My story

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

>>WAIVED ADOPTION FEES<<

Hi, my name is Professor Utonium, and boy have I come a long way from the sick, icky kitten I was back when my four sisters and I were dropped off at SVASC last summer! Now I'm beautiful, healthy, and ready to go to my forever home.

I can be a little shy with new people, but my curiosity gets the best of me pretty quickly, and I'll come out from hiding to check things out. Once I am comfortable with a person, I want to be their best friend. I love being with my person, and my foster mom says I give some of the best purrs and snuggles around.

I know cats are known for how much they sleep, but that's not all I do. Since I am a professor, I'm also conducting very important research on the effects of gravity on human made objects when acted on by an external force. I'm currently in the experimental phase of this research, so I can often be found around the house gently encouraging things like pens, paperclips, and chapstick off desks, and shelves.

Don't worry, while my research is important, I find time for fun, too. I love zooming around the house playing with my littermates and foster siblings, pouncing on catnip mice, and leaping after those fishing pole type toys.

If you are interested in getting to know me, don't hesitate to give SVASC a call at (540) 943-5142, or email SVASC at svasc@co.augusta.va.us.

My adoption fee is $70, which includes all of my vetting. I am currently in foster care, so please call ahead and ask about Professor Utonium!

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.
