American Shorthair kittens & cats in Falls Church, Virginia

Miles is a chonky cuddler who loves to eat and play! I adopted him over three years ago from a family in Washington state. He is about 11 years old. Vet has told me he is in good health and I have not noticed anything wrong physically. I am working all the time and about to move again, and I don’t want to put him through all that. I would rather him be with a family that will spend time playing with him. He would do best in a home with no dogs unless they are well behaved and chill. He can get used to dogs it just takes a long time. I do not know his behavior around other cats. Overall Miles is extremely chill, but when he is hungry or wants you to pick him up he will definitely let you know.

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.

Rashita is a rescued cat from the shelter, we got her 7 years ago. She was very scared when we got her as a kitten she was a strayed cat before getting to the shelter . At only 8 weeks old we adopted her and has been with us since we are the only family she knows or has been. Although she’s is very scared of the outdoors she loves to peak her head out to watch the birds chirp in the mornings . We have a dog that is 12 now and their relationship hasn’t been the best. Rashita has her own room with her litter and food all to her self she’s very to her self doesn’t like people hides when we have visitor. Her only major problem is . She pees on beds sofa and anything she finds on the floor from time to time. I attribute this to anxiety or anger towards to dog or whenever she misses a bit of food or water. Never goes a day without eating and pees in her litter daily . We don’t know what else to do. Maybe is the dog the kids or us she doesn’t like n would enjoy a solo family instead.

Nickey was found by a friend on the street as a baby. After nearly 5 years this friend was overwhelmed by some big life changes and could not care for the cat anymore anymore. I adopted him in 2022, but recently moved to a much smaller room long-term with other roommates who do not want a cat in the house. Nickey is not able to roam and is confined to a very small room, where he does not have the comfort he needs to thrive. He usually had lots of room to run around and play- otherwise he gets angsy. He would be most comfortable in a home where he has free roam, cat tower and scratching posts. He had lived with multiple cats and dogs before and can get along with new people easily. After so much change and restriction in his life, he really just needs a consistent forever home where he will feel free and loved the rest of his years.

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.

About Me: Hi, I’m Pol! I’m a playful and affectionate little guy who loves head scratches and belly rubs (if I trust you). I’ll follow you around like a shadow and always be ready to greet you with a happy purr. Personality: • Sweet and snuggly • Loves to play with feather toys • Gets along with kids Special Talents: • Purrs like a tiny engine • Can turn anything into a toy • Master of loafing and making biscuits 🐾 I’m looking for a loving home where I can nap, play, and cuddle to my heart’s content. Could it be with you?

Hi there! My name is Bear, I am probably one of the most “dog” cats you’ve ever met. I love all people, am super energetic and curious as hell. I’m not afraid of anything and will keep you company day and night. Unfortunately, my current pawrents have another cat and dog. When they adopted me, the thought I would be a good fit. The behaviors of the puppy and cat do not mesh well with my brave and bold nature, and I do not get the attention I need. Thats why I would need to be adopted into a home with either a trained dog, an accepting cat that will hold its ground, or ideally one without any other pets. I am a little over a year old, have the cutest white marks on my belly and love laying on you and taking a nap! I also am extremely food motivated!
