If you are considering adopting cats or kittens, or need information or advice about adopting, we ask you to do the following:
| Alexa |
| Alexa is a very social kitty! |  |  |  |  |
ALEXA is very friendly, playful, and people-oriented. She is very curious and observes everything with great interest. She likes to follow you from room to room and to sit with you while you watch an entire movie! Alexa loves playing with toys and keeps herself entertained chasing balls or strings. She also enjoys interacting with you as you throw toys her way or wiggle a string around for her to chase and pounce on.
Alexa also loves to snuggle up with you in your bed at night. She doesn’t like to be alone and craves human interaction and affection. Alexa sometimes nips which can be a sign of over-stimulation when being petted or boredom. She will do best in a home without small children and where her humans are around a lot. She seems to want to be the “top cat” which means she may do best as the only cat. Or she may do fine with a kitty companion as long as she’s the first cat where a younger female is introduced later.
ALEXA was a stray kitty who showed up on someone’s doorstep begging for food. We don’t know if she was lost or abandoned but we do know that she is very loving, craves human affection, and needs a home of her own!

| Allie & Lacy |
| Allie and Lacy are sweet, beautiful girls! |  |  |  |  |  |  |
ALLIE and LACY are a great duo. Allie is more reserved and independent while Lacy is lively and affectionate. Their personalities complement each other nicely. They have grown into good companions and need to be adopted as a pair.
ALLIE is a beautiful, gentle kitty with a soft meow and a tender heart. She is quick to respond to her foster parents' call -- not knowing if this means its time to play, get her head rubbed, or get a treat! She likes to play, but is not overly rambunctious, and is perfectly happy to play by herself, too. Allie likes to sit in the window and watch the birds and squirrels, or lay in the morning sun. She greets her foster parents at the door to welcome them home. When her foster mom sits on the couch to watch TV, Allie will curl up delicately beside her with her paws on mom's lap. She also likes to "hang out" with her friend Lacy, and they often groom each other. Allie has excellent kitty manners. She is shy when meeting new people and will take a little time to adapt to a new home.
LACY is an adorable, loving kitty. She is very friendly -- she loves getting and giving affection, and her eyes are very expressive. She greets her foster parents at the door and comes running when you call her. Lacy is very playful -- she likes to play hide and seek with Allie and play with her toys. She is curious about everything and likes to be where the action is. Lacy is also very loving and likes to lie beside her foster parents on the bed or the couch. When she gets really comfortable she rolls over onto her back with her paws in the air and sleep. Lacy enjoys Allie's company and is usually the one to instigate playing or grooming. She also has very good kitty manners.
It only took a few days for the pair to steal their foster parents' hearts! Allie and Lacy are two beautiful, loving cats who deserve a home of their own!

| Annabel |
| Annabel does very well the her three feline foster siblings.
|  |  |  |  |
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
by the name of Annabel Lee,
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
- Edgar Allen Poe, Annabel Lee
Like her namesake, ANNABEL is a lovely little lady who only wants to love and be loved. She takes naps with her foster mom, as well as sleeps in her bed at night, along with her foster mom’s other kitties. Annabel has integrated herself into her foster home with 3 existing cats with little drama, attesting to her sweet demeanor. She is a little chatty - mixing meows with chirps and cute little noises - which is rather endearing. She is also quite playful batting her toy mice around! You'd never know by her activity level that Annabel is in early stages of kidney disease. She is on prescription food to keep her healthy. Our vet thinks she has many wonderful years ahead of her. Annabel was a stray kitty found outside of an apartment complex. She literally ran out of nowhere and announced herself to a kind woman who was outside walking her dog. We don't know if she was lost or abandoned. At the time she was emaciated although we don't think she had been outside very long. Annabel is a sweet, kind soul who deserves the very best home and a lifetime of love. She will give love back in spades!

| Arianne |
| Arianne loves to be held like a baby! |  |  |  |  |
ARIANNE is a very sweet cat who settles into her surroundings within minutes. She is pretty laid back and is happy to sit on your bed so you can pet her all over! She also enjoys batting toys around - especially a feather-teaser. Arianne was found emaciated under an SPCA volunteer's car looking for food and for someone to rescue her! At first we thought she was just "teenager" because she was so skinny. Now that she has filled out we know how underweight she was when first rescued. Arianne will most likely do well in just about any home with another cat, dog or kids.

