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 💛

Madame Peanut

American Shorthair

Female, Adult

Laurel, MD

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.

Goldie

American Shorthair

Details

Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

One of 2 boys in a litter of 5. They were found outside in the rain and taken in. Unfortunately, the mother never returned and so we kept them. Finances have gotten a little stressful and so it would be better to have someone else take care of them. Goldie was born in March making him 9 months old. A home with a lot of attention and love would be great for him. He is definitely the needy one of the group, crying out for pets as a kitten and being the most vocal one now when demanding stuff. He is very affectionate and very clingy. He will follow you everywhere.

Details

Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

One of 2 boys in a litter of 5. The litter was found outside in our back yard in the rain. The mother never returned to look for them and so they were kept. The expenses have become too much so unfortunately we cannot take care of them anymore. He is 9 months old and born in March. We are looking for a household with lots of care, love, and patience. Foxy is definitely the more difficult one of the 5 since he can be very picky with his litter box (prioritizes using litter box but has less tolerance to a dirty litter box than the others) and very rowdy. What he is in difficult he makes up in how charming, silly, and an overall sweetheart he is. He never failed to put a smile on my face.

Story

I’ve had this sweet girl since I was 12, so she’s been part of my life for a long time.She will be 14 in 2026. She’s always been incredibly affectionate the kind of cat who senses when you’re feeling down and will curl up on your chest or sit beside you until you feel better. She loves being close to her person and will happily cuddle for hours. She’s also very food-motivated, playful in little bursts, and has a gentle, calm personality that makes her easy to love. I’m looking for a home where she will be cherished as much as she has been with me someone who appreciates a cuddly, people-oriented cat and can give her the attention, warmth, and stability she thrives on. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who brings comfort and sweetness into the home, she’s truly that kind of cat. Adjectives that describe her best: affectionate, gentle, cuddly, loyal, food-loving, comforting, and easygoing.
