WASHINGTON -- Did you spend your three-day President's Day weekend alone? If you did, maybe you just need a good cat.

Peruse this gallery for some lovable cats ready for adoption at the Washington Humane Society and the Washington Animal Rescue League.

The Washington Humane Society provides comfort and care to nearly 30,000 animals.

For abused, abandoned and forgotten animals, the Washington Animal Rescue League provides an environment for recovery as animals transition into new lives.

In addition, Tails High is an unconventional shelter in Alexandria, Virginia that socializes rescue cats in a series of foster homes. That means a cage-free lifestyle for these domesticated felines while they wait for a new family.

Check out the slideshow below for an onslaught of adorableness.

Luna looks like my late Duchess, down to the blue eyes (which made me fall in love with her at the shelter)! All these kitties deserve loving homes, and I hope they all get them!
