American Shorthair kittens & cats in District of Columbia

Sassy, energetic, playful, and cuddly Puckett is a 3 year old all white American short-hair that enjoys indoor and outdoor living. He is very social and loves to make friends with every human visitor. Puckett does well with kids and has been exposed to all ages from 6 months to 2 year olds, is neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations, and is well trained with his litter box and has never marked or urinated outside of his box. Things he likes: going outside, walking on a leash, playing chase, laser pointers, anything with bells, all things chicken flavored, and being right beside you at all times. Things he dislikes: loud noises from pans, long car rides, other dogs and cats, going to the vet (he has required sedation for shots due to being afraid), being kept inside, and having his nails clipped (although he tolerates). I highly recommend Puckett be kept as an only "child" due to territorial tendencies. He is the sweetest little guy and would love to be your friend!

We were super excited to adopt Squanchy! He was a perfect little black kitten. We discovered him on Craigslist. Initially, he was found on a golf course with two litter mates, whom ultimately, he was separated from. He is about three years old, and he is very sweet at times. Though he is loved, he is very difficult when it comes to spraying. We've taken all of the steps that are reasonable. His "spots" have been enzyme cleaned and deodorized, his box is scooped regularly. The problem is that we live in the city, and there is a colony of feral cats in our community. There is one in particular (we call him Turtle), that hangs around A LOT. Despite our greatest efforts, we cannot stop Squanchy from marking one area in particular. Clearly, this is an aggressive behavior towards Turtle, but there is nothing we can do to stop Turtle, therefore we cannot stop Squanchy. Ideally, we are looking for a home that would be able to provide him another cat, mostly in an outdoor setting.

Twiggy & Simon have been together almost since birth although they are not from the same litter. They are loving and kid-friendly. They like to cuddle. One will literally let you do anything to him without protest. They other seeks out love all the time.

Twiggy and Simon are 3.5 years old. They have lived together basically since birth although they are not from the same litter. They are kid-friendly and loving. Twiggy loves to sit on people's laps and get tons of love. Simon will basically let you do anything to him without protest. They are both easy going and beautiful.

Both Doom (Male, deep chocolate brown with yellow/green eyes - 10 years old) and Cora (Female, gray with blue eyes - 10 years old) are super friendly indoor kitties. They love to communicate and get cuddles. Cora and Doom are very affectionate and enjoy hopping into your lap to get your love and attention. They are great with kids and are both extremely patient and chill cats. They are vocal but only when they want food or attention. They are good with dogs but fairly territorial with other cats. They have been together their entire lives and we would like them to be rehomed as a pair. We are sad to let them go but will need to because we also have a dog and are about to have a baby in a small apartment. We are looking for a loving new home for Doom and Cora and we just want to be sure that they will be well taken care of as they deserve so much love and a warm, inviting place to live and we know how much joy they will bring you and your home.