| Baby (aka C.B.) |
| C.B. stands for many things...Cute Baby, Cry Baby, Cuddle Baby, Cuddle Bug! |  |  |  |
C.B. is full of personality and queen of her castle! She likes to greet you at the door to tell you how her day went and to find out about yours. She loves getting attention and when she's in the mood she likes being picked up and cuddled. If you ignore her, she'll reach for you with her paw to ask for a hug and then holds on tight once you've picked her up. She stakes out her favorite spots where she likes to sleep or be next to you. C.B. is very playful and needs plenty of interaction. She can be a little "testy" and needs a home with an experienced caretaker without young children. She may enjoy a home with a feline companion to tussle with. However, C.B. should be the "established" kitty in the household and will want to be the boss! We haven't quite settled on a name for this girl! She came into our care with the name Cry Baby. But we think Cute Baby, Cuddle Baby, or Cuddle Bug are better representations of her personality! Its hard to believe that this kitty was left behind when her family moved away. Luckily a neighbor was kind enough to bring her inside until we could take her into our care.

| Beauty |
| Beauty likes to meow at her chirping toy mouse! |  |  |  |  |  |
BEAUTY is a sweet, talkative, playful young kitty. She thrives in a quiet, low-key environment where she has time to settle in and has plenty of room to explore her surroundings. Once she settles in, she loves to be petted and likes to sit next to you or curl up with you in bed. If she thinks you aren't paying enough attention to her, she'll sit right on the keyboard as you are typing or on the book you've been reading once you set it down.
Beauty enjoys looking out the window watching the world go by and giving you "kitty kisses" by playfully grabbing your hand then licking it. Beauty loves swiping then meowing at her favorite toy -- a mouse that chirps back at her! And she goes playfully insane when you bring out her other favorite toy - the laser! If her favorite toys are nowhere to be found, Beauty wastes no time finding other "treasures" to play with -- little bottles of lotion, spoons, bottle caps or tweezers -- anything she can swat at or carry around in her mouth. The world is one big playground for this energetic kitty!
Beauty was evacuated along with her newborn kittens (all adopted) by a kind woman who scooped her off the streets as she headed to Northern Virginia, along with her two dogs, ahead of Hurricane Gustav. You can read more about Beauty's ordeal in our newsletter by clicking here and reading "Silent Stories: Hurricanes, Pets and Unsung Heroes."

| Bonzai & Buster |
| These boys are two peas in a pod!
|  |  |  |  |
BONZAI and BUSTER are two peas in a pod who love each other unconditionally. When they are exploring and lose track of each other, they meow and meow until they are reunited. Both kittens are extremely cuddly and loving because they were rescued and hand-raised by their foster mom from the ripe old age of about 4 weeks of age. They are very bonded and must be adopted as a pair.
BONZAI was the first to walk, run and play along with Buster. He is even more snuggly than Buster, and that’s saying A LOT because Buster is a cuddler. Whenever his foster mom comes home from work, Bonzai is waiting, and when she enters the room, she hears him purring a mile away! Bonzai gets very excited, jumping up on her legs and feet, begging to be picked up and snuggled. His favorite thing is being held and he loves to nuzzle his little head against your neck. He has a little crick in his tail which he's probably had since birth. This gives Bonzai an extra dose of character!
BUSTER has always been the leader among his siblings as well as the biggest one. He treated the other smaller siblings like his own. He was the first to start grooming and actually groomed the little ones before they knew how; he’s truly a loving cat. With Bonzai at his side, Buster is a curious little adventurer. He loves to explore and play, but his favorite thing to do is snuggle with his foster mom. Whenever she lays on the couch he jumps on top of her and rubs against her face and give little "kitty kisses" as if he's grooming her and taking care of her! He’s truly a loving kitten, and always wants show his affection.

