Washington

Hello, my friends! Hail to the Chief! Please welcome Washington, our very own nonpolitical advisor, authority on all things adorable, and leader of the feline world! Washington is a 1 year and 8-month-old black and brown male tabby. He is wonderfully outgoing, thrives off attention from humans, and loves playtime... Is there any other time for this boy?! He enjoys the company of other cats but will need time to acclimate appropriately to them. Washington is an explorer by trade and quite ingenious in obtaining everyday items and turning them into cat toys. We haven't seen Washington kissing any babies on the campaign trail, but we have witnessed and experienced him giving hugs to humans. He has not been around dogs, so we are unsure how he will react to them. And older respectful children would be OK with Washington; his lengthy tail might be tempting for tiny hands to pull on! Thank you for being so interested in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue! If you see this post, we still accept applications for this cat(s)/kitten(s). Please refrain from emailing us regarding availability. All adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery, microchip, rabies, and distemper vaccinations, proof of FIV/feline leukemia testing, flea treatment, deworming, and an exam by a licensed veterinarian. Our shelter hours are by appointment only and are not open to the public. Many of our cats and kittens are located in foster homes. An adoption application MUST be submitted and approved before meeting our cats/kittens. We do this for the safety of our fosters and potential adopters.
