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

Goldaline or Goldie or Goldie boi or Fat Boi etc. is a very sweet two year old, cow-colored feline. He is not gold, and despite his unfortunate mustache, is a lover of all humans who provide food and pets. He was wandering around our apartment complex for a very long time. We lured him into our apartment to see if he was chipped or belonged to anyone. No chip, and no owner was found. He was clearly well-loved by someone at some point, as he loves to cuddle and just be near people. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and in perfect health. We absolutely adore him, but ss much as we wish we could be his forever home, my cat Cecilia comes first. As they were just starting to show signs of relaxation around each other, she saw him playfully swipe at me and thought he was on the attack. This caused her to launch herself at him with intent to end his life. Ever since then, she has wanted him off this planet. Please consider adopting this wonderful giant beast.

Story

This is Benji, and he needs your help This baby was left behind by a family that did not want to care for him. When he first arrived, he was scared, traumatized and confused. Benji has been in our care for about two month, and we have taken the time to help him get out of his shell. He is still very scared of humans, often threatened by touch or movement. We are hoping someone with experience, love, tenderness and patience can take him and help him. We have come to love Benji, and you will see that underneath his rough surface is a boy who desires love and affection. We have a cat and he seems very curious about him, so we think he might do well with other cats with proper introduction. Children and loud noises scare him. But with proper introduction we know he will blossom in any home. Benji is waiting for you, and he can’t wait to meet you ❤️

Story

She was found under a bush as a kitten. we've had her for about a little over a year now. She gets along with some of our other cats and not with a a few others. But the ones that don't like her beat her up often. She's sweet but timid and takes a long time to warm up to humans.
