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!

Story
Meet Tortellini! This handsome girl is a "purr monster"! She is a gorgeous tortie colored (extremely soft) girl who likes to play and LOVES to cuddle even more; she purrs non-stop when she sees you and especially when held. While this bright-eyed girl with the pink nose is very curious, she settles down nicely to hang in her bed; she loves to curl up with her brother Greyson! She is up to date on vaccinations, and litter box trained. Given her young age and playful nature, Tortellini would like to be adopted into a home with another similar age kitty (or with her brother Greyson!). Are you willing to swish the fishing pole toy for this sweet, gentle gal? The adoption fee for this cat is $175 ($300 for a pair) 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., which helps with the cost of routine vet care. Tortellini is age appropriate vaccinated, negative for FelV/FIV/HW and ready to find her furever home today! For more information, please email rturner@petconnectrescue.org ***Please note that the first step in the process is to complete our nonbinding application (it does not commit you in any way, but allows us to help you to find a great match). Our application review process also includes a veterinary reference check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives (if applicable) and examined annually by your vet.*** 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
Rashita is a rescued cat from the shelter, we got her 7 years ago. She was very scared when we got her as a kitten she was a strayed cat before getting to the shelter . At only 8 weeks old we adopted her and has been with us since we are the only family she knows or has been. Although she’s is very scared of the outdoors she loves to peak her head out to watch the birds chirp in the mornings . We have a dog that is 12 now and their relationship hasn’t been the best. Rashita has her own room with her litter and food all to her self she’s very to her self doesn’t like people hides when we have visitor. Her only major problem is . She pees on beds sofa and anything she finds on the floor from time to time. I attribute this to anxiety or anger towards to dog or whenever she misses a bit of food or water. Never goes a day without eating and pees in her litter daily . We don’t know what else to do. Maybe is the dog the kids or us she doesn’t like n would enjoy a solo family instead.

These pups are in Herndon, Virginia too!
