About Erica

Meet Erica, a sweet little lady who’s hoping to find her forever home. At just 8 weeks old, this adorable Domestic Short Hair kitten brings joy wherever she goes. With her tortie coloring and playful spirit, Erica is eager to explore the world around her. She is likely to get along with other cats, dogs, and even kids once she’s introduced properly. Her new family should provide her with plenty of love, a safe environment, and lots of toys to keep her happy and engaged. Erica is currently at the shelter but coming to the DC area soon. As a young kitten, she hasn’t been spayed yet, so her adopter will need to ensure this is done by February 12, 2027. She may not be fully vaccinated at the time of adoption, so it's important to follow up with her remaining vaccines. Are you ready to welcome this cute ball of fur into your life?
