Looking for a companion that knows when it’s time to relax? Our adult cats are one year or older and have left the crazy kitten phase behind. Adult cats have more fully formed personalities, so our fosters have a good understanding of what they like, dislike and the optimal home environment for each unique cat. No two cats are alike and we take the time to get to know them so our Adoption Team can advise you on who is your best match.
*Please note that we aim to keep this page updated with available and adoptable cats but things change every day. Cats and kittens may become unavailable as applications are approved. Our Adoption team can advise on available kitties when your application has been approved.
Zuri, Female, Born April 2017
Meet Zuri! This elegant little lady has been through some tough transitions in her life but still manages to be as sweet as can be. She’ll greet you with a chirp and weave around your legs, purring while you scratch her cute little head. After that, she’ll settle in for some neighborhood watch in the cat tree or a nap on a pile of cozy blankets (or the laundry you just folded). At 8 years old, she’s polite and calm, doesn’t scratch where she shouldn’t and is a perfect litter box user. A little chaos doesn’t seem to bother her, and she can get along fine with dogs, other cats, or on her own. She’s a very independent girlie and probably won’t ever be a lap cat, but she’s quite affectionate and loves being around her humans. Though she’s probably not a great match for young children, she would do fine in a home with older kids. She also gets along well with both cats and dogs. Zuri is ready to settle in, get cozy and steal your heart!

Bruce Almighty, Male, Born October 2021
Big, mighty, and oh so gentle, Bruce Almighty is a four-year-old blue-eyed teddy bear of a cat who’s ready to trade his outdoor past for a cozy forever home. With his plush fur, soulful gaze, and heart of gold, Bruce is as handsome as he is sweet. For years, Bruce lived as a community cat, cared for by kind neighbors who adored him. When his best friend outside sadly passed from cancer, Bruce’s heart broke, and his caretakers knew he deserved a chance at the good life indoors. Since coming inside, Bruce has blossomed. Once shy, he now stretches out for pets from his foster mom and melts under a good brushing session. He’s discovered the joy of soft blankets, windowsills, and, of course, endless snacks—he’ll tell you he’s just big boned! Bruce is a gentle soul who gets along well with other easygoing cats but would prefer a calm home without dogs or small children. What he truly needs is a quiet, patient family who will give him time to settle in and show his loving personality. If you’re looking for a big, huggable boy to fill your home with warmth and quiet affection, Bruce Almighty is your guy.

Fancy Schmancy, Female, Born October 2019
Fancy Schmancy may have a glamorous name, but she’s a down-to-earth sweetheart who simply loves the quiet comforts of home. This six-year-old gray tabby beauty is as gentle as they come, with a heart full of love and a calm, affectionate nature that makes her the perfect companion. Fancy lost her home when her beloved mom became very ill and could no longer care for her, but she’s ready to start a new chapter filled with warmth and care. She’s happiest when she’s lounging beside you during work, keeping you company as you unwind on the couch, or curling up for a cozy nap. Fancy would love to be the queen of her new castle, soaking up all the affection she deserves. Her favorite things include soft blankets, endless head skritches, and anything sprinkled with catnip, which always brings out her playful sparkle. She hasn’t been tested with other cats or dogs, so she might prefer to be your one and only. Fancy Schmancy is ready to prove that sometimes the fanciest thing of all is finding love that feels like home.

