Meet Lolo — A Gentle Globe-Trotter Looking for Her Forever Home Straight from Kuwait to the Washington, D.C. area, Lolo is a true little world traveler with a heart as soft as her snowy Persian fur. Loved dearly by her previous owner, she made the long journey here after her human fell ill and could no longer care for her — and now she’s ready to write her next chapter with a family who will cherish her just as much. 🐾 About Lolo With her classic Persian features — including that perfect little button nose — Lolo is a show-stopping beauty. But it’s her personality that truly shines: Sweetly Social: She enjoys companionship but at her own gentle pace. Affectionate Heart: Lolo’s soft purrs and biscuit-making sessions are her love language. Calm & Curious: While she’s not super playful yet, she watches the world with thoughtful interest. Gets Along Well: So far, she’s done wonderfully with other cats and is being fostered alongside dogs and small children. Her interactions with them have been limited, but every sign points to her being able to integrate smoothly into a variety of homes. 💖 Who She’s Looking For Lolo would thrive in a loving household that appreciates a gentle companion. She’s not demanding — she simply wants a safe place, kind humans, and space to show her affectionate side at her own pace. She has so much love to give, and she gives it softly. 🏡 Ready to Come Home Lolo is fully vetted and ready to settle in with her forever family.

Sky is the most sweet gentle cat. He loves treats and pets. He gets a little shy around new people but eventually warms up. I just want to find him a home where he can get the attention he deserves. I am a new mom and it’s been really hard to with the new baby.

Story
Meet AmunAmun is a young Persian who made his way from Kuwait to the U.S., and he’s been charming everyone with his big, soulful eyes ever since. He might have a “grumpy” little face, but behind that expression is an affectionate, sweet kitty.Amun is a little shy at first, but once he decides you’re trustworthy, he becomes a head-rubbing purr machine, who likes to check in with his humans for affection.Amun enjoys late-night play sessions and zoomy adventures with his feline buddies. He’s also great with the dogs and friendly with teenagers in his foster home (he just hasn’t met younger kiddos yet).One of his cutest quirks? He’ll quietly sneak around the house, then pop up to stare at you with his huge round eyes. It’s hilarious and adorable every time.If you’re looking for a social little fluffball, Amun might just be your guy. PLEASE READ: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, please apply online at www.catdogfriendrescue.com.

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 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. ##2588572##

Story
Trafil is a handsome young male kitty found roaming the busy streets. A lady out shopping took him home until a rescue could be found. He has that gorgeous charcoal grey coat that is unusual. Trafil is a lovely sweet friendly cat. He was obviously owned at one time. He likes to be petted and brushed. He gets along well with other cats. We would like to see him adopted into a home with another pet so he can play and interact and have fun. He has not been tested on dogs or kids but should be fine. Fostered in Fairfax, VA.

These cats are in Washington, District of Columbia too!

Meet Mr. Sweetie, a breathtaking 1-year-old long-haired black cat whose name couldn’t be more fitting. This boy is pure affection wrapped in silky fur.

He’s wonderfully social, enjoying playtime with other cats, getting along beautifully with dogs, and soaking up every bit of attention the kids offer. Litter box trained, crate trained, and overflowing with personality, he’s the total package: handsome, sweet, playful, confident, and deeply bonded to his people. If you’re searching for a cat who will fill your home with warmth, joy, and all the snuggles you can handle, Mr. Sweetie is your guy. This special boy won’t stay available long!For questions or an adoption application, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.December 4, 2025, 10:49 pm

Story
1 year old Personality: calm, friendly, independent, snuggly Austin is your low-maintenance, loving best friend! He loves to be pet and will hang out with you for as long as you will give him love. Otherwise, he is a super chill dude who enjoys doing his own thing. He will happily snuggle up in his favorite spot for hours and just relax. Austin is not very motivated by food, treats, or toys and is truly just a mellow guy looking for his forever home. Austin is good with other cats and dogs and mostly does not engage with them (although he may open up more once he’s been around them for a while). If an easy-going, independent companion sounds like the perfect addition to your home, apply to adopt Austin today! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.
