Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This sweet girl was trapped at a feral colony in Prince George's County. While she had never gotten close enough to be touched by the caretaker, she somehow knew getting in the trap was the first step to a new life. She was very comfortable and even purred in the trap!
Draco allows pets all over her head and back and rolls around purring and showing her belly. She will allow you to hold her for a few minutes but is still getting used to that type of confinement. She is a polite and patient girl while she waits for her meals and treats. She enjoys being in the presence of her humans and other kitties and loves to play with others or by herself. She carries toy mice around the house chirping as she looks for the perfect spot for it.
Draco will be most comfortable having other kitty friends as she gets used to a new home but does not have known experience with dogs. She would probably be fine with children who can be calm and gentle with her.
Draco's estimated birthdate is March 2022. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV.
Please note:
4Paws will only consider local adoptions (Northern VA / DC / MD metropolitan area)
4Paws does not adopt to students
All kittens under 6mos of age must be adopted into a home that already has another young cat/kitten; otherwise, must be adopted in pairs with a littermate

At the adoption fairs, if you meet a kitten or cat that you want to adopt, you will be asked to complete an application and contract and leave a check for the adoption fee ($120 for an adult or $145 for un-neutered kitten of which $50 is a deposit that is refunded after you provide 4Paws proof of sterilization). We ask that you pay the adoption fee up front at the fairs in order to “put a hold” on the cat until your application is processed. If your application is not approved, your check is returned to you.
Neither cats nor kittens are sent to their new homes on the day of the fair. It usually takes 4-5 days to process the application before the cat can go to his or her adoptive home. Pre-approval is an option, though. To accelerate the adoption process, you can fax a completed application and contract to us at 703-560-9795 a few days before the fair. Adoption Applications are available on this website.

Adoption fairs are held once or twice a month at various PETCO stores in Northern Virginia. The adoption fairs are usually held on Saturday’s from 1:00 to 5:00. Between 30 and 60 cats and kittens are shown for adoption at each fair—with the larger fairs generally occurring April through October.
While they are waiting to find permanent loving homes, our cats temporarily live in foster homes. The foster families bring the cats and kittens to the adoption fairs to be seen by potential adopters. Applicants have the opportunity to handle the cats and in some cases, meet the foster parents who can provide additional insight into a cat’s habits and personality.
