Betsy, Animal Welfare League of Arlington(02 of26)
Open Image ModalMy original owner said the following about me: I'm 2 years old and was adopted from AWLA when I was a kitten. I was kept indoors only. I play gently, like a variety of toys and liked to play with the family dog. I'm very tolerant when it comes to handling. I enjoy quiet time, toys, cat nip, looking out the window and laying on my back like a dog. I'm friendly with people, but can be fearful of strangers. I can also be a little vocal and I'm best described as: shy, friendly, active, independent and sometimes like a dog. (credit:AWLA)

Maybeline, Animal Welfare League of Arlington(04 of26)
Open Image ModalI'm 1 year old and originally came into the shelter as a stray and was adopted out but then returned shortly thereafter when my adopter developed allergies.They only had me for about a month. They described me as friendly, playful, active, goofy, lively and curious. They noted that I had a habit of eating their spider plants. I am friendly with people but can be a little bit cautious with new people at first. I like my quiet time, but also like to climb and play with toys. I play gently, but may give love bites. I also like a variety of toys and can learn tricks for treats. I lived as an only pet - no other cats or dogs. (credit:AWLA)
