Story
Meet Cash a curious, affectionate girl with a big personality and a loving heart. She truly enjoys being pet and will happily head-bump your hand to ask for affection one of her favorite ways to show love. Her curiosity keeps her exploring her surroundings, always interested in what’s going on around her.Like many sensitive souls, Cash can become overstimulated, so she needs a home that understands and respects her boundaries. She would thrive as the only cat in the home and would do best with older children who can read her cues and give her space when she needs it. In the right environment, Cash will be a wonderful, loving companion—full of affection, charm, and gentle head bumps for her lucky forever family.This is what Cash`s foster had to say `I`m currently having the joy of fostering Cash. She has quickly warmed up, showing a lot of curiosity and confidence in the new space. She loves being pet and will head bump your hand affectionately. That said, she can get overstimulated quickly when being pet`If you are interested in adopting Cash, please send an email to blueskyfosters@gmail.com to arrange an initial virtual meet and greet with the pet’s foster parent or a staff member. They will reply to you within 24-48 hours.

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. ##2656190##

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.
