My personality

My story

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

Hi, I’m Goose!  I’m a super-loving 6 year old grey and white boy, who was found one morning in September wandering outside at the rescue’s clinic (I sure knew where to go for help)! I was already neutered, so I’m pretty sure I was in a home at some point, but no one stepped forward to claim me ☹  

You’re probably wondering how a cat came to be named Goose. Well, the day I was found, on my first car ride with the rescue, I was honking like a goose! The helper who was driving me actually thought her car was making a funny sound, until she peeked in on me at a stoplight and realized the source of the sound was yours truly!  

I had some tummy troubles at first, but with some meds and TLC I’m doing much better now, and I’m all ready to find my forever family.  I’ve discovered that I LOVE playing with toy catnip mice—they are my absolute favorite.  I do like to drink a lot of water (staying hydrated is important!), and I really enjoy wet food the best.  

I like sleeping in high up places like cat trees, and I definitely enjoy a good snuggle.  My humans have noticed that when they go to pick me up, I wrap my front legs around them like I’m hugging them.  One of my people’s favorite things about me is my soulful eyes…they say they are just gorgeous!

I’ve gotten along with all the other cats at my foster, although my helpers think I would also do fine in a home without other cats.  I’m not sure if I’ve ever been around dogs or kids, but I think with proper introductions I would be fine.  I’m a very laid back guy; I just want a safe home with people who love me that I can love and cuddle with! So that’s my story!  I can’t wait to meet you, we’ll have a honkin good time!

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
