Story
Lucy and Ethel are sisters that I rescued 10 years ago when they were kittens. They lived outdoors and weren't well cared for. They are super sweet cats and I just hate the thought of rehoming them. As I age my allergies for pet dander has gotten extremely worse, intolerable. I started doing allergy shots and have gotten no relief. They still have their claws and are strictly indoor cats. They have to stay together! They typically hide when a visitor comes. They tolerate my grandkids but are used to a quiet home. Ethel has to be on rx dry food diet. I'm so concerned about finding a loving home, that I will donate several bags of food just for peace of mind and her care. I have the paperwork on all their shots and microchipping.

Story
Meet Fez, with his striking Asian Blue Tabby coat he's a vision of beauty. At just one year old, he's mastered the art of relaxation, basking in the warmth of the sun and delighting in playful antics with toys or fellow companions. His affection knows no bounds as he purrs contentedly by your side, craving nothing more than your companionship. He loves to be around you while you work in your office and will want to paw at your screen chasing the courser helping you work.  Whether it's mingling with the family dog, entertaining kids, or bonding with other cats, Fez's friendly nature knows no bounds. His athleticism adds a touch of grace to his every move. Fez is living the good life after a rough start in which he battled and beat FIP (feline infectious peritonitis). He's cured and should not require additional treatments. With his golden-yellow eyes gleaming in the sunlight, Fez's round face adds to his irresistible charm. Fastidious in grooming, Fez takes pride in his pristine appearance. But Fez is not just a handsome face, when mealtime arrives, get ready for a display of pure joy as Fez gracefully dances around your feet, eagerly anticipating the feast ahead. Fez isn't just a cat; he's become a beloved family member to his foster family. And now he's ready to bring warmth and joy into your home.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Bella is a 4 month old female kitten (estimated birthday is 3/22/24) who is looking for an adoptive home, ideally with another cat who can show her the ropes. Bella is very shy but loves food and treats which is how her foster mom gets her to come to her for attention. Because of how shy Bella is around people, she is a candidate for a barn cat or working cat of some type. If she is adopted as an indoor-only domesticated cat, her adopter needs to be understanding of what it means to care for a shy cat. Bella is being fostered with her sister Inky, and brother Bob, and can be adopted with either of them or on her own. The adoption fee for this kitten is $175, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. A $125 spay/neuter deposit is required at time of adoption. This fee covers spay/neuter at one of PetConnect's preferred veterinary partners. If the adopter chooses to use their own veterinarian, the deposit will be returned with proof of sterilization. For more information, please email kbuckner@petconnectrescue.org Cats adopted through PetConnect Rescue must be indoor only, and may not be declawed (unless already declawed at the time of rescue). **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Story
Leyla's Personality Beauty and brains, sweet and sassy. This little charmer, whose nickname is "Miss Bean," will win you over in no time. Although not a lap cat (so far!), she's always close by laying next to you. Just provide a nice, soft fleece blanket. Leyla is super friendly and enjoys being brushed. She will reward you with soft purrs and gentle head butts. Leyla is becoming more playful each day in her new foster home after all of her six kittens have been adopted. She is learning to be a kitten again after giving being a mom at just 9 months of age. Leyla goes nuts over a catnip-filled pillow. She showed off her first "zoomies" around the house the other day. And she chases just about anything that moves. Miss Bean won't wake you up for breakfast, but waits until you pet her while she stands on your chest, giving you the days loudest purr. She loves to sleep on a soft blanket on the bed at night and occasionally chases your toes under the covers. Her favorite things are catnip toys, getting brushed and showing off her trick sitting on command for treats. If Leyla can’t find you, she lets out a little meow, and comes running when you call. She loves people, and is not shy at all. She is a perfect little companion. What Type of Home Leyla Needs This sweet, sassy girl needs a home where people are around for her to hang out with. She is not demanding, but likes to be near people. Leyla likes to be in charge of her territory and needs to be the only pet - no other cats or dogs in her forever home. Leyla can get a little over-stimulated and nip your hands or feet when she feels unsettled - so no young children now or in the future. An older, cat-savvy child would be fine. This behavior has subsided in her new foster home now that she is settled in. Where Leyla Came From Leyla was rescued from outdoors by a kind man who found her abandoned in a park just one week before giving birth to six healthy kittens (all adopted). She was such a sweet, nurturing mama. Now its time for Leyla to have a home of her own.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.

Hi! I am re-homing my 2 cats. My other cat is a black American cat her name is Juju. She is around 7/8 years old. She is spayed and I am asking for a small adoption fee. Juju does not like children or any other pets, she will tolerate them both but it’s best if you dont have children or other pets. Juju is very sweet and loves being the only child. She will follow you around throughout the entire house and wants to be pet all the time. Please message me if you are interested. As much as I love to keep her I just had a newborn and it is hard maintaining her as well as my baby

Story
Hello there, I'm Ms Bigglesworth, a worldly feline with a tale to tell. I've journeyed from Saudi Arabia, a place of mystery and wonder, to here, seeking a new beginning. I am sweet as honey and friendly as a morning sun. My curiosity knows no bounds, yet I carry a gentle touch. I have a mellow demeanor, but don't be fooled, I'm energetic and playful when the mood strikes. I'm smart, yet a bit shy, so it may take a moment for me to warm up to you. But once I do, we'll be the best of friends. Why should you adopt me? Well, I promise to be your faithful companion, your confidante, and your source of joy. I'll bring a touch of adventure to your life, and a whole lot of love. Very chatty Good with cats older kids If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.
