My personality

My story

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

Shuri is a cat who likes to enjoy life on her own terms! Found with her 3 kittens, she was more than happy to be taken in and even encouraged others to hold her kittens. She is very affectionate and loves to give little love nibbles. She lets you know when she's ready for pets with gentle head butts.  But she has a little of that classic tortie spice, and if she's not in the mood for pets, she will give you a little smack to let you know.  For this reason, she needs a calm home without young children.  

Shuri enjoys patrolling the house and checking on everyone to see what they are doing. During her routine patrols she definitely will seek you out to be affectionate and even do some nice head bunting. Between napping and patrolling she definitely let you know it's time to eat, preferring both wet and dry food but not above trying to steal a peanut butter sandwich if you aren't paying attention! Treat oriented, Shuri will expect one if you plan to put her in a crate but won't begrudge taking one just because!

She is still deciding how she feels about other cats.  She is a true tortie who likes to be the queen of her own space, and she can get growly and slappy with other cats who get too close to her. 

Shuri is VERY playful and loves toys that she can bat at, such as interactive wand toys.  She also adores play tunnels.  She needs a family who will give her lots of playtime and the chance to finally be a kitten, because this young mama was having babies of her own while she was still a baby herself.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption application to learn a bit about the home our cats will be going to and the family's motivation for adoption and expectations about pet ownership. We also have an adoption contract, which includes a no declawing and indoor-only clause along with a vet promissory note that ensures you will continue with the medical care and spay/neuter if needed.

We DO NOT do any out of state adoptions except on the NC border on a case-by-case basis.

We require a donation of $120 for adoption of unaltered kittens with a PTV Contract. All kittens receive vaccine series and wormings as well as medical treatment as needed. The adopter is responsible for obtaining their rabies vaccine and spay/neuter if the kitten is not of age at the time of adoption. We can provide resources for low cost clinics that offer these services.

We ask a donation of $25 to adopt Career/barn cats.

We require a donation of at least $140 for adoption of Spayed/neutered cat.

Bonded pairs adoption donation is $200.

Sometimes we require rental checks or home inspections. We always have a Meet n Greet to make sure everyone gets along. We encourage bringing the whole family!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our pets are available for Meet and Greets at their various fosters homes or at our kittery at Pups n Stuff in Virginia Beach for fosters who do not show animals in their home. Appointments must be scheduled in advance!

At Pups n Stuff (where we're the Stuff), you can make an appointment to come see some of our adoptable kittens. It is at 4330 Holland Rd. in Virginia Beach.

Many of our adoptable adults are located at the Catnip Cat Cafe. The Cafe is in the Ghent section of Norfolk at 1611-B Colley Ave.

We also have adoptable adults at Pembroke PetSmart, 4421 Virginia Beach Blvd in Virginia Beach.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to improve the lives of displaced cats and reduce feral cat population in Hampton Roads by socializing outdoor-born and feral kittens for adoption into loving forever homes. We are a VDACS registered 501c3 nonprofit, founded in 2014 with over 60 foster homes.

Our heart is in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return of ferals), where cats are fixed, vaccinated, ear tipped, and allowed to live out their lives without reproducing. We are advocates for advancing legal and social acceptance of TNR in Hampton Roads. Our unique feral kitten socialization program has a 90% success rate in socializing feral-born kittens to become loving, in-home pets.

We are always seeking fosters, volunteers, transporters, and trappers to join our team!

We also appreciate donations! Find our most needed items
