Nero

Meet **Nero** - the playful sweetheart with a wild backstory! Nero was discovered in Gaithersburg as part of a surprising little gang that included his siblings *and* a groundhog. Since then, he's traded his street smarts for snuggles and playtime!<br/><br/>Nero is a friendly, curious kitten who loves everyone he meets - people, kids, and other cats alike. He's happiest when he can play with toy mice, chase string wands, or bat around his favorite little balls. After a good burst of zoomies, you'll find him stretched out for a well-deserved nap or curling up with one of his feline friends.<br/><br/>He's a cuddly little guy who enjoys being held before bouncing off for his next adventure - but don't expect a lot of chatter from him! Nero is a *very* quiet cat; his foster family hasn't even heard a meow or a purr yet, though he shows his affection through his calm presence and gentle nature.<br/><br/> **Nero must be adopted into a home with another cat** - he's too social to be a solo act!<br/><br/>If you're looking for a playful, easygoing kitten who brings joy and peace (without the noise!), Nero is your guy.<br/><br/>Est DOB: 6/3/2025<br/><br/>FOSTER-TO-ADOPT PROGRAM<br/>Not sure if a particular pet will be the perfect match?

We also require a drivers' license, or other form of ID, for each adult in the household.<br/><br/>CAT ADOPTION APPLICATION<br/>We process adoptions through ShelterLuv. The first step is to complete an application:<br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FMCA/Cat<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Please email us at info@fmca.org with any questions regarding the adoption process.
