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.

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
Goldaline has been visiting us for months, eventually he decided he wanted to come inside and become part of the family. Unfortunately, he does not get along with our existing cat Cecilia. He is very loving with a loud purr and big personality. We suspect he has single kitten syndrome because of his behavioral issues, he will need a kind and experienced new owner.

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
Paris is a nice cat. She doesn’t do well with change. She loves to eat and is very much on a schedule. I think she would do well with someone who can devote a lot of time to her. She doesn’t like being left alone for long periods.
