My story

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

If you’ve been looking for a kitty to be your shadow, your best friend, and your cuddle buddy or simply an adorable addition to add to your fur family well then look no further! I am the kitty that you are looking for! My name is TC, I am a young, male, spotted tabby. I am super affectionate and love to be pet and cuddled, which makes me a favorite with small kids too. I have no fear of other cats or dogs and I get along with everyone. I will follow you around and keep you company which means we will become fast best friends. If I am the kind of kitty that fits what you’ve been looking for then I’m super ready to join your family!

TC's estimated birthdate is December 2023. He is neutered, current on vaccines, tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV, and will be microchipped before he goes home.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

At the adoption fairs, if you meet a kitten or cat that you want to adopt, you will be asked to complete an application and contract and leave a check for the adoption fee ($120 for an adult or $145 for un-neutered kitten of which $50 is a deposit that is refunded after you provide 4Paws proof of sterilization). We ask that you pay the adoption fee up front at the fairs in order to “put a hold” on the cat until your application is processed. If your application is not approved, your check is returned to you.

Neither cats nor kittens are sent to their new homes on the day of the fair. It usually takes 4-5 days to process the application before the cat can go to his or her adoptive home. Pre-approval is an option, though. To accelerate the adoption process, you can fax a completed application and contract to us at 703-560-9795 a few days before the fair. Adoption Applications are available on this website.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Adoption fairs are held once or twice a month at various PETCO stores in Northern Virginia. The adoption fairs are usually held on Saturday’s from 1:00 to 5:00. Between 30 and 60 cats and kittens are shown for adoption at each fair—with the larger fairs generally occurring April through October.

While they are waiting to find permanent loving homes, our cats temporarily live in foster homes. The foster families bring the cats and kittens to the adoption fairs to be seen by potential adopters. Applicants have the opportunity to handle the cats and in some cases, meet the foster parents who can provide additional insight into a cat’s habits and personality.
