Story
Adopted in November of 2025, Apollo is under a year old, and he is a very calm and affectionate boy. He can be very playful with others and his favorite thing to do is look out the window. In a new home we look for someone who can take Apollos brother, Zeus, a cat who is also under a year and is very energetic. The two cats are very bonded and do not do well alone. If not possible to take them together, we look for a home with an already established cat who is calm friendly.

Story
Hello. I have recently come down with some health issues and I am afraid I can no longer provide a safe loving home for my furry friend. I adopted him from a friend when he was 7 years old from a friend of my sister who turned out to be allergic to him. He is currently about 15 years old and was recently diagnosed with diabetes. He has a prescription for wet food and insulin. He is a friendly old man who is getting up in age and needs a quiet peaceful home to exist in.

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.
