Grizzly

Domestic Shorthair

Male, 9 yrs 1 mo
FREDERICK, MD

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Aptly named for his ursine-looking face, Grizzly is a friendly, affectionate kitty who loves to hop up on laps for a little lovin'. His other favorite activity is playing with wand toys. 😺 He came from a home with another cat and a small dog, both of which he got along well with. Though we can never make guarantees, this indicates he may do well with another cat or a cat-friendly dog. When Grizzly was relinquished by his previous owner, he had bladder stones (a serious and painful condition), which were dissolved by feeding him a prescription urinary diet. He will need to be on this diet for life to ensure no new stones develop. Grizzly is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and FeLV/FIV negative.

Story
Meet Gracie! This affectionate girl radiates calm and comfort. She has a very gentle, soothing presence and loves to quietly follow her person from room to room, always nearby but never demanding. She especially enjoys lying near your feet and relaxing by your side, happy just to be close and share quiet time together. This gorgeous calico has been a loving companion for many years, offering emotional warmth and steady companionship. She would be an ideal match for a quiet home with someone looking for a kitty who appreciates soft voices, gentle attention, and peaceful routines. Gracie does not have experience living with other cats or dogs, so we are not sure how she would do with a feline or canine companion. Gracie is about 11 years old and weighs around 11 lbs. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has great litter box habits. She is healthy other than a heart murmur, grade 3 of 6, and will be seen by a veterinary cardiologist prior to adoption. This sweet girl is losing her home only because an elderly family member with severe cat allergies has recently moved in. Her devoted, loving family has tried everything to reduce allergy symptoms but, as sometimes happens, nothing is helping. We (FFOCAS) are helping Gracie’s family find her forever home safely. Interested? Please get in touch via email (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) or through adoptapet. We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application so we can keep this process as safe as possible for all involved – especially Gracie!

Looking to add some feline magic to your home? Meet Nutmeg and Frodo, two wonderful cats with big personalities and even bigger hearts.

He’s more of a laid-back observer than a toy chaser — he prefers lounging in cozy spots, following you from room to room, and quietly keeping you company. He’s friendly, gets along with other pets, and loves a good scratching post. He doesn’t enjoy being picked up, but he does enjoy being near his humans. Best fit: A relaxed home that appreciates a chill, affectionate companion who shows love in his own gentle way.

They can be adopted together or separately, so whether you’re looking for one perfect companion or a dynamic duo, these two are ready to meet you! 🧡 Nutmeg — The Spunky Orange Sweetheart Nutmeg is a 6-year-old orange domestic shorthair with the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy cuddles. She’s a little shy at first, but once she warms up she becomes your shadow, your lap warmer, and your chatty little sidekick (especially around mealtime!). She loves toys, paper bags, soft blankets, and snuggling up with her people or furry friends. She gets along well with cats and dogs after a proper introduction and has flawless litter box manners. Best fit: A loving home that enjoys both playtime and cuddle time, and understands she may need a short adjustment period to show her full personality.

Finn

Domestic Mediumhair

Male, 5 yrs 1 mo
FREDERICK, MD

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Handsome, 3-year-old Finn is an outgoing, smart, somewhat impish boy. He greets everyone with his tail straight in the air, enjoys daily training sessions with his foster mom (he can give a high five and go to his mat on cue), and throws himself into playtime with kittenish abandon. But Finn was probably mishandled before being rescued and is still learning that he can trust people not to handle him in ways he finds unpleasant. Because of this, Finn needs a quiet adult-only home with a patient adopter who will take the time and effort to earn his trust. Finn is neutered, vaccinated and FeLV/FIV negative.

Hope

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Hope! This sweet one-year-old kitty truly lives up to her name. Found as a tiny sick, nearly blind kitten, she required a lot of care to get her healthy, and happily she is now thriving and ready for her forever home. Hope may have limited vision but makes up for it with sharp hearing and confidence, and she navigates her world with grace and curiosity, including having impeccable litterbox habits. She’s playful and affectionate and enjoys perching on shoulders like a queen surveying her kingdom. Hope is FIV+, but she loves the company of other animals, including other cats. She would thrive in a home with a cat-friendly dog or a cat who likes other cats. FIV+ cats can live safely with other cats as long as they get along. The virus is not spread by casual contact. Hope is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
