My story

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

Meet Pigeon - The Playful and Curious Brown Beauty!

Pigeon is a beautiful brown juvenile female kitten whose playful and curious nature is sure to steal your heart. With boundless energy and a love for feline companionship, Pigeon is ready to bring joy and fun to your home.

Pigeon is very often playful and energetic, showcasing her lively spirit and love for interactive play. While she can sometimes be calm, she is rarely laid back, preferring active engagements over quiet moments. Although she is often shy, she rarely feels fearful, showing a gentle curiosity about her surroundings.

As a social butterfly, Pigeon gets along well with other cats but prefers to avoid or ignore dogs. She enjoys chasing toys along the ground and pouncing on them, engaging in playful activities that keep her entertained. Her love for watching the world from the window reflects her curious nature and desire to explore.

While she hasn't been exposed to children in her foster home, Pigeon is reserved but approachable by known adults and is selective in her interactions with strangers. She is working on socialization and cannot yet be comfortably picked up for handling. However, she tolerates being petted and scratched if approached slowly and gently.

Pigeon is a very playful girl who adores her sister Dove and does well with other cats. She enjoys interactive play and will tolerate being petted and scratched, especially if approached with patience and care. Her love for feline companionship makes her a delightful addition to any home seeking a playful and curious companion.

If you're looking for a lively and curious kitten who loves feline friends and enjoys playful activities, Pigeon is the perfect match. Don't miss the chance to welcome this playful beauty into your home and experience the joy and fun she has to offer!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Adoption events are held regularly in the community at Petco Winchester VA every other Saturday. Additional events are held at area festivals, wineries, breweries, and parks. Approved adopters can schedule a private meet and greet with their chosen pet. Same day adoptions are not done, so please apply in advance of any adoption event to give us time to check vet and personal references and to complete the video home visit.