| Creamsicle and Little Lion |
| These kitties are a blend of bold and beautiful colors! |  |  |  |  |  |  |
CREAMSICLE, LITTLE LION, and PRECIOUS
These kitties are quiet, energetic, and very sweet! They like to rough house, chase each others' tails, and play amongst paper on the floor. They also enjoy lying next to their foster parents, sleeping in their bed, watching the birds outdoors, and being petted! They are also thrilled with the new 5 foot cat tree in their foster home which is perfect for scratching and climbing on.
CREAM and LION are much bigger and faster than their baby sister, PRECIOUS. Even though they all play with each other, the boys are a bit too rambunctious for their sister. Cream is the bold orange and white tabby. His brother is a buff tabby - the color of a lion. These boys are very bonded and must be adopted as a pair.
PRECIOUS is a gorgeous mix of browns, grays, and oranges. She is VERY people oriented and affectionate. Precious likes being held and lays in your lap. She gives out a cute little squeak when you pet her. If you nuzzle her with your face she likes to lick your nose while squeaking and purring! Precious is very high energy but is over-powered by her much bigger brothers. She likes to carry around dead ficus leaves in her mouth then growls at everyone to leave her "prize" alone! She can be adopted along with another female SPCA kitten or into a home with an existing female kitty.(ADOPTED)

| Dusty |
| Dusty LOVES her big canine friend! |  |  |  |  |
DUSTY is a lovable and energetic kitten. She was rescued from outdoors with her three siblings by a kind family. Her siblings have all been adopted. She adapted easily to a more domestic life indoors! Dusty is very curious, loves exploring and gets along wonderfully with the three kids, two mature cats, and a big Dalmatian in her foster home. She will fit into any loving home who has at least one other cat to play and bond with.

| Gordo |
| Gordo is a BIG boy...and a gentle giant! |  |  |  |  |
GORDO is a very sweet, affectionate cat. He never gets tired of being petted and purrs endlessly to show you how happy he is! He's extremely affectionate and wants to be around people all the time. He bonded quickly with his foster dad who says Gordo "owns this place!" We recently introduced another foster cat, Twiggy, to this home. Gordo clearly wants to be the dominant cat and will do best in a home as the only cat. Because he craves affection, he needs a home with a couple or family with kids who have plenty of time for him. Gordo has become very playful with his toys and bats around toy mice or balls endlessly! This sweet boy was a stray kitty who was taken in by a kind family who affectionately named him "Gordo" because he's such a big boy! Gordo needs a forever home who will shower him with love and affection.

| Grammy |
| Grammy bonds well with other cats! |  |
GRAMMY loves being with other cats, but is shy toward people. She will do best in a home with another friendly cat or two. She enjoys hanging out with her foster mom and her cats. She also likes to sleep on her foster mom's bed at night. Grammy loves awaiting her canned food treat each night...rubbing up against her foster mom then stretching up toward the counter on her hind legs to get a good look at their treat! Grammy has been in our care since she was a young kitten. She has been overlooked for adoption because she is shy. If you already have a friendly cat or two, please consider bringing Grammy into your home.

| Gwen |
| Gwen finally gets to act like a kitten! |  |  |
GWEN is sweet, friendly, and very loving. And, full of energy! She loves to run from room to room -- jumping over everything in her path. She likes to play with strings, balls, cat nip pouches, and a laser! She zooms across the room in pursuit of the laser and gets excited when she finally is able to pounce on it. Gwen loves to hide in bags and kitty tunnels as well as climb to the top of kitty towers! She is a quiet kitty who purrs loudly when her head is scratched. She also enjoys watching television with her foster mom and is starting to like to climb into her lap when she is sitting down, perhaps to get more head scratches!
We think Gwen is making up for lost time -- she finally gets to be a kitten! She was a stray kitty who has apparently had 3 litters of kittens outside before a kind person rescued her and brought Gwen and her kittens inside. Gwen does well with the other kitties in her foster home. She needs a home with another playful kitty to bond with.

| Hemingway (aka Hemmy) |
| Hemmy was named after Ernest Hemingway who is famous for, among other things, having polydactyl cats with extra toes their paws! |  |  |  |  |
HEMMY is a very sweet, mellow, affectionate cat. He settled very quickly into his foster home spending his first day alternating between purring and snoring! Sociable and curious, he greets you as soon as you walk through the door, rubbing up against your legs. Hemmy loves to curl up next to you on the couch and sometimes climbs right onto your lap. He loves getting his head rubbed and often leans into your hand until he plops over on his side!
Hemmy also has an independent streak. He sometimes prefers to wander off and find his own little spot like an empty box or laundry basket to curl up in. And, he can get a little over stimulated with too much petting. So, he needs a home with experienced cat people who know how to read his “signs.”
Hemmy was a stray cat who literally showed up on the doorstep of an SPCA volunteer who lives on a farm in N. VA. With no close neighbors, we assume he was abandoned...which is hard for us to imagine! Hemmy will do best as the only pet in the household where he will get plenty of love and affection.

