My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

>>WAIVED ADOPTION FEES<<

Hello, my name is Emoticon, but my friends sometimes call me Moti. I'm pretty shy, but I am super sweet once you get to know me.

Because I'm so timid, I'm looking for a quiet home without young kids, but older kids would be alright. It would be nice for me to be adopted with a more confident cat/kitten friend if you don't already have one at home, but my foster mom thinks I'd be okay as an only kitty too, as long as you can give me a little extra time to come out of my shell.

I won't act like it at first, but I LOVE being petted and snoozing in your lap while you work, watch tv, read a book, or whatever other things humans do. I do prefer to give my love and affection on my terms, so please be patient with me while I get to know you, and get used to my new home.

Even though I'm not a kitten, I'm young and full of energy. I love dangly toys, laser pointers, and catnip mice the best. Playing with me with a nice dangly toy is a great way for me to get to know you, and still keep a distance where I feel safe. Give me some playtime and treats, and I'm sure we'll be best buds in no time!

If you are interested in meeting Emoticon, please give SVASC a call at (540) 943-5142, or email SVASC at tmeadows@co.augusta.va.us.

Remember how I said I'd love a confident cat or kitten friend? My adoption fee ($70) covers both me and a friend from SVASC. I am currently in foster care, so please call ahead and ask about Emoticon!

More about this shelter

Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center is an open admissions animal shelter and is home to dozens of animals looking for their forever homes. We are a Municipal pound for Augusta County, Staunton, and Waynesboro so we take in all strays, abandoned animals, and owner surrenders. We have 40 dog runs and about 85 cat cages.

The Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center began operation in September of 2011. Since opening, we have successfully lowered the euthanasia rates for our community! Our shelter's current save rate is 95 percent, which is the direct result of our dedicated staff and volunteers working hard to finding these animals their forever homes. Please call the shelter with any questions regarding animals found on the website for more information.

We offer help to our community through education and assistance. With the help of other organizations we are able to spay/neuter animals in our community that the owners could otherwise not afford. With the help of our community we are on a mission to save every adoptable animal in our area.
