Gimme a little kiss!

You can call me Race Day.  It’s the only name I’ve ever known.  My former owners gave me to the shelter in August, and I’ve been here ever since.

I’m really a loving boy.  I love people and do well with other cats.  I like to 1) be petted, 2) play, and 3) sleep – in that order. 

I used to have a drooling problem until the shelter had my teeth cleaned.  (Thanks!)

A little quiet, please!

I’m Wicket.  As you can see, I’m orange and white, with soft pink ears, pink nose, and, not to toot my own horn, the best whiskers the world has ever seen.  I’m a DSH (domestic short-hair), about 1 yr old, I’m great with other kitties, and I’m all boy.

My favorite place in the whole wide world is a lap.  I like to lay on a warm lap and suck on my own toe (just like a baby sucks its thumb).  I’ll let you know how happy I am by purring the best purr you’ve ever heard.  But most of the time, I have to share the laps of the wonderful shelter people with others and so I’m usually in this cold metal cage daydreaming of my own person who will love me.

Cute as a kitten

My foster mom named me Sue, and I’m a female calico DSH, about 4 months old. Oh, and by the way, I should warn you, I am the definition of what an “especially adorable” kitten is!

It was so fun to live in a foster home with my brothers.  We got to explore and experience new things.  Now I’m back at the shelter and ready for a permanent family.  Come visit me and the other cute kittens at the shelter!

Huh?

They call me Whisper, which is ironic because I am deaf.  But that just means I’m more sensitive to smiles and warm laps! I’m a beautiful soft white female Domestic Short Hair, only 9 months old.   

I have a lovely temperament, too – very sweet and snuggly.  I like to perch on shoulders and give occasional kisses.  Because I have complete hearing loss, I need to be an inside-only cat.

Boo?

There are several myths about black cats, but in our experience as staff and volunteers at the shelter, we have found most black cats to be very affectionate and laid back.

Take Felix (please).  He is very loving and relaxed.  He loves to lay on a bed or window sill and snooze away, and he also loves playing with his best friend Charlie, who was recently adopted.

He has been at the shelter since April and has been overfed during that time because sometimes we show our love to the cats by giving them too much food.

Other black cats and kittens, like Slate, need to be adopted well before Halloween so we know that people want them for the right reasons – to love and be loved by!

Nobody loves me, going to eat some worms.

My name is Felix, and I’m an ordinary black cat that has been at the shelter since April.  The longer I’m here, the more I eat, and now people ask if I’m pregnant!  How embarrassing.

I’m a young neutered male Domestic Short Hair, about a year and a half old.

I’m extremely lovable to people and other cats.  I’d be SO happy to have a (sturdy) lap to call my own.

Will there ever be a world without lonely hearts?

The Georgetown Animal Shelter has a Lonely Hearts Club  for cats and dogs that have been at the shelter for a long time – at least two months.  Adoption fees for these lonely animals are discounted $20.

As of mid September, three cats qualify as Lonely Hearts.
