Story
This precious, 2-year-old kitty is a sweet as can be, and loves  pets and will give tiny little meows to narrate the experience. Sadie's favorite game is to try to catch thrown treats with her paws! She loves playing with a wand toy, and she can jump high up and do somersaults to catch mouse toys and is very proud of herself afterwards. Sadie would do best in a quiet home with no other pets. She can be a little suspicious of new people at first, but warms up quickly! Do you have the right place in your heart for this deserving darling? She will repay you with her big heart! Sadie is up to date on her vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and has tested negative for FIV/FELV. Due to severe dental disease that she had prior to being rescued, she has had most of her teeth removed - but don't worry she still eats everything! Her mouth is healed and she is perfectly healthy and happy. If you would like to learn more about Sadie, contact Heather at cat-coordinator@paw-rescue.org. The first step in our adoption process is to complete PAW’s Cat Adoption Application. PAW’s Cat Adoption Application can be accessed by following this link: http://www.paw-rescue.org/adopt or by using the ‘Adopt’ shortcut found on this cat's profile page on PAW’s website: www.paw-rescue.org ##914360##

Story
*****COURTESY POST******* Garfield, a 7 year old, 16 lb., tabby cat is the perfect companion for someone that just wants a cat to hang out with it. Garfield is middle-aged and isn't so interested in all that crazy playing anymore! He is incredibly sweet and affectionate and gets along with his current people's dog. He loves when his people pet him, especially while he's enjoying his favorite pastime...watching TV! Garfield's people can no longer care for him due to no fault of his own. They are in search of Garfield's new people. Can you provide a loving and caring home for sweet Garfield? If so, contact Irrine at irrinelb@gmail.com or 240-708-3438. ##1824569##

Story
Hey, I'm told that deux means two in French. Well, that's well and good, but I can tell you that I'm really a number one kitten! I was rescued along with some litter mates by a kind person who took care of us until we were ready to spread our wings (or at least to prance on our paws). Now I'm old enough to have a forever home of my very own and I'm hoping for just that. So, here I am in case you're looking for a very cute Tortie (they tell me that's what pretty tortoise shell cats are called) who is a real social butterfly and ready to be a great addition to your home. In return for that home, I can promise you many years of fun and friendship. So, how about it!If you're ready to adopt within the next 24 hours, click the link below to schedule an adoption appointment or visit us during our walk-in hours Tues-Sun 12-6 pm (priority will be given to those with an appointment). *Please note: scheduling an appointment and/or clicking on the pink button and completing the adoption inquiry will not place an animal on hold, you MUST meet the animal in order to place an adoption hold. * Visit here to book your adoption appointment: https://app.waitwhile.com/book/onsitehumanerescueal For more information about our adoption process, visit https://www.humanerescuealliance.org/how-to-adopt or email adopt@humanerescuealliance.org

Story
Parfait was wandering the streets of DC, lost and alone. A kind person found her and brought her to the shelter. Parfait is getting the love and meals she deserves and needs. She is a bashful little miss who will appreciate folks that will allow her to settle into a home at a gentle pace. She is a lovely kitten. If you're ready to adopt, come to 71 Oglethorpe St NW for an in-person meet and greet Tuesday through Sunday 12 - 7 p.m. Adoptions are served on a first-come, first-served process - we do not place animals on hold. Be sure to bring a leash for your new dog or a carrier for your new cat or small animal. Most animals are ready to go home with you right after you meet them! *Please note: Completing the adoption inquiry will not place an animal on hold, you MUST meet the animal in order to place an adoption hold.

Story
Melo is a very sweet guy! He loves spending time with his owner whether it means cuddles in the bed, watching tv on the couch and if allowed he loves sleeping together at night. He makes the funniest faces like he's a cool mean guy but he's really just as fuzzy and loving as his fur. He loves his snacks/food, being brushed, sunbathing and even loves going outside but needs to be kept in an area outdoors where no harm can be done to him. He's also very talented when it comes to catching things so when you let him outdoors be careful that he doesn't bring you a gift back. He doesn't talk all the time but loves to greet you when you come home and will let you know what he needs he's such a smart guy and so easy to care for. He is a pretty chunky guy but he is healthy and just needs a new home to love him just as much as his mom does. Melo also has a brother so if both could be rehired together that would be best, they have been together their whole lives. Comes with litter/food.

Story
Kobe like his brother melo is a very sweet ball of energy. He loves walking and running around the house and often getting in his brothers nerves but also can be very relaxed and just want to snuggle up. His favorite thing to do is to nudge your face to let you know he's ready for pets and cuddles. He also loves treats and is most vocal when he hears the sound of a bag of treats rattling. Kobe is partially blind but in most cases you wouldn't realize since his vision has been impaired since birth. He gets around really well but you will notice that sometimes his reactions are delayed since he can't see that well. Outside of just some vision issues he's the purrrfect companion to be with and is so easy going. Looking for an owner to adopt melo and Kobe both if possible
