Madame Peanut

American Shorthair

Female, Adult

Laurel, MD

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Madame Peanut is a 6 year old large sassy lady, but she is very affectionate to people, even to strangers. She loves attention and cheek scratches. She also likes relaxing on the couch, lounging at the top of the stairs so she can watch from above, or watching and smelling from her window. When her humans are home, she tries to stay near you at all times, unless she is too tired. She is a bit overweight but she has been working on losing weight steadily with a regular feeding schedule and plenty of toys to play with. She especially likes feather wands. She is also quite vocal with honks and chirps when she misses her people. Peanut is rather territorial, so she might need to be the only cat in the home. It is unknown how she does with other animals and unknown how she does with children, but every human she has met so far, she instantly warmed up to.

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mochi is a sweet, 5-year-old cat who’s been with us since she was a kitten. She’s gentle, affectionate, and loves attention — meowing for pets and doing little flips once she feels safe. Head and chin scratches are her favorite, though she’s sensitive about certain spots. After her bonded brother passed away, life in a multi-cat home became stressful for her. She’s since developed anxiety around other cats, leading to litter box issues and stress-related urinary problems. In a calm, cat-free home, she does wonderfully — her health and habits stay stable as long as her litter box is cleaned daily. has quirky bent tail from an old injury — it doesn’t hurt her, and it’s become one of her cutest features. When you pet her, she’ll happily swish and bump you with it, like a tiny ankylosaurus showing affection. She needs a patient, experienced, cat-free home where she can relax and thrive. With love, she’ll be a loyal, affectionate companion 💛

Story

Lucci is a 4year old fun cat! He loves to go outside and always comes back. Sometimes in and out several times a day. He’s made friends in our neighborhood. Everyone loves a visit from Lucci. He is still playful and young, but he also loves a good cuddle. He likes to crawl up your chest and purr loudly. He eats dry kibble but also loves treats. He is litter box trained. He is clean and pest free. I can provide a cat carrier, his food, toys, and the extra flea control drops that we have. Please reach out for any questions. We are a military family and where we are moving we cannot take him unfortunately.

Ghost

American Shorthair

Female, Adult

Odenton, MD

Size

(when grown) -

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Ghost is a 7 year old tuxedo and an absolute sweetheart. She is most definitely a lap cat, she will climb onto your lap and start making biscuits almost as soon as you sit down. She likes climbing into your arms at night to sleep and also likes being under blankets. She loves nose scratches the most and will headbutt you for attention. She’s mostly a quiet kitty until she wants attention. She is definitely a dominate kitty and would not be the best choice if you’re looking for a playmate for your current cat. She would probably do best as a solo kitty. She loves wet food and scratching pads and hiding under the bed. She is a Persian-mix so sometimes she does breath heavy but that is normal, nothing is wrong with her. I am looking to rehome her because she doesn’t get along with my other cat.

Mozart

American Shorthair

Male, Young

Odenton, MD

Details

Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mozart (Mozzie for short) is a stray I took care of outside for 6 months before taking him indoors. He is absolutely gorgeous and a real sweetie. He is young, perhaps two years old and loves to play, especially with string toys. He also enjoys watching cat TV and laying on my chest at night while I read. He loves neck scratches most of all and purrs softly. He is pretty tender and not aggressive if you do something he doesn't like, so I think he would do fine with children. I also think he would get along with another cat. Ive been working to integrate him with my current cat for the last 6 months and its just not working. My cat wants to be left alone and Mozzie would like to play. My cat bullies Mozzie and, sadly, I need to re-home. Mozzie would make a wonderful pet and Im sad I have to let him go! Like many strays, he is shy w/ new ppl and will need someone who has patience to wait for him to shine so some prior cat exp would be helpful. Shy cat love is special though.

American Shorthair

Female, Adult

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I adopted Zilly (originally named Godzilla) from my local shelter when she was about 6 months old. She’s now 3 years old and her birthday is sometime in July (i gave her 7/9/22 as a birthday). She’s a mostly chill girl does t cuddle much but like to follow me around stay pretty close. She needs someone to cling to. She likes to play with toys and boxes and bags. I moved with my sister who has a cat but she’s not very fond of other cats so she has phases where she pees outside of the litter box. So her new home should be cat free. I’m stuck with my sister so I can’t keep Zilly anymore. I just want to find her a loving home. She’s used to it just being me and her brother (Koop my pit bull), so maybe a family with no kids would be best for her. I’m happy to provide some of her toys.
