Mayzie is the sweetest little thing! we are two college students who adopted her on a whim and cannot take care of her anymore. We want her to go to her forever loving home.

I got him from the humane society around 5 years ago. I want him to have a new loving home where he is loved and appreciated. He is a very laid back cat. He loves being a companion and sticking close to wherever you are. He is an indoor cat.

Story
Azula is a 1 year old kitten. She was acquired through Petsmart charities at 6 months old. She loves to play with strings and lasers. She also loves to try to hop out from behind things to play scare… it’s adorable. She is a fast eater so she’ll need a slow feeder (which we can provide). She is also very picky about her litter box. She only likes litter and she requires a clean box. Azula loves to cuddle at night and shows much of her affection through needing. She is very shy with others and tends to hide when there is company. She loves to watch movies and she will sleep through the night with standard daily playing exercises.

Story
Cricket needs a new home. I need to spend weeks on end in another location and can’t arrange reliable care for her when I’m gone. She’s a good cat, but does not use the litter box consistently. Hoping someone else can give her the love and attention she deserves.

Story
Not quite a tuxedo, just a black cat with some bling. I adopted Laszlo to be a companion to a cat that was very shy, mild, and calm. He's affectionate, mischievous, and very playful. In fact he's too playful for the mild cat and completely overpowers her. He would be a good fit in an energetic household and with other high-energy pets. I think he would like to join a home with other pets, even dogs, but he's also self-contained and would thrive in a home where humans want to engage with him in play and exercise. He came from New York City and won over the rescuers who found him. For some reason he didn't have most of his hair when he came off the street, but it's mostly grown back. He's got a beautiful shiny black coat now with a fancy white ruffle at his neck and a couple peekaboo white spots under his armpits. He loves toys, food, treats and snuggles. Oh, and don't forget the cat nip! He's a happy, healthy guy looking for a home that matches his energy level.

Story
Hello everyone! Looking to rehome my beautiful Domestic Shorthair; She's 2 yrs 6mos, very sweet and gentle, loves to play fetch as well! She can be shy at first when there's company, but overall a super lovely and calm cat. There is a small rehoming fee, but it's strictly for the supplies I recently bought for her that I'll gladly give to her new family. I just want her to be with a loving person/family that will take great care of her. I have many supplies + a cat carrier that I can give as well. Serious inquiries only! In the DC Area, but I can commute to her forever home!
