Bombay kittens & cats in Arlington, Virginia

Meet Greg – Your Sleek, Social Shadow 🖤 Greg is a handsome three-year-old gentleman weighing in at a petite 8.8 pounds. This striking black domestic shorthair has all the glamour of a mini Bombay cat—jet-black, glossy fur, glowing amber eyes, a muscular little frame, and even a touch of white tucked inside his ears. He’s truly a showstopper. His foster mom calls him “the perfect cat,” and it’s easy to see why. Once Greg settles in, he blossoms into an affectionate, attentive companion who loves pets and cozy lap time—without being clingy or demanding. He enjoys being near his person, making biscuits contentedly, and sharing quiet snuggles. Greg is playful and social, especially with other cats. He would REALLY love a home with friendly feline companions to wrestle, chase toys, and curl up beside. If another cat isn’t interested? No drama—Greg simply moves along. He’s all about good vibes. He also happily entertains himself with curly pipe cleaners, soft toys, and an enthusiastic game of toy chase with his people. While he’s not big on being held for long stretches, he’s perfectly fine with being picked up. He has excellent manners—faithful to the litter box, devoted to scratching posts, cooperative with nail trims, and always ready for mealtime. He’s also delightfully expressive, with a charming range of soft meows, happy trills, and contented sighs. Greg may need a little time to adjust to a new home. A cozy safe spot, gentle head rubs, a welcoming feline friend, and maybe a bit of tuna will quickly win him over. He especially loves bird and squirrel watching—and yes, his favorite bed comes with him! If you’re looking for a sleek, sweet companion who thrives with feline friends and brings both playfulness and affection to the table, Greg is your guy. Meet him in Arlington, VA Posted 2/28/26

Black Velvet lives with her sister Skittle, and they are both solid black, but 'Velvet' has an old scar on her head. Rescued near Manassas, she and her sister are learning to trust humans in a safe place, and she is beginning to make progress. You can pet her and she is food motivated so that helps in her trust department. She would be a project cat that you will most certainly be able to make progress when she gets to her forever home.

Sweet Melvin is as friendly as they get. He is FIV and FELV positive, but healthy and does not need to be on medication to maintain his health. He would be best suited as an 'only-child' in your home or homed with another cat of the same diseases so as to not infect another healthy cat. Melvin has a long, happy life ahead of him and he just needs that forever home to give him the daily love that he deserves with space to roam. Come for a visit today to find your forever fur-baby! We hope you choose Melvin!
