Story
We took in this sweet stray at the end of August with a belly full of kittens. We have found homes for all of her kittens and now we are trying to find her a home as well. We were going to try and keep her but she does not get along with the 2 cats we already have. We think she would do best as a single kitty. She is super sweet. Loves to be held. Loves pets. Loves to play fetch. Now she just needs a permanent home.

Story
Sienna is about 6 months old and is a very cuddly and loving Torbie. She can be very playful at times, as she is still a kitten, however she loves sitting in laps and laying her head down on anyone. She came from the SPCA and I cannot house her anymore because I am moving out of the country, so she needs a loving home.

Story
Luna Is1.5 and a very sweet girl. I got her when she was 8 weeks old from the Richmond SPCA. She is a bit shy at first and can get spooked by loud noises, but once she becomes comfortable with a person and her environment, she is very playful, friendly, and gentle. She enjoys cuddling and attention, but only on her own terms, as I like to say. She prefers when someone sits down and relaxes so she can approach them on her own for affection and cuddles. I’ve noticed that Luna does really well with training, especially when I redirect behaviors using repetition and rewards (treats). I have a big family, so it took her a little longer to interact with everyone in the house since she likes to be aware of her surroundings. She does best with one-on-one interactions. The only reason I am considering rehoming Luna is because I now work full time and am also a full-time student, which means I am out of the house most of the time. I feel bad that I can’t give her the attention she deserves.

Story
3 very cute almost all black kittens which are 3 months old. The mother cat was abandoned in an open air garage and gave birth to 6 kittens. These are the 3 females and they need a loving home soon. I have done my best to care for them exceptionally, but the stress has gotten to me. I need them gone and want them to be treated very well. They’ve been inside since I found them with their eyes still closed and I’ve given them top of the line food as well. Please reach out, they are adorable.

Story
I rescued Hinami at ASPCA when she was 2 months old. Her, her siblings and mother were found on the street. She is now 4 years old, she is the sweetest girl . She is indoor only, shy at first, but once she warms up she loves to cuddle, loves playing fetch and being right up under you. I unfortunately work 50+ hours a week and not home like I used to be and noticed is having a hard time with that. I’m looking for someone who can give her the attention she deserves. She truly is a sweetheart. She has never lived with another cat so I’m not familiar with how she would be with one, however I do have a service dog that she gets along with!

Story
I adopted Cleo three years ago while I was a student in college. She is about four and a half years old. Since then, I have moved in with my partner who also has a cat. The cats do not get along at all, and it always results in Cleo hiding away for all hours of the day or being attacked. Cleo is very timid, but such a great cat for someone who has no other pets. She does get along very well with our dog, but only because the dog is very calm. Cleo loves humans and attention! She is definitely very vocal, so that would have to be acceptable. I’m able to keep Cleo until I’m able to find the perfect home for her. I only ask for an adoption fee so that I know the person is serious about adopting a pet and is financially responsible enough to care for her.
