American Shorthair kittens & cats in Laurel, Maryland

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.

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 💛

My daughter brought me two brother cats because my daughter's boyfriend is allergic. Misha and Merce are from the same litter, but Misha is much bigger. He looks stronger, but he is shy and nervous and quite timid. He follows Merce around! I think he would be happy in a quiet home without children or other pets.

DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Maggie is 10yo, weighs 7lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, is microchipped, and is FeLV/FIV negative, as her veterinary records will substantiate.  Maggie's guardian adds:  "She dislikes dogs, scared of new people in the home, gets nervous when you touch her unexpectedly, and does not like to be picked up or held.  During car rides, she often meows and cries, but is okay in a crate in the car." Maggie's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her:  "She does not do well with other pets and has started peeing outside her litter box.  We have tried everything to prevent her from peeing outside the litter box, but no changes.  We think she will do better as an only pet in a calm environment." Maggie's guardian states the following regarding children:  Maggie doesn't live with children, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with children, stating "She is very timid and usually hides when new people come to the house.  She has never interacted with anyone below the age of 18". Maggie's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Maggie lives with a dog, but her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, stating "She is very fearful and wants her space.  Anytime our dog gets near her she will hiss to try to get him away from her including chasing him, growling, and even scratching if he gets too close.  When he is not in her bubble, they get along fine". Maggie's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Maggie lives with a cat, but her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats, stating "She does well with our other cat; they play together, sleep together, eat together, etc.  But, she did not take to him for almost a year and having a new animal in the house is what started her peeing outside the litter box.  So while they get along wonderfully now, the behavioral peeing has not stopped". Maggie's guardian describes her as: Couch potato Quiet Playful Friendly Shy Likes to be touched Affectionate Independent Nervous House-Trained Likes men Likes women Maggie's guardian describes her ideal future home: "The best home for Maggie would be with an older couple or a single person who is home often and is fine with only having one cat.  This person is willing to play with her every day (she loves strings, like soft measuring tapes, as toys) and will give her love and treats often, as she is very affectionate, but timid.  They are experienced with cats and have a good routine that they can stick to most days, if not every day."
