Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Germantown, Maryland

Sweet, calm, and quietly affectionate, this lovely girl may be a little shy at first, but once she feels comfortable she enjoys attention and will happily come over for pets. She's not a fan of being picked up, but she loves being near her people and will often sleep at the foot of your bed.

She has a gentle personality with a playful side and enjoys calm companionship and playtime. Because of her quieter nature, she would likely do best in a home without young children or dogs. She does well with other cats and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a mellow, loving kitty.

If you do not have a specific pet in mind, please list a general description of what you are looking for, i.e. adult female cat or pair of kittens or unknown, etc. under the section titled "Which animals are you interested in?" This will allow us to quickly determine if we may have what you are looking for readily available or in one of our foster homes still going through the vetting process.

You will hear from us in the next few days. Please note, FMCA is an all-volunteer organization and most of our volunteers work full-time, so please be patient.

After an applicant is fully approved and an appropriate pet is selected, we will coordinate pet transfer. We will stay in touch to monitor during the two-or three-week trial period. If it's a go, we will finalize the adoption electronically. During the trial period, we are always available to help with items such as getting pets settled in, pet introductions and ways to help shy pets acclimate. If things don't work out, the pet will return to FMCA.

Please email us at info@fmca.org with any questions regarding the adoption process.
