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!

Meet Sweetie: The Cat with a Dog’s Loyalty and a Survivor’s Spirit 🐾 Looking for a furry friend who’s equal parts cuddly, playful, and brave? Let us introduce you to Sweetie — a beautiful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining cat who’s ready to be your new best friend. 🌟 Her Story: From Surviving to Thriving Last Thanksgiving, Sweetie was abandoned outside with her kitten and her male companion. It was clear they were once beloved house pets — confused, scared, and doing their best to survive. Thankfully, Sweetie found her way to safety with a TCAR foster, and she's loving indoor life! 💖 Her Personality: Sweet, Silly, and So Much Fun Sweetie lives up to her name! She’s: Affectionate – loves pets, light cuddles, and human attention. Playful – she’ll chase toys for hours and even entertains herself when you’re busy. Well-mannered – uses her litter box and scratching post like a pro. Dog-like – she follows you around, wants to be involved in what you’re up to, and has that loyal energy that makes her feel like a “cat dog.” She’s the kind of cat who will make you laugh, keep you company, and fill your home with joy.

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##

May May does not get along with other cats and would be better off as the only pet in the home. She is somewhere between 6 and 7 years old and very affectionate, but only on her terms. She does not like being carried or held, or having her nails trimmed. She is overweight (work in progress), and needs some dental work, but otherwise healthy.

Story
Winnie is a very sweet girl! She is somewhere between 6 and 7 years old, spayed, and fairly quiet. She loves to be petted and will even pat your shoulder if you do not immediately give her the attention she wants. She does not like to be held, but will occasionally climb into your lap for attention. She is overweight (work in progress with the vet), but otherwise healthy. She would be better as the only pet in the home, because she was not socialized properly.

Chrissy is very vocal and loves pets on her back. She also loves to snuggle. She is very active and also very sneaky lol like to jump scare people when there not looking and follows you around a lot. I will include an automatic litter box and feeder. She likes her food mixed with wet sometimes and if left alone with the dry food she will rush to eat and throw up so be careful with the serving sizes

Story
🖤 Meet Vlad — your future best couch companion. Vlad is a handsome adult Bombay black shorthair with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. He’s super friendly, outgoing, and absolutely adores being petted. If you’re nearby, Vlad wants to be too. This sweet boy is the kind of cat who will happily choose his window or couch spot and make it his official snuggle station. He enjoys human company, thrives on affection, and brings a calm, comforting presence to the home. One of the best things about adopting an adult cat like Vlad? What you see is what you get. He already has his manners, his personality is fully formed, and he’s past the wild kitten stage. No chaos, no constant supervision — just a settled, predictable house cat who knows how to relax and be a loving companion. Vlad would make a wonderful addition to a home looking for an easygoing, affectionate, low-maintenance friend who simply wants to be part of your daily life. If you’re ready for a loyal lap buddy with polished house skills, Vlad is waiting. 🐾🖤
