Name: Smudgeface
Breed: DC Alley Cat
Likes: I like to wander in the house and play with catnip toys and lie in front of the fire. (The indoor cats are afraid of me even though I’m tiny). I’m not very food motivated, but a little piece of leftover chicken is a nice treat.
Name: Leopold and Figaro (aka The Bookends)
Breed: Norwegian Forest Cat
Likes: We love to stop, drop and roll at your feet for a belly rub and massage. Our favorite time of day is bed time, when we race up the steps for our “snack treats”. Then it’s play time with our feather string and bell ball toys. We love each other so […]

Name: Archie Jackson

Name: Hello, I’m Milo. I live in my own castle in Arlington, and have two human pets (although they think they are my “dads”). I moved here about seven years ago from Pennsylvania and really enjoy this place. My castle is surrounded by a forest full of interesting creatures, but for some reason they seem to get nervous when I try to get […]
Name: Hi there. My name is Harley. I was brought home three years ago from the shelter (I do not like cages!) and my Mom struggled with what to call me. After considerable thinking time she settled on Harley (a la Harley Davidson) because I purr and purr. Not just the low you-can-only-feel-it-if-you-have-your-hand-on-my-back type of purr but more the you-can-hear-it-across-the-couch variety. Though she […]
