Duke is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Meet Duke – The Lion-Hearted Acrobat with Bunny Ears 🦁🐰 Duke may be small, but don’t tell him that—he’s convinced he’s a mighty lion! He’ll roar (okay, meow) with fierce determination, only to melt your heart moments later with the gentlest little lick to your hand or foot. It’s all part of his master plan to get your attention—and it works every time. This daring kitten is also an aspiring trampoline artist, leaping sky-high for any toy you wave above him. He’s got moves, charm, and those irresistible bunny ears that make him the perfect springtime sweetheart. Bold, bouncy, and full of affection, Duke is ready to pounce his way right into your heart. ATTRIBUTES: Duke has done well with other cats. —------------- Laila’s Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any cat is housebroken.

Dapper is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Meet Dapper – The Softest Soul in a Bunny Suit 🐰🐾 With the heart of a lamb and the ears of a bunny, Dapper is as charming as his name suggests. This gentle little guy loves being held close and cuddled, melting into your arms like he was made for snuggles. While he enjoys playtime with kittens and humans alike, Dapper is a thoughtful observer – he’ll watch from the sidelines at first, making sure everything feels safe before hopping into the fun. He’s the perfect mix of sweet and shy, with a calm presence that brings a little peace wherever he goes. And did we mention his adorable bunny ears? One look and you’ll be smitten. If you're looking for a tender-hearted companion with a cautious charm and cuddly spirit, Dapper is ready to hop into your heart. ATTRIBUTES: Dapper has done well with other cats. —------------- Laila’s Legacy Animal Rescue does not guarantee that any cat is housebroken.

Story
Domino is looking for their forever home! WHAT MY FOSTER SAYS: Domino is an absolute sweetheart. She’s a little shy with new people, but her curiosity wins out—especially when her brother, Dune, is by her side. She’ll stick close to your side like a shadow, she just wants you to know she’s always there if you need her (or have a treat you want to drop). Winning her heart is a slow burn, but with some tasty treats and a little patience, she’ll be snuggling for sleepytime cuddles and nudging your hand for head pats in no time. Domino is not bothered by other cats, she’s okay to let them go on their way and knows boundaries. She’s absolutely obsessed with her brother Dune though, they’re best friends for life. She can be a bit skittish around dogs. If you’re looking for a cat who’ll trade affection and snuggles for lots of treats, attention, and patience, Domino is your girl. Apply for her today!

Eli is a stunningly handsome British Shorthair young man. Look at his unusual smokey coat. Eli is a wonderful cat. Besides being handsome he has a super personality to go along with it. He is very outgoing and loving. Wants attention and loves being petted. We would like to see him go with another cat to play with. Not tested on young children or dogs but we suspect he will be fine.

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. ##2369589##

Bette Boo is my mom’s cat. She is a very lovely, sweet talkative cat that needs a home. Very affectionate and easy going. Very healthy and 11 years old. She would be wonderful for anyone. My Pops passed away very recently and we want my mom to live with us. We have several dogs and two are not cat friendly. Mom really wants Bette Boo to go to a loving home.

Story
Female, Spayed 5 years old Medium Hair Tuxedo Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines Meet Honey! After realizing that she didn't like sharing her humans with other cats, Lovepaws took in this sweet girl to help find her a wonderful and loving furrever home. She would love to be your one and only! She enjoys daily belly dancing and loves to hear how beautiful she is. She craves human company (except when she wants to be alone). Honey is as sweet as her name, keeps her claws to herself, and rubs up against hands, legs, arms, computers, furniture - all of it! As an advocate of work-life balance, she will very gently (but insistently) tap on your arm if you pay too much attention to your phone. Honey loves to play with string toys, lasers, and little toys she can chase. Her day usually starts with a drink at her water fountain before gently pawing her foster parents awake. Before breakfast, she shows off her belly, collects some head scratches, and rubs herself against everyone and anything. Zooooooommmming up and down the stairs, climbing the cat condo, and chasing toy mice complete her pre-breakfast workout. Honey loves watching the outside through her favorite window and finding a comfy place to nap. This girl needs you to follow her lead and take the time to get to know her. But her foster parents say her trust is worth the wait!   Interested in adopting? Of course you are! Submit an application here!    May 10, 2025, 1:09 pm
