Currently Living at: Shelter...coming to the DC area soon
What the Shelter Says About Me:Jaxie is a beautiful black long-haired beauty. She does have some patches of white - her little white locket. She is a sweet girl who loves to be brushed (that glorious fur) and looks forward to head scratches and snuggles from her foster. One of her favorite ways to show that she likes and trusts you is to allow you to hold her on her back, nestled in your arms. She does like to play with toys but prefers just sitting and gazing at the world. Jaxie gave birth to her 3 beautiful kittens (March 2026) while in Animal Control. The kittens thrived under her care and they have all been adopted. Jaxie had to stay back a while because she had to have some vet care after her spay...but she has been cleared by the vet now. Despite all of her vet visits, Jaxie has retained her darling ways. Jaxie is ready for her new life as a family member in a home!
I am Looking For: My loving future family! Hi, I'm Jaxie, and I'm a sweet little kitten who is ready for a forever home where I can run, play, and snuggle to my heart's content.

Read more about Jenni
Story: Jenni is a beautiful and confident young kitty that has been through a lot in her young life. She was rescued by a good samaritan from inside an underpass tunnel on a cold, rainy night in Amnan, Jordan when she was just a kitten. Since then she has blossomed into an affectionate, playful, and cuddly little girl! In fact Jenni is a master cuddler! Her favorite place to be is curled up in your lap for a nap or a petting - a true velcro kitty. She loves to be picked up and will frequently reach out with her paws to tell you to how much you are loved. She’s quite talkative and will let you know if she wants your attention or if she needs something else. Jenni isn’t bothered by other cats or even dogs, and has been very curious and playful with her foster’s animals. Jenni has great litter box habits and loves her horizontal scratching boards the best. If you are looking for a sweet-natured and true companion kitty, Jenni might be your match!
The fee to adopt Jenni is $200 ($325 for two cats or kittens). This covers the cost of her spay, vaccines appropriate for her age, the collar she’s wearing, and her care in foster. Jenni has been seen by a shelter vet (or other vet) and we are not aware of any health issues.
Are you ready to give Jenni the love and attention she deserves? If so, apply today!

This little girl has come a long way, and we couldn’t be happier to see her enjoying life with all the confidence and curiosity a kitten should have.

Then she’s off again, ready to wrestle with her littermates or stalk her latest favorite toy.With her bold personality and adventurous spirit, Magpie may do well in a home with children or cat-friendly dogs, provided introductions are handled thoughtfully. She would love a family that appreciates all the fun, energy, and entertainment that come with a playful kitten.Magpie may be a little girl, but she has a whole lot of love and personality packed into that petite frame! Could this fearless little sweetheart be the one to bring a little extra mischief, laughter, and love into your life?

What the Shelter Says About Me: Winston has a huge purr, loves to nuzzle you, and will play like there is no tomorrow! Winston was surrendered with his mother and 4 sibliings.

He's super playful, curious, and enjoys exploring the world around him. All the while rumbling his loud purr. Winston has also spent time with the older children who visit the rescue and has been wonderfully playful and gentle with them. His friendly personality and loving nature make him a great companion for a family or anyone looking for a fun, affectionate feline friend. If you're searching for a sweet, playful kitten who loves attention and will happily roll over for a belly rub, Winston is ready to steal your heart!

Best Guess for Age: 7 months a/o 10/26/26 Est. DOB: 3/26/26
SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 6 lbs as of 9/29/26

Gets Along With: With proper introductions, Ernie will likely get along with other cats, dogs and kids with an acclimation period. We’re happy to help with tips and tricks!
Lives with: Elmer, Ernie
Currently Living at: Foster home in the DC area!
I am Looking For: Hi, I'm Ernie and I’m a super cute cat! All I ask is for love, a safe home, and yummy food. Do you think I can be part of your family?
What my Foster Says About Me:
Ernie is one perfect kitten – affectionate, social, playful, and curious. Like a true black cat, she is her person’s shadow, following them around everywhere from room to room. Ernie loves to weave in between your legs and rub up against you any chance she gets, so be careful when you’re walking! When you call her, she’ll either run up to you with the cutest trill, or immediately flop onto her back and roll over, and her belly is not a trap!Ernie loves playtime and has great energy. She likes to show off her expert hunting skills, jumping up at wand toys and chasing down springs and balls. She’ll also play chase with the resident cat, or sometimes even try to catch her own tail! She reports for bird and squirrel watching duty everyday and never fails to keep a watchful eye out on the street with her foster brother. And when it’s time to wind down, this girl is all purrs and snuggles. Ernie loves being held or laying on top of your chest, and she’s the first kitty her foster mom has found that loves to hang out in her foster mom’s hoodie! She’s also an expert baker who loves to knead biscuits on blankets, your tummy, or arms. Ernie is the total package – equal parts playful and loving – and is ready to bring so much joy and love into your life :)
What the Shelter Says About Me: Ernie struts through life with total confidence, flashing her charming looks at anyone who'll give her a moment of attention (and it works every time!). Found under a school bus (she must like to learn), this girl is a whirlwind of energy when playtime starts, tearing after toys, pouncing on shadows, and turning even the simplest string into an adventure. But when the games wind down, she melts into pure snuggle mode, proving she's as sweet as she is playful. When she is in her loving mood, she just rolls around and invites petting. This sleek little girl is looking for someone to be the center of her world, and she's more than ready to return the favor.

Pantera's Personality
DOB: 3/31/26
Read more about Pantera
Pantera is a little panther. She has a sleek and shiny black coat - perfect for petting. Like her sister, Tigress, Pantera is VERY friendly, affectionate, curious and adventurous. She LOVES people and runs to greet you when you enter her space. She is not shy one bit. Pantera doesn't have a care in the world - she settled into her foster home immediately. When she's done playing, she LOVES being petted, curls up by your side and immediately turns on her purr motor. She is easy to pick up and carry around although if she's in playmode, she will wiggle for you to put her down so she can chase all of the imaginary things in her world.
Pantera ADORES her sister, Tigress (posted separately) - her partner in crime! They love to play together - chasing and wrestling with each other. They often sleep curled up next to each other and sometimes groom each other demonstrating their bond. Turn on a battery operated toy and she will be occupied for a long time. When Pantera is not playing or snoozing, she loves sitting in the window and watching the world go by.
What Type of Home They Need
These sisters need a forever home where they have plenty of room to run around and explore. They also need plenty of love and affection. They will do best in a home with more than one person because they have so much energy. A family with older kids (about 8 years or older) would be great to keep them entertained!
Where They Came From
The girls came from a loving home where their family asked for help finding them a home together.
Why adopt an adult cat in Washington
An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.
Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
