Peppers (9234388)

Hey you, my name is Peppers! I'm about a 1 and a half year old jet-black boy and I was surrendered by my owner because I accidentally scratched a couple people one day and they just didn't want to take care of me anymore. :(

I'm actually a really nice, big and handsome tom cat, and I just love everyone! I'm always in the mood to explore, and when I'm not doing that I'm happily relaxing in your lap as you pet me. I would be happy in any home as long as I get plenty of love (and scratching posts!).

Midnight (9538956)

Hi, I’m Midnight! I’m a 4 year old medium hair girl and I'm in the shelter because my elderly owner moved into a senior care facility where she couldn't bring me along. :(

I'm a very friendly, social guy and I get along well with other cats! I'm almost always in the mood to snuggle, I enjoy being petted, and I'm very tolerant of everything (even when I'm not in the mood). Because I'm a little older, I'd really be a fantastic first cat or in the home of someone with a more laidback lifestyle. Come down and meet me today!

Kia (9585846)

Hi, I'm Kia! I'm a super sweet 1 year old mediumhair girl and I'm in the shelter because my owner just put me out into the hallway of her apartment complex when she didn't want me anymore. :(

I'm a very gentle, kind girl who takes a moment to warm up to new folks and new situations, but once I do I'm your best friend for life! I do enjoy playtime, but I'm happiest when relaxing in the lap of the one I love and just purring away. Can I come home with you today?!

Stacy (9612390)

Hi there, I'm Stacy! I'm a 1 year old tuxedo-colored gal and I’m in the shelter because - well it's kind of a crazy story! I think my owners let me out when they didn't want me anymore and somehow I got stuck in the wall of an apartment building in SE DC. I was very thirsty and stressed and I’m so happy that I'm out of there now thanks to some amazing WHS Animal Control Officers!!

I'm a friendly girl with lots of love to give! I get along well with most everyone, find a unique balance of playtime and snuggletime, and once I bond with you I'm a real purr machine. So come down and meet me today! :)

Stimpy (9579688)

Hi there, my name is Stimpy! I'm a 2 year old male short hair/medium hair Tiger and I’m in the shelter because... Actually I’m not sure, I just remember it was cold, there was a lot of snow outside, and I was in the hallway of my owner's apartment building with no owner in sight! :(

I’m a real cool kitty. I love to relax, be petted, and lounge around. There is a time and place for mice (or stuffed mice) chasing and just being goofy, but my most satisfied moments are when I'm being petted and dozing off, preferably in your lap! I get along well with other kitties an I am pretty tolerant and acceptive of everyone in general. Can I come home with you today, pretty please?

Mocha (9608706)

Hi there, my name is Mocha! I am a 2 year old shorthair female and I (like many it seems!) was surrendered by my owner because she was moving to a home that doesn't allow cats. (sigh... )

I'm a very talkative, friendly girl with a moderate energy level who is always in the mood to snuggle! I'm really the best of both worlds - I love to play and just be goofy, AND I really enjoy just relaxing next to you as you shower me in face and neck rubs. I seem to get along well with other cats and I can entertain myself if left alone for a while. Who could ask for anything more in a new best friend?!

Brice (9519143)

Hi, I'm Brice! I'm a 2 year old male shorthair Tiger and I was found relaxing on a woman's porch all day, hoping she'd take me in and make me her own!

I'm really a sweet guy who loves to talk and has a lot of love to give! I enjoy people and happily (and loudly) purr when you give me some love! I can be a biter, so I'd do best in an experienced cat home where someone is willing to work with me on this. I really do love to snuggle and listen to you tell me you love me. I do still like to play, but am most satisfied relaxing next to you at the end of a long day. Paradise!

Hi, I'm Libbie! I'm a 6 month old Calico beauty and I was found in the crawlspace of an aparment building, hungry and tired :(

I'm a shy girl who is a little overwhelmed in her new shelter surroundings. I'm a sensitive soul, so I'd be happiest (and healthiest) in a quiet, laidback home where I'm given plenty of time to adjust.

I'm a 1 year old Tiger who really really wants to nuzzle my head in your lap and purr away. :) I was found stuck out on a balcony in the cold, crying to get in, and I had a lot of flea bites on me.

Alexis (9813463)

Hi, I'm Alexis! I'm a 5 year old gray female Tabby and I'm in the shelter because my owner just didn't want me anymore. :( I don’t understand because I'm a really friendly, affectionate gal!

I just adore people and I'm always in the mood to snuggle and be by your side. I get along well with other kitties, enjoy face rubs tremendously, and love relaxing and enjoying the day and the sun. Don’t get me wrong, I can still spring to action when necessary, but I'm at the age where snuggletime is my number one priority!

Mamasita (9323215)

I'm an independent, curious gal. I get along well with most other kitties, especially if they recognize that I’m "top cat!" I'm very smart and sassy, and once I really get to know you I enjoy snuggling with you from time to time as well. Come down and meet me today!

Mommy & Papa (9987332 & 9987361)

Hi there, we're Mommy (stretching out!) and Papa (sitting up!), an 8 month old brother/sister pair! We're in the shelter because our owner was moving to a home that doesn't allow cats. :( Though we'd prefer to be adopted as a pair, we'd do fine individually as well.

We're both super friendly, easygoing kitties, with Papa being slightly more outgoing. We really enjoy people and playtime but are also equally content relaxing with each other (or you!!) on the couch. The shelter staff calls us a "dynamic duo," so please come by and meet us today! :)

Trap (9776626)

Hi, I'm Trap! I'm a 3 year old male Tiger and I'm in the shelter because my owner moved to a no-pets apartment. :(

I'm a very curious, affectionate guy who just craves affection from people. I don't mind other kitties - some are really very cool - but I must admit being partial to humans! I have a pretty, soft coat, a unique color pattern on my nose, and a lot of love to give. Let's go home today and make beautiful music together!

Smokey Robinson (9545394)

Hi, there, my name is Smokey Robinson and I'm going to sing my way into your heart! Ok, purr my way into your heart! I'm a 2 year old longhair kitty and I was found wandering around Bay Street in SE DC, looking for my motown friends or my new forever family. :)

I'm a very friendly, calm, social guy. I get along well with other cats, like relaxing and observing things going on around me, and of course getting lots of face rubs and baby talk. Because of my easgoing nature I'd probably make a great "starter" cat, but I know I'll be happy and content just about anywhere!

Manny (9436157)

Hi, I'm Manny! I'm a uniquely adorable boy and I'm in the shelter because I was abandoned in the hallway of an apartment building in which my owners used to live. :(

I'm a shy guy who is a little overwhelmed in his new shelter surroundings but I'm slowly coming out of my shell! Once I get to know you, I loosen up and really enjoy affection from you, and I'll happily purr away to show my joy. I'd do best in a more laidback forever home where I'm given plenty of time to get cozy and comfortable.
