Story
Widget is a smart, affectionate and energetic cat who will be turning 5 this fall. He loves to play- his favorite toys are the laser pointer and a tape measure. He also loves cuddles- but not on your lap, right on your chest near your face! While Widget gets along well with our older cat, he is always ready for more playtime than our older cat can handle. We have a two year old and are having another baby soon, so our busy family just cant give Widget the attention and play sessions he deserves anymore. We are also touched out so dont have much left for cuddles either. Though I will note he has always been good and patient with my son- even when my son has got a fistful of his fur and I have to run to the rescue. We are looking for a loving home where Widget can get the engagement and cuddles that will let his personality shine. The perfect match would be someone with time for regular play and cozy snuggles with this smart, affectionate guy!

Story
Lightning is a former outdoor cat brought inside over 1.5 years ago. He is an older gentleman at almost 13 years old (2/10) but he still has quite a bit of spunk in in his step. He loves bouncing around the room and chasing his tail. Lightning was neglected by a former owner and walks with a slight limp on his left side. He would appreciate a quiet home with no dogs or other cats and a patient owner who will let him snuggle with you on his own terms. **Lightning is neutered, FIV/FeLV/HW negative and is UTD on all vaccines until September 2026. He has no known health issues at this time.**

Story
My family is in need of a good home for Marina! She is about 7 years old. She is skittish but likes a good pet. She doesnt prefer being picked up. She eats crunchy cat food and has no known health issues. She is spayed but has not had shots since the initial ones she had at the PETA Mobile spay clinic. She likes to curl up and sleep in a nice soft spot. I have three small children and she does fine around them, meaning she just keeps out of their reach. She is litter box trained. Marina does well with other cats and small dogs. She has never been around large dogs to know how that would go. She has been inside only due to the location of our house, but would probably love to explore the great outdoors if she had the chance. Small rehoming fee to ensure she gets a loving home. Please share so we can find her the purrrr-fect (🫣) home. Message me for more info, any questions, or if you are interested! *Chesterfield, VA

Waffles is a cat that is very outgoing, affectionate, and cuddly. He loves hanging out with people and playing with toys. He gets along well with dogs, and sometimes other cats. He was adopted 6 years ago from a local animal shelter. Due to expanding our family and needing to downsize, we have to find a new loving home for him.

Meet Aphrodite (aka Afro) a 13-year-old sweetheart! Trying to look for a new home as she's been a foster with us for the past month and a half to 2 months. We acquired her from my boyfriend's friend who became homeless. She is one of two cats we acquired from him and looking to rehome her, because my original younger cat is bullying her. She is not doing well at our home and is in dire need of a safe and loving space. She is very adventurous even at her age and loves the outdoors. She is even trained on leash! She will cuddle you and lay on your feet in bed with you.

Meet Rue! She is a very calm, loving girl. She loves to cuddle and sleep all day and is overall the sweetest kitty you’ll ever meet. We sadly have to rehome this sweet baby because we recently moved into an apartment that doesn’t allow cats and we have a baby on the way very soon and it would be too much having pets at this time.

Hi&#44 Iandamp;#39;m Noonsy. I spent most of my life outdoors&#44 and coming inside was a pretty big change for me. I have learned to appreciate having warm&#44 dry&#44 clean bedding and consistent food&#44 and I am learning how to be brave around people. I am a special little lady who needs a home who will be patient with me while I adjust to this new life.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;
