Story
I adopted Zilly (originally named Godzilla) from my local shelter when she was about 6 months old. She’s now 3 years old and her birthday is sometime in July (i gave her 7/9/22 as a birthday). She’s a mostly chill girl does t cuddle much but like to follow me around stay pretty close. She needs someone to cling to. She likes to play with toys and boxes and bags. I moved with my sister who has a cat but she’s not very fond of other cats so she has phases where she pees outside of the litter box. So her new home should be cat free. I’m stuck with my sister so I can’t keep Zilly anymore. I just want to find her a loving home. She’s used to it just being me and her brother (Koop my pit bull), so maybe a family with no kids would be best for her. I’m happy to provide some of her toys.

Logan is a very sweet cat, good with kids and affectionate. I’ve had Logan since he was a baby and my kids were 4 and 8. They are all older now and he is still great with them. Loves to play and sun bathe and adapts easily to change. He loves treats and is very good at finding them!

Bonded Sister Cats Looking for a New Loving Home (Montgomery County, MD) Must stay together; 1 year old Meet our two sweet sister cats; a bonded female pair, born October 2024.

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.
