My name is Princess!

Princess is a lovely cat with a gentle heart, but she's on the shy side and needs a special home where she can feel safe and secure. This sweet girl prefers a calm, low-energy environment that allows her to thrive without the stress of loud noises or sudden movements.

While she may hiss in the presence of children and can become defensive when feeling threatened, Princess just needs a little extra patience and understanding. She's not a fan of restraint, nail trims, or anything that disrupts her sense of security, like vacuums or loud sounds. In situations where she feels cornered, she may feel the need to defend herself, especially if approached too quickly or unexpectedly.

Princess will do best as the only pet in a quiet household where she can take her time to adjust and build trust. In the right environment, she has the potential to be a loving and loyal companion. She loves her space and appreciates a serene atmosphere where she can relax and feel at ease.

If you're looking for a special feline friend who needs a gentle touch and a peaceful home, consider giving Princess the safe haven she deserves. Together, you can create a bond built on trust and understanding. Come meet her today!

If you'd like to meet our available animals, please check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalshelter/adopt
