Story
Princess may be 17 years old, but she doesn't look a day over 8! She has a cute figure, a cute-as-a-button face, and a fabulous purr. And she enjoys chasing wand toys in addition to taking her senior naps. She also enjoys being petted, sitting in a sunny spot, getting brushed, and eating treats! She'd make a great companion for anyone looking for a mellow kitty. As an added bonus, if you're over 50, Princess's adoption fee is waived as part of the Boomer's Buddies program! Standard adoption procedures apply. If you'd like to meet Princess, please send an email to terrydee.dc@gmail.com.

Story
Charlene is a sweet and bold little tabby looking for her forever home! At 9 months old she was found as a stray and brought to HRA. But looking at her curled up on her favorite sunny chair or listening to her demand chin scratches you'd never guess what she's been through! Everyday she shares more of her funny and cuddly personality and when you look into those big green eyes it's hard not to fall in love! While Charlene is very comfortable around people, she becomes very uncomfortable even at the sound of dogs on tv so a pup free home would be best. If you think this sweet little lady is right for you reach out to set up a virtual meet up today! To meet me, please contact my foster family at jegriffin@me.com!

Story
Ooh la la! If you're looking for a beautiful lady with lots of savoir faire Frenchie's your woman. According to the dictionary, savoir faire means being adaptable and having good social behavior. That fits madame Frenchie to a T. She's lived a long and happy life with adults and cats and is a lap-loving kind of lady. Sadly, her owner could no longer keep her, so now Frenchie is looking for a loving home where she can spend her golden years in peace and happiness. This senior lady would love to keep you company, so please come to meet her. As an added bonus, if you're over 50, her adoption fee is waived as part of the Boomer's Buddies program. Standard adoption procedures apply. To meet Frenchie, email celiamcallister@hotmail.com.

Story
Hello from Wink! Wink is a playful boy, who loves nothing more than pouncing on his beloved Wonk, except for maybe snugglingdown for a sunshine snooze (with Wonk of course). Wink and Wonk are the Odd Couple of the 21st century. This dynamic duo are still working on coming out of their shells but already show strong signs of granting full permission for snuggles. Wink and Wonk are five years old, in a serious committed relationship with one another, and it's unclear how they feel about dogs. They make for excellent quarantine companionship and would love to make your home theirs today! Email northwestcathouse@gmail.comto schedule a virtual meet and greet. You can adopt two for the price of one, and as an added bonus, if you're over 50, my adoption fee is waived as part of the Boomer's Buddies program! Standard adoption procedures apply.

Story
My name is ‘Ladybug' and I am true to my symbolic name: One who brings good fortune and prosperity, leading a vibrant and colorful life. I have, and continue to lead, a full and prosperous life. I may be senior in age, but full of love and affection at heart! I stay close by my foster mom all the time, and love the head and ear rubs as much as I can get them. I fully enjoy meeting new people and spending as much time with my humans as possible. My vibrant colors will match any loving home. If you want a gentle, relaxed, and doting companion, I am the one fur you. And if you are over 50, my adoption fee is waived as part of HRA's Boomer's Buddies program (standard adoption procedures apply). Feel free to contact my foster Mercedes C. Huffman at: huffstuff@verizon.net if you think I would be ‘purfect' in your loving home!
