Coco

American Shorthair

Female, Young

Walkersville, MD

Size

Details

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

Story

Coco is a 3 year old spayed, microchipped tuxedo cat who is playful, affectionate, and full of personality. Rescued as a stray in late 2024, she quickly showed she was no feral; litter trained, sweet, and eager for human contact. I adopted her in April 2025, and she has brought so much joy: chasing toys, darting through tunnels, lounging on her cat tower, and even curling up to sleep on my arm. Coco loves to cuddle on her terms and will let you know with love bites when done. She is energetic, social, and thrives on play and attention. Sadly, despite multiple reintroduction attempts with my resident cat (and help from a behaviorist), Coco has faced ongoing aggression from her housemate. Given her experience and for her happiness and safety, she needs to be the only pet in her new home. Coco is healthy, litter trained, and ready to bring love, fun, and companionship to a patient, cat-savvy adopter who can give her the forever home she deserves.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rosie was from a liter of 6 kittens and has lived with mother and 1 other brother. She was born on 7/11/2017, very easy to remember. She is very playful and loves to "fetch" hair ties. She will chase after it, but only walks back half way before dropping it. She also loves to cuddle and sleep with us! A super cute docile kitty! Has never scratched any of us. After the birth of my child, she has been getting a lot less attention, which created a behavioral issue. We have plenty of litter boxes around, but she will not use it if it is not clean. This was never the issue before. It is just unfortunate and we just want to find a new home for her where she can be loved.

Story

Paris is a nice cat. She doesn’t do well with change. She loves to eat and is very much on a schedule. I think she would do well with someone who can devote a lot of time to her. She doesn’t like being left alone for long periods.

Story

Goldaline has been visiting us for months, eventually he decided he wanted to come inside and become part of the family. Unfortunately, he does not get along with our existing cat Cecilia. He is very loving with a loud purr and big personality. We suspect he has single kitten syndrome because of his behavioral issues, he will need a kind and experienced new owner.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is Benji, and he needs your help This baby was left behind by a family that did not want to care for him. When he first arrived, he was scared, traumatized and confused. Benji has been in our care for about two month, and we have taken the time to help him get out of his shell. He is still very scared of humans, often threatened by touch or movement. We are hoping someone with experience, love, tenderness and patience can take him and help him. We have come to love Benji, and you will see that underneath his rough surface is a boy who desires love and affection. We have a cat and he seems very curious about him, so we think he might do well with other cats with proper introduction. Children and loud noises scare him. But with proper introduction we know he will blossom in any home. Benji is waiting for you, and he can’t wait to meet you ❤️

Details

Story

Gouda is basically a giant, purring Cheeto with legs, and she fully intends to crunch her way right into your heart. This sweet orange girl is the definition of cuddly: if she can curl up on you, beside you, or vaguely near you, she considers it a successful day. She’s living her best life in a foster home right now, charming everyone with her soft snuggles, tiny chirps, and “I’m cute, feed me” stare that works every single time. Gouda is ready to trade her foster digs for a forever home where she can be your warm, toasty little sidekick. Her adoption fee is $150 and covers age-appropriate vaccines, spay, microchip, and parasite prevention. If you’ve ever wanted your very own sentient cheese puff, this is your girl.
