Young professional looking for room for self + ESA

Hi!

I'm Elliot. I'm an early-career educator, recently moved to DC from Jersey for a new job.

Looking for a medium- to large-sized room for myself and my emotional support animal, a cat. I am also looking for a shared living space that my cat would be allowed in.

I am already in DC and would prefer a sooner move-in date if possible. My budget is 1k, and I am specifically looking in NE neighborhoods so that I may be closer to work. Though, I am also interested in two in NW.

I would prefer to live with other young professionals, though I am alright with students, too. I prefer clear communication around common spaces and their upkeep. I'm pretty quiet and tend to keep to myself and am out most of the day Tuesday-Thursday with work. I also work Mondays and Wednesdays, but for shorter shifts.

My cat is named Wally. He's a six-year-old fixed male cat. He is very affectionate and adores people and having their attention and affection. Wally is very energetic and playful as well.
