with toys, treats, and food for their hall mascot. Annie wasn't affectionate with anyone but my uncle, and then only after he'd gone to bed. She'd jump up on his chest, ready for cheek rubs and back pats, purring loudly. My uncle was distraught when the new administration said pets were not allowed. He flew down from Boston with Annie in a carrier, and came to visit her every Thanksgiving. She's lived with me for 11 years. Annie likes to sleep on my bed, sit next to me on the arm of the sofa, and to be petted on her own terms by rubbing her face against my hand. She is vocal, plays with a laser, feather, or pencil; and would thrive in a quiet home where she can bond with 1-4 people.

Story
Just as the moon was full in the sky, there was a clanging sound: the trap had been triggered. Upon inspection, the trapper was shocked; instead of the intended stray dog, she had caught a pretty little kitty with chicken McNuggets. For obvious reasons, the gray-and-white bicolor cutie was named Moonie McNugget and was sent for spay and vaccinations. Although she was a bit shy, Moonie seemed to be friendly. With ample time for decompression, Moonie McNugget has come out of her shell, seeking out pets and hanging out with the resident cats in her foster home. Moonie could be the center of your universe or join a home with friendly cats--as long as you're willing to give her time to get comfortable. Then, she might even agree to lounge in your shirt pocket!
