I have to find a new home because, try as I might, I just don't get
along with other boy cats. The home into which my dad is moving already
has a male cat in it and it appears that I have drawn the short straw.
I am a 3 year old gray tabby and all around sweet guy, who is timid
in a new environment but who warms up quickly. I love a lot of attention
but true to my species I prefer it on my own terms. While I'm not
a lap cat, I think that lying next to you while you watch TV or read
or cuddling with you at night are every bit as important. I will give
you head bumps, will rub against you, and put my head under your hand
to encourage you to pet me. When my dad comes home, I'm there to greet
him. When I become nervous or scared I will hide in a cabinet. Didn't
know that some cats can open and close cabinet doors did you? My not
so secret and harmless vice is catnip; I love the stuff and could
be called a bit of a nip head. To learn more about me and to give
me my forever home please call Jamie at (804) 514-2206. |

I was born in Tennessee, but relocated to Virginia when I secured
the position of beloved companion to a very special grandmother. It
is sad, but true, that I have outlived my gentle person and now I
must find not only a new guardian, but a new home as well. I am a
young for my age 10 and my favorite pastimes with my human mom were
sitting next to her on the sofa watching TV or snuggling up next to
her in bad at night. I like a quiet house without children or other
cats. Nice dogs are interesting to me and tolerable. I would thrive
in a home that needs the love and company of a furry friend. I do
not have front claws, but I do have a cute little rump unadorned by
the tail you find on ordinary cats. Please give me the opportunity
to share my days and love with you. Please call Sara at (804) 539-9253
and she can tell you more about me and arrange for us to meet. |

Our momma cat and 3 siblings were trapped a while back and since our
rescue we have been living with our foster mom Wanda's family. We
are about 5 ½ months old as of 9-22 and have been neutered and provided
with all the vaccinations that we should have. We found polite society
pretty alien and off putting at first, but we have developed into
very loving and sweet kitties. There's nothing like the love and gentle
attention of someone like our foster mom to convince a cat that the
world is a good place after all. Sammy is such a baby boy, reveling
in having mom hold him like a baby and sing to him. He likes everyone,
including our family's little dog Sassy. Mandy is a bit more reserved,
but she is equally loving and gentle. Please call Wanda at 804-218-0955
to arrange to meet us. We know that you will fall in love and give
us that forever home that we have been praying for. |

Hi, we are siblings and would like to be adopted together because
we love to play with each other. But we know this is probably impossible,
so just as long as we can find 3 good, warm homes with people to love
each of us! We are 4 months old (April Fool's babies) and were born
to a neighborhood stray. Some kind people have kept us and our mother
fed and well in health. She said she would spay/neuter us through
PAL on August 21st. If you can love us and give us a good home, please
call my people at 540-872-2320 and leave a message. |

Hi, I'm Cooper and I am some 16 pounds of big handsome boy cat. I
have beautiful plush long black fur with sable highlights and great
eyes. You are surely asking yourself why a wonderful cat like me is
in need of a new home. Well, the problem is that I require a home
where I am the only cat. While I am fine with dogs, that's not the
case with other felines. Other than that one minor flaw, I am very
affectionate and loving, and I even love to play fetch! I am totally
up to date on my vaccinations and my parents have always made sure
that I had good veterinary care. To learn more about me and then to
take me home with you, please call Susan at (804) 370-1836. |

It's as clear as the nose on your face, or rather it's as clear as the number 1 on my face; I'm the girl for you! My present mom and dad call me Little One for the golden numeral that sits on my nose and over my right eye. For reasons that I don't really understand I have to leave my human family which includes two children aged 11 and 15, another older female cat, and Guss the big poodle. I tend to be on the reserved and bashful side, but I am very, very loving. It will take me a little while to adjust to a new home, but what a cuddler I'll be once I am confident of my new surroundings. I have always been strictly an indoor kitty and that cannot change. Other than that, as is the case with many cats, I have had the occasional urinary tract infection. For that reason I should be on a food designed to prevent them and even if I get one, it is easily cleared up with a course of antibiotics. My mom says that I am very easy to give pills to. I am 3 years old as of 5-4-09 and am just a good little girl. For more information about making me an integral and important part of your family, please call Dr. O'Sullivan at Countryside Vet (804) 750-1694. Just tell him you want to talk about a new home for Cammie. |

