Story
Angel is a female, gray kitten who was rescued behind a church. She, her mama (Serenity the Siamese cat), and her siblings were in a dangerous spot with lots of car traffic. Angel and her siblings were a bit stubborn when it came time for rescue, making our volunteers work for two weeks to catch the entire litter. Now that she's adjusted to indoor life, she quite enjoys it! Angel would do well in a home with another cat, whether it's one of her siblings or your resident cat!

Story
Sk8r Girl was raising her kittens in the backyard of a community member who loves skateboarding, and her kittens were finding refuge in a torn down half-pipe. Her instincts to protect her kittens were fierce; she made sure they were eating well—even if that meant she went without. Sk8r is a kitten herself, estimated to be only 7 months old. She’s playful and curious, enjoying wand toys and pretending to hunt. Despite a tough start to life, she’s a softie who likes to cuddle! She’s hoping to spend her first holiday season in her forever home.

Story
Lavender Latte is a handsome, loving male kitten who would like a permanent spot in your lap. He's named for his calming presence. When a volunteer spotted him, he was lethargic and had one eye closed. This poor guy was covered in fleas, with a belly full of worms. His upper respiratory infection was so bad he was sneezing blood. He's had a long journey for healing his eye, but the vet believes it can be saved. Lavender is a progressive FeLV+ kitten, but he doesn't let that keep him down. Since rescue, he has perked up tremendously and loves to reach his paw out for human affection. He plays very well (and cuddles adorably) with his bestie Persimmon Pie.

Story
Uno is a playful, curious, and happy-go-lucky girl that is sort of clumsy and socially awkward with her cat friends. She likes playing with other cats and toys and seems like the “class clown” with her antics. She likes people and will come around for pets but all she wants to do is to play. Uno thinks everything is a toy. She likes cuddling with people, playing with teaser toys and sleeping in big cats beds on the floor. Uno is from Kuwait, where she was found crying under a car in a parking garage at barely 4 weeks old. A video of Uno's history is attached to her profile. She uses the litterbox like a champ, keeps herself groomed well and eats both wet and dry food. Uno has been microchipped, spayed, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and given rabies and distemper vaccines.

Story
Luna Moon is part of a bonded pair with her sister Autumn. They must be adopted together. Luna Moon, like her foster sister Autumn, likes to be where the action is in the house. She often just rolls over to attract attention (it works!), loves to sit on laps or nap on blankets, and politely asks for playtime. Luna has been trained to join the foster family at dinner sitting on a bar stool! Back story-she kept trying to get on the dinner table at dinner, but then her foster family was persistent in giving her another appropriate option since she just wanted to be with the family. Luna loves to play with her foster sister Autumn, playing with laser toys (daily, please!), wand toys, the ball tracker, shadows on the wall, and toy mice (you could say she's easily entertained!). She gets along with other cats, and good with older kids (she seems likely to be OK with dogs, but not known for sure). Luna just wants to be everyone's friend! She is one special and sweet girl who just needs a chance! Luna Moon's estimated birthdate is October 2021. She is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia. ******* Please note: 4Paws will only consider local adoptions (Northern VA / DC / MD metropolitan area) 4Paws does not adopt to students All kittens under 6mos of age must be adopted into a home that already has another young cat/kitten; otherwise, must be adopted in pairs with a littermate

He is neutered and current on his vaccines and tested negative for FiV/FeLV. He is micro chipped. Sandy is on prescription food to prevent urinary blockage.

Story
Aren't I a pretty lady? It's not just me that thinks so, I get told all the time. It gives me a lot of confidence when I deal with strangers. Please ask first before petting me. I like a little warning before my space is invaded. Sometimes I am just not in the mood, but a lot of the time I enjoy a good head scratch. I am approximately 3 years old. When I was found outside I was pregnant and almost ready to give birth. A nice lady took me inside so that my babies weren't born in a gutter. I was a great mom, but the hormones and constantly being touched, bitten, and grabbed at by the kittens made me crazy! I raised four healthy kittens but thank goodness that will never happen again! I am spayed now and up to date on my vaccines. I also tested negative for FIV and Feline Leukemia (if you are interested). I learned one thing for certain-- I am not mother-material. All those mewing, crying little rug rats-not for me! Give me a warm afternoon, a big window, peace and quiet, and a good meal (I love to eat fancy feast) and I am happy as a clam. I have been a little lonely lately. I have a room all to myself-don't like other cats-- but lately I've been bored. My foster mom works a lot of hours and can't spend much quality time with me. That is why I am writing this note. I am looking for a new home with one or two adult humans. I have no patience for kids-- human or feline. The humans should have lives of their own and not expect me to be their sole source of entertainment, but they should have time during the day to sit with me. If you mind your manners I would be happy to spend the afternoon with you. Sometimes my foster mom and I take a nap together. I like to talk, especially when it's time to be fed-- I will give you a beautiful melody of chirping. I have good litter box manners (of course, I am a lady after all). I only eat wet food-- Fancy feast classic. Dry food makes me gain weight. Now that I have lost the pregnancy weight, I don't want to ever go through the ordeal of dieting again! Now you know a little about me, tell me about yourself. Can you give me the new home I am looking for? Please note: 4Paws will only consider local adoptions (Northern VA / DC / MD metropolitan area). 4Paws does not adopt to students. All kittens under 6mos of age must be adopted into a home that already has another young cat/kitten; otherwise, must be adopted in pairs with a littermate. **************************************** Please e-mail us if you're interested in Francesca.

Story
Geisha was left behind by her prior owners when they moved out of an apartment complex in Oxon Hill MD. She struggled to survive on her own until neighbors got help to rescue her. Geisha is a very sweet and affectionate kitty that loves human attention and can be very vocal about it. She purrs happily when petted and likes to snuggled right by her Person's side to chill and watch TV. But she will also chase a wand toy like nobody's business! Geisha does not like to compete with other cats for her Person's attention, so she needs to be the only kitty in the home. She is not good with small children but should be OK with older children. Geisha was born about August 2022. She is spayed, current on vaccines, tested negative for FiV/FeLV, and has been micro chipped.

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gracie is a healthy, affectionate indoor cat who brings a sense of calm and comfort to any home. She has a very gentle, soothing presence and loves to quietly follow her person from room to room, always nearby but never demanding. She especially enjoys lying near your feet and relaxing by your side, happy just to be close and share quiet time together. Gracie is not an adventurous outdoor cat; she strongly prefers being indoors and is very well‑suited to a relaxed, low‑stress household. Adopted from a shelter in 2018, Gracie has been a deeply loving and comforting companion for many years, offering emotional warmth and steady companionship. She would be an ideal match for someone looking for a calm, affectionate friend who appreciates soft voices, gentle attention, and peaceful routines The only reason she needs a new home is that an elderly family member with severe cat allergies has recently moved in, and despite medications and air purifiers, the symptoms have not improved.

Story
Just as the moon was full in the sky, there was a clanging sound: the trap had been triggered. Upon inspection, the trapper was shocked; instead of the intended stray dog, she had caught a pretty little kitty with chicken McNuggets. For obvious reasons, the gray-and-white bicolor cutie was named Moonie McNugget and was sent for spay and vaccinations. Although she was a bit shy, Moonie seemed to be friendly. With ample time for decompression, Moonie McNugget has come out of her shell, seeking out pets and hanging out with the resident cats in her foster home. Moonie could be the center of your universe or join a home with friendly cats--as long as you're willing to give her time to get comfortable. Then, she might even agree to lounge in your shirt pocket!
