Another tenant from this week’s terrible fire at 11th and W St, NW could use some help. From the GoFundMe:
“Our wonderful nanny, Julia Ruiz, lost everything in a fire when her apartment went up in flames in the early morning of September 11. She and her family were fortunately unharmed, but she’s devastated to have lost her home and everything inside. In the year she’s been with us and caring for our daughter Madison, she’s become our family. We’d be so grateful for any assistance in getting her back on her feet.”

Just look at those ears! Sakee is a gentle, easygoing girl looking for a perfect home to accommodate her daily napping schedule. She truly is a loyal companion, always quietly following her foster around the house. If given permission (yes, she will wait for your permission), Sakee will hop right up on the couch and use your lap as a head rest.
Despite sleeping being her favorite activity, Sakee loves to go for a walk! She is great on the leash, and will stick by and listen to her walker. Sakee is extremely fond of people of all ages, but she will love and show loyalty to her adopter the most! Of course, if she meets humans on her walk, she will calmly and quietly seek out some pets. She loves all humans, even little ones!
Sakee isn’t kept in her crate by her foster parent, and is given free roam of the house when the humans are gone. She is known to simply find a comfy sleeping spot and take a nap when her foster parents leave. Sakee prefers listening over talking, and is not known to bark. She knows the words “sit and “down – just don’t be surprised when she rolls over for a belly rub after she lays down!
With her calm nature, Sakee’s claim to fame is the fact that she will wait for her paws to be wiped after going for a walk. What a considerate, clean girl! Are you looking for an easygoing, calm companion to make your house a home? Apply today to meet Sakee!

Let a little LUCK into your life with Lucky, a dreamy, dapper tuxedo-ed gentleman. Lucky is a sweet, loud-purring tuxedo cat who loves to be with other cats in a relaxing environment and with treats.
Already have one cat in your life? Not a problem for Lucky. Lucky is a cat’s cat. He doesn’t mind other cats and, in fact, he likes to cuddle, play and chase with feline friends. He has loved having a foster brother to clean and to be around. He also doesn’t mind dogs if they leave him alone which is a plus!
Got too much food on your plate? Not a problem or Lucky. Lucky loves all food and will love to be near your side while eating. He does not discriminate. Especially the occasional popcorn or piece of turkey that “drops to the ground.
Have extra cat toys that need playing with? Lucky is your guy! He loves playtime and is able to even communicate when he needs to with a good toy and a high pitched meow. He loves his zoomies, batting around a stuffed mouse, and getting his energy out.
Lucky, like many a dapper gentleman, can take a moment to warm up to you, casually observing from afar while he assesses you, but once he warms up, he’s a friendly young man who will bring a little LUCK to your life.
