Story
Bear and Sunshine are twins who are 3 years old and born on May 27th 2020. Bear is a male and a mostly black cat. He is very playful and slightly dramatic. He loves to cuddle and is a great little cat. He goes outside for about an hour a day to explore and play. He is very good will meeting new people and is very social and loves little kids. Sunshine (sunny) is a Female Brown cat that is very sweet. She is a little more shy but is super nice to everyone. She loves to be pet and play around. She does not like to go outside but enjoys fresh air. They both don't hunt and are all together very gentle creatures. They both play with each other and don't require to much attention. Once you get used to them they really are the best cats and i am sure their new owners will love them very much.

Story
Porter and Theodore are 3 year old bonded brothers that have never been separated!! They are SO cuddly, playful and loving. They play gently and love being around people. They are clicker trained, healthy and honestly too smart for their own goods! Porter is leash trained and loves walks outside and Theodore loves snuggles by the fire (or really anytime) and is very food motivated. They eat wet and dry food, do not like pine pellet litter, hate being apart, love the laser pointer and high spots to watch you , playing fetch and oddly enough straws! I am looking for a loving home that will take both boys and will look at them as family members. I have to re-home them due to new onset allergies that are making a new medical condition worse and because of the type of medicine I am on, I am not eligible for the allergy shots and I will be on this medicine for the rest of my life. It breaks my heart as these little guys have been my companions since they were 3 months old.

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.

Story
Seeking a Loving Home for Two Wonderful Cats - James and Alice. I am on a heartfelt mission to find a new, loving forever home for my two cherished cats, James (affectionately known as James Bond) and his sister Alice (Alice in Wonderland). James, an 8-year-old charmer, has a big heart and enjoys nothing more than to curl up on your lap (or strategically position himself on your feet) to purr contentedly. His sister, Alice, shares his affectionate nature and together, they make the ultimate companion duo. James and Alice are indoor cats who have been treasured members of our family, receiving the utmost care and attention. They were rescued as kittens and have since been living a pampered life filled with love and comfort. It is with a heavy heart that we seek a new home for them, due to circumstances beyond our control. We are looking for a pet owner who understands the responsibility and joy of caring for cats. It is crucial that James and Alice are adopted together.

Story
In bustling Boston, I met Sammy at an animal shelter when she was just 8 months old. Now at 4, she's seeking a new, serene home, ideally without other pets and in a single-person household. Sammy's dual nature is unique: she shows a standoffish attitude towards strangers and dislikes other animals. However, when alone with her human, she transforms into an affectionate companion, craving attention and closeness. Describing Sammy, words like independent, aloof, yet incredibly needy and loving come to mind. Her story underscores the special, deep bond pets share with their humans, thriving best in a peaceful, undivided environment.
