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! ❤️

Big neurotic teddy bear. He is great with other cats once he's been properly introduced. We picked this guy up in Frederick about 7+ years ago; the sign said he was 2 years old but we suspect he was older then. He loves head rubs and will come to you for them if you lower the back of your hand -- he'll come up and rub on your hand. Despite his size he's not an over-eater; we typically feed our cats once per day with the occasional wet food treat and they do fine. He was twice introduced to pairs of kittens that grew up with him as their big old grandpa cat and he cuddled with them like best buds.

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.

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.

Are you tired of the same old cats? Are you looking for something new and different in your next feline companion? Could you use a little excitement in your life, on a regular basis but nearly always when you least suspect it? Well, keep reading – Silas might just be the cat for you! This adorable little panther is quite affectionate and lovey with his humans. He enjoys petting and scritches and will let you know with a wonderful little purr. But this is just about where any sense of “normalcy” ends with this cutie. Silas has been known to get a little "swatty" and, for extra fun, to attack feet and legs. You know, kind of like a herding dog who doesn’t have enough opportunities to actually ... herd? Except he’s a cat, so behavior that would be a little different and “special” in a dog, might be considered extra different and extra special in this little guy. But wait, there’s more! Silas recently had a dental procedure during which nearly all of his remaining teeth had to be pulled. So some of the sharper, pointier aspects of his sneak attacks are likely to be dulled. Intrigued yet? Because there is yet more! This boy is also not a huge fan of veterinary restraint, which means ... that’s right! Your vet will love him too! (No worries – gabapentin is not prohibitively expensive.) What’s that you say? You would just not take him to the vet if he hates it? Well ... you will actually need to take him to the vet sometimes because ... he also has chronic rhinitis. So generally what this means is that every so often (with a frequency neither we nor you are likely to know in advance), Silas will probably have a flareup of sneezy snottiness, at which point, your vet will, we’re sure, be happy to prescribe some basic meds to get Silas back to feeling his best and ready to go for your ankles once again! You might be thinking, yeah but no way could you ever medicate a cat like this! On this one point though, Silas is quite helpful: he has the food drive of a Labrador retriever. So stick that pill in a piece of food, wash it down with Churu, and you’re set! On a more serious note, since adopting any new pet is, after all, serious, and we want to be sure you’re ready for the commitment: Some of Silas’ attitude could be due to a history as an indoor/outdoor cat. He may simply feel constrained when kept strictly indoors rather than given the freedom to roam. Having a mouthful of bad, painful teeth and finding himself in county lockup probably did not help his demeanor. Also, it's likely that someone inadvertently rewarded this behavior and one could certainly try to reward *other* behaviors -- *any* other behavior really! -- and not this one. While we think that having his dental pain resolved, being out of a cage for good, getting some more helpful communication, and just having some stability in his life will help him to be his best self, very likely, at least to some extent, he is who he is. Silas is currently at Frederick County Animal Control. Staff feel that Silas might do best in a home where he would have room to roam – which could mean a larger home with many elevated perches available, such as cat trees, cat shelves, or other surfaces where he would be welcome to roam and to rule. Or it could mean a home with a nice large catio, a yard fenced for kitties, or another means of providing safe outdoor time for him. We (FFOCAS) would also cover the cost of a consultation with a cat behavior consultant if you ever wanted professional insight and recommendations. Silas is estimated at about 6 years old and is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. 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 Silas. 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).

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.
