My personality

My story

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

Hi, my name is Tulip!  I’m a very dainty and pretty 2 year old tabico girl, who was found as a stray by a really nice cat lady.  She noticed that I was often outside, even in really hot weather, and that I seemed really hungry.  One day I decided I’d just go on into her house with her cause I really needed help!  That lady brought me to the rescue, who discovered I had an owner and contacted them but…..my owner decided to surrender me.☹

No one (including me!) can understand why, because I am the sweetest, gentlest girl, and I absolutely adore people.  I’m very talkative, and I love to get pets and snuggles.  I got skinny while I was outside, so I really get chatty when I’m hungry for more food.  I like wet and dry food, I’m not picky!  

I don’t really seem to mind other cats, but I don’t seem to need them around either.  I do okay with them as long as they don’t get too close while I’m eating….If they do, there is an uncharacteristic hiss headed their way!  I’m not sure if I’ve ever been around dogs.  I think I would be fine with older kids who are gentle and respectful with me.  I need a pretty calm home, where I can have lots of interaction and attention from my family.  

I’m a very chill girl, content to take cat naps in cozy spots, stay near my humans and get lots of loves.  I haven’t really gotten that into toys yet, but I think maybe no one ever really played with me before, so this is new to me.  I would like if you and I could try out some playtime together and find things I enjoy!  I REALLY like being up high, so I’ll need a good cat tree for climbing.  And I like cozy fluffy beds for sleeping in.  

But most of all, I am looking for a home where I will always be an indoor girl, loved and treasured.  After having been neglected, I am eager to soak up all the love and security of a forever family.

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!

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
