Lacey is a gorgeous and friendly female cat. She came to the shelter as a stray and is seeking a loving home. Lacey’s orange-brown tabby coat looks like sweet potato pie and her demeanor is also sweet as pie! She has friendly little meow and a soft purr. Lacey loves being pet and will speak up if you stop to say, “excuse me ma`am, don’t stop petting me please’”! Lacey came to the shelter with a pelvic fracture, likely from being hit by a car. Our veterinarian suspects that the fracture will likely heal on its own with continued exercise restriction. No salsa dancing for Lacey! That’s all in the hips. Lacey has a recheck appointment to get x-rays scheduled at Pender Veterinary Centre for Friday, November 15th, at which point the doctors will reassess her progress. All she needs is a ride to the doctor from her new family! Lacey’s new family should continue to monitor Lacey as she recovers and seek out veterinary care as needed. Lacey is really the purrfect cat and would do well in any caring and dedicated home. Sound like the one for you? Come adopt Lacey the pretty kitty, today!
If you`d like to meet our available pets, 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

1 - Look at adoptable pets online, and when you see one you want to meet and possibly adopt, come into the shelter to visit with your prospective pet.
2 - Once at the shelter, walk through to see available pets and then visit with the one(s) you are considering adopting. A volunteer or staff member will facilitate the visit and tell you more about the pet you’re visiting.
3 - Once you decide that you would like to adopt, head to the main lobby to complete our brief adoption questionnaire and wait to speak with one of our adoption counselors to go over any questions you might have. We'll go over all of the available behavioral and medical history of the pet you want to adopt.
4 - Complete your adoption! Most pets can go home the day they are adopted, but some must be picked up one or two days later after their spay/neuter appointment.
Notes: 1) Some pets are in foster homes, and that is noted in their bio. If you are interested in a pet who is in a foster home, please email the shelter to arrange a visit. 2) Some special needs animals will be adopted on a best-fit basis, rather than the usual first-come-first-served.

More about this shelter
The Fairfax County Animal Shelter is Fairfax County’s only open-access municipal shelter. We take in stray animals in need, owner surrendered companion animals when the owner is no longer willing or able to care for them, and animals who have been seized or taken into custody by Animal Protection Police. We accept all companion animals from Fairfax County who are in need of care, regardless of health, age, temperament, or history. We do not euthanize for space or length of time, and all adoptable animals are given every opportunity for a new home and family. We have an incredibly compassionate staff, and we also have vibrant and active volunteer and foster programs. We know that every animal who enters our shelter will be given the best care and shown boundless love while they are in our care, and while they wait for their forever family to adopt them. We are very proud that, since 2013, our positive release rate has been over 90% each year!
