Story
If you're looking for a devoted, affectionate partner-in-crime who considers human warmth the ultimate prize, Mako is your guy! At 9 years old, this sweet, handsome tabby is in the prime of his life—completely healthy, low-maintenance, and thoroughly well-mannered. Mako is a big boy with an even bigger heart. While some cats are driven by treats, Mako is purely motivated by love. He will skip the food bowl any day if it means getting quality time with his favorite humans instead. His Favorite Things Endless Attention: Mako craves connection and loves nothing more than being in the same room as his family, soaking in the good vibes. Head & Chin Scratches: Find his sweet spot right under his chin or behind his ears, and you’ll have a purring best friend for life. Cozy Evenings In: A true homebody, Mako’s ideal day involves lounging nearby while you work, read, or relax.

Story
This is Hildy!If you’re looking for a sweet & quiet baby to sit on your lap while you read or chill, you’ve found her!6 years old. Hildy is very sweet, quiet, doesn’t scratch furniture, clean.She always uses her litter box without fault. We feed her one small can of wet food in the morning & one small can of wet food in the evening.She doesn’t play much but she loves a lazer toy & her scratching post.She was rescued by us from the Humane Society about 3 years ago. She is very anxious and was not thriving in the shelter. Because she’s so anxious, she needs a home that is small & quiet, doesn’t have more than two people in the home, & doesn’t have children or other pets.We love her so much but we’re moving to Australia. We can’t take her with us because the visa process & isolation requirements in Australia would be too much for her and I can’t do that to her.We would love for her to find a quiet home with a loving owner. We’ll supply all her cat supplies with her complimentary.

We got rocket when he was 3 months old, my cousins cat had a litter and he offered the sweetest little boy to us. Rocket is 3 years old and is very active and affectionate. We’re looking to find a loving stable home for him that can offer him a happy life!!! We love him very much but our baby is unfortunately very allergic so we’re hoping to rehome him to someone that will love him as much as we do.

Story
Darcy and Atticus were adopted at 9 months in December, 2024 from Patriot Pawsabilities. The two male tabbies are a strongly bonded pair, now just over 2 years old, and should be adopted together. The boys have been neutered, microchipped, have had regular vet care, including all up-to-date vaccinations. Both cats are easygoing & affectionate, love to wrestle & chase each other play with strings & small chew toys, and are indoor cats. The boys are about 12 pounds, will sit on laps or nestle close to their human companions preferring to be close to them whenever possible. Darcy is very outgoing, Atticus a bit shy, but neither cat ever bites or scratches people. They have big appetites, so food should be monitored. Atticus has stomatitis, an autoimmune challenge, requiring the removal of all his teeth, so he must always be on a hydrolyzed protein diet...which Darcy eats, as well. Adoptive parents should PLEASE take the boys together, because they have been bonded since birth.

Story
Cosmo is a big ol; sweetheart looking for a home where he will get lots of love and cuddles. He is a total goofball who spends much of his time lounging around and looking for someone to lie next to or on top of. He is often quite shy with new people but once bonded follows his people around seeking pets and cuddles. He is a big guy - weighing about 21lbs without really being overweight. He likes to go outside in our yard just for a minute or two but then comes dashing back inside. He is also bonded to his sister, Pepper, so we are hoping to find a home for the two of them together. They do have the occasional spats (they are siblings, after all) but most of the time they hang out in different spaces and are affectionate with each other when they are together. We love Cosmo dearly and he is a wonderful cat, but we've discovered that two of our family members are very allergic to cats, causing lots of other health issues, so we have made the very hard choice to rehome him.

Story

They settled easily into their foster home. The girls love playing with toys and wrestling with each other. Tigress occasionally grooms her sister to make sure she's nice and clean! Tigress (brown tabby) is a cute tiger striped girl. She is friendly, adventurous and curious. Tigress loves playing and wrestling with her sister and sitting on the windowsill to watch the birds outdoors.  Pantera (black) is a little panther. She has a beautiful black shiny coat, perfect for petting. Pantera loves mealtime and gets very excited when you wave a wand toy around for her to chase. Pantera also enjoys keeping her human foster family company. What Type of Home They Need The girls need a forever home that will give them plenty of love and affection. They are friendly and outgoing - they thrive on playtime with each other and when interacting with people. A family with older kids would be great to keep them entertained!

Story
Felipe's Personality DOB: 2/2025 Felipe is a young, friendly, and playful grey and white tabby. He has cute black toe beans and looks like he’s wearing black lipstick and eyeliner! He LOVES other cats and needs a cat buddy in his forever home. In Felipe’s typical day, he engages one of his two foster “brothers” in chase-and-wrestle games until his brother wears out! Felipe is respectful of his older foster “brother,” who sometimes tries to show Felipe who is “boss.” Felipe loves to play in his “cat tunnel” and chase a toy on a fishing pole. He enjoys pouncing and wrestling with your hand that’s hidden under a blanket. He also likes to hide behind a bedspread and ambush you playfully as you walk past. When playtime is done, Felipe likes to watch the wildlife outside his sunroom window and nap there. Felipe is not shy one bit and settled into is foster home quickly. Never hiding and wanting to explore. He has a quiet meow and rarely speaks. In foster care, he is becoming more affectionate. When first rescued, Felipe was comfortable being petted only when eating. But more and more, he enjoys petting and is getting use to being picked up for short periods of time. His foster mom is confident he will become a true love bug in the right loving home. Type of Home Felipe Needs Felipe is a young, strong cat who needs an experienced cat caretaker who wants to play with him for about an hour a day and is patient about letting him learn to enjoy more affection. He needs another young male cat in his forever home to bond and play with. He may do ok with an older cat-savvy child (12 years or older) who plays with him. No younger children now or in the future. Where Felipe Came From Felipe was found outdoors by a kind family with 3 cats and 2 dogs of their own. They would have loved to keep him but with an already full household, they cared for him until he was transferred to SPCA’s care.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.

Story
Mango's Personality DOB: 1/1/26 Note: Mango needs a young, playful male cat buddy in his forever home. He's a bit too rambunctious to be a single cat. See his description below for details. Mango is a very handsome orange and white tabby with big green eyes. He is a sweet, moderately playful guy who loves being around people. Mango trots over to greet everyone who comes his way, stranger or not. He’s also a cuddler and is happy to settle in for a nap on a warm lap (or chest if you’re horizontal). He likes being carried around and is quick to purr. Mango enjoys being petted, but like many cats, lets you know when he has had enough. The same goes with playing. He chases a mouse on a string for a while or bats a ball around the floor with you, but then walks away like he has better things to do! Mango can get a little over stimulated when petting or when you walk by he may grab your leg. This tells us he needs plenty of stimulation - activity around him, toys to play with and a kitty friend. Mango loves his cat tree and spends hours on the top perch napping or looking out the window. He also loves running water and likes to stand outside the bathroom to let you know he wants in - so he can jump up on the counter and drink while not caring that he is immersing his head in the water getting soaking wet! What Type of Home Mango Needs Mango needs a home with multiple people who are available to hang out with him. He is not demanding, but likes to be near people. Like most young male cats, Mango needs a like-minded male kitty to bond and play with. Mango sometimes gently nips or grabs when letting you know he has had enough petting or playing or tries to get your attention. He would likely do fine with older cat-savvy older kids (over about 12 years of age), but no young children now or in the future. Where Mango Came From Mango was a stray kitty who was trying to get inside an office building when a kind woman encountered him outdoors. Of course, this kitty - only about 6 months old at the time - had no business being outdoors. She brought him indoors for safekeeping and when nobody claimed him, he was transferred to SPCA's care.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.
