Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Gaby for more information about this pet.May 2026- Scarlett's current caretaker has experienced some personal issues and she is unable to continue to care for this chubby princess so 8 year old Scarlett is in need of another home.  Scarlett is VERY sweet and mildmannered.  She is currently on a weight loss program and doing very well.  Her bloodwork looks great and she just had a full dental.  This sweet girl is a bit shy initially but once she settles in she loves to be brushed and is a lovely companion.   2024: Scarlett, formerly Calla, is a chubby 6 year old spayed female in need of a new home after the loss of her beloved caretaker.    Scarlett has been through a lot of changes recently and now needs a loving new home.  Although she previously lived with several other cats in the past, her family thinks that she may also enjoy being an only cat where she can be your one and only.   My story:   My name is Scarlett.  I was born in a feral colony 5 years ago.  I was rescued when I was a kitten.  I was adopted by my human mom and brought to her home where I lived peacefully with four “”brothers.”     My human mom was wonderful.  She fed us, gave us toys to play with, cat treats to climb and windows to look at to see squirrel tv.  She also showered us with unconditional and lavish love.     One day things changed.  Our human mom slept a lot and when she wasn’t sleeping she was resting in her recliner.  Her daughters started spending a lot of time with us and when they were not there people called Brother’s, sisters, cousins and friends came to stay with us.   Our wonderful home because very confusing and scary.      One day things got very strange.  Human mom wasn’t there and the sisters, brother, cousins and friends were there.  They were wearing dark clothing, hugging each other, making funny noises and their eyes were leaking.  I never saw my human mom again.    Then one of the cousins packed me up and took me from my home and brought me to Arlington VA.  She is very nice.  She feeds me, scratches my back (I really love it when she uses the wire brush because I have an under coat that needs to be combed out), rubs my tummy and other things I like.  I have been getting used to her and coming to love her.      I wish I could say the same thing about my step-sister.  We just don’t get along.  Cousin says things between us are getting worse not better.  Step-sister is very anxious and we fight a lot.  Cousin says I should be able to fit in because I had Brother’s but something just doesn’t work.     So I need a new place to go, maybe forever or maybe for an interminable time while my forever home and human are located. Are you the person who can help me?  Calla is one of 3 kittens found in Lancaster Pa.  Her siblings, Lily and Tiger, were trapped together and transferred to The Cat Shack for foster care, socialization and rehoming.  Calla, was trapped a few days later and is now in foster care with her siblings.  The mother cat will be TNR'd when she is trapped as well.  Calla has been tested (neg for FIV/Felv), dewormed, spayed, and is up to date on all vaccinations, including Rabies.

Story
Milo was found as a stray by a good samaritan and he went through the TNR program and returned back to the person who found him as she wanted to keep him.10 months later, they have fallen on hard times and can no longer afford so many cats. They called me to ask if I could keep or foster him and I was happy to because this little guy is such a sweetheart 🥰He really likes cats and did get well with his three brothers and sistersHe does well with my senior dog who is very very relaxed Not sure he'd love a hyper dog thoughHe reads cat signals very well and is very respectful of boundaries. I would keep him in a heartbeat but my resident cat is not a fanWill be microchipped before adoption. Vet reference is required for adoption.

Story
We have had our cat fin for the last five years but had our first born son 1.5 years ago and taking care of the cat and baby at the same time have become challenging. Just recently Fin pounced and attacked our baby and scratched him along with his aunt who was holding him when my wife and I were in another room. This is the first time the cat has ever acted even remotely this way. He has always been a very friendly cat who loves cuddles and to be out with the people. He usually greets visitors and meows a hello to them. We really love Fin but want him to go to another home out of an abundance of safety. We are going away for the next week and have neighbors cat-sitting him. But we would be ready to have Fin be picked up for adoption as early as July 11th.*For dietary needs, he prefers wet cat food.
