Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We found Purrcy in April 2024 as an abandoned kitten from a stray litter. He can be very affectionate but mostly prefers his independence. He has had some behavior concerns such as going outside the litterbox and aggression towards our other cat. He enjoys sitting with us but does not like being pet unless he initiates. He purrs very loudly (hence the name) and loves to make biscuits before bed.

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Annie is from Massachusetts. My uncle found her outside the greenhouse of the soldier's home where he lived. He sheltered her in his room, feeding her from a baby bottle. Little Orphan Annie roamed the hallways, meowing at residents and riding the elevator. The men would gift my uncle with toys, treats, and food for their hall mascot. Annie wasn't affectionate with anyone but my uncle, and then only after he'd gone to bed. She'd jump up on his chest, ready for cheek rubs and back pats, purring loudly. My uncle was distraught when the new administration said pets were not allowed. He flew down from Boston with Annie in a carrier, and came to visit her every Thanksgiving. She's lived with me for 11 years. Annie likes to sleep on my bed, sit next to me on the arm of the sofa, and to be petted on her own terms by rubbing her face against my hand. She is vocal, plays with a laser, feather, or pencil; and would thrive in a quiet home where she can bond with 1-4 people.

Moonie McNugget

American Shorthair

Female, 3 yrs 3 mos
Oakton, VA
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Just as the moon was full in the sky, there was a clanging sound: the trap had been triggered. Upon inspection, the trapper was shocked; instead of the intended stray dog, she had caught a pretty little kitty with chicken McNuggets. For obvious reasons, the gray-and-white bicolor cutie was named Moonie McNugget and was sent for spay and vaccinations. Although she was a bit shy, Moonie seemed to be friendly. With ample time for decompression, Moonie McNugget has come out of her shell, seeking out pets and hanging out with the resident cats in her foster home. Moonie could be the center of your universe or join a home with friendly cats--as long as you're willing to give her time to get comfortable. Then, she might even agree to lounge in your shirt pocket!
