My story

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

Charlotte and Louis’s Personalities

This sister/brother pair is sweet, loving and playful. They enjoy playing and cuddling together. They are a bonded pair who must be adopted together.

CHARLOTTE (female, tortoiseshell/calico) is an absolutely beautiful tortie/calico girl, sweet and completely lacking in the famous "tortitude." You can see the C for Charlotte right there on her chin, so you never forget her name. She is also a lap cat and very affectionate. Charlotte is very intelligent and curious; you can see her little cogs turning. She loves computer screens and is up on your desk if you let her. Charlotte loves high-up places and climbs to the highest place in your house just for fun. She also gives you great head/face kisses and loves to cuddle.

LOUIS (male, black) has a soft, lustrous coat that you’ll love caressing as he sits on your lap demanding attention. If Louis likes you, he’ll lick your nose. Charlotte is his best friend and he loves to give her baths. He is very friendly and sociable. Louis is hilarious with toys, grabbing them and making tiny growls while running all over the house with them. He especially loves realistic bird feather toys. If you throw a toy for him, he fetches it and brings it back to you. Louis is initially shyer than his sister and takes a little time before he feels comfortable in a new home.

What Type of Home They Need

Charlotte and Louis need a home where they get plenty of love and affection. Their new home needs to be relatively quiet with caretakers who give Louis a little time to settle in. They have not been exposed to children but once settled in, they may do fine with older kids over about 10 years of age who know how to respect kitties as they settle in. They have not been exposed to dogs.

Where They Came From

Charlotte and Louis came into our care from a loving home when their caretaker realized that her failing health required her to find them a new home.

PLEASE NOTE: we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.

Please see our adoption guidelines at https://spcanova.org/about-us/adoption-policies/.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Please read our cat adoption guidelines (at http://www.spcanova.org/). We put a lot of financial and emotional support into our cats and want them placed in homes where they will be members of the family for the rest of their lives. Indoor cats, with care, can live up to 20 years. Not everyone agrees with all of our guidelines. Please read our explanations and talk to our volunteers. If you disagree with us, we suggest you adopt a cat from a different source such as a local shelter. When you adopt a cat from us, you must sign a legal contract stating that you will comply with our guidelines. The adoption fee is $150 for one cat and $250 for two.

For those interested in cat adoptions, all potential adopters must read our adoption guidelines (available on our website at www.spcanova.org), then meet the cat in person either at an Adoption Fair or in their foster home. We take applications only after you've met the cat and we both feel it's a good match.

All adopters interested in adopting a dog must meet the dog in person, and submit an application. A housecheck is done, and references are checked. If approved, the dog will be placed in the home for a two-week trial period, to make sure that it is a good "fit" for both people and dog. If it is, the adoption is finalized and the adoption fee is paid. We do not adopt outside of the Washington DC metro area.

Go meet their pets

Our dogs are available to meet at twice monthly adoption events in Fairfax, VA.

Our cats are available to meet you in their foster homes
by appointment weeknights or weekends.

More about this rescue

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Northern Virginia is a non-profit, all-volunteer, private organization established by local concerned citizens to rescue domestic animals from cruelty, neglect, and abandonment. We receive all our funding from membership dues, donations, and fundraising events. We are always striving to enlarge our animal rescue operations and expand our services to the community. Our voluntary Board of Directors, committee members, and volunteers are responsible for all SPCA activities. We do not have a shelter facility, and depend on foster parents to care for domestic animals until adoption.
