Story
🚨 MEET COLEMAN 🚨 7 months | Male | Neutered | Short-Haired Orange Tabby Occupation: Professional Nuisance (in the best way) Do you enjoy peace and quiet? Do you like personal space? Do you prefer a calm, dignified household? ✨ GREAT. KEEP SCROLLING. ✨ Because Coleman did not wake up and choose subtlety. 🧡 The Orange Boy Energy Is STRONG Coleman is what happens when you mix: • One (1) orange brain cell • Unlimited enthusiasm • A dash of chaos • And the overwhelming need to be involved in literally everything you do He is affectionate, athletic, curious, goofy, snuggly, and EXTREMELY COMMUNICATIVE. And by communicative, we mean… This boy. Does. Not. Stop. Talking. 🎭 Signature Coleman Behavior Ignored him for 3 seconds? Cool cool cool. He will: ✔️ Meow loudly ✔️ Throw himself dramatically on the floor ✔️ Roll around in despair ✔️ Pout like his tiny orange life is ruined All because you had the audacity to… exist without petting him. The drama. The commitment. The PERFORMANCE. 10/10. No notes. 🍽 Fueling the Chaos Coleman runs best on: • Fancy Feast Chicken in Gravy • Purina ONE Kitten Dry (Chicken) • Your attention (primary power source) Favorite toys: crinkle balls and mice (he will hunt them with great enthusiasm and questionable strategy). 🛏 Sleep Habits (LOL) Technically he can sleep anywhere… Emotionally, he must be where the people are. This man has FOMO and he is not afraid to use it. 🚫 Not a Fan Of: Being alone. Silence. You having free time. 🏡 Coleman’s Dream Home Coleman is not bonded, but let’s be honest — this boy needs a feline buddy to help burn off some of that orange energy. His ideal home includes: ✅ Another playful kitty ✅ Humans who appreciate chaos ✅ People who will talk back when he yells ✅ Someone prepared to be supervised at all times ✨ Final Warning ✨ If you adopt Coleman, you will receive: 🧡 A full-time shadow 🧡 A dramatic floor-flopper 🧡 A certified chatterbox 🧡 A ridiculously lovable orange menace Coleman is not for the faint of heart… …but if you want daily laughs, constant companionship, and premium orange-boy entertainment? Yeah. He’s your guy. 🍊🐾

Story
Meet Hanson 🐾💛 ~5 years old | Male | Large Grey Tabby | Big Head, Bigger Heart Hanson’s past is a bit of a mystery — we don’t know how long he lived outdoors or what he experienced before rescue. What we do know is this: this is where his real story begins. Last year, Hanson was trapped by our executive director, neutered, and released back outside. But Hanson had other plans. Over the following months, he kept returning for meals… and more importantly, for connection. Little by little, trust was built, and Hanson made it clear that outdoor life just wasn’t for him anymore. He chose comfort. He chose safety. He chose love. 🤍 Personality & Quirks Hanson is a big, sweet boy who adores back scratches and will happily lean into your hand for affection. He does hiss — but don’t let that fool you. Hissing is simply Hanson’s way of communicating, not a sign of aggression. He may hiss… and then immediately push his head into your hand for more pets. It’s all part of his charm. Hanson will need a patient, understanding adopter who will let him move at his own pace and continue to come out of his shell on his timeline. Once you earn his trust, he is incredibly loving. 🍽 The Way to Hanson’s Heart (and Belly) Let’s be honest — Hanson loves to eat. Dry food: Purina ONE Chicken Wet food: Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers (Chicken) Treat of choice: Churus — the ultimate peace offering He isn’t picky at all, especially when wet food is involved. If food is present, Hanson is interested. 💛 The Home He Deserves Hanson deserves a forever home where he never has to worry about survival again — no more fending for himself, no more searching for food, no more uncertainty. Just warm beds. Full bowls. Gentle hands. And someone who understands that love sometimes takes time. This big-headed, soft-hearted boy is ready for his happily ever after — safely indoors, exactly where he belongs. If you’re the kind of person who believes the best bonds are built with patience and trust, Hanson just might be your perfect match. 🐾💛

Story
Introducing Crimson and Clover! Born in July of last year, these two sweet young ladies have outgrown the kitten crazies but kept all the cuteness and charm! 🐾 Clover — the brown tabby — is the confident leader of the duo. With her compact face and curious eyes, she’s got total munchkin vibes and isn’t afraid to take charge. 🐾 Crimson — the calico beauty — is her softer, quieter sidekick who follows Clover’s lead and adds a touch of calm to every room. Together, they’re the perfect balance of brave and bashful, playful and peaceful — and they adore each other. 💕 These “sisters from another mother” would love a quiet home where they can blossom and share their love with their humans. If you’re looking for double the purrs and double the heart, Crimson & Clover are your girls! 😻 Fill out a no obligation cat adoption application at https://humaneloudoun.org/adopt/cat-adoption-application/
