Story
Meet Styx! As of February he’s 10 months old, we got him from a coworker that just kind of threw him at us after their cat had kittens. We took him to the vet only to find out he was 3 weeks old, we were hoping our older cat would take on a motherly role with him but that unfortunately never happened, she cannot get along with Styx (no fault of his). He's such a cuddle bug, he loves to be near you when I get home I pick him up and he licks me under my chin and purrs louder than Ive ever heard any cat purr. He’ll cuddle up on your chest when you're laying in bed or at your desk, he's always happy to see you. This little guy LOVES to play fetch and it doesn’t matter what toy you throw! He’s still very much a kitten, incredibly curious, brave, and daring. We love our sticky boy very very much but recognize that we’re not the best fit for him, we think he’d do best in a home with another cat or two to keep him company and always be available for play and snuggles.

Story
I adopted Teddy in October 2021 from a rescue. Teddy turned 3 years old in July 2024. He is currently 10 pounds and in good health. No previous or ongoing health needs. Unfortunately, Teddy no longer gets along with my other cat and has become aggressive toward her. In Teddy's new home, I'm looking for a family (with or without children) who can give Teddy the full attention that he desires. I believe Teddy would thrive in a household where he is the only cat. Teddy can be territorial if other animals are in the home, which presents itself as aggressive behavior (jumping on top of other, less powerful cat). Teddy has always been very playful and loving. He is a sweet boy to all humans and very social. He is always the first to greet you at the door. He adjusted perfectly when I had my son in 2022 and continues to show a loving interest in spending time with him.

Story
Ethel is a super sweet kitty. She is about 8 years old I am told. She is also deaf. I received Ethel from a friend that was no longer able to take care of her. I have two cats at home already and neither of them get along with her. I’ve waited many months to see if it would change, but it has not. Ethel needs a loving home that she doesn’t get picked on by other animals.

Story
My son brought Tobi home because he was 1 of 2 kittens in a friend's litter. He is now 10, and very well fed and loved. He is a lap cat and kind to kids and people. Reason He was my son's cat, but my son has moved out and I work too far away. I also hope to move out of the area soon so it's best I find a good family or home for him. Adjectives that describe your pet: A lap cat, very affectionate, eats well, likes to go in the yard but never runs away from home. He does shed but is good with kids and strangers. Best Qualities Happy and calm but not aloof. Cute/funny quirks Thinks he is a dog and will run outside with you, but only if it's evening. Special toys or treats that they love Balls with jingle bells, the feather in a stick, scratching posts

Story
This sweet, cuddly grey cat (approx. 6 yrs old) is looking for a quiet, stable home where she can thrive. We adopted her from an animal shelter in Baltimore when she was just a year old. She loves to cuddle and play, and adores patient people. She previously did well in a calm home when we had no other dogs or kids. She began marking her territory a few years ago when our work schedules became unpredictable and we were not able to give her the attention she needs. Now we have a new baby and a new puppy, and it has caused our sweet Nala to become withdrawn. She has never been aggressive to kids or other animals, but she is happier without them. She really needs a loving home with understanding humans, a predictable schedule, and ideally, no dogs or kids. She's quiet (but loud around feeding time!), affectionate, playful, and deserves a second chance at happiness. This decision has been extremely hard for our family, but our sweet girl deserves a home that can give her what she needs.
