Story
Melo is a very sweet guy! He loves spending time with his owner whether it means cuddles in the bed, watching tv on the couch and if allowed he loves sleeping together at night. He makes the funniest faces like he's a cool mean guy but he's really just as fuzzy and loving as his fur. He loves his snacks/food, being brushed, sunbathing and even loves going outside but needs to be kept in an area outdoors where no harm can be done to him. He's also very talented when it comes to catching things so when you let him outdoors be careful that he doesn't bring you a gift back. He doesn't talk all the time but loves to greet you when you come home and will let you know what he needs he's such a smart guy and so easy to care for. He is a pretty chunky guy but he is healthy and just needs a new home to love him just as much as his mom does. Melo also has a brother so if both could be rehired together that would be best, they have been together their whole lives. Comes with litter/food.

Story
Kobe like his brother melo is a very sweet ball of energy. He loves walking and running around the house and often getting in his brothers nerves but also can be very relaxed and just want to snuggle up. His favorite thing to do is to nudge your face to let you know he's ready for pets and cuddles. He also loves treats and is most vocal when he hears the sound of a bag of treats rattling. Kobe is partially blind but in most cases you wouldn't realize since his vision has been impaired since birth. He gets around really well but you will notice that sometimes his reactions are delayed since he can't see that well. Outside of just some vision issues he's the purrrfect companion to be with and is so easy going. Looking for an owner to adopt melo and Kobe both if possible

Story
Mi-O met me at a Banfield pet adoption event in Silver Spring and we instantly hit it off! Mi-O is a sweet natured, 3 YO fun loving feline that is fiercely independent, meaning she’ll let you know when she wants to be petted, play games (she’ll walk her chosen toy to you) or if she just wants a cuddle. Her favorite past time is people watching from the window or sleeping. She will always however, greet you at the door and ask you (by way of meowing) on how your day went … indulge her; she truly loves chatting. Michelle is neat and loves to groom herself, she’s not afraid of her annual veterinary visit and is always pleasant. Her travel Bubble Bag is familiar & comforting to take her for walks or in the city for some sight seeing. She will fight you when getting her nails trimmed but if you give her a treat, she’ll let you clip away. This sweet girl loves humans, little and grown ones and typically takes a few minutes to warm up to you. Once she does, she’ll steal ya heart!

Luna and Cloud are two young cats, a little over 2 years old. I travel frequently and I’m unable to give them the attention they deserve. They are very cuddly and love to rub up on people. They love attention and will cry if you need space. They are quite talkative as well.

Story
Hello everyone! Looking to rehome my beautiful Domestic Shorthair; She's 2 yrs 6mos, very sweet and gentle, loves to play fetch as well! She can be shy at first when there's company, but overall a super lovely and calm cat. There is a small rehoming fee, but it's strictly for the supplies I recently bought for her that I'll gladly give to her new family. I just want her to be with a loving person/family that will take great care of her. I have many supplies + a cat carrier that I can give as well. Serious inquiries only! In the DC Area, but I can commute to her forever home!

Story
Not quite a tuxedo, just a black cat with some bling. I adopted Laszlo to be a companion to a cat that was very shy, mild, and calm. He's affectionate, mischievous, and very playful. In fact he's too playful for the mild cat and completely overpowers her. He would be a good fit in an energetic household and with other high-energy pets. I think he would like to join a home with other pets, even dogs, but he's also self-contained and would thrive in a home where humans want to engage with him in play and exercise. He came from New York City and won over the rescuers who found him. For some reason he didn't have most of his hair when he came off the street, but it's mostly grown back. He's got a beautiful shiny black coat now with a fancy white ruffle at his neck and a couple peekaboo white spots under his armpits. He loves toys, food, treats and snuggles. Oh, and don't forget the cat nip! He's a happy, healthy guy looking for a home that matches his energy level.

Cricket needs a new home. I need to spend weeks on end in another location and can’t arrange reliable care for her when I’m gone. She’s a good cat, but does not use the litter box consistently. Hoping someone else can give her the love and attention she deserves.
