Male, Adult

Riverdale, MD

Details

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

6 years old. Cloud loves attention and pets. He also loves butt spanks and pats. Anytime he sees a hand, he just wants to be petted. He is a very affectionate cat but also very vocal and chatty. He enjoys laser toys, watching birds, squirrels, and laying on designated areas in the home. He is a very chonky cat. Unfortunately, his mother was diagnosed with early Alzheimers so she tends to overfeed at times. I believe that he needs a loving home that is able to give him the attention and care that he deserves. I can't find any of his paper work at his home but he is fixed. He is playful with other cats and sociable. Eats Friskies wet food seafood and chicken variety. Purina cat chow for indoor cats. Prefer those who are experienced with owning cats.UPDATE: the urgency to rehome has increased. His mother can no longer care for him and has progressed to severe dementia and needing 24/7 support at a facility & can't be home. Reactivating his account again, hoping for a chance.

Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Missy is the sweetest girl. She loves head bunting, head pets, brushing, and laser toys. She was raised as an indoor cat only but loves window watching and talking to birds. She is talkative but won't wake you.She is mainly independent but I've noticed she'll follow you and give you attention when she is ready. She'll lay on your chest and give the most therapeutic purrs. Unfortunately due to the living circumstances with an elderly mother with early Alzheimers I believe she needs a lot more care than she's getting now. I have not been able to find any paperwork for her in her home but she is fixed. Eats Friskies wet food seafood and chicken variety and Purina cat chow for indoor cats. Just want a loving home with someone experienced with cats. UPDATE: the urgency to rehome has increased. Her mother can no longer care for her and has progressed to severe dementia and needing 24/7 support at a facility& can't be home. Reactivating account, Just hoping for a chance. Atleast 10 years old

American Shorthair

Male, Adult

Washington, DC

Size

(when grown) -

Details

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

Story

This sweet, silly, and "Sassy Man" is looking for a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He's a shy guy with anxiety who would love a pet parent(s) who can relate, and show him patience. He's made HUGE strides, and I know as an only pet he would blossom! He lets me give him kisses on his head now and being OK with getting picked up is what we are currently working on. This obviously former house cat arrived at my door in Nov 2023, emaciated, and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. Sassafras had perineal urethrostomy surgery in Dec 2024 after a bad feline lower urinary tract disease episode. That, a partial prescription diet, and being separated from my other cats, has resolved his issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. I've "tried it all" and nothing has worked. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart and I know he misses sleeping on my bed and being out and about in the house.

Omar

American Shorthair

Male, Senior

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is Omar and don't let the picture fool you. His is a pretty big boy and weighs close to 20 lbs. We adopted him from a stray cat shelter in Baltimore. Born and raised in the mean streets of West Baltimore, Omar is named after the iconic character from "The Wire". He survived 6-7 years in one of the roughest part of the city before being given to a shelter where we adopted him. He is a great companion and loves to sit right next to you as you watch TV. Omar isn't really much of a lap cat but will definite try to sit right in between you and a family member on the couch during a movie. He is great around kids and will never bite or scratch them or you. He also gets along fine with other cats but is also fine if he is the only pet. Having spent all those years in the hood, Omar has no interest in going back outside so you wont have to worry about him running outside if you leave the door open too long.
