Story
Stellaluna is 3 year old (DOB 8/20) shorthaired black female. She needs time to get used to new people, but once she trusts you, she will be your best buddy. Doesn't like to be held much but loves to be pet and will occasionally sleep with you or lay in your lap. She can be a little skittish with loud noises or fast movements, so we think she would do best in older children/no children homes, or even by herself. She does fine with dogs, loves to play with and chase her siblings, especially Chase. All cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, FeLV/FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, and current on revolution. No declawing. Indoor homes only. If pet is still listed, he/she is available so please do not ask if available. If you wish to be considered for adoption, please submit an application at www.rescueangelssomd.com.

Story
Hocus and Pocus are a bonded brother and sister pair. The female torti is short haired and so super sweet and cuddly, doesn't mind being held and played with, and purrs constantly. She is a sweetie. The male medium/long haired black kitten is shy but is also sweet and is learning that being picked up and cuddled is ok and means it's out of love. He's warming up more daily. Both were rescued from outdoor life together. Their mother was trapped and spayed and unfortunately one of their siblings was found deceased. We are glad these two are safe and have a chance at an indoor forever home to be loved! They are about 4 months old (born in June 2024) and are still small and very kitten-y. They seem to like other cats. Foster mom doesn't have dogs or kids so not sure how they are with dogs and kids. They would be great in a multi-cat home and around adults only probably. They are great with only going in the litter box, and are healthy. They are left ear tipped but it was decided they should come into the foster program rather than released back outdoors.

Story
This beauty is Tara. She is about 3 years old, gray tabby and white, shorthaired, and healthy. She is so spunky, loves to chirp and play like a kitten, and is very vocal and curious. She loves to climb her cat tree and find hidden toys. She is also affectionate and could indulge in petting and love for hours. Tara loves kids and is getting more used to dogs, but loves cats. She came from a hoarding situation and we are doing all we can to help her forget about the trauma she experienced. She is doing very well and very ready for her new family to love her.