| Jericho |
| Jericho loves to play hide-n-seek! |  |  |  |  |
JERICHO is an active and lovable “teenager.” He gets along very well with the two young adult cats and laid back dog in his foster home.
Jericho is very active during the day – initiating wrestling matches with his feline friends. When the “gang of three” get going its like a NASCAR race! Jericho is very curious and likes to inspect everything in the house - bags of groceries, the mail, his foster mom’s purse! He’s very vocal at meal time and lets you know if you are not moving fast enough to prepare his dinner. He likes to carry fluffy toys in his mouth so his feline buddies can’t get them. But, Jericho’s favorite toy is to play a wagging dog’s tail.
At night, Jericho turns into a cuddle-bug! He loves to snuggle with his foster parents before they fall asleep – purring heavily and accepting gentle head rubs and massages. Once the lights are out, he cuddles between them and sleeps all night long. Once the morning arrives, he’s off racing around, asking for breakfast, and is ready for a new day. Jericho needs a home with another very active young feline or two.

| Jumper |
JUMPER is an adorable "teenager" whose favorite pastimes are playing and being petted! She definitely lives up to her name and has no fear jumping to the highest spot in the house. She was recently spotted in her foster mom's closet - on the very top shelf! She loves to play with toys - her favorites are foil balls and any type of fabric mouse she can throw up in the air and chase around. She also recently discovered Q-tips and loves to carry them around like a dog carries a bone! At night, Jumper can either be found sleeping above your head on your pillow, or next to you. She's an energetic, sweet girl who needs another young, playful cat to bond with.
Jumper is a little shy at first and likes to observe you before she feels comfortable. She came from a loving home that couldn't care for her and her siblings. Her sisters, Princess and Tigresa, are in another foster home and will be posted shortly.

| Layla |
| Layla is a very fluffy girl with huge whiskers! |  |  |  |  |
LAYLA is a very sweet cat looking for love. She lives for climbing into a warm lap and wants to be near people as often as possible. She enjoys bird watching, playing with catnip toys, and cuddling up on the couch or in bed. Although she is long-haired she does not shed much at all. Layla gets along well with other cats, but would do best in a low-key home without young children. She can be shy around new people at first, but she warms up quickly and loves anyone who takes the time to pet or play with her. Layla is a gentle kitty who is very affectionate.
Layla was abandoned outside when her guardians moved away. She managed to survive the elements for a very long time outdoors with a neighbor feeding her and bringing her inside on very cold nights. Once another neighbor, now her foster mom, learned of her plight and noticed a limp, she brought Layla inside and got her the vet care she needed. Layla is a wonderful cat who makes an amazing companion for someone wanting a kitty to love!

| Lettie & Patches |
| Patches and Letti are a playful, purring duo! |  |  |  |  |  |  |
LETTI & PATCHES are two sisters who came into SPCA's care right ahead of the BIG Virginia snowstorm! They are sisters of Harlie and Kid. These girls are very bonded and must be adopted as a pair.
LETTI is sweet, sweet girl who is also a bit shy. When she first came into SPCA's care, she was afraid of all the changes going on around her. Fortunately, Letti developed an affinity for feather toys, and can always be lured into playing with her foster family! She loves cuddling with her sister and the two adult resident cats in her foster home. Letti needs a home with people who are patient and understand her shyness.
PATCHES is more outgoing than her sister, but her nickname is "the klutz!" She loves being petted so much that she often rolls right off your lap or a couch or chair in the midst of her enthusiasm. Patches also loves to purr away when cuddled. She also loves playing - especially with toy mice. She often bats and chases them all the way down a long hallway in her foster home. <