Willow, Female, Born May 2019
Have you ever wanted your own miniature panther as a pet? If so, you’re in luck: Willow is the perfect sleek companion — with her luxurious black fur and striking green eyes, this gorgeous girl will stop you in your tracks. But she’s not all looks: Willow, who her foster parents affectionately call Shadow because of her eagerness to always be at your side, has the biggest heart and is eagerly awaiting human companions to call her own. Willow can be a bit shy with new people, but with the tiniest bit of love and reassurance from her person, she steps right up as an amazing companion. She has an incredibly gentle, kind, and loving nature … this girl will take all the cuddles you have to offer, and is eager to be a best friend who is always by your side — truly looking to be your little shadow! She is keen to hang out wherever you are, sharing space and giving you all of the nuzzles and kisses and hugs with her tail. She is content in your lap or lying curled up next to you, and accepts all the scratches you have to offer with enthusiastic purrs in return. Shadow adores being brushed, and is lovely to handle. She’s a smart, good-natured, and easily trainable girl, eager to please, and has naturally good manners. She enjoys some playtime, too, chasing balls and toys or playing with a wand when the mood strikes her. Willow does sometimes find sudden movements, loud noises, or strangers a little scary, but looks to her humans for guidance and security — she gets more confident by the minute in a calm, relaxed, loving home and will settle in nicely with people who offer her a secure space and encourage her to come out of her shell. All it takes is a good scratch and a snuggle when she’s feeling timid, and she melts right into you. This loving jungle cat is so ready to find her forever home. She would do well with a single adult or a couple, but would also likely be a lovely friend for an older child who could help her settle in calmly.

Penelope, Female, Born November 2024
Meet Penelope, our petite panther girl with a heart as soft as her sleek black fur. She was rescued by volunteers working on TNR efforts in a DC neighborhood where several cats turned out to be far too friendly to be true outdoor community cats. It is believed Penelope and others were abandoned there, left behind by owners who could no longer keep them. Thankfully, Penelope’s luck changed when she found herself in a warm and loving foster home. Once she realized she was safe, Penelope’s sweet personality blossomed. She loves gentle pets, head boops, and will greet you with the most endearing little meows for attention. Her tail wiggles with excitement when she is happy, and she even gives “tail hugs” by wrapping it around your arm as you pet her. Though she is a gentle soul, she also has a playful side and loves a good game with a feather wand or a catnip mouse. At just about a year old, Penelope is the perfect mix of affectionate companion and playful young cat. She tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), which was confirmed with a more comprehensive test. Penelope is healthy, active, and ready to live a full and happy life. She will need to be an only cat or join a home with other FeLV+ kitties, and she is more than happy to be the star of the show. Penelope has so much love to give and is ready to find her forever family who will see her for the beautiful, loving girl she is.

Gazelle & Springbok, Females, Born August 2024
Gazelle and Springbok are a bonded pair of tabby sisters looking to bring their sweet dispositions and comedic relief to a very lucky home. These goofballs are very people-oriented, affectionate, and playful! Gazelle is a lilac/lavender tabby with a slight hint of taupe, and Springbok is a black & brown tabby with luscious whiskers. Gazelle enjoys snuggles and is known for her friendly little paw tap greetings. Sprinbok enjoys chasing all kinds of cat toys while running a successful cardboard demolition business. What makes this dynamic duo truly special is their origin story. Gazelle and Springbok have showed such resilience over the last several months since being rescued as kittens. While the girls will continue to have unique eyes for life, they’ve been checked out by our ophthalmologist that confirmed they have normal vision, only requiring intermittent use of eye drops to keep them feeling their best. Their tenacity, resilience, and bravery are awe-inspiring. Gazelle and Springbok are the perfect combination of sweet and silly! They keep their foster family entertained with their antics, including sunning their bellies and frequent bleps. At just one year old, they’re playful like kittens and very affectionate, always curling up in the cat tree for a snooze or together in a cozy bed. This pair gets along well with the resident kitties in their foster home and would happily join an existing cat family or be perfectly content to be adopted together without other pets. As long as they have each other, they’re happy as can be!

