Carmella’s Personality  Carmella is a perfect blend of snuggles and fun! This adorable teenager loves morning cuddles and curling up in your lap, making biscuits as she purrs away. As the day unfolds, Carmella transitions into play mode, bouncing around with joy and exploring every corner of her domain. She LOVES plastic spring toys, watching the birds and squirrels outdoors while perched in front of a window indoors, and following her foster mom around the house. Carmella is very curious and in constant motion when in play mode...looking for things to keep her occupied. Carmella is a wonderful kitty with people, but a bit too dominant to live with other cats - she wants to be in charge of her domain! In the afternoons, you’ll find her basking in sunny spots, napping and recharging for her evening antics. Carmella may be a tad bit shy when meeting new people, but she adapts quickly then becomes fearless, always eager for a friendly face. When she’s not in the mood to play, Carmella loves to take some time for herself, often found bathing or napping in a quiet corner. In the evenings, she turns up the energy by sprinting up and down the stairs, ready for some fun! Bonus: she likes to play fetch and is happy to bring her toys back to you, ready for another round of playtime.  What Type of Home Carmella Needs  Carmella needs a home where she will get plenty of interaction and playtime with her guardians. She wants to be with her people! She needs a moderately active home. We are seeking a family ideally with an older child - about 12 years of age or older - to play with her and keep her occupied. Carmella is very curious and energetic and needs the type of stimulation that a family can provide. Where Carmella Came From Carmella came from an active home with children and another cat. She did well with the young male cat she grew up with. However, after coming into SPCA's care, she was adopted into a new home with a young friendly female cat and she surprised us with her assertive behavior. So we've decided she needs to be the only kitty in her forever home.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.

Smoky's Personality  Smoky is a whirlwind of energy wrapped in a soft, purring bundle of affection. He's bold and curious and loves everyone he meets. Smoky is always up to something—batting at dangling strings, launching surprise attacks on unsuspecting toys, or exploring every nook and cranny of his foster home. Smoky even occasionally brings toys back to you if you throw them (as if to play catch!). He has a quirky love for water and loves to drink fresh water from the faucet!  Despite his silly antics, Smoky is a total cuddle-bug at heart. He loves being on your lap and is happy to snuggle with you for hours if you let him. Smoky also loves curling up in your arms, purring his little motor, and showing affection with his signature loving licks.  When rescued, Smoky had a badly damaged right eye from a old trauma. So his right eye had to be surgically removed. But this hasn't slowed Smoky down one bit - he runs, jumps and plays just like any other playful kitty. With Smoky around, every day is filled with laughter, playtime, and the sweetest cuddles.  What Type of Home Smoky Needs  Smoky must be adopted into a home with a young, like-minded cat buddy to bond and play with. He's very active - always on the go. For a male cat his age, he's very small and will likey remain a small cat (at 10 months of age he weighed just under 7 lbs). We usually pair males with males, and females with females, because gender influences size and style of play (with males typically being bigger, stronger, faster and engaging in rough play). However, given his small size, Smoky may be compatible with either a male or female cat buddy. He also needs a home where people are around to give him love, affection and playtime. Smoky would do great with a family with kids old enough to know how to interact with an energetic kitty. We have not seen him interact with dogs but he would likely be ok with a cat-friendly dog. Where Smoky Came From  Smoky was found outdoors, sick and injured and needing immediate vet care. With no homes close by, we sadly think he was abandoned. Smoky literally ran up to the person who is fostering him then followed her to her car and jumped right in. Lucky for Smoky, she wasn't about to leave him outside to fend for himself.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.

Nacho’s Personality  Nacho is a handsome orange and white tabby who is an absolute delight! He thrives on being with people. Nacho loves to follow you around and watch everything you’re doing. He even sits in the bathroom waiting for you as you take a shower! At night, he likes to snuggle with you under the covers. His foster mom describes Nacho as being a very polite and infinitely curious. Nacho is generally a calm kitty, but he gets the zoomies, typically later in the evening. When that happens, he loves to race around and play. His favorite toys are batting plastic Easter eggs around, chasing a laser pointer, or playing with a string on a stick. What Type of Home Nacho Needs  Nacho needs a relatively quiet to moderately quiet home where he gets plenty of human interaction. He needs a home with more than one person - a couple or family with an older child would be ideal. No very young children. Nacho needs a home where people are around at least some days of the week - such as a retired couple or where at least one person works from home some days of the week. Nacho is a young, inquisitive cat who needs interaction. We have not seen Nacho interact with other cats, so at least initially, he needs to be the only cat in your home. If his forever home wants to try to introduce a second kitty down the road, this should be after Nacho is fully settled in such as months down the road. However, we can't guarantee he will do well with other cats.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.