| Lola & Lolita |
| Lola is the cuddler! Lolita is the player! |  |  |  |  |
LOLA and LOLITA are mom and daughter look-a-likes. Cole and Pepper are Lola's other two kittens. Its unusual for a mom and one of her kittens to remain bonded but they do very well as a pair. Their foster parents say they are the sweetest cats -- ever! They love to rub up against you and be petted. They are inseparable and love to sit in your lap or look out the window.
Though LOLITA is the kitten of the pair, they both enjoy chasing their toy mice! Lola and Lolita are very talkative and don't hesitate to "tell" their foster parents when they want something.
LOLA was a stray kitty rescued by a kind woman when she was pregnant and about to give birth. While Lola and Lolita adapt to new places fairly quickly, they can be a little shy at first -- preferring to watch newcomers from a distance until they know they are safe. They will do best in a home without small children.

| Maribella |
| Maribella has a cute white tipped tail! |  |  |  |
MARIBELLA has the sweetest disposition! She was her mamma's “little girl." Whenever she cried, her momma, Maritza, would respond by grooming and nuzzling her. Maribella has now convinced all three adult cats in her foster home to fill that roll. She loves all of them equally -- approaching them purring, with her head presented for grooming! Her foster siblings take turns nurturing and playing with her. Maribella also loves to play. First thing in the morning, she is ready for some action. After a signal from her foster mom, she poises in a crouch on the stairs, and gets ready to chase paper balls -- racing down the stairs to pounce on them! Maribella is shy when meeting new people and will take time to adapt to a new home. She needs an experienced cat caretaker with a stable home life who can make Maribella feel safe and secure. She also needs a home with a sweet adult cat to bond with!

| McGee & Ziva |
| McGee is the cuddler; Ziva is the sassy one! |  |  |  |  |  |  |
MCGEE and ZIVA are a typical brother - sister pair. They do a lot of playing and chasing and a bit of hissing and swatting while getting settled into a new home. But at the end of the day they really do love one another and need to be adopted as a pair.
MCGEE is the love-bug of the duo. He’s very friendly and more laid back than his sister. He loves to play with anything he can get his paws on. McGee has a little black spot on his tummy that his foster parents like to call his “purr button.” He just eats up belly rubs. He also likes to jump into your lap, no matter where you’re sitting – couch or kitchen table!
ZIVA has more sass than her brother! She’s a friendly kitty and a definite lap cat, but has more energy and is more vocal about her feelings. She likes to chirp...to get her brother’s attention or yours...whomever she can get to listen! Ziva doesn’t like to be alone and likes to follow her brother or her foster parents from room to room. She likes to be where the action is!

| Mitzi |
| Mitzi is an adorable, petite little kitty! |  |  |  |  |
MITZI is a wonderful kitty who becomes a sweet little "love bug" once she feels safe and secure with a new friend. She has bonded very well with her foster mom and loves to be petted and cuddled. Mitzi snuggles with her on the couch then follows her to bed at night. Mitzi enjoys playing with toys and gets sudden bursts of energy pouncing on them.She has a very cute "kitten-like" meow and loves to purr. Sadly, Mitzi spent the first two years of her life in a cage in a pet store. Once notified of her plight by a client, we talked with the owner of the store who agreed to release her to our care. We can't imagine how sad and lonely she must have been all alone. Its remarkable how she has adapted so well to her foster home and her foster mom. She will be timid when meeting new people and it will take a little time for her to get use to a new home. But once she settles in, Mitzi will be your companion for life!

MONA is an absolute doll! She is very friendly and is especially attached to her foster dad. She LOVES the 3 adult cats in her foster home. Mona likes to bat toys around and hang out with her feline buddies. And,she is real "ham" when it comes to the camera! She either runs around as if to say "catch me if you can" or she comes up really close to inspect the lense. Mona came into our care as a teenage mother! Her kittens - Cookie, GB, and Tummy - are also available for adoption. Mona needs to be adopted into a home with another young, friendly cat to bond with.

