Sally

American Shorthair

Female, Kitten

Pikesville, MD

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Good with cats,

Story

Sally is a gorgeous striped calico with a stunning patchwork coat. She has three or four colors on her nose alone! Sally and her handsome brother, Eclipse, are part of a litter rescued from a rough Baltimore City neighborhood. Their age at the time of rescue means they will never be running-up-to-people friendly, but both kittens are quietly affectionate with people on their own terms. They can both be difficult to get ahold of, Sally in particular is very skittish, but after a few days to adjust (possibly weeks in an entirely new home), she confidently runs around the house, playing with the other cats and exploring. I once took a nap and found both Eclipse and Sally perched on my legs, purring to beat the band. Though you'd be hard-pressed to pick her up on your own, Sally may become friendly with you given time. This is the kind of cat who will often bond with only one person. Sally would love to be adopted with her brother, Eclipse, and preferably one or more other cats for her to play and snuggle with. This litter has an estimated date of birth of about September 1, 2024. Needs Must Cats have received full vetting including spay or neuter, FIV/FLV testing, microchip, and treatment for parasites. Your adoption donation in the amount of $50 - $175 helps us assist more cats in urgent need.

Good with cats,

Story

Your cat's best friend! Eclipse is a sweet and curious little guy who is skittish around people, but loves to be pet when you get him. More than anything, Eclipse *loves* other cats and should be adopted to be a companion for one or more of your existing cats. He takes immediately to other cats and wants to rub against and play with them without hesitation. Eclipse and his beautiful sister, Sally, are part of a litter rescued from a rough Baltimore City neighborhood. Their age at the time of rescue means they will never be running-up-to-people friendly, but both kittens are quietly affectionate with people on their own terms. They can both be difficult to get ahold of, but don't hide at all, and confidently run around the house, playing and exploring. I once took a nap and found both Eclipse and Sally perched on my legs, purring to beat the band. Eclipse's ready purr, with cats and people, will fill a room with warmth. He would love to be adopted with his sister, Sally, and preferably one or more other cats for him to play and snuggle with. This litter has an estimated date of birth of about September 1, 2024. Needs Must Cats have received full vetting including spay or neuter, FIV/FLV testing, microchip, and treatment for parasites.

Special Needs

Dallas

American Shorthair

Male, Young

Darnestown, MD

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained,

Story

Dallas is a 1.5-year-old tomcat recently rescued from the streets by my family in Texas. He is an exceptional cat—affectionate, confident, and the ideal companion for anyone who enjoys a warm, snuggly friend nestled on their lap throughout the day. He displays dog-like loyalty, following my every move and greeting me when I return home. Fully litter trained, he uses only his scratching posts and quickly adapts to house rules. He’s comfortable around dogs and gets along well with our Labradoodle. Dallas has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested for FIV and FeLV. Unfortunately, despite being strong and healthy, Dallas tested positive for FIV. However, the veterinarian has assured us that he can lead a full, happy life as an indoor cat to avoid infections. He’s perfectly content staying indoors and he has shown no desire in venturing outside. For anyone looking for a cool, affectionate companion, Dallas would make a wonderful addition to their home.

"Winky" (Periwinkle)

American Shorthair

Female, Adult

Pikesville, MD

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with cats,

Story

Winky is a confident and well-mannered cat who needs a home without other cats. She is sweet but not overly affectionate, and does not like to be picked up. She would be ideal for someone looking for a quiet and low maintenance companion. Winky was found starving in the ghetto in early November. She is now spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for feline diseases, and has been treated for worms and fleas. She appears to be a young adult - I would say at least two or three years old. This striking blue and white girl has such a unique fur pattern. Her fur is soft and silky, and she's absolutely adorable with her little grey nose and soul patch. Winky would be better in a home with adults or families with older children only, but she adapts quickly and has excellent house manners. Needs Must Cats have received full vetting including spay or neuter, FIV/FLV testing, microchip, and treatment for parasites. Your adoption donation in the amount of $50 - $175 helps us assist more cats in urgent need.

Special Needs

Babyface O'Reilly

American Shorthair

Male, 4 yrs

Pikesville, MD

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with kids, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter,

Story

Babyface O'Reilly is the most precious little doll baby of a cat. He needs a very experienced and patient home that will allow him plenty of time to adjust at his own pace. Babyface is a VERY sweet cat but super skittish in relation to humans and new places. When he first sees you, Babyface might hiss, but then within 20 seconds he will be headbutting and making biscuits like crazy. Babyface is about four years old and fully-vetted. He needs a quiet home with an experienced cat owner, preferably with no young children. He is tolerant of other cats, which is important because he is FIV+. Having FIV just means that Babyface may have a more difficult time if faced with illness or injury - like other cats, he should be kept indoors and have his medical needs paid close attention to. FIV only spreads through deep bite wounds, so as long as there is no serious fighting there is zero risk of transmission. Needs Must Cats have received full vetting including spay or neuter, FIV/FLV testing, microchip, and treatment for parasites. Your adoption donation in the amount of $50 - $175 helps us assist more cats in urgent need.
