My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hi everyone, my name is Tuli, I am so very pleased to meet you. I was found in a parking lot and couldn’t seem to find my way to safety on my own. It was tough being alone and afraid, but my situation was particularly difficult because I am a CH (cerebellar hypoplasia) kitty, and I am pretty wobbly. Imagine being very small, trying to keep out of the way of cars, not having enough to eat, and falling over onto the hard pavement just trying to walk. It was awful.

I was very lucky that a kind lady found me and brought me to King Street Cats.They were happy to help because they love CH kitties and had a foster just waiting to take care of me. It has been a few months; things are much different now and much better too. I won’t kid you, it hasn’t been all yummy foods and snuggles, though there has been lots of those. There were tummy troubles, figuring out how to eat without getting food up my nose, learning to use a litter box properly and many, many baths to clean up the results of the aforementioned tummy troubles and litter box lessons. All that is behind me now, I keep myself quite tidy these days.

I am still very wobbly put I get around and can even run a little bit, though that doesn’t always end well. I can even climb up on my foster’s bed and have found my way on to a chair or two. I like to play with soft toys and ping pong balls. I LOVE being picked up and snuggling, and will purr very loud just to be sure you know how happy I am. I am ok with other kitties.

It is time for me to find my very own family. So, I was wondering if someone who lives kind of near to King Street Cats might be willing to give me a chance (KSC only adopts in the immediate DMV area). If you think you might be my forever home, I would love to meet you.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is simple. When you come to the adoption center, you will fill out an application and a volunteer will interview you and ask about your cat knowledge and experience as well as your other pets. If your application is approved, they will help match you to the cat is perfect for your home and lifestyle. Some adult cats may be adopted singly, but we prefer to adopt out kittens in pairs unless you have a playful cat or dog already in residence to keep the kitten company.

King Street Cats asks for a $125 non-refundable adoption fee to adopt a cat or kitten, or $225 to adopt two. The fee includes:

- A cat that has been to a vet and tested for FELV/FIV. They are not put up for adoption unless the tests are negative (although sometimes we do have an FIV-positive cat that is healthy and can be adopted).
- An adult cat that is up-to-date on vaccinations before being made available for adoption. (Kittens will have had vaccinations appropriate for their age)
- Cats and kittens are spayed or neutered before they are placed for adoption. Kittens are spayed/neutered between 12-14 weeks and are then available for adoption.
- Post-adoption support: our volunteers are very knowledgeable about cat care. We encourage adopters to call us with any questions.

More about this rescue

We are proud to be the only cat-exclusive orphanage in Alexandria, Va. We have been in operation since 2003, and were previously known as The Albert Foundation for many years before becoming King Street Cats. Because we are a free-roaming and no-kill cat orphanage, we have the "cat-friendliest cats" in town! Our primary purpose is to educate and assist the community in regard to cat welfare, and to provide loving homes for the cats and kittens in our care. We accomplish this through outreach to the local community by providing information on proper cat care, behavioral problems and medical issues involving cats. We also assist local residents in locating and retrieving lost cats and assist individuals through the cat adoption process. We provide abandoned and rescued cats and kittens with a safe and secure temporary home until a permanent, loving home can be found.

We promote spaying and neutering and all our cats and kittens are sterilized and fully up-to-date on all medical care prior to adoption. We also provide post-adoption support for adopters and anyone else that needs cat care advice. Because we only work in the area of cat welfare .... we know cats! Please stop by and visit with our friendly cats.
