My story

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

Sassy and Raven's Personalities

These sisters are sweet, friendly, and well-adjusted kittens. They are curious and moderately playful, and amazingly well-behaved! Their foster mom has trained them to use scratching posts made of sisal and cardboard.They are snugglers and love to cuddle with their foster mom. Sassy and Raven are bonded and must be adopted together.

SASSY (black and orange tortoiseshell) is the happiest girl and bolder than her sister, Raven. She greets you with trills and meows and loves, loves, loves belly rubs. She literally throws herself on the ground, rolling over and begging you to rub her belly. Sassy loves to play with her sister, Raven, and makes the cutest trilling sounds when playing with her toys and tearing through paper packaging and cardboard boxes. She likes to carry plush toys around in her mouth, growling to warn you to stay away from her prey. Sassy is so adorable and always ready to play.

RAVEN (black) is the smallest in the litter. "Little Raven" is very curious and loves to try new things first. This sweet girl will be shy initially with new people, but once she gets to know you, she will be your loving companion. Raven is very playful and likes to steal the resident cat's purple bat toy to drag around - even though the toy is half her size! Raven does this despite the fact that the resident kitty is very spicy and likes to command her little kingdom. Raven also loves to be picked up and held for cuddles and has the sweetest personality and meow.

What Type of Home They Need

Sassy and Raven need a quieter home where Raven will be given a little time to adapt. They will do fine with a single person or a couple. A family with an older child (about 12 years or older) would be fine as long as the child has experience with cats and understands that Raven will be shy initially. They have learned to respect the spirited adult cat in their foster home and steer clear of her when she wants to be left alone!

Where They Came From

These girls were rescued from outdoors when they were young kittens, along with their two brothers, Wesley and Wrangler (adopted). They adapted quickly to living indoors and are happy, well-adjusted kittens.

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.

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.
