Story
Blaze is a very sweet torti with a striking stripe of orange down her nose. She is very gentle and loves all other kitties. Can you offer this precious girl a forever home? * With an approved application we transport to either Leesburg, VA or Germantown, MD. Our kitties are: Spayed/neutered (or provided a spay/neuter voucher for kittens too small for surgery), tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids, up-to-date on vaccines (rabies vaccine when age appropriate and distemper series), treated for parasites, and have microchips. Tiny kittens go in pairs unless there's a companion animal already in the household. Our adoption fees are low. Most are $150 although some very desirable kitties may be more. For a pair, we reduce the adoption fee slightly.November 17, 2025, 11:46 am

Story
Reese will be one year old in March 2026. We got him from the shelter when he was a few months old—just couldn’t say no to his sweet face and sociable self—but once our landlord found out we had two cats 🙈 we were told we could only have one, so we are keeping our old boy. 😿 He will come with a little bit of dry food and some cans of wet food to get you started, a bed, a litter box with lid and shovel, plus a carrier and some toys.

Story
Lillian is looking for a new person or family to give her a happy home! The basics are: female, 12 years old, 11 pounds, overall healthy but takes regular thyroid med and rx food, spayed and chipped. She would do best as the only cat and no small kids, but probably ok with dogs that would leave her alone. She has fear and anxiety, so she will be super slow to warm up to a new family and go through that transition. It is critical that her adopter is someone who really understands cat behavior in that way and would respect her needs. In her current home though, she is cuddly and so loving and sweet! We know she will have lots of love to give to someone who is ready to be patient with her process.

Story
Phil is a spunky 13lb/12yr guy looking for a family that will give him space to be himself. He is a litter box pro, very food motivated, agile, and vocal. He will tell you when it’s feeding time - just in case you forgot. He loves when his people play with him with ping pong balls, toy mice, and the rings from a gallon milk jug. He craves adventure, like when you move a piece of furniture to another position, or give him access to a window so he can make noises at the birds. He’s got a few years under his belt already, but he still has plenty more counters to surf, midday naps to take, and cat trees to scale. Phil is comfortable with what he knows, and he is very wary of new people. He will show his fear with some hissing and swatting if his space is not respected. When transitioning to a new home and family, he will need time, space, and patience while he learns that he is safe and cared for. He would benefit immensely from intentional enrichment, including supervised outside time.

Story
Little Chaos came to us with a bundle of little kittens. She was a wonderful mom and all her precious little ones went to homes. Now, Chaos is ready for her forever home. She has a wonderful personality and is an all around great kitty but is not very tolerant of other cats given her need to fiercely protect her babies in the environment she came from. She may accept another cat in the household but we suggest she will be best as an only cat. Can you love this sweet and loving girl? * With an approved application we transport to either Leesburg, VA or Germantown, MD. Our kitties are: Spayed/neutered (or provided a spay/neuter voucher for kittens too small for surgery), tested for Feline Leukemia and Feline Aids, up-to-date on vaccines (rabies vaccine when age appropriate and distemper series), treated for parasites, and have microchips.
