This cute kitten’s foster name is Tony/
Foster. He loves
to play with string and balls, but the
fish is definitely his favorite. He
enjoys climbing and pouncing on toys.
When he's really tired, he likes to
sleep on his back in the sun with his
paws in the air. Tony is a friendly
kitten and his sociability will make him
a wonderful cat companion for anyone.
If you are interested in adopting
him, contact his foster mom, Rachel @
raebecker@gmail.com
for more information. |
 |
Magellan/Foster, just like
his brother, Tony/Foster loves to play
with string and balls, but the fish is
definitely his favorite. Magellan is an
explorer; he runs to the door to greet
everyone and is always up for an
adventure. He spends long stretches of
time looking at the fish tank. He
always wakes up purring and likes to rub
up against you as soon as his eyes open.
If you are interested in adopting him,
contact his foster mom, Rachel @
raebecker@gmail.com
for more information. |

Volvo/Foster is
looking for a quiet home and a
loving person. She has a gentle
and affectionate personality,
but she had very little contact
with people at her previous home
and can be shy and scared of
noise or commotion. Volvo
already loves to snuggle with
her foster mom, a good sign that
she will become a happy,
confident cat. She will need
additional socializing with a
patient person in a quiet home.
Volvo is 6 months old, spayed,
and current on her vaccinations.
If interested, contact Kate @
lkl1@hood.edu/phone
301-620-4043.

Kenya/Foster is as
sweet as she beautiful. She is a little shy at first, but once you gain her
trust, she loves you with her whole heart. She is 6 years old, declawed in the
front, has perfect litter box manners, and is current on her vaccinations. I f
interested, contact Kate @
lkl1@hood.edu/phone
301-620-4043.

If you're looking for a cat who will
make himself at home right from the
start, Gibbs/Foster may be the
cat for you. From the first day in his
foster mom's home, Gibbs sauntered
around as if he owned the joint, rubbing
his face on the furniture to mark it as
his property and then lying on the couch
as if he'd lived there his entire life.
In addition to being a supremely
confident cat, Gibbs is also very
affectionate, loving nothing more than
to sit on a lap and be the center of
attention. Gibbs is 4 years old,
neutered, and current on his
vaccinations. If interested, contact
Kate @
lkl1@hood.edu or 301-620-4043. |

Ballet/Foster is a really, really
sweet Calico. I know that's unusual for
that type of cat, but she is an
exception. She gets along with everyone
and other cats. She is affectionate and
loving. She is just 2 years old and what
beautiful coloring she has. She is being
cared for in a foster home. If you are
interested in adopting her and you live
in the MD/DC/VA area, contact the
foster, Deborah @ 240-912-6275/email
dk0147@msn.com |
 |
Harper/Foster is a two year old
female calico cat. This is a gentle,
sweet tempered cat who never tries to
bite or scratch even when very angry
about being given pain medicine
following her spay surgery. This cat is
very well behaved around small children.
Harper is a lap cat. She loves people
and seeks out the company of humans in
the house. If you would like to arrange
a visit, please contact Katherine @
ktylitter@hotmail.com |
 |
Tyler/Foster is a male kitten
born on 2-12-08. Tyler is almost totally
black with a little bit of white on his
belly. This kitten is extra loving. I
think he will be a "lap cat". Tyler uses
his litter box. He is accustomed to
other cats and dogs. Tyler likes
children and adults. For additional
information, you can contact
Katherine @
ktylitter@hotmail.com |

This is Flicka/Foster, a pretty young lady who agrees it's time to lose some of her baby fat. All her kittens got adopted and she was left behind. Will anyone out there share some of their low-carb meals with her? She loves other cats and she's got perfect house manners. She loves to be petted and just recently started jumping in our laps. For a visit with her, call
Laurie @ 301.770.9102 / badseed@erols.com (be sure to put cats or kittens in the subject line). |
 |
Ripken/Foster
is such a tiny female tabbie, all black except for a white patch on her tummy that she was thought to be only four months old when she came to the shelter. Truth be told she is about 2 years old and had two kittens shortly after coming to my home. She has beautiful silky, short, fur and is slinky like a panther. She won't get any bigger so if you prefer small cats, Ripken is a good choice. She gets a long well with other cats and is very expressive. She tries repeatedly to open my bedroom door by turning the knob. No luck yet! Call or email Ann if you would like to meet Ripken: 301-706-9879/email bingaloid@yahoo.com |
 |
I'm Sparta/Foster and I'm a
handsome and very charming neutered
male. My sleek black coat has a small
white chest tuft and white hairs
scattered here and there. I'll turn on
my purr-machine when I see you and I
want nothing more than to be with you. I
love being petted and combed. And I'll
melt in your arms when you pick me up.
Go ahead - carry me around the house!
I'm not heavy and I'll sing to you my
soothing motor song. I'll kiss your
cheek and hug you. If you adopt me,
you'll never be lonely. And, since I'm
7, you'll get $75 of vet services
included with the adoption! I'm a gentle
guy who always uses my litter box. If
you want to meet me, please contact:

