Story
An old friend gifted me two kittens, brothers from the same litter, about five years ago. Since they've been in my care, both have lived incredibly happy lives, as they are relentlessly curious. A few months ago, one began expressing hostility toward Hades, despite a half decade living harmoniously; consequently, Hades can no longer be around his brother. Irrespective of their sibling rivalry, Hades remains uniquely himself when separate: unbelievably affectionate, calm, low maintenance, and desiring of love. He demands consistent attention, but has no problem relaxing on the couch next to you either. Moreover, he is eager to meet strangers, and welcoming of human presence. Hades deserves a loving home where he can freely be the warm cat I know he is!

Zuko is a social, vocal cat who is looking for an adopter who can give him lots of attention. He is around 1 year old. He loves human interaction, but does not do too well with other cats. He is great with the litter box and learns tricks easily. He already knows how to sit and paw. If you have any questions or would like to set up a meet, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Story
Hi, I am Mu! We got Mu in 2022 from a very loving home where she was the sole cat for 6 years. We have had our other kitty since 2016 and we all thought with time and Jackson Galaxy’s tips they would become friends. Unfortunately, Mu picks big fights and is very dominant with Rossetti. We moved in Jan and the aggression Mu has towards our other cat has worsened. She’s been separated into her own room since April but I can tell she’s depressed, she won’t play anymore. She deserves to be in a house all her own without the fear of seeing another cat. She can be very affectionate when alone and has opened up to us a lot. She will set boundaries with you and is not very cuddly. But she’s gorgeous and full of personality. She loves food more than anything in the world. She has a ton to say when hungry and has the funniest meow. Mu can be a bit moody so I also do not recommend kids or dogs for her. If you want a great cat that will look pretty and sleep all day, she’s your girl!

Story
Leche was given to me from a close friend. He went from being rescued, to being a hospital cat, to finding a home, and now do to financial issues, we had to downsize to a smaller space. I would hate to keep him in a smaller room forever. He deserves a home where he has space to roam around and be active. unfortunately thats not something i can give right now. Leche is a nervous kitty, but is a curious one and playful. especially with other cats. it is better for him to be in a quiet home with no kids or dogs that bark constantly. he does well with other cats and dogs but of course it will take time to adjust. He LOVES to eat. he is a graze eater. He has gone outdoors, supervised. he loves being outdoors but gets scared easily. loves windows, and he loves sleeping on those cat hammocks. if you would like to know more about him, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.

Story
Cloud is very formal and mild-mannered, acquired at 2 months old from operation paws. He is gray and white tuxedo. He loves to cuddle in your lap and is affectionate. He is not pushy when hungry and will sit and wait. I have to give him up because I have COPD and the dander irritates my condition. I would want him to go to a loving home. He grew up with another cat Leo and would love to have them both adopted to the same home.

Story
Chubby is a gorgeous British Short Hair young boy who we are thrilled to have in our rescue. He was probably bred, then when the family was tired of him, they left him on the street. People that have or have met a British Short Hair cat just love them. Chubby is also a gem. Chubby has the most gorgeous light coat with the cutest grey tip on his tail. His blue eyes sparkle. He is so friendly and sweet. He is also playful and gets along with all cats. We would like to see Chubby adopted into a home with another dog or cat. He has not been tested on kids, but with his personality, he should do fine. Fostered in Fairfax, VA.
