FREE microchipping clinic for Fairfax County residents!

“If your pet needs a microchip and you‘re a Fairfax County resident, join us at our July Vaccine and Microchip Clinics where we are offering FREE microchips in honor of National Lost Pet Prevention Month! Clinics are scheduled for Friday, July 12th (tomorrow), at the Lorton Campus and Monday, July 22nd, at the Michael R. Frey Campus in Fairfax. Learn more at fairfaxcounty.gov/animalshelter/petresources/rabiesclinics.”

Mack is back home resting following an adventure that almost sounds too unreal to be true!

After he escaped his backyard and somehow ended up in the sewer system, he traveled two miles before peeking out of a curb inlet near a police station. An officer noticed his bright blue eyes and, with some help, lifted a manhole cover to rescue him.

His family was frantically searching for him and was relieved to learn that he was safe at our shelter. They were also thrilled when we offered to microchip him at no cost to help him find his way back home faster in the future (though Mack assured us he will be on his best behavior).

⭐️Happy Reunion story!⭐️ Remember Storm, an older cat that 4Paws rescued as a stray? It seems that Storm escaped from her home about a year ago and the owners searched for her for months! They eventually gave up, assuming that someone had taken her in.

But then a few days ago, a family member was running some errands and stopped in Petco for some supplies. They don't live in Burke - she just happened to be passing through. She decided to say hello to the kitties and that's when it happened, she recognized Storm and now Storm has been reunited with her family! 🩵 We are so happy for Storm and her family 🩵

🖤 Happy Friday from Kane at the Sterling Petco!

Looking for the perfect lap kitty? Kane is your cat! Kane was rescued from the parking lot of an apartment complex in Oxon Hill. Being a gentle, probably abandoned kitty, he was getting beat up by the other cats. Thankfully, he was trapped and taken into foster, where he has shown himself to be sweet, gentle, very affectionate, and very vocal about getting human attention. As soon as his person sits down, he is right there looking for pets and climbing into their lap. Kane loves being petted, kissed, picked up, held, anything that involves his person paying attention to him. Kane is also very friendly with other cats and wants to play with any kitty he meets. Given his gentle nature, he should be ok with children 5 years and up.

The vet estimated he is 4 years old. Kane loves wet food and uses the litterbox like a champ! He has been neutered, tested negative for FeLV and FiV, is current on vaccines, and has been microchipped. Apply for Kane online at https://fourpaws.org

Storm is a senior girl who is looking for her retirement home. This sweet cat wants nothing more than to cuddle with her humans.

🧡Beacon is still waiting on his furever home🧡 Beacon is really just a big goofball and a little awkward when he plays. He has a tendency to fall off furniture and run into walls because he's so focused on his toys! His favorite toy is a feather wand and jumps up and down if you flap it for him. He snuggles close on the bed at night and is a master at making biscuits. He does not want to be picked up and will let you know you have displeased him. He uses his litterbox well but he insists that it be kept tidy at all times. He could be adopted with his sister, Briar Rose (who tolerates him best), or with another cat to keep him company. He may be ok as a single cat as well if he's given plenty of attention. He would prefer no small children or dogs, and humans who understand how cats can be. Beacon's estimated birthdate is 5/2/2022. He has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and tested negative for FIV and FeLv. Apply on our website at https://fourpaws.org

👋 Hello from Serena! She is a sweet young girl, who was trapped in a very busy area of Fairfax with her kittens. Serena now completely trusts her foster mom and LOVES being a housecat. She snuggles on the bed at night and will get on the back of the couch to curl up next to her foster mom's neck for movie time. She purrs softly, gives headbutts, and arches up for kisses on her head. She has a variety of toys she likes to play with by herself, batting them around the house. She loves to be pet, but does NOT like to be picked up. Serena lives with other cats but she would need understanding, easy-going cats in her new home, or she could be an only cat. Serena was born approximately August 2019. She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Apply on our website at https://fourpaws.org
