Story
I am moving to another state and unfortunately I cannot bring Olive with me. Olive is very friendly and cuddly. She is young so will need some play time. I adopted her from a shelter in West Virginia, and came declawed, so not sure if she can get along with another cat.

BONDED * must be kept together. Zevy (orange) is very sweet, trusting and affectionate. Adopted him as a kitten but want a foster for him for a few months as I am in the process of moving. He is young as his bday was April 2025. Updated shots, enjoys Churru treats x1 daily. Litter box trained, enjoys sunbathing, outdoor time and play. Loves gravied wet food twice a day and 24Hr dry kibbleGrayson has the same diet as Zevy and is a bit more on the shyer side. He is protective and would follow and sleep by me nightly.This is a foster situation and I’d like to stay in touch, provide and visit them, for the duration of 2-3 months.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
OJ is a female (rare per vet) orange tabby with amber eyes rescued from outside and will be 10 mos. old June 2. She has been with me in basement for approx. 3+ months & no accidents w/litter box. Was pregnant when spayed so will likely remain small, now under 7 pounds. Current on all shots, chipped and parasite free. Plays by herself but comes often for petting & jumps in lap while purring loudly - such a lover!  My cat (old, mean & twice OJ’s size) hisses & growls at OJ but OJ never seems to tire of trying to be friends w/her (they’re separated by a gate) so I think she would love to have a furry friend. When I lock Lucy in upstairs, OJ joyfully explores the rec room. Willing to waive fee posted for a good fit with new owner. Carrier, litter box & toys come with her. OJ’s lively but probably shy at first since I’m the only person she’s been around consistently, so patience needed while she adjusts, which I expect will be pretty quick because she’s curious, loves playing & attention.

Story
Meet Luna, a gentle soul with a heart of gold. While she might start off as a cautious, wide-eyed observer, her shy exterior hides a deep well of affection. Once she realizes she’s in safe hands, Luna transforms from a 'scaredy-cat' into a purring bundle of excitement. She is the ultimate reward for a patient friend—a loyal companion who just wants to soak up all the love you have to give.

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Washington, DC Little lady Marble Loaf will need a vet visit as she is a very sweet and friendly outdoor kitty currently. We TNRed her in November (spay and basic vaccines/one of her ears is clipped but it blends in) and would love to get her adopted before we move at the end of May. She would do great in a household but needs a little care to make sure she adjusts to indoor litterbox use (when we TNRed, she used a litterbox in our bathroom during her short after care period) and take care of additional vaccines needed as basic beginning care for a pet cat. As you can see in the photos, she is curious and wants to be pet by humans. She runs down the block just for pets from us when we come home. Please ask away for any questions.
