Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Maryland

Jinxy is a 16-year-old beauty described by her current owner as a gentle, affectionate “all around great cat.” The family’s circumstances have changed, and this sweet senior girl needs to find a new home as soon as possible. Jinxy loves getting scritches on the head, sharing cuddles (on her terms), and occasionally sleeping on the pillow next to her person. Though she does love affection from her people, she also has an independent side. Don’t let her age fool you! Jinxy still occasionally brings out her inner kitten and bats around twist ties and bottle caps on the floor. :-) Jinxy will tolerate respectful dogs and cats and will let them sniff her when they approach non-aggressively. She is not a fan of fast-moving people and will run away if scared. This mellow girl has good litter box habits. She is spayed and up to date on her shots. She has hyperthyroidism, not unusual in senior cats, and takes daily medication to keep her thyroid levels balanced. Jinxy is looking for a soft place to land and live out her golden years. Do you have a peaceful, cat-friendly home and a little extra love to give? If so, this may be the girl for you. We (FFOCAS) are helping Jinxy's family safely rehome her. Please get in touch via email (ffocasrea@gmail.com) or through Adoptapet. We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved – especially Jinxy.

Sweet Kitty Kitty is looking for her forever home! This absolutely gorgeous girl -- check the smolder! -- has been, for a couple of years, a neighborhood cat -- you know, the kind of fine feline whose history is unknown, who got caught up in a TNR program at one point (ear tipped!), and then found her way to the people in the neighborhood who care about all the creatures. Kind people started putting out a little kibble here, a bowl of fresh water there, maybe even ... a fancy heated cat house for winter. :-) This talkative, friendly girl has overcome a lot, including an injury that required 12 weeks of crate rest. But she's just about done with her recovery and is feeling great, so the people who've been helping her feel it's time for her to find a home of her own where she will finally be pampered as she deserves. We (FFOCAS) are helping Kitty Kitty's caretakers rehome her safely. Interested? Please reach out via email (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) or through Adoptapet. We will ask you to fill out a rehoming application so we can do our best to keep this process safe and be sure it's a good match.

Meet Gigi! This sweet and spirited 4-year-old tabby is ready to find her forever home! Originally rescued as a kitten, Gigi has spent her first 4 years being loved and cared for — and now she’s looking for a new family to give her the same affection she’s always known. This beautiful girl is a perfect mix of shy and playful. She may be a little reserved at first, but once she feels safe, her loving personality shines. Gigi loves boxes, bags, and any toy she can bat around — she’s an energetic little lady who enjoys playtime and cozy naps alike. Gigi has done great with kids! She is currently living with two energetic Corgis who find cat chasing fun. :-( So she is looking for a home without dogs. She has lived with two other cats -- one was friendly and the other did not like her. Because she can be shy around loud noises and unfamiliar people, she’ll appreciate a patient adopter who can give her time to adjust and feel secure. Gigi is about 4 years old and weighs around 10 lbs. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She's always done great with the litter box except when the dogs have scared her away from the litter box -- and we can't blame her for that! If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and affectionate feline friend who will blossom in a peaceful home, Gigi might be your girl! Gigi is losing her home because a new human family member is allergic to kitties. Her two housemate cats have found their forever homes -- now it's Gigi's turn! If you're interested in Gigi, please email us at ffocaslindsey@gmail.com or contact us through Adoptapet. We'll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved -- especially Gigi!

Meet Ravioli! Ravioli is a nearly 3-year-old sweetheart who didn’t have the easiest start. After being dropped off at a shelter by his previous owner, he was scared and confused, spending his days huddled in the back of his cage. When he arrived in his foster home, he hid for a while and was unsure of what to expect. But with consistent love, patience, and gentle attention from his foster mom, Ravioli has truly come out of his shell. Now he runs to greet her, happily soaks up pets, and shows just how loving and tender he really is. He gets along beautifully with other cats and seems to gain confidence from having a feline friend nearby. Because of his sensitive nature, Ravioli would do best in a home with a patient adopter who understands that he may need a little time to adjust. He would especially thrive with a confident cat companion to help guide him. If you're looking for a sweet, gentle kitty who just needs someone to believe in him, Ravioli is ready to repay that kindness with love.
