Story
I adopted Cher after her previous owner, a good friend of mine, suddenly passed away some years ago. I was 16 at the time and had no clue that I would one day need to rehome her. Her birthday is March 8th, and she was found under a truck when she was a kitten. I love Cher immensely, so it has taken me a long time to accept that I can’t give her the life she deserves anymore. She has been diagnosed with FIC, feline idiopathic cystitis, and tends to pee outside the litterbox when she is stressed. Because of this, I keep her on a pure canned salmon diet, which is pretty inexpensive. She needs lots of love to keep her stress down.

Story
I am part of a bonded pair with my brother Maxwell: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/46727396-washington-district-of-columbia-cat Tigerlily (Lily) is a very loving, but shy and skittish cat. I got her when she was 6 months old and she will be turning 10 in March. In the past few years she developed an unknown allergy and requires specialty food. Aside from the occasional ear infection, she is in great spirits. When her allergies were particularly bad, she lost the hair on the back of her ears and it never grew back. She doesn't seem to mind and it's kind of adorable. I am having to rehome her brother (Maxwell, also listed) due to ongoing medical costs and she is bonded with him so I would like to find a home to take the both of them together. Preferably a quieter home due to how nervous Lily is. She has gained some weight in the past few months due to us moving back to the East Coast, as she hides under the bed mostly, only coming out for food and bathroom time.

Story
This sweet, silly, and "Sassy Man" is looking for a home of his own with no other pets or kids. He's a shy guy with anxiety who would love a pet parent(s) who can relate, and show him patience. He's made HUGE strides, and I know as an only pet he would blossom! He lets me give him kisses now and is close to being OK with getting picked up. This obviously former house cat arrived at my door in Nov 2023. He was emaciated and wasn't going to make it. I started feeding him, fell in love with him, and brought him inside. Sassafras had perineal urethrostomy surgery in Dec 2024 after a bad feline lower urinary tract disease episode. That, a urinary tract diet, and being separated from my other cats, has resolved his issues. I have 3 cats and he is bullied by one of them. Yes, I've "tried it all" and nothing has worked. For his health, I keep him separated, but it breaks my heart and I know he misses sleeping on my bed and being out and about in the house.

Story
Rehoming my cat, he does not get along with other animals (tolerates them) but ultimately fights with dogs and cats and is quite territorial. Black Male ~5 years old, 10-13lbs Neutered, microchipped Requires Urinary Prescription Diet** (i can give you the prescription), up to date on Rabies and FVRCP Vaccines. The cat is super cuddly and gets along well with humans. Doesnt freak out if he’s picked up or in a carrier. Isn’t really a troublemaker in terms of house etiquette, just has a history of bladder infection and a kidney blockage (hence the prescription diet). He truly just needs to be in a home by himself to be happy.