| Munchkin |
| Munchkin has grown a bit since she first earned her name! |  |  |
MUNCHKIN's nickname is “the energizer bunny” because she is so full of energy -- running here, there, and everywhere! She makes her foster mom laugh – a lot! If she was a dog, she would be very good at playing fetch all day long. When she stops (to sleep, that is!), Munch is a charmer. She loves getting her loving with back rubs and neck scratches. She also has no problem expressing her opinion when she wants something. Munch will be a little shy at first and is a little scared of loud noises so she needs a fairly quiet home with just one, or possibly, two friendly felines to bond and play with. Once she gets to know you, she follows you – everywhere.
This sweet kitten was found all by herself under a bush near a busy road when she was a tiny 4 week old kitten. We don’t know what happened to her mom or siblings. After getting a rough start in life, Munch is more than ready for a loving home of her own.

| Nazy |
NAZY is a very sweet and affectionate kitty! He loves being petted and climbs into his foster mom's lap to cuddle. Nazy has a "tickle spot" on his belly -- when you tickle him just right he kicks a little with his hind legs and gives love bites. He is not shy about wanting affection from his foster mom even if this means her own cat gets less attention! Nazy loves to snuggle with his foster mom at night sleeping right next to her. Nazy was rescued as a young kitten outdoors by a kind family who gave him up because the child in the household has developed asthma. Nazy is a very nice, well adjusted kitty who is ready for a family to give him lots of love and affection.

| Panther |
| Panther purrs like a 1969 Corvette and purrs often! |  |  |  |  |
PANTHER is an amazing cat who loves people just about as much as playing. He likes being kissed and petted and sitting in your lap when its his idea! He never stops entertaining himself with small gadgets he picks up around your home. He especially likes dropping hair-ties into his water bowl.
When he’s not playing, he finds a spot close to you to take a nap. If you switch rooms, he will, too.
Panther needs a home where doors are left open for him to roam from room to room. He can be very noisy if you lock him out of your room...he even demands entry rights into the bathroom! Panther is also very curious. He likes to watch you cook and is fascinated with running water. He also likes to play in the bathtub and nap in the sink (when they’re dry).
Panther talks randomly while romping around from room to room. He is also a natural alarm clock, usually beginning his walks all over you right before your alarm goes off. He’s an absolutely wonderful kitty who needs a home that showers him with affection and provides him with a feline companion.

| Pasta |
| Pasta comes running when you call her name! |  |  |  |  |
PASTA is an absolutely adorable all white kitty. She is a very sweet girl who loves to be loved. Aside from being loved, she likes wet food and hunting bugs! Pasta settled into her foster home well but is still a little shy about new things and loud noises. She and her foster sister, the 15 year old resident cat, are still getting use to each other. Pasta may do well in a home with another young cat who is less set in her ways. Or Pasta may prefer to be the only cat. She does need a relatively quite home without young children to help her settle in and feel safe and secure. Pasta was a stray kitty found outside by a kind family. Once winter began to set in, they contacted us for help to find Pasta a safe indoor home.

| Roscoe & Tommy |
| Tommy's eyes are not really turquoise - we'll get this fixed soon! :-) |  |  |  |  |
ROSCOE & TOMMY are two sweet boys who were abandoned outside when their guardian moved away. They owe their rescue to a kind gentleman who took it upon himself to care for them until he could find a rescue group to help. While these boys are otherwise healthy, they are both FIV positive.
ROSCOE (DECLAWED) is the gentle giant. He’s a little shy in new surroundings, but once he feels safe he is very loving and snuggly! It doesn't take much coaxing for him to hop up on the couch with his foster mom and watch TV for a while. Roscoe likes to roll around while being petted, flopping here and there, and rubs his face against everything when he's feeling like the center of attention! He's especially animated right before bed time and likes to play with a string dangled over him. He's not exactly up for much of a chase - he'd rather let his prey come to him – although he’s been seen taking a couple of playful swats at Tommy when they're both in the mood. Roscoe is a little bit of a talker, mostly when he's being petted or talked to.
TOMMY is gentle and watchful. He has a favorite chair where he likes to hang out to keep an eye on what’s happening in his foster home. He comes to his foster mom whenever he wants to be petted then likes to jump back up on his chair to watch again or to take a nice long nap. Tommy LOVES his breakfast and dinner, and even talks a little while his breakfast is being prepared. If he can edge out Roscoe while eating breakfast he will! Tommy also enjoys time in a hide-out box with a little window where he can keep watching! Surprisingly, he takes up surveillance only from the ground or from his chair despite nice wide window sills in his foster home. Maybe he’s saying he’s so happy to be safely indoors!