Our person is no longer able to care for us and blessedly the kind
folks at Quioccasin Veterinary have taken us in and are bestowing
much love on us. We are up to date on all our medicals and the only
thing we need is a loving, forever home of our own. We are making
the best of our new situation in life, but do you have room in your
heart and home for either or both of us? |
Autumn (Declawed) "Now Can't You Just Feel Autumn In The Air?" |
My name is Autumn and it is true to my gorgeous colors. I am a longer
haired tortie tab, in the prime of my life at only 8 years of age,
and now I must find another home as my new human brother is allergic
to me. While I am skittish with strangers at first and will hide,
once I get used to you I just love being a lap kitty. My mom works
from home and I am always by her. I come with litter box, kitty tower,
and food and all you have to supply is lots of love and understanding
and a forever home. To meet me contact Wendy at (804) 739-4649. |

We are 10 weeks old as of 9-15 and were born in our foster mom's parent's
backyard. We have been fully vetted and are healthy, unbelievably
sweet, and anxious to have forever homes. |
SWK (Sweet White Kitty) "Now What Else Would You Call Such A Fine Girl Kitty? Adopt And Love Me And You Can Call Me Anything You Wish." (Adopted!) |
I am going by the initials SWK (sweet white kitty) and the vet thinks
I am about a year old. I have been spayed, given all my shots, de-ticked/wormed/flea
preventative and do not have feline AIDS. I use my litter box perfectly.
During the last six weeks, my foster parents have helped me with some
shyness and I love to be stroked especially on my head and neck. I
will lean up against them, but am not quite a lap kitty yet. I have
been introduced to their four other cats and was initially quite scared,
but I'm getting a bit more courageous each day. I think I would prefer
a home without other animals or young children at least until I feel
comfortable with the lay of the land. If you are interested in meeting
me, please contact Heather at (804) 897-5680. |
Moo (Declawed) Now Why Would I Be Named Mr. Moo? I Know It Will Be Obvious To You. |
I was brought to my vet by my people on Saturday, April 17th. They
wanted the vet to put me down because I was "grumpy" and was not getting
along with their young child. Turns out, I was only grumpy because
I was completely infested with fleas! The good doctors at Sycamore
Animal Hospital refused to honor the request of the people I belonged
to and told them they would take me into their custody, clean me up,
and assist in finding me a new home. I am a veteran guy, approximately
10 years old, and a good sized fellow at 16 pounds! However, don't
let my size intimidate you, because I am a true sweetheart. I love
to be petted and giving head butts. I am fine with being picked up
and particularly enjoy being kissed on top of my head. If you are
interested in meeting me, please contact Sycamore Animal Hospital
in Midlothian at (804) 794-3778. |
Mimi A 3 year old beautiful girl who likes to play, roll on her back & rub a leg |
I used to live with a lady who took good care of me. She kept me inside at night and let me out during the day. She had me spayed and made sure I got my shots. (My veterinary records are available.) But my mistress got sick and had to go to the hospital, and then she had to go to a nursing home. Now she needs to stay in an assisted living home. Cats are not allowed there. So I am currently confined to a crate in an unheated garage attached to the house of my former mistress’ brother. I can’t go in the house because the family has allergies. I can survive there for a while because it doesn’t get below freezing cold and I have a “Snuggle Safe” warmer, but it’s cold , isolated, and NO FUN!!! I get to go out on a harness and lead twice a day, but I can’t go in the house and I can’t go in the yard! PLEASE ADOPT ME!! I’d love to get a real home and family for Christmas. To learn more about me, please call Rick at (804) 837-1746. |
Bubby (Declawed) Now Did You Say Bubby, or Bubbly? |
I am a very handsome declawed Persian boy, born in March of 2002, who is in need of a new and I hope quiet home. While I am very loving and friendly, I tend to be shy when there are a lot of people around. I am very playful and very much enjoy running after toys and playing with yarn or string. I am not wild about being held for long periods or being brushed, but I very much like having my belly rubbed. And of course eating is one of my favorite pasttimes. I am totally current on all of my vaccinations. I have lately been an outside cat and my family is moving to a place where that is not possible. Perhaps in your single cat, peaceful home I can live inside where it is safe and secure, particularly since I have no front claws to defend myself with. To learn more about me, please call Jeff and Katie Kraft at (804) 798-3301 (H) or (804) 627-3562. |

I
am a gray Maltese, approximately 9-10 years old. I have tested positive
for FIV, so I cannot live with other cats unless they are also FIV+.
FIV+ and non FIV+ cats can live together if they are peaceful with one
another and there is no fighting. I do not require any additional medical
or special care- just a caring and loving family looking for a lovable
lap cat in need of a new home. I am declawed in the front, spayed, and
litter box-trained. For more information
about me please call Troy at (804) 938-5689. |

