Cats Available for Adoption

Here are cats currently in our care who are ready for forever homes. We update our adoption page frequently, so check back if you don’t see the right cat for you below. Note: We ONLY adopt to residents of the Washington metropolitan area, which includes Washington, D.C., and parts of Northern Virginia and Maryland.

NEW: Cat adoptions are taking place during the COVID pandemic. Changes to our regular process include:

  • Applications are processed and approved upfront.
  • Visits take place in foster homes with precautions that include masks, social distancing, brief visits and hand washing. 
  • We try to finalize adoption contracts during that visit if all agree the cat is a good match.
