Simon is looking for his forever home! He was surrendered by his owner to the shelter when the owner's children became allergic to him. His foster has described him as epitome of a curious cat. He is always in motion and generally chirping to entice one of the other cats to play with him. He also chirps for chin rubs. When not playing, he is happy to snuggle in your lap, especially if the TV is on. He can be cautious of newcomers but once he warms up he is very friendly.
Please note that cats adopted through DC PAWS must be indoor only, and may not be declawed.
If you are interested in adopting Simon, please submit an adoption application at https://dcpawsrescue.org/adoption-info/adoption-application-cats/.DC PAWS Rescue does our best to provide accurate and complete information about our adoptable animals. Please note that we cannot make any guarantees about age or breed; we rely upon our rescue partners and their veterinarians to make those assessments. We also cannot make any guarantees about housebreaking and animal temperament, as animals can behave differently through transition and in different environments.
Our shelter partners provide a basic vet screening for each animal we rescue, which includes necessary vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and spay/neuter (unless the animal is too young or otherwise deemed by the vet to not be a good candidate for surgery). Please note that this is not a comprehensive medical exam and as such, may not identify any and all medical issues, though our goal is to flag any obvious health issues through the basic vet screening. We share all medical records with adopters and flag any known issues prior to adoption finalization.
About DC PAWS Rescue
Our rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based dog and cat rescue in the DC area. We rescue from rural areas in the south, as well as local DC area shelters, such as Prince Georges County, MD and Wicomico County, MD.

For any of our animals! Sponsors help us provide critical medical care, food, boarding and other support for animals facing euthanasia.

Sponsorships can also be made in honor or memory of a loved one, and you may designate to whom DC Paws Rescue should provide notice of your gift.