My name is "Jag" and I am a very friendly 8 year old indoor only cat
that lived most of my life with my sister Callie. Unfortunately, our
loving owners decided to make the difficult yet responsible decision
to put me up for adoption. They loved and cared for me very much,
but could not financially care for me anymore. Even though my sister
and I would love to be adopted together we understand that sometimes
that is not possible. I only hope to one day be adopted and make a
family very happy. I am up-to-date on all my vaccinations, neutered,
indoor only is where I like to play, and recently had complete blood
work done that was all normal. I love to have my ears scratched, am
very active, and definitely an attention hog. I will do whatever I
can to get someone to pet me. |
Frankie You Can Just Call Her "Young Blue Eyes" (Adopted!) |
"Hi, my name is Frankie and I am 2 years old with beautiful medium
length fur and gorgeous blue eyes. I have been spayed, have tested
negative for leukemia and FIV, and am up to date on all vaccines thanks
to CARE. Here is my sad story. |
Angel 
Sissy Sweethearts Ready To Ensnare Your Heart (Adopted!) |
We are two wonderful kitties who were abandoned by our people approximately one year ago. We have been living at our veterinarian's office ever since, although our foster mom brought us to her home on Dec. 15 because she couldn't bear for us to spend one more day in a cage! I, Angel, am a six year old long haired orange and white girl with the most beautiful face you've ever seen. Sissy is a ten year old short haired all black girl, although she does have a couple white hairs on her chest. We are both in excellent health, have been spayed, and are up to date on all our shots. Sissy has been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and takes a quarter of a Pepcid every other day. It really is totally manageable- the pills are very small and you can even buy generic Pepcid for virtually nothing. Personally, I feel this could be due to her stress level and it could well calm down once she is in a permanent home. Being caged for much of the time for a whole year is stressful, believe me! We are both very friendly and purr the minute we see you! I even chirp when I purr. We get along with dogs and would probably be fine with other cats. We haven't been with our foster mom's cats, but we see them through the window and it doesn't bother us at all. We really have fun personalities. We must be adopted together. Our adoption fee is $150, which will go to the veterinary clinic that has safe housed us for so long. What a small investment to return so much love! Mom says that she will consider adoptions within a three hour driving radius of Richmond! To learn more about us, please contact Whitney at whitneyfogg@comcast.net or 804-513-9881. |
Izzy *Survived Rough Times & Ready For The Good Life In Your Family* (Adopted!) |
I am a 4 year old who was rescued by a very nice lady after Hurricane Isabelle. I was so thin and weak then, but am very robust now. I am not officially a CARE cat, but they are trying to help me find a home. I like to rub against legs, be petted, and can be picked up now. I am a nice cat, but my rescuer had a cat of her own already who can not tolerate a newcomer. So I can not go inside, where I really want to be. Please contact Mary Short @(804)790-1167 for more information about me. |

I
am Felv+ but am the sweetest, funniest cat ever. I have lots of personality,
am healthy and am very playful. I love to have my belly rubbed and talk
or trill all of the time. I am a major lap cat
also. My foster mom says that I crack her up. I am a pastel tortie around
2 years old. I can't believe someone just dumped me! I am quite the
character! Please
call Marie at (804) 264-7235 for
more information and to meet me. |
Tom A Tom Cat In Name Only (Adopted!) |
I am 26 pounds of pure love who is fine with other cats. My human died and no one wanted me. I was turned into a rural pound from which almost no adoptions occur. A dog rescue group saved my life and they have asked CARE to help find me a forever home. You know those black bears that have been sighted recently in our area? Well, I look almost like one except that I am totally domesticated and much more huggable. Every ounce of my 26 pounds is sweet and gentle. Please call CARE @ (804) 288-9797 with your information and they will pass it on to my rescuer. |
Quicksilver Fleet Of Foot And Mercurial Of Mood- What Better Name For A Handsome Young Guy? (Adopted!) |
I am young and vibrant, at the grand old age of one year. I have had tests showing that I am leukemia and FIV negative, and have had a rabies shot recently. I have been neutered, and hold a degree in sociology. OK, maybe not the sociology degree, but the rest is true- we have papers. I am solid white with blue eyes, have a long and lean frame, and am seriously looking for a good home where I am the only cat. I tolerate some dogs, but with other cats I can be aggressive. I am extremely playful but my play can be a bit on the rough side, so children could be considered a snack. I am loving and like lap time, am very, very funny to have around, and am an intrepid explorer of everything I can open. (Another talent!) I would be a terrific companion with the right person. My foster dad says that he has had the pleasure of the company of a feline with similar attributes, and he knows for a fact that some love and some time in an only cat atmosphere is far more worthwhile than words can say. Unfortunately, I just cannot integrate into a household with another cat. For more information about me, please call Mike @(804)217-7187. |

