Story
Meet Killua, a 3-month-old gray (blue) Domestic Shorthair kitten with a calm, affectionate presence and a heart full of love. Killua is exceptionally people-oriented and shows his affection by enthusiastically making biscuits for anyone willing to offer attention or cuddles. He is a heavy sleeper who can nap just about anywhere, happily lounging in cozy corners or stretching out in the middle of daily life. Gentle and easygoing, Killua balances his love of rest with a genuine enjoyment of playtime, especially when shared with other cats. He has been bonded with his sister and littermate since birth and would thrive in a multi-cat household where companionship and interactive play are part of the routine. Killua is fully up to date on vaccinations and is ready to settle into a home that values affection, patience, and plenty of shared downtime.

Story
Meet Kanary, a 3-month-old Domestic Shorthair kitten with a thoughtful, inquisitive spirit and a quietly charming presence. Slightly more reserved than her brother, Kanary approaches the world with curiosity and intention, carefully observing before jumping in. She is an avid climber and can often be found seeking out the highest point in the room, surveying her surroundings or watching her people with wide-eyed fascination. While she enjoys her independence, Kanary is still very fond of her daily routines—especially mealtimes, long naps, and extended, energy-burning play sessions that leave her happily worn out. She has been raised alongside her brother and littermate, Killua, since birth and would do well in a home that appreciates a kitten who balances exploration with rest. Kanary is up to date on vaccinations and would thrive with patience, enrichment, and steady affection.

Story
HOW I CAME TO PGSPCA My mom brought me and my brothers to a place that had all sorts of plants and cozy spots, but also a lot of people around. The people at the garden center made sure that we had plenty to eat and fresh water to drink until another nice lady took us all inside while we look for our furever homes! DREAM HOME I need to be in a home with other kitty friends. I don't necessarily need to be adopted with one of my brothers, but I'll thrive best with other feline companionship. My Profile Age: 10 months (as of February 2024) Good with kids: good with kids over 10 years old. Good with dogs: haven’t met dogs yet. Good with other cats: Yes Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: Yes Meet Me If you are interested in Nash, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application at pgspca.org. Please consult our Adoption FAQ before contacting us. Please check the adoption-show-attendees page to see if Nash will be attending the next adoption show. NOTE: We are an all volunteer group and do not operate a shelter. All of our animals are in foster homes. We are unable to place our animals outside of the Baltimore/DC area.

Story
Aslan was rescued when he showed up with 3 racoons for dinner one day in late December. He’s a timid but super affectionate 5-year-old neutered male, up to date on all shots and combo tested negative. He loves being petted once he gets to know you, but is not been much for lap surfing or playing with toys. He is very chill and sweet with our two resident cats, and is food driven. He’s a very calm soul that loves to sun and hasn’t jumped the baby gate that divides his little room from the rest of the house. He likes treats of bacon and tuna juice and would thrive in a calm household with no young kids. Since he’s been inside, he has licked a lot of fur from his body. We’ve ruled out bugs, and the vet thinks it’s more likely anxiety or allergies and that he might have been abused previously. Please consider giving sweet Aslan a chance to win your heart. My Profile Age: 5 years old Good with kids: Unsure Good with dogs: unsure Good with other cats: Yes Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: Yes Activity level: pretty laid-back. Meet Me To meet Aslan, please send a note to his foster, at miller.sarag@gmail.com
