My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Currently in a KSC Foster Home 
 
The Beatles Kittens are a wonderful litter of four.  Their very friendly pregnant mom was found outside and brought to King Street Cats, where she went to a foster home to have and raise her kittens in a safe and healthy environment.   The kitten’s mother (Mimi) was absolutely devoted to her babies and the kittens had an idyllic childhood.
 
Joanie’s coat is so shiny and she has a tiny white spot under her neck (which is just a bit smaller than her identical sister Georgia’s spot) and a little white on her tummy. Joanie is a purr machine; in fact, it is hard to find the off button for Joanie’s purrs. Joanie is a huge cuddler, she will happily fall asleep in your arms belly up while getting loved on.  She, like her sister Georgia, thinks the best place on earth is sleeping in bed with her people/person. Joanie is spunky, sweet, brave and always up for a play session or family rumble .   Joanie and her matching sister Georgia are particularly cuddly and cute together.  Joanie is a devoted bird watcher and likes to nap in a window to watch her “friends” the birds. Joanie is also a champion napper and gets into the cutest positions when she naps, which frequently include advanced yoga positions or limbs hanging off of the perch she is on. Oh, to be able to nap like a kitten!
 
The kittens have good manners, always use their litter box, use their scratching post, and eat and drink well.   Joanie will make a great addition to any home, an affectionate, cuddly, confident little one.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is simple. When you come to the adoption center, you will fill out an application and a volunteer will interview you and ask about your cat knowledge and experience as well as your other pets. If your application is approved, they will help match you to the cat is perfect for your home and lifestyle. Some adult cats may be adopted singly, but we prefer to adopt out kittens in pairs unless you have a playful cat or dog already in residence to keep the kitten company.

King Street Cats asks for a $125 non-refundable adoption fee to adopt a cat or kitten, or $225 to adopt two. The fee includes:

- A cat that has been to a vet and tested for FELV/FIV. They are not put up for adoption unless the tests are negative (although sometimes we do have an FIV-positive cat that is healthy and can be adopted).
- An adult cat that is up-to-date on vaccinations before being made available for adoption. (Kittens will have had vaccinations appropriate for their age)
- Cats and kittens are spayed or neutered before they are placed for adoption. Kittens are spayed/neutered between 12-14 weeks and are then available for adoption.
- Post-adoption support: our volunteers are very knowledgeable about cat care. We encourage adopters to call us with any questions.

More about this rescue

We are proud to be the only cat-exclusive orphanage in Alexandria, Va. We have been in operation since 2003, and were previously known as The Albert Foundation for many years before becoming King Street Cats. Because we are a free-roaming and no-kill cat orphanage, we have the "cat-friendliest cats" in town! Our primary purpose is to educate and assist the community in regard to cat welfare, and to provide loving homes for the cats and kittens in our care. We accomplish this through outreach to the local community by providing information on proper cat care, behavioral problems and medical issues involving cats. We also assist local residents in locating and retrieving lost cats and assist individuals through the cat adoption process. We provide abandoned and rescued cats and kittens with a safe and secure temporary home until a permanent, loving home can be found.

We promote spaying and neutering and all our cats and kittens are sterilized and fully up-to-date on all medical care prior to adoption. We also provide post-adoption support for adopters and anyone else that needs cat care advice. Because we only work in the area of cat welfare .... we know cats! Please stop by and visit with our friendly cats.
