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

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.

Churchill is a sweet boy who likes to play with his toys - especially at night. He is friendly but independent like most Brits. Doesnt like to be picked up or held but will give you a nice little rub to your legs. Good eater and a very healthy cat. No litter issues. Will turn 8 in May. Church came from a reputable breeder in Allentown, PA. If you're so inclined to bring home 2 for one, see my other British Shorthair, Pippa!

Story
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
