I need to rehome my sweet Chester. We are currently moving and they don’t accept pets. He is the sweetest lovable cat. Like to stay barrel in the little hole or a little space somewhere or bathing in the sun. He is a declawed cat.

BONDED PAIR!! STILL IN PUBLIC SHELTER - SEEKS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME! Meet Big Man and Cookie, a bonded brown tabby-tuxedo pair who really really love each other and people! They are absolutely darling and so purrfect together! These one-year-old lovebugs have a very special connection and must be adopted together. They love to do almost everything together and happily share, making them as easy as one cat with twice the smiles and purrs. Big Man is very friendly and readily approaches for affection if you are nearby or open the kennel door. He really loves chin scratches and leans in to savor them fully. At 12 lbs he is a big teddy bear. He seems to have a bit more confidence in new places than Cookie, comfortable exploring while Cookie finds a safe place to perch and scope out the scene He enjoys taking in all the shelter happenings but would really prefer a home where he can watch birds and get more snuggles. Cookie is a sweet petite (6 lbs) darling who finds her confidence in her bonded buddy Big Man. When she is alone in a new place, she is shy and reserved. When Big Man appears, she lights up and transforms into a relaxed and affectionate girl. She is comfortable being held and shows curious interest in her surroundings. She will continue to blossom in a loving home. They have been confined to a shelter cage for over a month and are eager for a second chance and a new home to call their own! Posted 7/19/26

🧡 Meet Beckett – Your New Best Friend! 🧡 If you've been dreaming of a cat who greets you at the door, follows you from room to room, and makes every day a little brighter, Beckett may be the perfect match. This handsome 3-year-old orange tabby is packed with charm, affection, and personality. At 10 pounds, he's the perfect-sized companion with a huge heart and an endless supply of purrs. Beckett loves people and isn't shy about showing it—he'll happily seek out attention, lean into head rubs and ear scratches, and make you feel like the center of his world. However, he does sometimes get overstimulated and forgets that arms/legs are not playthings. We think with more space, attention than he's getting now, or another playful feline companion, that behavior will subside. Beckett is confident, curious, and always interested in what's going on around him. He enjoys exploring new spaces, chasing toys, and then settling in nearby for quality time with his favorite humans. Why Beckett is so special: 🐾 Friendly, affectionate, and people-focused 😻 Loves pets, ear scratches, and attention 🏠 Confident and adaptable in new environments 🎾 Playful and curious without being overly demanding 🧡 A loyal companion who truly enjoys being with his people Beckett has never met a stranger—just friends he hasn't charmed yet. If you're looking for a loving companion who will welcome you home each day and fill your life with affection, Beckett is waiting to meet you. Come meet Beckett and see for yourself why orange cats are famous for stealing hearts! Meet him in Alexandria, VA Posted 6/11/26

Story
5 mos old Noodles made her way from an overcrowded North Carolina shelter to the DMV in search of a brighter future and a forever home! This adorable 5-month-old girl sports a pretty brown tabby coat hi-lighted with orange and an even more beautiful heart. She’s happiest being in your arms and soaking up all the love she can get. Noodles is a total sweetheart who loves scratches, playtime, and of course treats. She is a champion cuddler who adores being petted and will purr her heart out to show her appreciation. A big fan of being close to people, Noodle is also a devoted leg-rubber who happily gets underfoot and just wants to be part of the action. She would make an excellent first kitty for a new cat owner and is ready to be someone’s perfect little companion! Posted 6/6/26

Story
It breaks my heart, but I need to re-home my recent rescue cat. I renamed Harrison (full name Harrison Ignastius Houdini Morningstar). Harrison is a near-perfect cat, except I got him to be friends with Oscar (full name Oscar Felipe Magnifico). Unfortunately, Harrison needs to be a solo cat, and Oscar needs not to be terrorized in his own home. This makes me very sad, as he is a great cat. He loves to play (he can fetch), is a snuggler, and can be picked up. If you are in need of this near-perfect, loving (to humans), playful, beautiful boy, please contact me. I can set up some time for you to meet him. Harrison deserves to have the best of everything. And you deserve the best cat.

Story
Petunia was adopted in 2021 as a kitten from a home in Gaithersburg Maryland. Petunia is a very gentle and sweet cat. She loves to greet you at the door and be pet while you sit on the couch. I am rehoming sadly because the place I am moving does not allow pets. She loves slinkies and any type of string or rope toys. She has been living with her companion cat, Red, for her whole life, and they are a package deal. They enjoy each other's company and need to be adopted together.

These cats are in Alexandria, Virginia too!

Story
Meet Luna!Luna is a beautiful 6-year-old cat with a gentle, loving personality. She is a calm, affectionate companion with a gentle heart and a soothing purr. She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for her sweet nature to shine through. Once she's comfortable, she'll reward you with loud, happy purrs and plenty of cuddles.Luna loves curling up next to you at night and is the perfect bedtime companion. While she's affectionate, she's also independent and enjoys having her own quiet moments. One of her most endearing qualities is how gentle she is—she has never been a cat to bite or scratch.Luna is also a talented bug hunter and takes her household "security" duties seriously.Luna doesn't mind dogs, though she'd likely be happiest in a calm home. She has a very close bond with her lifelong companion, Stormy, and we would love for them to find a forever home together. They bring out the best in each other and make a wonderful pair.

Story
Professor Peaches is one of the most loving cats you will ever meet. He loves laps, especially while you're sitting down for a meal, and cuddling in bed, especially as the little spoon. It's like he’s trying to make up for all the comfort he lost. He once had a family, but when their apartment complex was condemned and everyone moved out, he returned home one day to find nobody there to let him back inside. He waited and waited, but no one ever came back for him. When he first arrived in foster care, he would jolt awake in panic and cry out for his foster mom, terrified of being abandoned again. He does have some health issues: mild heart murmur, stage 1 kidney disease, back leg pain. He will need a specific diet and pain management therapies. He also is not very trusting of other cats and dogs, but will cohabit with them as long as they are quiet and gentle. This sweetie has already survived heartbreak once and deserves to feel safe, cherished, and home again.

Meet Stormy! Stormy is a 5-year-old sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She absolutely loves people and thrives on attention, making friends with just about everyone she meets. If you're looking for a cat who wants to be part of everything you do, Stormy is your girl. She's incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle, especially at bedtime. Don't be surprised if she curls up next to you every night—sleeping with her favorite humans is one of her favorite things. Stormy also has a playful, silly side and enjoys hiding in the funniest places, always keeping you entertained. She's an excellent little bug hunter, so she'll happily help keep unwanted critters out of the house. Stormy is not a fan of dogs and would do best in a dog-free home. She shares a special bond with her best friend, Luna, and we would love for them to be adopted together if possible. They complement each other wonderfully and have been lifelong companions.
