Pixiebob kittens & cats in Frederick, Maryland

Aptly named for his ursine-looking face, Grizzly is a friendly, affectionate kitty who loves to hop up on laps for a little lovin'. His other favorite activity is playing with wand toys. 😺 He came from a home with another cat and a small dog, both of which he got along well with. Though we can never make guarantees, this indicates he may do well with another cat or a cat-friendly dog. When Grizzly was relinquished by his previous owner, he had bladder stones (a serious and painful condition), which were dissolved by feeding him a prescription urinary diet. He will need to be on this diet for life to ensure no new stones develop. Grizzly is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and FeLV/FIV negative.

Meet Bilbo Baggins! Bilbo ”baggy” Baggins is a beautiful 8-year-old Orange and White DSH weighing approximately 13 lbs. He is a sweet, affectionate, and easygoing companion. His top qualities are his loving nature, his playful energy, and his friendly habit of scooting around the house to check in on every person. He would thrive in a calm, warm home where he can feel secure, loved, and included in daily family life. Bilbo comes as part of a wonderful duo with his dear companion, Mittens. Ideally, these two bonded friends would be adopted together so they can continue sharing their cozy lives, but finding Bilbo a loving, stable home is the top priority. If the right home becomes available for Bilbo alone, he can be placed sooner rather than waiting indefinitely for a paired adoption. FFOCAS is helping rehome Bilbo and Mittens after their beloved pet parent recently passed away. Because the family lives in Hawaii, where there are strict requirements for animals entering the state, finding a loving home for them locally would help avoid a difficult and uncertain relocation process while giving these sweet cats the stability and comfort they deserve. He has only lived with or interacted with other cats, so he does not have known experience with dogs or other types of animals. Bilbo has not lived with children, but when children visit the home, he has had no issues. He would prefer gentle petting, and a calm atmosphere. He is fully litter box trained and uses his box consistently making him an easy, low-maintenance companion. Bilbo is playful, curious, and engaged with his surroundings. He loves exploring, finding high perches, chasing fishing pole-style toys, playing in paper bags and boxes, and enjoying catnip. He also has a very affectionate side: he purrs happily during belly rubs and loves settling on a lap, especially when there is a soft blanket waiting for him. Interested? Please reach out via adopt a pet or through email ffocas4pets@gmail.com. We will ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved — especially “Baggy”.

Meet Pikachu! This big handsome orange hunk is just the right mix of affectionate and independent. He is a love bug who enjoys being petted and brushed, likes to have a cat tree to climb, and may even find his way onto your lap. :-) In his previous home, Pikachu lived with another cat -- a younger female to whom he was very attached -- and a dog. This sweet boy is initially afraid of unfamiliar (or less familiar) people. HIs previous family says that he hides when visitors come over. Give him a little time though, and he will come out and rub against their legs. Pikachu's kryptonite is young children. He has been known to get a little "swatty" with them. This is not uncommon as kids can be "a bit much" for many pets. So PIkachu can only go to a home without kids younger than teens. When Pikachu's loving human "mom" passed away, he found himself at Frederick County Animal Control. In a cage at the busy animal shelter, Pikachu doesn't "show well" because he is afraid of all the unfamiliar humans around him and can't hide as well as he would like to. Once someone takes the time to sit with him and gain his trust, he shows his loving nature. Pikachu is about 8 years old and is a big guy at around 14 lbs. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. PIkachu appears to be healthy. He had a dental procedure recently with bad teeth extracted. A heart murmur was detected, but follow-up diagnostics (chest X-rays and proBnP) were normal. Pikachu has always had good litter box habits. He is available for adoption from Frederick County Animal Control. If interested, please reach out to FCAC directly (bodin@frederickcountymd.gov) to find out more about Pikachu. We are FCAC's "friends" group and are helping to promote him. You are welcome to contact us first to see if you might be a fit for this handsome guy (ffocas4pets@gmail.com).
