Birman kittens & cats in Alexandria, Virginia

Chanel is a proper prom queen. She's got The Look. She's got The Personality. She's got...Diarrhea? Well, sometimes, yeah. Before we talk about her special needs when it comes to "powdering her nose", we want to properly introduce Miss Popularity - Miss Chanel. A social butterfly who loves to play with other kitties and even small dogs, she's like one of those popular girls who is popular because she's SO pretty and SO nice and SO cool and you almost hate her but can't help but to love her because she's just so....PURRFECT. Even Chanel's hobbies help highlight her best features: she stares out the window at birds and squirrels, catching the sun in her perfect blue eyes. When she naps, she curls up with her foster mom with her soft, gorgeous fur and smells like lavender and sunshine (well, we don't know that for sure, but just look at her. that's our guess). She even has a big room all to herself, but honestly, that's the part we're hoping to change. Chanel came to AARF as an extremely tiny kitten and due to a congenital condition that resulted in an inability to pass poo, she underwent a surgery that removed most of her colon. After over two years of healing and care with her foster family, she is finally ready for adoption. Chanel is on a special diet along with B12 and probiotics that help keep the booty-floods at bay. Now and then, there may be a drop of poo, but honestly, a little scat shouldn't dissuade you from adopting this otherwise perfect cat. Chanel has blossomed in her foster home, but spends much of her time in a big, comfy private room - when she would much prefer run of the house with a family of her home. She's labeled "Special Needs", but honestly, her needs are primarily a family that will maintain her diet, and give her the endless love she deserves. If you want to go home with this Prom Queen, contact us to learn more about her!My adoption fee is $150.00 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare kitties like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we've already been spayed/neutered (if age appropriate) and microchipped. We've been checked by a veterinarian, and we're up to date on age appropriate immunizations against rabies and FVRCP (feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia). Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!

Sir Snowball Swankypants is one sophisticated fella. He is obviously ABSOLUTELY HANDSOME but he packs a ton of personality bundled up in that floofy fur coat of his. Swanky, as his friends call him, has been through quite a big change recently as his owner, the love of his life, had to ask our rescue to find him a new home as she was suffering with dementia. Swanky was very attached to his person and quite sad when he came to his foster home, but with time and patience, he's shown us his true personality which is a super sweet and silly guy. He is such a love bug and enjoys head boops to get your attention for lots and lots of pets. He doesn't mind being picked up and held like a teddy bear once he gets to know you, and he makes adorable air biscuits, stretching his long front legs out and kneading the air with happiness. Swanky is a playful 8 year old boy and enjoys all of his toys, especially wand toys he can chase and small balls or mice to bat around. He's recently started to join his foster family at the foot of the bed for night time cuddling, and boy does he have a purr motor on him! We know Swankypants is going to take some time to adjust in a new environment all over again and he will need a cat experienced, patient, and understanding family to give him space to decompress. He can get overstimulated during this adjustment period and we will want to ensure that his new family is absolutely ready to let him settle in, not rushing him or giving up quickly. Swankypants has never lived with other animals but in his foster home he is curious and non-reactive to other adult cats. We do not believe he will like dogs and think a quiet home without small children is best. This amazing boy is so deserving of a wonderful forever home to help him continue healing his broken heart!