Clam/Foster is a young adult domestic short hair brown torbie/ocicat mix who came to the shelter with a litter of kittens. Most of them have been adopted, and now its mom's turn. There are other cats, large dogs and kids in her foster home. To learn more about this gal, contact

Garnet/Foster
is a Sweet and spunky
approximately 1 year old
spayed female looking for a
good home. Gorgeous,
petite, Chocolate Burmese
and Tabby mix, with unique
dark brown coloring, faint
tabby stripes, golden
eyes and a white patch on
her chest. Photos don't do
her justice. Sweet
temperament and chirping
meow. Loves food, cuddling,
nose kisses and watching TV
and birdfeeders. She is
definitely in touch with her
inner kitten and will play
with anything she can get
her dainty paws on, such as
cat toys, office clips, bits
of paper, her own tail and
blanket-covered feet. One
of her favorite pastimes is
wrestling with her foster
mom's cat (so she would
definitely get along with
other cats). Garnet is a
stray so she has a
mysterious past. She has a
barely-visible crick at the
end of her tail, possibly
from an old break, and was
already spayed when she
arrived at the MCHS. Also,
because of her unknown
history, she may or may not
be O.K. with young
children or dogs. Although
she is very friendly, she is
sometimes skittish when
approached by a human, but
is quickly learning to
trust. Garnet has good
grooming and litter box
habits; is healthy and
up-to-date with all of her
shots; and is very patient
when annoying humans clip
her nails or give her
medicine. If you're
interested, please contact

Hi I’m Apollo/Foster (aka Tricey in my foster home), and I’m 3 years old male black and white cat. I am a very cool cat, but you just got to get to know me in my foster home; otherwise I get kinda grumpy if you put me in a cage. I can adapt pretty quick to a new home, and I eat dry and can food, you name it. I like to be petted, but not too much; I just like to have some space, u know. Sometimes I got my temper, so I do not recommend you to get so close to me. Not that I’m mean or anything, but sometimes I lose my cool, you know how it is. Okay, but let’s not just focus on the negative side though. There are so many nice things about me; for example I’m so nice that I will wait for you by the door, I use my litter box all the time, and I am not shy at all so you can introduced me to all your friends. Look at my picture, am I cute or what? I mean you just gotta see my eyes and my body, yeah I am hot!!! Oh, I speak three languages: Hi, Hola and Meow. Unfortunately, I don’t get along with kids because then they get all the attention, and what about me? Anyway if you want to contact me or my mommy call 202 270 4634 (our cell phone) or 301-740-3690 (my home). Or if you are a little shy, just send me a e-mail (I’ll be glad to answer any questions you have) netmari17@hotmail.com. I’ll be waiting, don’t take too long!!!!

Grace/Foster is
a very affectionate and loving one year old female cat. Grace has sometimes
acted more like a dog than a cat, occasionally meeting us at the door or coming
when called. Grace is also a 'talker' and will attempt to communicate with a
variety of sounds and chirps. This cat has perfect litter box manners. In her
foster home, Grace has helped care for small kittens who were not her own.
Unfortunately, this cat does not get along with other adult cats or with dogs.

I even come with my own money in the form of a $75 Golden Oldie coupon. I am very charming and like to chirp and trill, give head butts and chin rubs.

This gorgeous girl is Dali/Foster,
but we call her "Maggie Moo". She's a
sweet lady who needs a little time to
get used to her new environment and
person/people. Once she feels safe,
Maggie will show her very playful and
silly side. She can become quite
attached and, if it's okay with you, she
will often keep you company. She is not
into treats, but Maggie loves kind words
and being petted by her human(s). You
will love petting her, too, because she
is super soft. Although she is very
gentle, we recommend she be adopted into
a house without small children because
she will do better as the "approacher".
Maggie is approx 2 years old and has
been spayed. To meet her, contact:

Frodo/Foster, a talkative black
short haired teenage boy who is an
almost identical twin to his brother Sam
was born in his foster home in May.
While strolling through the living room
he looks at his foster mom to be sure
all is well and squeaks to say "Hi Mom."
Frodo chooses to sit on his foster
mother's shoulder for love and affection
as he purrs with delight. Like his
brother Sam, he chooses his friends
wisely. Wouldn't you be lucky to have a
loving companion as engaging as Frodo
who is just as accepting of adults and
children alike. Call or email Ann if you
would like to meet Frodo:

