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
Reggie is a wonderful, small (6 pound), neutered, affectionate, incredibly soft, sweet cat. He is an 11- year-old brown tabby who still loves to play. Reggie loves to toss around small toys and chase a stick under any rug. He loves company and being petted, especially on rugs and stairs, and to sit on the back of a chair to nudge your head. There is no question that Reggie is still adorable and active.Situation: Reggie is a small male cat, about half the size of our other cats. Being frequently chased by them has caused stress, which occasionally leads to spraying. We believe he would thrive as the only pet in a home with a woman who has time to give him attention esp. becuase he didn't spray previously. He hides from men and children and has never lived with dogs. Reggie is an indoor-only cat. He has mild eye discharge and slight farsightedness from kittenhood herpes (not contagious), plus only his fangs due to tooth resorption, but he eats normally and is otherwise healthy.

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
🐾 Raina – Sweet Cat Seeking a Calm Home Raina is a gentle 11-year-old spayed tabby looking for a loving new home. This is a difficult decision for our family after welcoming a baby, and we want to find her the quiet, caring environment she deserves. Raina is an indoor cat with complete veterinary records. She can be shy at first, but once comfortable she is affectionate and loves curling up beside you at night. She’s also content spending time relaxing on her own during the day. She has some anxiety and a slightly wobbly back leg but is otherwise healthy. • 11-year-old female tabby • Spayed • Indoor-only • Full medical records available • Sweet, gentle, and affectionate We can send her with food, litter boxes, carriers, beds, toys, scratching posts, and other supplies to help with the transition. A modest adoption fee applies. We are also rehoming Nova, an 8-year-old tabby/Maine Coon mix, if you may be interested in adopting two cats.

These cats are in Arlington, Virginia too!

Story
Bella’s Personality DOB: 6/2018 Bella is a gorgeous tabby/tortoiseshell mix with bright orange colors and stunning yellow eyes. She's a very social, affectionate, playful and talkative kitty full of personality! What’s not to fall in love with? Be prepared for a cat who loves to hangout and keep her family company. Bella does well when left home alone, but really enjoys being around people. She is very easy going and even allows nail trims. Bella loves a good snuggle and tons of petting - she greets you when you come home and has never met a stranger she didn't like! She's not easily spooked and actually enjoys guests because this means extra petting for her. Bella enjoys interactive playtime - especially chasing string toys and batting toys around. She likes to sleep on the bed with you and is usually found curled in a little ball at the foot of the bed. What Type of Home Bella Needs Bella needs a home where she gets plenty of people time. She enjoys interactive play as much as napping. She's an ideal companion for people who want an engaging cat. We haven't seen her interact with kids but she would likely do fine with kids who know how to interact with cats as she is extremely gentle. Bella would do well in a home with or without another friendly cat with a compatible activity level. She previously lived with another cat for years and we understand she wanted to engage in play although the other cat wasn’t interested. Where Bella Came From Bella was loved and very well cared for in her previous home. She was surrendered because her caretaker unfortunately became too ill to care for her.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
Lily's Personality DOB: 11/2025 Lily is an adorable dilute calico - with plenty of grey and peach patches of color on a white coat. This girl is friendly, curious and bold. She doesn't have a care in the world. She enters a new home with new people and is immediately curious. After she is satisfied that her new space is to her liking, she is ready for playtime then lots of cuddles. She easily climbs into your lap when she wants some affection. And sleeps by your side at night. What Type of Home Lily Needs Lily thrives on playtime and interaction with people. So she needs a home where people are around to give her plenty of interactive play and attention. A home with older kids would be great. We have not seen Lily interact with other cats but are confident she would thrive in a home with another young, playful female cat. Where Lily Came From Lily came from a loving home with a family that suddenly lost their home. A family member took them in but couldn't accommodate Lily since other family members are allergic to cats. So this sweet girl suddenly found herself in need of a new home. Safe in SPCA's care, we will make sure she finds another loving home.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
Felipe's Personality DOB: 2/2025 Felipe is a young, friendly grey and white tabby. He looks like he's wearing black lipstick and eyeliner! Felipe is a bold and confident cat who loves playtime - with his foster mom and other cats. He settled in easily, not hiding at all, and enjoys playing with one of the two other male cats in his foster home. Felipe engages one of his foster “brothers” in chase-and-wrestle games until his "brother" wears out! Felipe is generally respectful of his other “brother,” who is older and has no interest in playing, though Felipe occasionally needs reminders to back off. He’s not a bully; he just wants to play! Because of this, Felipe needs another young playful male cat in his forever home. When Felipe is not playing with his "brother," he loves to chase a toy on a fishing pole. He sometimes likes to playfully "ambush" you as you walk by - he is still learning to be gentler and only ambush toys. Felipe is learning how nice it is to be petted. He has never been shy, but prefers playtime to being petted. However, Felipe is starting to enjoy affection more and more and has even started climbing into his foster mom's lap. Felipe loves eating as much as playing and is enthusiastic about his meals. He is not picky about wet food and prefers wet food to dry food. Type of Home Felipe Needs Felipe needs an experienced cat caretaker who understands some cats prefer playtime to affection. He's a young, strong cat who thrives on interactive playtime - with people and other cats. He needs a home with another young, playful male cat to bond and play with. No young children now or in the future. An older cat-savvy child (over about 12 years of age) may be ok. Where Felipe Came From Felipe was found living outdoors by a kind family with 3 cats and 2 dogs. With an already full household, they were not able to keep Felipe but cared for him until he came into 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.
