Story
COURTESY POST - contact Charlee purgee08@gmail.com Lovely all Black kitty, fixed, pleasant and affectionate personality, doesn’t nip or bite or scratch, is skittish (all her life), loves quiet, doesn’t meow a lot (whispers a lot when you are talking to her). BeeGee (nickname) is respectful of furniture, has never had a urine or poop accident, is clean and always uses her litter box (please clean out litter daily as she is used to this), mostly uses the scratching posts and pads. Likes to do puzzles (with treats  in them). Likes to snuggle. Can sleep by herself (doesn’t need or want to be in your bed!).  She is trained not to sleep in the same room as her owner.    She eats only wet food (Wellness Turkey pate) and add 1/4 cup of warm water to the food and mix because she doesn’t drink water otherwise. She has no medical issues, is up to date on all shots/vaccines, doesn’t wear any collars (doesn’t like them). Claws need to be trimmed every 5-6 weeks (I took her to Petco). Pet sitters love her bc she is easy to pet sit, being so well behaved.    BeeGee used to live with another cat that terrorized her, but BeeGee remained sweet after the other cat was rehomed (they were together 4 years), and she missed the other cat for a good while, so she may get along with other cat(s) in the future. She’s quiet, passive, loves to be brushed on her cheeks, and loves being brushed regularly with a slicker (she has thicker fur). Once she is comfortable with you, she will like to sit in your lap while you watch tv or something. She has a very happy disposition in general, when she’s not skittish/afraid. She does like to chat if you are talking to her, and she likes to watch you do things in the kitchen, etc, from a safe place.    ##2668156##

Story
Our rescue is based out of Pikesville, Maryland!  We typically do not adopt more than 45 minutes away from Pikesville, so please bear that in mind! Also, if you are viewing this cat on Petfinder, note that ALL of our animals are spayed/neutered despite what it says. Smokey Joe is a super sweet and outgoing little guy who had a rough start in life. He was trapped as part of a TNR project where his caretaker did not appreciate his tomcat antics. Now neutered, Smokey is feeling a lot better, as an extensive amount of matting was removed from him. Due to his long hair, he should be brushed regularly to avoid this recurring.  An adorable and very talkative fluff ball, Smokey also has an old injury to a front foot, which gives him a slight limp. He gets along just fine, however, and it barely hinders him at all.  We think Smokey is only a maximum of two years old. He doesn't hold it against humans that he was failed by them so spectacularly, and is ready to fully-embrace a loving home and start over.   Needs Must Cats will have received full vetting including spay or neuter, FIV/FLV testing, microchip, and treatment for parasites by time of adoption. The adoption fee in the amount below helps us assist more cats and kittens in urgent need. These fees do not even begin to cover our expenses so please consider making an additional donate to support our life-saving efforts! Special Needs or Barn Cat - Donation Adult Cat / Kitten over 6 months - $90 Kitten under 6 months - $150 Pair of Kittens - $275 Please feel free to contact us by email with any questions, or submit your application here: http://www.needsmust.org/adopt February 24, 2026, 9:56 pm

Story
Beautiful, spayed, healthy female cat - looking for a loving home. She is friendly, enjoys laps, and would be happiest if she were the only pet. Right now, we have three cats, and it is one too many for her. She is a sweet girl and very loyal and loving and enjoys receiving attention. She really doesn't like sharing her home with one of our other cats though.
