My story

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

🌟 Meet Hope — The Sweetest Little Sidekick With a Big Heart! 🌟

Hope truly lives up to her name. Found as a nearly blind tiny kitten on a farm, she was rescued by a kind person and has been thriving ever since under loving care. Now about 1.5 years old, this brown tabby beauty is finally ready for her forever home!

👑 Personality & Daily Life
Hope may have limited vision, but she makes up for it with sharp hearing, confidence, and the energy of a kitten! Her pointy ears are always on alert, and she navigates her world with grace, curiosity, and a healthy dose of comedy.

She’s especially bonded to “her person” and is known to perch on shoulders like a queen surveying her kingdom. When the door opens, she’s right there (so open slowly!) and then leaps onto feet in greeting — it’s hilarious and adorable.

This girl loves:
✨ Fetching toys (on her terms, of course)
✨ Rolling over for belly rubs (and demanding more with her paw)
✨ Lap time — but only with her royal consent
✨ Being around other animals — she LOVES animal friends!

🍽 House Manners & Care
Hope has impeccable litter box habits, eats well, and has refined taste (her favorite wet food is shredded chicken from Fussie Cat — clearly, a lady of luxury). She prefers dry food but enjoys wet food as a treat.

❤️ Health & Vetting
Hope is:
✔ Spayed
✔ FIV positive
✔ In perfect health
✔ Up-to-date on all vetting
✔ About 1.5 years old

Her FIV status is truly no big deal — especially for a cat like Hope who thrives around other animals. FIV cats can live long, healthy lives and can live safely with other friendly cats, as long as everyone gets along. (Hope is an absolute unicorn in that department — she adores other animals!)

🏡 Ideal Home
Hope would do best in a home with other cat-friendly animals to keep her company. She blossoms around furry friends and enjoys being part of a little social world.



If you’re looking for a sweet, funny, affectionate, shoulder-perching princess who brings joy everywhere she goes, Hope might just be your perfect match. 💛🐾

Go meet their pets

We list all of our kitties here on Adoptapet. Many of our kitties go to adoption events at a Frederick PetSmart store. Please be aware that kitties typically do not show their true personality at an adoption event. Check our facebook events page for upcoming adoption events: https://www.facebook.com/pg/FFOCASonpets/events/

More about this rescue

Our mission is to support and facilitate the lifesaving work of our local county shelter (Frederick County Animal Control) by providing the resources to:

- treat and rehabilitate animals with medical and behavioral needs who might otherwise have to be humanely euthanized;
- enrich the shelter environment and reduce the amount of time any animal stays in the shelter, minimizing the chance for new behavior or health problems to develop;
- recruit volunteers and foster care providers who are able to work with special needs animals; and
- help families keep the pets they have and avoid surrendering pets to the shelter.

We serve as a safety net for the homeless pets of Frederick County. To help achieve our mission, we have a rescue program (Cats with Character) as well as a shelter intake prevention program (Project Hope). We work closely with the Frederick shelter's barn cat program, Barn Cat Buddies. Through Project Hope, we are sometimes asked to help rehome animals who are still living with their owners.

On our Adoptapet page, you will find our available cats and kittens, kitties who came through Barn Cat Buddies but who would do well in an indoor home, and animals coming through Project Hope who are looking for a new home.