| Ruby Tuesday |
| Ruby is sweet and a little bit sassy! |  |  |  |  |
RUBY TUESDAY is a multi-dimensional kitty. She is friendly and playful. She is also sweet and independent...and just a little bit sassy!
Ruby likes to follow her foster mom around and even waits outside the shower for her to come out. She loves meeting new people and investigating new things. Ruby is a very polite and well-behaved kitty who always uses her scratching posts and never jumps on the kitchen counter (the bathroom counter is a different story!). However, her favorite past-time is being brushed, which she loves even more than her treats. And speaking of treats, she is probably the only cat you'll find who sits up and begs for treats!
Ruby is very playful and makes anything she can swat into a toy. She also loves chasing a tennis ball - even though it belongs to her canine friend, Cassie! It took Ruby a little while to get use to Cassie but now she tries to initiate play even if Cassie just stands there and looks at her! Ruby may take a little time to settle into a new place -- that's when the "sassy" side of her comes out! She is, nonetheless, a great kitty who makes a wonderful companion.

| Rufus |
| Rufus loves to chase his own tail...round and round! |  |  |  |
RUFUS is the sweetest, most adorable little guy you could ever welcome into your home. He is a very spunky and playful “teenager,” earning him the nicknames “Roofy Doofy” and “Goofball Roofy.” He chases his own tail round-and-round at LEAST once a day and emits unique chirps and melodic meows. These antics just add to his incredibly cute personality. His kitten-like playfulness and curiosity are equally matched by his cuddly affection. Every evening around 8 pm he is ready to curl up on his foster mom’s lap for a long pet and much-deserved nap. Then you hear his soft purr rumbling up from his sleek little belly.
Rufus is being fostered with two adult cats. He is credited with reviving their energy level and all three take turns chasing each other in circles around the house for exercise. Rufus is the first to declare “surrender” and flop on his belly when he is ready for a rest. He came into our care, along with his mom and two sisters, when he was about two weeks old. Rufus is looking for a home with at least one other very playful kitty and humans who want to give and receive lots of love!

| Sundance |
| Sundance is a sleek, shinny beauty! |  |  |  |  |
SUNDANCE is a dainty lady who loves to be groomed and doted upon. She likes to play first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and takes advantage of cat naps in sunny places in between her romps. Her favorite toy in the whole world is a pull tab from a frozen orange juice can! She purrs all the time and is very happy being the "queen of her castle." She thrives in a loving home without small children and other pets.
Sundance was rescued in North Carolina by a retired couple who brought her home to Virginia. Here she gave birth to five kittens who have all been adopted into loving homes.

| Tinker & Taylor |
TINKER and TAYLOR are quite a pair! They are loving and gentle with people and each other. They like to show their affection toward people by "asking" for petting and with each other by softly butting heads.
TINKER and TAYLOR have had some ups and downs in their young lives. They initially came into our care four years ago after being bottle fed as tiny orphaned kittens. They were adopted by a young couple years ago, but recently returned to SCPA's care after a job loss led their caretakers to move in with family members who apparently wouldn't make room for them as well. Sadly, with the distress in their own lives, their caretakers didn’t notice that Taylor was in distress as well. Due to an untreated upper respiratory condition, once coming back into our care, Taylor was hospitalized with a partially collapsed lung. After intensive care and proactive treatment, Taylor is doing wonderfully. He takes a small daily dose of steroids which he gobbles down in a “pill pocket.” These boys have never been apart and must be adopted as a pair. They need a home without young children.
TINKER is very outgoing and loves to meet new people, especially if you promise to pet him! He comes running like a dog when you call his name. He always has more love to give you. Tinker likes to nudge you with his head or stick out his paw toward you asking for attention. He loves being petted or scratched behind his ears. Tinker also loves to bat around toys that make lots of noise!
TAYLOR is as sweet as can be. He’s a little more reserved and independent than Tinker. Once he gets to know you, he likes to lay down next to you and sleep for hours on end. Taylor also likes his fair share of petting and scratching. If he sees that Tinker is getting some attention, he comes around to ask for affection, too! Taylor is such a sweet and loving cat.
