Story
Meet Washington! She was first rescued back in 2024 at around 7 months old and originally thought to be a simple TNR case, but after her spay appointment, she surprised everyone by showing just how friendly she truly was. Given the chance, Washington blossomed in her foster home, coming out of her shell and learning to trust, love, and enjoy the comforts of indoor life. Unfortunately, she was recently surrendered back to us through no fault of her own. One of the resident cats was aggressive and bullying her, making it impossible for her to feel safe. Despite that, we know Washington can thrive with the right feline companion, she previously lived with a gentle, loving cat friend and did wonderfully. Or she is happy to be a solo queen (she is currently solo in her foster home). Now around 3 years old, Washington is a stunning long-haired beauty with a soft, soulful presence. She’s the kind of cat who bonds deeply, just at her own pace. In a calm, patient home, she will truly shine. She loves gentle pets and affection, curling up on the bed with you, tasty treats (her love language!), having her gorgeous long coat brushed, and, once she fully trusts you… cozy lap time. Washington would do best in a peaceful home with a friendly, cuddly cat companion or as a solo kitty with a patient adopter who understands that love like hers is worth the wait. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion and are willing to let her come to you in her own time, Washington might just be your perfect match.

Story
What my friends at ACC say about me:I have lived with cats in my previous home.I have lived with cats at ACC and I'm doing well with them in the Free Roaming Room, so I would likely do well in a multi-cat home.Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!I have been known to shower my favorite people in love!I am looking for a home with a patient person.I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you.I would do best in a home with only adult humans.I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some feline body language together!I'll need daily interaction with you as I get used to my new life.Matcha is an adult cat that may not have had many interactions with humans from an early age. She is she is sensitive to her environment and may be initially apprehensive of people and while showing no aggressive behaviors, she appears wary of human contact until she is able to build some trust with her people. She responds well to high value treats and food to help build a positive association. Please be mindful that older cats will require more time and skill in order for them to be comfortable around people and new environments. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home. Primary Color: Muted Tortoiseshell Weight: 8.1 Age: 3yrs 0mths 2wks
