Young Adult Cats up For Adoption
While technically not kittens anymore, these kitties are definitely still kids. Their bottomless energy stores combined with their love of toys make them the biggest stars of our Adoption Events.
Featured Kitties
|
Lunar, female, 1.5 years old |
|
 Lunar is a beautiful dainty little girl with a dash of tom boy in her. She’s an excellent bug catcher and gets along well with other cats. When she is feeling playful, she is hilarious to watch as she chases the laser light dodging left and right. She’s a ballerina too in that she can balance on the tippy top of a cat scratcher post and can sit pretty as she gently takes a treat out of your hand. She will high five for a treat and at night she will snuggle right up next to you in bed. She’ll curl up in the tiniest ball and gently lay her head in your hand to let you know she’s right beside you. |

Onyx, Male, 1-2 Years Old |
|
 |
|
| Onyx is a Gem of a cat who was rescued from a D.C. alley near the National Arboretum. He’s a very friendly boy who follows his foster parents around like a dog. We’re still getting to know Onyx so we’ll update his story as we learn more about him. | |

BayeBaye, female, approximately 2 years old |
|
 BayeBaye (which stands for Black with yellow eyes) lived outside her rescuer’s home for about a year. She’d been visiting on a regular basis and some months ago, she brought her babies to visit too. The rescuer brought BayeBaye and her kittens inside and found she was really a friendly girl. Her kittens have been weaned and have found their new homes so now it’s BayeBaye’s turn. She is very playful and loves jumping in and out of her nylon cube, batting at strings, and chasing her ball around in circles. She is curious and explores everything: she sticks her head under the clothes, behind towels, behind books, inside the dishwasher, in the closet, behind the shower curtain, and more! Then, when it is time to go to sleep she will crawl in bed, purring and cuddle up next to you. She is brave around strangers and makes new human friends quickly, but watch out if you are a mouse or another cat! She needs to have her humans all to herself; we’re not sure how she was such a good mom because she really dislikes or is jealous of other cats! You can’t really tell from her photo but she’s a not-very-fluffy medium haired cat with a somewhat fluffy tail. Visitors often comment on her beautiful and sleek medium-length fur and big yellow eyes, and enjoy her engaging but non-clingy personality.  |

Frankie, female, 3 years old |
|
  |
|
| When Frankie came to Tails High, she was a very angry girl who didn’t trust many people. She also had a droopy eyelid and couldn’t see well with that eye which added to her frustration and bad attitude. For the past few months, Frankie has been working very hard with her foster mom to learn that people are nice and that when she’s not angry and acting out, she’ll get lots of praise and love. Frankie has learned a lot in her time with us, including how to play with toys and with other cats. Her foster mom taught Frankie some things to help redirect her energy towards the positive when necessary; she knows how to sit when asked, gives high fives, and she’ll give her foster mom kisses…sometimes. Frankie is a work in progress with a lot of potential. Her eyelid is still a bit droopy but her eye ball has healed and she now can see 100% with both eyes. Frankie still has a way to go but is much more trusting and confident. Sometimes she’ll cuddle and purr a very low pitch, soft purr. She’ll climb into a lap, ask to be held and snuggle in close, or lay across her foster mom in bed but, she’ll very firmly let you know when she’s had enough. Frankie needs new parents who will love her, kiss and hold her but also respect that she has very definite boundaries and be willing to continue gently challenging those boundaries. Frankie will be a fabulous cat for the right family. She should not be someone’s first cat and she is not the right cat for a family with children. She will do best with a cat she can befriend and play with and who will play back. | |
| Pasha, female, 4 years old | |
 Pasha (about 4 years old ) is shy at first (which isn’t uncommon) but will bond with people over time. She is very sweet, fancy (note the red boa), loves to sleep on the pillow next to you, loves to play, and enjoys being brushed. Consider adopting her with Gucci, whom she has lived with ever since she was rescued as a kitten outside. |

Kameko and Shiro, females, 5 years old |
|
  |
|
| Kameko is a tortoise shell, about 5 years old and very loving and cuddly. Her foster dad reports that she sleeps above his head in bed. She likes to go outside, so she has to be watched against trying to sneak out of the house, but she loves to be petted and is a talker. Shiro is her partner in crime. The two can be seen together stirring up trouble and egging the other one on. These two have been together so long that we couldn’t think of splitting them up–these two come as a package deal! |
