Tabby kittens & cats in Poolesville, Maryland

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.

Stripes is in the house! I am about 4 years old. I love my friend Patches! It has been Patches and Stripes for as long as I can remember. It would be great if we could be adopted together. However, since we have been looking for a forever home for a long time now (more than 2 years!), Patches and I have made the tough decision that we can be adopted to separate homes. We are hoping that this, plus our adoption fees being waived thanks to generous sponsors, will increase our chances of success. I am looking for that unique adopter who will love me and take care of me but will not expect a snuggly kitty in return. I am a pseudo scaredy cat. While I still have an instinct to hide when a person walks in the room, now I stop myself and do some stretching. It is very important to stretch before exercising. Also, I am bribable. So, when you want a little attention from me, I will take Churo from your fingers! I would prefer a home with another cat. While another cat in my home can only make life better, and help me come out of my shell, children and dogs are a big ICK. Seriously, cats rule! If you think that you could be that special someone for me, please learn more about me by filling out a no obligation cat adoption application. All of our cats are in foster homes. Please submit an application to start the process today! https://humaneloudoun.org/adopt/cat-adoption-application/

Meet Jester: The King of Pets and Wet Food! Jester is a 7-year-old handsome gentleman with a big personality and an even bigger love for people. If you're looking for a cat who wants to be involved in everything you do, Jester is your guy. He adores human attention, demands pets on a regular basis, and will happily rub against your legs to remind you that he should be the center of your world. Don't let his age fool you. Jester still gets the occasional burst of energy and is known to tear through the house with impressive zoomies before settling back down for more affection. While toys are fine, he'd much rather spend his time with his favorite humans. Speaking of favorites, Jester's true love language is wet food. Need to make a new best friend? Crack open a can. He would do just about anything for a tasty wet food meal. Jester would do best in a home without young children. He prefers a calmer environment where he can enjoy attention on his own terms and be the beloved companion he was born to be. One more thing: if you're looking for a cat who enjoys brushing sessions, keep looking. Let's just say that brushing is not on Jester’s list of favorite activities. If you're ready for a loving, affectionate cat with plenty of character, a passion for snacks, and a talent for making every day more entertaining, Jester is waiting to meet you. 🐾❤️ Fill out a no-obligation cat adoption application today at humaneloudoun.org/adopt/cat-adoption-application/

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.

Buffy was trapped on the Buddhist Temple property after being dumped by her previous owner. She is recovering from her trauma and would do best in a quiet environment with other, more confident, cats to help her navigate the scary world.