Rutabaga, Male, Born August 2024
Meet Rutabaga – A Rootin’-Tootin’ Tabby with a Heart of Gold! At 9 months old, Rutabaga is the perfect blend of shy sprout and playful spud. When he first arrived, he was a little reserved—more of a wallflower than a wildflower. But once he met his foster brother Gary, he totally tuber-ed up into a confident, silly, and energetic little guy! Now he spends his days chasing toys, goofing off with Gary, and lounging dramatically in sunny windowsills. (Catch him in action at #garyinthewindow on Instagram!) He loves to do whatever his big bro does—and for that reason, Rutabaga absolutely needs a friendly, confident adult cat in his forever home to show him the ropes and help him blossom. Though he may take a little time to warm up, Rutabaga roots himself deeply once he feels safe. He may not be a lap cat right away, but with patience and love, he’ll come looking for gentle pets and affection when he’s ready—and he’ll reward your care with his sweet, silly spirit. Looking for a loyal little veggie to add to your feline garden? Rutabaga’s ready to grow with you—just add patience and a cat buddy!

Vanessa, Female, Born January 2023
Vanessa, known as Vanny by her friends, is a sweet lady that’s pretty simple – she just wants to be loved and love in return! This pretty girl was living as a stray in DC and made many friends in her neighborhood that cared for her. She was always rubbing against their legs to let them know she was a nice girl, but she was somewhat timid and no one was committing to bringing her inside. It turned out that Vanny was always on the move because she was a busy mama that had kittens to get back to and we were so very happy to get her and all of her babies safely inside to foster homes. Her kittens have found loving homes and now it’s her turn to have the happily ever after that she deserves! Vanny is a big fan of looking out the window, lounging in a sunny spot, but very glad she isn’t living outside any longer! She adores temptations and the nightly ritutal of laser pointer time, zooming up the cat tree to reach the top and get that pesky red light. Vanny is social with other cats in her foster home but she’s also pretty independent and wouldn’t mind being the only pet in the household. We aren’t sure of her background beyond the time she was rescued as a stray this fall, but we do know she’s a lovely girl that is very happy inside only. Vanessa Redgrave is ready to be your best friend in a quiet, chill home, and we think a family without small kids or dogs would be ideal.

Bobby, Male, Born April 2022
Adoptable Bobby is many things. A goofball. A cutie pie. A silly little guy. But above all, he is a relatable king. And he’s looking for a home that Gets Him™, ya know? Bobby is full of charming quirks. He loves batting at a feather wand (Bobby says “Da Bird is Da Best!”) and he’s an avid soccer player! His favorite toy is a little foam soccer ball, and he’ll run all around your house with it in his mouth, chirping about his big catch! He also loves other cats and gets a lot of confidence from them. If your cat needs a fan club, Bobby is the cat for the job! He loves to wrestle with other cats, let them eat his food, and coo at them adoringly. He’s the ultimate cat’s cat and makes a great friend. He’s currently loving to spend time with his bestie adoptable Bart in his foster home! Bobby has many other silly little characteristics too. He loves laying in a bowl, whether that be a bowl bed built into a cat tree or a literal bowl you put out for him (but he also loves treats, so it’s gotta be a big bowl). He is RIDICULOUSLY goofy looking. Swipe through his pics to see how similar he looks to a certain Ratatouille character lol. When he wants to be mischievous, he’ll steal your socks or find some of your clothes to lay on. He’s really just an all-around riot and tons of fun. We have one more thing to tell you about Bobby (maybe the most relatable thing about him), and it’s why he’s looking for a home that Gets Him™ — Bobby is simply an awkward little guy and he’s got some trust issues. He takes a hot minute to warm up to people and let them touch him. Can you blame him? We don’t want to be touched by most people either. Once he’s comfortable in his space and he’s seen you once or twice, he’ll play with you and he’ll take treats from your hands, but being touched? No thank you. Until you become his person. Once you work to earn his trust (and bribe him with enough tuna), Bobby will eventually let His Person pet him. And once he trusts you, you’re in for life. He’ll purr and make biscuits and lean in. He is ridiculously sweet. We highly recommend taking the time to become Bobby’s Person. We know the perfect home is out there for our socially awkward little man with a ton of personality, and we can’t wait for him to find it. Apply today to adopt Bobby!
