My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

COURTSEY POST - Please contact Melanie Blesse at 202-255-5369

Hi Im Fauna (the name means Goddess of all Animals) a 1 Year old Dilute Tortoiseshell who needs a New FURR-Ever Home. I was found nearly 9 months ago on a sidewalk in a wooded area. I was turned out of my home and found by a very nice person, who realizing my condition took me to her Vet. I was given my vaccinations, antibiotics, cleaned out my ears! The vet said I had a chronic rhinitis. I am in good health except for occasional sneezes! The vet says I will need routing visits to manage my congestion.

I love to play toys, especially feather toys and balls that I can chase. I will answer your questions with a solid ME-ow and I have quirky, funny personality. I am described as very friendly, easy going & happy - not afraid of anything & totally unflappable. I am very smart & could be a cat that learns tricks. I do have a quirk in that I love getting into my cat carrier, riding in the car & going to the vet!!!

I have lived with two 15 year old Siberian cats but prefer to be the only cat n the house so we can share more time together and of course Your only Furry Feline Friend. I am very food focused and will constantly try to eat so taking my medications is not a problem. My current Foster is extremely fond of me, but she already has two cats so I need a New FURR-Ever Home. My Foster feels I am a very unique and special little girl. Call Melanie to see me - You will not be disappointed!

More about this shelter

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.

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.
