Fantastic Rex, the cat

Rex is a fantastic cat who adores people, including children! Rex was adopted from a shelter when he was a kitten and then returned two and a half years later because the kids in his home had allergies. His original owner said he was fantastic with her children, who ranged in age from infancy to six years old.

He absolutely loves human attention and would be thrilled if he could be pet all day long. We also know that Rex has lived with another cat in the past. He is a gorgeous cat with medium-long black fur with a white spot on his chest and one paw, and he has a huge, bushy tail. Rex has been declawed on his front paws and is up-to-date on vaccines, negative for FIV and feline leukemia, neutered and microchipped.


As of May 2101, Rex is two years, nine months.  He is living in a foster home in Northern Virginia

Sugar is Sweet

Sugar is a long haired senior beauty. When local authorities were informed of numerous animals living in less than desirable conditions, they seized several cats and dogs, including Sugar. Sugar was brought to the shelter where she charmed the shelter staff and quickly became a shelter favorite. HT was called to help and we are sure glad we did!!

Sugar is super affectionate and just loves people. She is a very special girl who will steal your heart! She loves to be pet and brushed. She will purr madly when you come near her with a brush.  She is super affectionate and gets along OK with most cats and dogs.


Sugar is estimated at 9 years old.  She is living in a foster home in Arlington VA.

Sushi - what a beautifully expressive face!

Sushi is a fantastic cat looking for a permanent home. Sushi is very sweet and friendly, and gets along with other cats, and she also loves humans! Sushi is declawed, so if you have concerns about your carpets or furniture being torn up, there is no need to worry! She is ten years old, which means she has many years left to be your companion.

Sushi is a short haired tabby living in a foster home in Bethesda, MD.

Sweet Blackie!

Blackie is a fantastic, sweet cat looking for a forever home! This guy is about seven years old, loves people and does well with other cats! He would make a fantastic addition to any home. Blackie was declawed by his previous owner. He ended up at a shelter, where he was rescued by Homeward Trails. Unfortunately, our vet thinks that Blackie's declaw surgery may have been botched, so we are working on getting Blackie x-rays to check his paws. If the surgery wasn't done properly, we will get Blackie the corrective surgery he needs. Blackie is an absolutely wonderful cat and will make someone very happy. Could it be you?

Blackie is living in a foster home in Washington, D.C.
The adoption fee for Blackie is $100.00, which helps with cost of routine vet care, as well as spay/neuter surgery.

If you are interested in adopting Blackie, please fill out our cat adoption questionnaire and e-mail it to stephanielitos@gmail.com.

Thank you for contacting Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!