I
am a beautiful girl tabby cat. I am a good, sweet kitty who must find
another home as my guardian for all of my 10 years is engaged to a man
who is allergic to felines, including me! Although I was born in a barn,
I am accustomed to the indoor life. Lounging in sunny spots, bird watching,
bug catching, and trying to finally catch the light from the moving
flashlight are just some of my favorite pastimes. I won’t hesitate to
cuddle up to you for a good scratch behind the ears as I love attention.
I have lived with dogs but don't necessarily want to play with the little
beasts- dogs can be a little gnarly don't you know. I am a mellow cat
who would greatly enjoy an older family and a quiet home. Do you think
that you would have room in your heart for me? For more information,
please email Julia @juliab@roslyncenter.org or call her at 804-928-5607.

Jack (Kitten) Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick And By Your Side He'll Stick (Adopted!) |
I am a little guy, approximately 7-8 weeks old as of 5-31, who had very nasty respiratory and eye infections when my human mom saved me. I am entirely well now and have tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia. I have impeccable litter box manners. A typical part of my day is to run, jump and play, play some more, and then play some more. Then, when I have worn myself out, I am ready to be held and snuggled, accompanied by some serious purring. I am going to be a handsome man when I grow up and plan on loving my family with all my gentle heart. For more information about me, please call Denise @(804)852-4662 |
 Pearl A Pearl Of Incalculable Value (Adopted!) |
I am a SOLID WHITE LONGHAIRED 8 year old girl who desperately needs a home! My family is moving about 30 miles and have turned me into a kill shelter with the excuse, "we are moving." I so badly wanted to go with them! The kennel mistress at the pound says that I am one of the sweetest cats she has EVER had in her place. She is begging someone to adopt me. I am medically totally up to date and ready to leave this hard steel cage. If interested, call Janet with CARE @(804) 266-5516- PLEASE!. CARE can arrange to deliver me to my new family. By the way, I am a totally inside cat, having never put my feet outdoors. |

I
am a 15 year old calico MISERABLE cat. Please forgive this photo of
me, but it pretty much reflects how unhappy I am with my life now. I
am not officially a CARE cat and am at a rural Virginia pound. CARE
is hoping that some kind person will call or email to adopt me and then
just let me live out what is left of my life with someone who cares
about me. I used to live with another cat so will probably be fine with
other cats. I am traumatized by being at this pound and sometimes out
of fear I hiss and snarl, but the ladies who work here love on me and
say that I am temperamental, but nice. I am not a bad cat, but you can
imagine how frightened you would be if you lost your home and family
at this advanced stage of your life. I don't know what is to become
of me and am just very SCARED. Call CARE @ (804) 288- 9797 to learn
what you can do to bring me to safety.
Knowing that you helped this forlorn soul will fill you with good feelings. |

I am NOT a CARE cat, but have had all my medicals as do the CARE cats. I came from a guardian who was required by law to give up some of her pets. She was only allowed to keep three so she kept the 3 oldest dogs. All of her pets were special needs or old. I am cute, healthy, extremely active and playful, and want 100% of your attention. I am a super-soft chocolate brown tortie with beautiful green eyes. I am approximately 12 years young and love to play with my "Daddy Long Legs" toy, carrying it around in my mouth like a dog. I'm very talkative and make little "peep" noises like a baby bird..... So, please adopt Tess. Call CARE @ (804) 288- 9797 and ask about Amanda's foster Tess. |

I am a 2 year old girl who showed up on the doorstep, ran in the open door, and haven't looked back. I had a problem with my eye that a $260 vet bill and lots of eye drops and attention fixed. I now have a clean bill of health. I'm a bright-eyed, talkative, spayed calico kitty who is playful at times - yet also serene, and who would make someone a great pet. I get along well with other kitties (my rescuer has two rescued strays in a tiny apartment - otherwise she would keep me). I am petite with a beautiful medium coat of which I take immaculate care. Warning- I am a Purr Monster! For information about me, contact Julie at (804) 674-2141. |
