Read more about Garfield
What My Foster Says About Me: Garfield and his siblings are adorable, social, cuddly kittens who were eager to explore and play right when I brought them home. Garfield is the first to want to settle down next to me, and has the most adorable meow when he's seeking attention. Once he finally tires out, he is cuddly, easily handled, and a total purr machine. He and his siblings are extremely social with humans - they are constantly chasing my feet, wanting to climb up to get attention, and walking all over my keyboard. They're also great with my friendly resident cat and calm 70-pound dog.
I am Looking For: My loving forever family! Hi! I'm Garfield, and I am a cute little kitten! I won’t ask for much- just some love, cuddles and lots of toys so I can run and play and be myself.

Gets Along With: Gub currently lives with a dog and adult cat. With proper introductions, Grub will also likely get along with kids with an acclimation period. We’re happy to help with tips and tricks!
Currently Living at: DC area foster home!
Litter: Grub, Garfield, Gus
What My Foster Says About Me: Grub is an adorable, social, cuddly kitten. She needed zero warm-up time and was eager to explore and play. Once she and her brothers finally tire out, they're cuddly, easily handled, and are total purr machines. They are extremely social with humans - they are constantly chasing my feet, wanting to climb up to get attention, and walking all over my keyboard. They're also great with my friendly resident cat and calm 70-pound dog. Grub is always the first one to run at full speed towards me when I enter the foster room. She also has no fear - she will climb into anything she can and was the first to venture outside of the foster room.
I am Looking For: My loving forever family! Hi! I'm Grub, and I am a cute little kitten! I won’t ask for much- just some love, cuddles and lots of toys so I can run and play and be myself.

Personality Highlights:
Social Butterfly: He is wonderfully socialized and gets along great with kids, adults, other cats, and even cat-friendly dogs.
Play Hard, Nap Hard: Pickles loves to play with his siblings. Once he works off all that kitten energy, he’ll collapse right beside you for a serious study-level cozy nap.

Bringing a cat home to your dog
Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.
Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
