Tabby kittens & cats in Frederick, Maryland

🐾 **Rosie & Lily Are Looking for a Home Together** 🐾 I’m looking for a loving home for Rosie and Lily, two 1-year-old female domestic short-haired tabby cats. Keeping them together is very important to me, so they must be adopted as a pair. One is spayed, and the other is not yet spayed. I’m hoping to find someone who can provide both girls with a safe, caring, permanent home. Please message me if you’re interested or would like more information. Please share to help Rosie and Lily find their new home! ❤️

Cricket is a 5 month old very petite kitten with the cutest face. She was born at her foster home after her pregnant mom was found dumped on someone's property. She is just as sweet as can be and loves attention. She'll come up to her foster mom, rub on her legs and jump in her lap for love and pets. She loves playing with all kinds of toys and likes to nap with other cats/kittens on the couch or cat trees. She has not seemed bothered by her foster mom's 4 dogs and should be fine with dogs as long as they are cat-friendly. Cricket should have another cat or kitten in her home or have someone who is home a majority of the time. She would not do well being left alone for long periods of time.

MaryAnn is a petite 6 month old kitten with the cutest round face. She was the only girl in her litter of 4 who were bottle fed by their foster mom from 2.5 weeks old. She stood up well to her 3 crazy brothers! MaryAnn is lovable, loves attention, and very go with the flow kind of gal. She is active and plays with all kinds of toys as well as other kittens. Her energy level is a little less than that of her 3 brothers. She has one rear leg that is a bit shorter than her other legs but it does not slow her down. She runs, plays and climbs without any problems. We recommend a home without small children for MaryAnn (ages 10+). She gets along with other cats/kittens and dogs as long as they are respectful of cats.

Meet Smokey, aka Smoked Sausage. Smokey is a 13-year-old tabby who has perfected the art of looking deeply unimpressed while actually being a playful, energetic, and very entertaining cat. Just look at that face. Smokey appears to have several serious concerns he'd like to discuss with management. In reality, what he mostly wants to discuss is when you're going to play with him again. Smokey has a surprising amount of energy for a 13-year-old. He loves chasing toys, batting at anything interesting, and generally behaving like someone forgot to tell him he's a senior citizen. He also makes the most adorable little chirping sounds when he wants something. And he will let you know when he has a request. Smokey is a little timid and may take some time to feel comfortable with new people. He isn't the cat who is likely to march into a new house and immediately assume ownership of the place. Give him some time, let him come to you, and you'll get to know the funny, playful personality hiding behind that perpetually grumpy expression. When Smokey came into foster care, he was very skinny and was already on a prescription renal diet. He has done well in foster care, but he will need to remain on a prescription renal diet for life. He also takes oral medication for his tummy. Fortunately, Smokey is an easy patient: he happily takes his medication when it's tucked into pill wrap. There is one important requirement for Smokey's new home: he needs to live in a dog-free household. Smokey is terrified of dogs and would not be comfortable sharing his home with one. Smokey is currently living with his "sister." They aren't related by blood, but they came from the same former owner. They get along, but they aren't bonded, so Smokey does not need to be adopted with her. His ideal home would be a relatively quiet one where he can settle in at his own pace. Older children who understand that a cat may need some time to warm up would likely be fine. He also has excellent litter box etiquette, because apparently even a cat who looks this judgmental has impeccable manners. If you're looking for a senior cat who still has plenty of kitten in him, loves to play, communicates with adorable chirps, and comes with his own permanently grumpy facial expression, Smokey may be your guy.   To  adopt you must first complete an adoption application and meet the cat in its foster home. We do not do same day adoptions so, generally, we can only adopt within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

Meet Haley, 14 years old and absolutely convinced that your lap belongs to her. Haley is the kind of cat who makes you wonder why anyone ever decided that cats are aloof. This beautiful girl is extremely sweet, loves attention, and is a serious lap-cat professional. Her favorite activity is curling up on her person and going to sleep. If you sit down, there is a good chance Haley will interpret that as an invitation. If you lie down, even better. She especially loves sleeping on her person, and once she decides you're hers, she wants to be close. And then there is her fur. It is unbelievably soft. Seriously, you'll want to keep petting her. Haley is a little skittish and can be nervous in unfamiliar situations, so she needs a quiet home and someone who will let her build confidence at her own pace. But underneath that initial caution is a wonderfully affectionate cat who really enjoys having a person of her own. She's also playful and still very much enjoys batting at toys and having a good time. She may be 14, but she has not retired from the important business of playing. Haley currently lives with Smokey, her "brother." They aren't related by blood but came from the same former home. They get along fine, but they aren't bonded. Haley would probably be happiest as the only cat, where she doesn't have to share her person, or her lap. Haley is afraid of dogs, so she needs a dog-free home. Haley does have some ongoing medical needs, but they are quite manageable. She takes a thyroid medication and gabapentin for her arthritis pain, neither of which is particularly expensive. She also needs to remain on a prescription renal diet. Her adopter will need to be comfortable continuing her medications and dietary care. She also has excellent litter box manners, because even when she's busy occupying your lap, she takes care of business. What Haley wants is someone who will appreciate a slightly shy cat who becomes deeply attached once she trusts you, and who doesn't mind having a soft, purring, sleeping cat permanently installed on their lap.   To  adopt you must first complete an adoption application and meet the cat in its foster home. We do not do same day adoptions so, generally, we can only adopt within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

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).
