Story
Great indoor/outdoor cat named Figaro. He was a neighborhood stray that adopted us. He’s really friendly, and is fine with kids unless they play a little rough with him. If he’s hungry or wants more attention sometimes he swats or nips at you so you pay attention. He’s not a bad cat and 99 percent of the time he’s totally fine--he loves to curl up next to you and fall asleep. He's very affectionate. Unfortunately he scratched my toddler twice when she tried to play with him so she’s now scared of him, and he nipped my wife's ankle trying to get her attention once, so we’re looking to move him on to a new home. He's a great cat, just not the right fit for us. He’s neutered and has been given a bunch of shots (was up to date about eight months ago) and is also microchipped. A few neighborhood cats in our area come into our yard and try to fight with him, which is why I say he's not good with other cats (I blame the other cats). No idea how he is around dogs. He's great at killing mice.

My friend gave Emiya to me as she can no longer have her. She is about 3 years old. A quiet cat and doesn't move around, she spends most times in her bed.She lost some hair on her body and didn't grow back, checked with vet and they don't have a conclusive diagnosis.

Story
Kiki is a sweet loving 12 year old cat who was my exes cat that he left me with in 2018. She is overweight and has back pain but other than that she's in good health. She's very calm, likes to sleep a lot but is also affectionate. I cannot afford to take her to the vet to find out what's wrong with her back, possibly cancer pain or something to do with the spine because she twitches whenever her back is touched. I recently adopted a puppy and she doesn't get along with it either. Puppy just wants to play but she doesn't so she hisses and swipes at it if it comes to close. I don't want to have to put her down due to her back pain so this adoption option is my best hope. She just needs a loving home.

Story
Strudel is the sweetest, extremely playful 10-month old kitten. He has never met a lap that he didn't love or a feather toy he wouldn't chase about for hours and leap into the air for. He is bonded to his brother, Tootsie (tuxedo, pictured). His favorite hobbies include bird watching, neighbor watching (especially if they are doing anything he deems interesting), cuddling with his foster parents, snuggling with his siblings, and demanding punctual mealtimes -7:00 AM/PM...sharp. He was born in a DC back alley to the sweetest stray mama with his 4 other siblings. He is well socialized (people & cats), neutered, and fully up to date on his vaccinates. He will tolerate having his nails clipped, and will even stop squirming if bribed with churu. We brought him and his family inside last October and they have been inside ever since. We would like to adopt Strudel with Tootsie as indoor only cats, they are bonded, rely on each other for comfort and play, have 0 survival instincts.
