Pippa is a beautiful cream colored British Shorthair. She is affectionate when she wants to be but like most Brits does not like to be picked up or held No known health issues. A little difficult to trim her nails- front nails she'll let you, back ones she won't. She doesn't like to be brushed so taking her to the vet is best when shaving out any matted hair. Eats well - fancy feast and Purina one + indoor advantage kibble. Uses the litter box. Pippa comes from reputable British Shorthair breeder in Allentown, PA

Story
Sally and Tony are a dynamic duo of confident and playful cats, each with their own unique charm.   Tony is a curious boy and an expert climber who thrives on adventure, always seeking out boxes, tunnels, and the highest perches in the house. His love for all things high allows him to survey his kingdom from above, and his playful spirit keeps him entertained as he explores every nook and cranny.   Sally has transformed into a spirited companion who enjoys the company of her people. She loves to jump onto laps, playfully asking for pets while still maintaining her independent streak. Her lively personality shines as she engages in fun activities, often chasing Tony around the house in spirited games of tag, where they dart and dash, bringing joy and excitement to their home.   Rescued from Kuwait, these two share a special bond, relying on each other for companionship while embracing their playful natures. They would thrive in an adult home, where their unique quirks and vibrant personalities can truly shine.   Adoption fee: $300, includes all shots, sterilized, dewormed, deflea, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog. Email us at  adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs. See our calendar of adoption events at https://fancycats.org/(scroll towards bottom) You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.

Story
Yuki is a beautiful 3 year old British Shorthair mix with the softest white fur. She is very sweet, gentle, and goes crazy for ear or neck scratches. She always likes to be in the same room as her people and close to the action, but typically observes from afar. She is also independent and can entertain herself without a problem. She is playful and loves to play chase with a cat-fishing toy. She loves coming up on the desk for scratches while you work and always ends up curling up to nap with you. She can always be found in the funniest sleeping positions. One of the best things about having her around is seeing how and where she is sleeping that day. Yuki would be fine as a solo cat in a loving home. She would be fine with a non aggressive cat. Not tested on dogs. Fostered in Arlington, VA

PLEASE READ: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, please apply online at www.catdogfriendrescue.com. Please do NOT call or send inquiries via Adopt A Pet or PetFinder as we are a small rescue and cannot handle a large influx of inquiries and phone calls. You can email us at acatsfriendinc@gmail.com if you have questions, but if you would like to be considered for adoption, you must fill out an application. Please note if you are applying for a kitten under six months of age, you must have another friendly kitty in the home or adopt another kitten. Additionally, unless otherwise indicted that this animal is a purebred, all of our animals are rescues and the "breed" selection is a best guess based on their apperance as we have no way of knowing their specific breeds.  Out of state adoptions (outside Virginia/DC/Maryland) do require three years of excellent past or current veterinary references. We look forward to hearing from you!  Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter and microchip insertion.  Please note these are not pedigree animals and we have no way of attesting if any of them are hypoallergenic and as such cannot adopt to homes with allergies. ##2512818##

Story
He was given to me after he was found as a kitten in an small barn. He is 4 years old currently. I'm hoping to find a patient and quiet home for him. I believe he needs a home with no other pets, kids, and just a good amount of space to move around. He isn't good with being in households with plants. He will find a way to get to them no matter where they are and will eat them. He is a sweet cat that gets attached to people, but will go through random episodes of blind aggression where he will attack on sight.
