Minerva is a 6 month old Dilute Tortie girl with WAVY fur! Talk about a trend setting cat!
She is a quiet, laid back girl who gets bursts of energy and tends to keep herself occupied but not in trouble.
While she was relinquished to us reluctantly due to uncontrollable seizures at the time, we have them well controlled with medications that she takes without a problem. She has been vetted by a boarded veterinary neurologist and has been given the “GO” for adoption. We would prefer her to be adopted into a quiet home as the only cat or a home with an older, relaxed sibling. Click to read more about Minerva!
Panther is a handsome young man with a vivacious spirit and a heart of gold despite all of the challenges that 2020 threw his way, and now he’s determined to make 2021 his best year yet. At just 6 lbs, Panther’s big personality perfectly complements his small stature. This charming dude is a social butterfly who insists on morning belly rubs and nightly snuggle sessions — non-negotiable! If he’s not curled up in your lap, you’ll likely find him perched by sunny window, zipping around with his feline friends, or blissfully batting around some of his favorite toys in quiet solitude.

Flora came to us as a transfer from the PG County Shelter during Thanksgiving week in hopes the CGMFF could provide her with the medical care she desperately needed. Not only did Flora have a condition called “eyelid agenesis”, where the body fails to develop full eyelids, she was extremely malnourished and emaciated. She was a perfect candidate for our program and was welcomed as a new member of Team “Scratch N’ Dent.”
Last year I had the privilege to be asked to sit on a task force committee to help update the 2013 American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) and the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) feline vaccination guidelines. Click to read more!

Fiona came to us as a transfer from the PSPCA in Philadelphia, PA in March 2020. Her scratch n’ dent “feature” is she has what is commonly called “spinal avulsion”, “sacrocaudal fracture” or a “tail pull” injury. Click to read more about Fiona!

Kitten season is in full swing here in Arlington, Virginia! As of May, The Arlington Welfare League’s Kitten Academy has reported over 250 kittens in their foster system already. That’s a LOT of kittens, and many come in quite ill. The Chris Griffey Memorial Feline Foundation itself has received over a dozen complicated kitten cases from VA, MD, & DC that needed advanced medical care, and we could not do this without the generous support by our cat loving community.
