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.

What the Shelter Says About Me: Winnie is the sweetest little tuxedo girl! She certainly stands out in her family condo, where she lives with her two all-white siblings! Winnie loves her siblings, but she also enjoys her special one-on-one time with the wonderful volunteers who feed and care for her.

With her sweet personality, playful spirit, and love for attention, Winnie is sure to bring so much joy to her forever family! With all the changes in her life - being surrendered with her litter mates to our rescue and moving from a home to a building with lots of kitties, Winnie does take some time to warm up to you.

Name: Winsley Best Guess for Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Age: 15 weeks 11/14 - Actual DOB 7/27/26
SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 2.77 lb 10/19
Coloring: White with one blue & one green/yellow eye, deaf Type of Hair: Medium
Special Consideration: Winsley is deaf and will need time and patience to settle into a new home
Gets Along With: Because of his young age, Winsley will likely get along with other cats, dogs and kids with an acclimation period. We’re happy to help with tips and tricks!
Litter: Winnie, Winsley, Winton
Currently Living at: Shelter...coming to the DC area soon
What the Shelter Says About Me:Winsley wins with his longer fur and the most beautiful two colored eyes! As we’re learning, Winsley is deaf, which is not uncommon in white cats with one blue and one green/yellow (heterochromia) eyes. But don’t let that fool you—this sweet boy doesn’t let anything slow him down! He loves playing with his siblings and happily comes to the front of the condo to greet our volunteers and soak up all the love and attention. Winsley is sweet, friendly, and full of kitten charm. He’ll need a special family willing to help him thrive by teaching him hand signals, providing safe boundaries, and understanding his unique needs & special abilities. His beautiful jewel colored eyes and pink nose along with his other senses will let him experience the world in the way he needs. A playful companion kitten or a patient, supportive adult cat would be a wonderful addition to Winsley’s new family, giving him a friend to learn and grow alongside. (But be aware that he will not hear the cat's hiss so hopefully visual social cues will help them respect each other.) Winsley may experience the world a little differently, but he has so much love to give and has been thriving! He’s ready to find a family who will see how special he truly is and give him the safe, loving forever home he deserves. Could you be Wiinsley's family and ears?

Sex: Female

Estimated Age: 15 months old (as of 11/8)

Best Guess for Breed: Domestic Short Hair

Weight: About 6 pounds

Good With: People, and other cats and kittens!

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!

Meet Tippy — The Miracle Boy! Tippy is one very special little boy with an incredible story of resilience, a heart full of sweetness, and so much love to give!Tippy was rescued by one of our wonderful partner organizations from heartbreaking conditions alongside many other kittens desperately in need of help. Sadly, he was very sick as a tiny kitten and developed severe eye infections that required extensive treatment, numerous veterinary visits, tests, and examinations. Through it all, his incredibly dedicated foster provided round-the-clock care, making sure this little fighter had everything he needed to heal.And what a comeback he has made! Tippy has overcome his infections, and although he has some residual scarring that leaves his eyes looking a little cloudy, he has come such a long way.

His infections have resolved, and his remaining cloudiness is due to scarring from his illness. He may be a little more cautious when navigating unfamiliar surroundings or deciding whether to leap into something new, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying life!Despite everything he has endured, Tippy has remained the sweetest boy. He tolerated all the treatments and care he needed without ever getting upset with the people trying to help him. Now, he’s ready to focus on the fun stuff!Tippy LOVES playing with toys, and a fishing-pole toy is hands-down his favorite game. He also enjoys wrestling and playing with his feline friends. He’s a sweet, gentle soul who has already shown us just how much strength and spirit can fit into one little kitten.Because of his eye scarring, Tippy would do best in a quieter, predictable home where he can become familiar with his surroundings without having to navigate lots of new things being moved around or placed in his path. With a little patience, a safe environment, and time to build confidence, he can settle in at his own pace and continue to thrive. A friendly feline companion who enjoys playing would be a lovely bonus for this playful boy!Tippy has already overcome so much in his young life. Now, he deserves a family who will see past his cloudy eyes and recognize the beautiful, resilient, loving kitten looking back at them. His eyes tell a story of what he’s survived, but they don’t define who he is. Could you be the person who gives our miracle boy his happily-ever-after? Tippy has tested negative for FIV/FeLV, and is current on all age appropriate treatments and vaccines. Tippy will be neutered and microchipped on 10/26 and will be ready to find his forever family!For more information about Tippy, please contact: catmanager@ahomeoftheirownrescue.org

Adopting a cat in Columbia

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
