Pitty's Info...
| Breed: | Domestic Shorthair | Color: | Black & White Or Tuxedo | Age: | Adult |
| Sex: | Male | Hair: | Short |
I came to AWLMC from the Montgomery County Humane Society. I was given up due to a divorce. I came to the county shelter on a leash and just followed my owner right inside. I am a handsome black and white cat with gorgeous green eyes. I am a quiet boy, but will greet you at the door when you arrive home with a welcome meow. I am friendly and affectionate. I enjoy being scratched on the neck, face and ears. I will purr and knead too when I am really happy. I like to be near you and if I am really cold I will climb in your lap for some warmth. I do like to play with fuzzy balls, but I love to sleep too. I am a cat after all! I love to drink out of the sink, but will settle for a water bowl if I have to. Please come see me today. I can’t wait to find my forever home! I was born in 2006.
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.
