Story
These two boys have been my companions since they were tiny kittens, and it breaks my heart to say goodbye. Milo (black & white, 5 yrs) and Shy (all black, 4 yrs) are deeply bonded and must stay together — they’re truly each other’s comfort. They’re both gentle, loving, and endlessly loyal. They follow you from room to room, curl up nearby, and greet you at the door. They’ve never hissed or bitten anyone — just two sweet souls who love being near their person. Milo is the quieter one. He’s shy with guests and loves hiding under cozy blankets, but once he trusts you, he melts for attention. Shy is the social butterfly. Despite his name, he’s outgoing, affectionate, and will look right into your heart. He’s also a little talker and loves human company. Because Shy had kidney stones a few years ago, both eat IAMS Urinary Tract Health dry food and are doing great. Unfortunately, I’ve developed allergies and can’t give them the cuddles they crave. I’m hoping to find a loving home.

Story
Ash is a gray/blue female kitten and she lovesss playtime and treats! She especially loves scratching on her tree. Ash was gifted to us by another family member due to them having an infant, Ash would jump at the infants hands being playful and that’s when they gave her away. Ash has been living a quiet indoor life with me and my 2 other female cats, they are occasionally let out on the balcony and they enjoy birdwatching so much. Shes very hyper and does not understand when her sisters dont want to play and they wrestle a lot or hide from her. I believe shes lonely and need more playtime, she meows at my door for the whole night to let her in but then she wants to get in and out and meows again and again, we struggle to sleep a full night. We let her in but she just wants to play or make muffins. We absolutely love our cats but it is time we let Ash go, to a better home :( Ash is very friendly and spontaneous, definitely not a lap cat but always nearby.

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!

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.

These cats are in Manassas, Virginia too!

Black Velvet lives with her sister Skittle, and they are both solid black, but 'Velvet' has an old scar on her head. Rescued near Manassas, she and her sister are learning to trust humans in a safe place, and she is beginning to make progress. You can pet her and she is food motivated so that helps in her trust department. She would be a project cat that you will most certainly be able to make progress when she gets to her forever home.