Bronze/Foster is an incredibly sweet, easy-going guy with lots of love to
give. He has luxuriously soft fur, big astonishingly bright green eyes, and a
strong loud purr. He is an 8 year old, de-clawed, neutered male with diabetes.
Bronze is a relaxed kitty cat that loves ear rubs, chin rubs and surprisingly
tummy rubs. Bronze is not worried about his two insulin injections a day
because they just mean more chin rubs and back scratching. He is even happy to
let his foster do the in home blood test on his ear when needed. He is
grateful for every kind word, touch, and look you give him. Bronze will
require an owner that is willing to feed him his high protein low carb diet on a
daily schedule, administer his insulin, and keep up with vet visits to stabilize
his diabetes. He is currently in a foster home living with children and dogs
purring away waiting to meet you. Contact Julie @ 301-775-4272/email
tjrand@earthlink.netSince this is one of our senior pets, the adopter will receive a $75 coupon
that can be used towards future veterinary visits. In addition, any adopter who
is 62 years or older will get a 50% discount on this pet.

This little blue cream tortie,
Guam/Foster, is looking
for the "purr-fect" playmate and
the perfect name. Besides loving
to play, she's a bug catcher
extraordinaire. When you come
home, she'll be waiting at the
door to greet you and later in
the evening you can call out to
her and she will come,
particularly if you have
something to play with. Often
when you try to pet her, she
tries to bath you with her
tongue instead. She also likes
to give little kisses in the
morning to get you out of bed.
She's only 2 years old and in
great shape. She is current on
her shots, spayed, and micro
chipped. If you would like to
know more contact, Carina @
301-540-7849/email

Chesie/Foster This
pretty girl deserves to be in a
household that has time to devote its
self to her magnificence. She is okay
with cats that can hold their own and
rubs up against dogs. She would be best
in a home with no cats but seems to
really like dogs after she gets used to
them. Chesie, or Biotchee as my husband
calls her, wants to rule the house. She
is affectionate and playful with people
and doesn't hesitate to tell you all
about her needs. She is a queen among
cats. A real special character who will
be someone's constant companion and food
critic. If you know of someone in need
of Chesie’s patronage and companionship,
have them call Kristie @
301-607-4755. |

Canoe/Foster is a 7 year old spayed orange tabby DLH. She is considered one of our senior cats at the rescue which means she will get a $75 coupon towards future vet visit when she's adopted. She is comfortable with adults as well as children. She lives with other cat at the MCHS rescue and has lived with dogs for the past 2 years. She likes to be the "top Cat in her home and should be the only female cat. She is affectionate and calm and always uses her litter box. She likes to be brushed and with that long hair will need to be brushed often. If you are interested in giving her a fabulous home, call Diane @ 301-593-1294 or 301-520-3374/email ds88b@nih.gov |

Olivier/Foster is a blue torby with gorgeous glowing green eyes. This long-legged 4-yr old is about 11 lbs, and was given up when her family had a new baby. In the past she was a mommy and an outdoor kitty, but is now spayed and has become used to indoor life. She's grown more comfortable with people once she realizes they can be trusted. Aggressive cats frighten her, but she gets along well with easy-going kitties. Although she won't let herself be picked up, she loves to be combed. She would probably do best in a home with experienced cat owners, who'll give her the time and space she'll need to learn she's safe and can depend on them. To learn more, contact
Virginia @ 301.255.0188/email ldenning@mac.com To see more pictures of Olivier and other fosters in her household, Click Here |

Scout/Foster is a TOP CAT! Our TOP CATS come highly recommended by MCHS staff and volunteers. Scout is a friendly laid-back orange and white tabby boy who is about three years old. He enjoys looking out the window but is also very playful and loves chasing plastic toy balls--and anything else that moves. Scout gets along well with other cats and children. At some point, a nerve in Scout's left eye was damaged causing his pupil to enlarge. Scout has seen a veterinary ophthalmologist who reports that Scout's vision is fine and his dilated pupil is not painful. The pupil can be constricted with the daily use of prescription drops but this is not necessary for his vision. Scout is a wonderful boy who really deserves a good home. For more information about Scout, please contact Debby @ 301-916-0936/email dss2184@aol Photo: Susan Shalowitz |

a petite girl, weighing only 6
pounds. She is a real cuddle-bug
and enjoys giving affection as
much as receiving it. She always
uses her litter box and gets
along with other cats. She is
not too crazy about the dogs in
