Himalayan kittens & cats in Arlington, Virginia

Meet our beautiful senior Himalayan, a sweet 13-year-old female looking for a quiet, loving forever home.She was originally adopted as a kitten from a reputable breeder by a family member. When that family member moved away, she was lovingly entrusted to my mother, who has cared for and cherished her ever since. She has spent nearly her entire life in one stable, loving home.She is a small, indoor cat with a calm, gentle, and independent personality. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels safe and comfortable, she enjoys relaxing in her favorite spots and quietly keeping you company. She is litter box trained and has no known diagnosed medical conditions. Like many senior cats, she has some age-related stiffness, but she continues to enjoy a peaceful indoor lifestyle.We are looking for a patient adopter who understands that senior cats may take a little time to adjust to a new environment. She would thrive in a quiet home with someone who appreciates peace.

This gorgeous 3-year-old Himalayan beauty is named for her stunning, sparkling eyes that are sure to steal your heart. Jewel may initially come across as a bit of a grumpy old lady, but beneath that serious expression is a cat who absolutely loves attention, pets, and being close to her people. Jewel adores being brushed, enjoys soaking up affection, and would happily spend her evenings curled up beside you. In fact, one of her favorite things is sleeping with her foster and keeping her favorite human company. While she tolerates other cats, Jewel can be easily intimidated by more outgoing felines and prefers companions who respect her space. She would thrive as an only cat or in a home with calm, respectful cats who won’t invade her personal bubble. Jewel does have food allergies, and her foster has worked diligently to find a diet that keeps her comfortable. After much trial and error, we’ve discovered that she does wonderfully on a homemade bison-based diet. When fed other foods, she becomes very itchy and can scratch herself raw, so her future family will need to be committed to maintaining her special diet. Jewel is spayed, vaccinated, negative for FelV/FIV, and microchipped. She’s ready to find a home where she can be cherished, pampered, brushed regularly, and loved for the beautiful, affectionate girl she truly is. The adoption fee for this cat is $500.

HOW THIS ANIMAL IS WITH: CATS: Fine with cats but happy as a single left alone DOGS: No dogs KIDS: No small kids KNOWN LIKES: Head scratches and Churu lickable treats KNOWN DISLIKES: Chaos, loud noises, handled too much ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: 🤎 Emily — A Graceful Senior Seeking Peace, Comfort, and a Soft Place to Land Meet Emily, a beautiful senior Himalayan mix whose life was suddenly turned upside down. When her beloved human passed away, Emily — along with many other cats — found herself without a home at a time when she should have been safe, settled, and cherished. To keep her out of the shelter, she came into foster care, where we’ve gotten to know this quiet, dignified girl. At 17 years old, Emily is an easygoing companion who asks for very little but gives gentle affection in return. She enjoys soft head scratches, cozy naps in sunny spots, and curling up in her covered cat bed where she feels secure. She’s perfectly content as a single cat in a calm home, but she’s also used to living with other cats and can coexist peacefully as long as they respect her space. Emily’s favorite indulgence? Churu lickable treats — she lights up for them every time. This sweet senior has weathered a lot of change, and she deserves a home where she can finally relax, feel safe, and be loved for the rest of her golden years. If you can offer Emily a quiet, comforting home and a warm heart, she’s ready to share her gentle love with you.

Warda is an adorable young Himalayan kitten we are pleased to have with us. She was purchased as a kitten from a filthy pet store. Warda came to us in poor health mostly from neglect. We have treated her and she is now a healthy active girl. She loves human attention. Enjoys being carried and doted on. Plays beautifully with her fellow foster friends. We would like Warda to go to a home with another cat for companionship. Also we prefer the home has experience with long haired cats due to the grooming needs. Fostered in Fairfax, VA

Kiara is a stunning adult pure bred Himalayan girl we just love. She was probably bought from a breeder as a kitten and the family just abandoned her. This sadly is what happens where she came from. Kiara is stunning. She has that thick, long beautiful brown coat of a Himalayan. She came to us dirty and underweight but through good food she has blossomed When she first arrived she ate so fast like it was her last meal. She is extremely outgoing and friendly. Loves people attention. Enjoys petting and brushing. Does great with other cats. Should be fine with children and dogs. We want Kiara to go to a home experienced with Persians and/or Himalayans. They require daily grooming. Fostered in Fairfax, VA

PLEASE READ: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, please apply online at www.catdogfriendrescue.com. Please do NOT call or send inquiries via Adopt A Pet or PetFinder as we are a small rescue and cannot handle a large influx of inquiries and phone calls. You can email us at acatsfriendinc@gmail.com if you have questions, but if you would like to be considered for adoption, you must fill out an application. Please note if you are applying for a kitten under six months of age, you must have another friendly kitty in the home or adopt another kitten. Additionally, unless otherwise indicted that this animal is a purebred, all of our animals are rescues and the "breed" selection is a best guess based on their apperance as we have no way of knowing their specific breeds.  Out of state adoptions (outside Virginia/DC/Maryland) do require three years of excellent past or current veterinary references. We look forward to hearing from you!  Adoption Fee includes spay/neuter and microchip insertion.  Please note, unless otherwise stated, these are not pedigree animals and we have no way of attesting if any of them are hypoallergenic and as such cannot adopt to homes with allergies. ##2762840##
