Catrina's Info...
| Breed: | Domestic Longhair | Color: | Tortoiseshell | Age: | Young |
| Sex: | Female | Hair: | Long |
I was born in DC to a beautiful calico mom. My sister, Captain and I are the last of the litter to find homes. I am a beautiful long haired tortoiseshell girl. I have pretty greens eyes and one of the fluffiest tails you will ever see! I am considered a special needs cat because I was born with the herpes virus. The official name of what I have is Chronic Rhinitis. I am healthy now, but my new family has to make sure I see the vet regularly and that I stay up to date on my vaccinations. I am healthy now. The only lasting effects I have sometimes are sneezing and runny eyes. I am adorable and very loving and affectionate. I will sit with you and purr the whole time. I am social and like other cats and dogs. I am young and still very active. I love to play!! I like any toys and love when my humans will play with me. I am ready for new home. Please stop in and see me at the shelter on Saturdays. I was born in April 2012.
Shelter Info...
As many of you may already know, we have a mission: To enhance the lives of Montgomery County Maryland residents and animals through programs directed at education, adoption, animal shelter, and low cost spay/neuter. The AWLMC is committed to ending the euthanasia of adoptable animals in Montgomery County Maryland. With this in mind, we are partnering with the county shelter to help save the most at-risk animals. Currently, we are only working with cats. We hope to be able to add a dog program soon.
In order to save as many cats as possible, we have opened a no-kill shelter in Gaithersburg. We need your help in the form of direct financial donations and by volunteering your time. Our organization is strong and full of highly dedicated volunteers of all ages, backgrounds, professions and abilities. We are working together to save the lives of cats and kittens, to find them loving, forever homes and to have them spay/neutered. All of our cats and kittens are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
We are the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County.
