Story
Coco is a 3 year old spayed, microchipped tuxedo cat who is playful, affectionate, and full of personality. Rescued as a stray in late 2024, she quickly showed she was no feral; litter trained, sweet, and eager for human contact. I adopted her in April 2025, and she has brought so much joy: chasing toys, darting through tunnels, lounging on her cat tower, and even curling up to sleep on my arm. Coco loves to cuddle on her terms and will let you know with love bites when done. She is energetic, social, and thrives on play and attention. Sadly, despite multiple reintroduction attempts with my resident cat (and help from a behaviorist), Coco has faced ongoing aggression from her housemate. Given her experience and for her happiness and safety, she needs to be the only pet in her new home. Coco is healthy, litter trained, and ready to bring love, fun, and companionship to a patient, cat-savvy adopter who can give her the forever home she deserves.

Story
Say hello to Hilda! This pretty old lady came to us in October of 2025 due to the current pet in the home not accepting her. She is quite the shy girl, preferring to nap away on the top shelf of her kennel — until a tasty treat is offered, that is! Food is the quickest way to her heart, especially in the form of a lickable treat or wet food. Once she warms up to you, Hilda is a sweetheart who likes to cuddle and absolutely loves a good head scratch! She can be fairly vocal about things she likes (and doesn't like) and certainly demands the pampered life she deserves. We have not seen much playful behavior from Hilda, but we suspect she likes to play when no one's watching as her toys are always moved around. In her previous home, it became evident that Hilda prefers a chill life. She'd do best as the only cat in the home or with a male cat companion. We have not seen her with dogs. Hilda is great with respectful, calm children but fearful of younger and louder children. Hilda is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Story
Meow meow was adopted from the Antietam humane society! He does fantastic with children of all ages and loves snuggles and being right by your side. Unfortunately due to a separation and the selling of a house, neither myself nor my ex will be able to take him to our new apartments. He deserves a loving home where cuddles never run short and love is big

Story
Tiki is serving serious resting b face and honestly she owns it. But don’t be fooled by that tiny scowl because this girl is an absolute doll once you get to know her. Tiki is a sweet 4 month old kitten with a big personality packed into a small, fuzzy body. She enjoys attention, plays like a champ, and has that perfect mix of independent and affectionate. She might look unimpressed with the world but she is secretly keeping track of who gives the best pets. Tiki is currently hanging out at our Hoover Petco condos and ready to find her forever home. Her $150 adoption fee covers spay, age appropriate vaccines, microchip, and parasite prevention. If you are into kittens with attitude, charm, and a face that says “I judge but I also cuddle,” Tiki is your girl. Apply at Fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com

Story
Mitzi is one tough, tenderhearted mama with a whole lot of love left to give. She was abandoned and doing her absolute best to keep her kittens alive through cold winter weather. Thanks to an amazing human who stepped in, Mitzi and her family were rescued just in time. Her kittens are busy recovering from pesky respiratory issues and thriving, and now it is mama’s turn to be spoiled. Mitzi is a total sweetheart. She is loving, affectionate, and very people oriented. She enjoys cuddles, gets along well with other cats, and is fully litter box trained. She has that calm, comforting presence that makes a house feel like home and would be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a gentle, loving kitty. Adoption fee is $100 and covers spay, microchip, vaccines, and parasite prevention. Apply at FullCircleRescueAndSanctuary.com
