My name is Aries and I was rescued from a parking lot in Oxon Hill. I went through some scary things as a kitten that made me shy and cautious, but I'm a very affectionate kitty and I love being petted once I feel safe. I'm quite chatty. I've discovered that I love wet food and Temptations treats.
My foster mom tells me I'm beautiful, all white with only a black spot on my back and a black tail.
I will need a quiet home with no dogs, no children, or at least no children under 12, and a patient adopter who will give me time and love until I get comfortable in my new home.
I am being fostered with other cats and I would make a good companion for another calm and gentle kitty. I especially like to play chase with the kittens because they are smaller than me and I feel safe with them.

All of our adoptions begin with a visit to one of our adoption events. The adoption coordinator and/or the pet's foster parent will review the applications received. The applicant (if any) whose responses best fit the needs of the particular pet will generally be contacted within a week to schedule a home visit. A vet check and personal reference is also required prior to visiting your home. Our non-refundable adoption fee is $250 for dogs, $85 for kittens ($150 for a pair of kittens), and $75 for an adult cat. The fee covers spay/neuter, core vaccines (distemper and rabies), deworming, microchipping, and the general care of the animals. Per our contract, if you cannot keep your adopted pet for any reason, it must be returned to our program. We will try to find it a new home.

We don't have a central shelter facility, so the best place to meet our adoptable cats and dogs is at our adoption shows! If you have previously filled out an application, please bring it with you to the show! Please e-mail with any questions. We cannot guarantee that an animal you want to meet will be at the show. Please check www.pgspca.org -> adopt -> adoption_show_attendees the day before the show and we will do our best to let you know if he/she will be there!
We hold two adoption events each month, on Saturdays from 12 noon to 2 pm.
