Richardsons Rescue

Richardsons Rescue 501(c)3 cat rescue organization dedicated to rehoming cats through our in-home foster care program. It takes a village . . . Thank you for doing your part.

We're an active TNR group involved in community outreach, too. We are not a drop off shelter, any intake requests must be made through our website. Our volunteers reach out to members of the community in need of help with stray and/or feral cat overpopulation due to abandonment and neglect. We participate in Trap, Neuter, Return and pull as many cats or kittens we can with a good demeanor to rehom

e. It takes a village because without the help of the veterinarians and clinics, donations from the public, dedicated foster volunteers, and a caring community willing to adopt, we wouldn't be able to save so many lives.

Edited to add: WOW thank you everyone for the outpouring of support! Y'all are incredible!! It takes a village and as always we are sooooo thankful for our incredible village!!

🚨Alert! Alert! We need your help! 🚨

Kitten season has started with a bang and we have several kittens, nursing moms, and even some injured adults who desperately needed to be rescued! As you can imagine this has hit our food shelves hard. Our biggest needs right now are adult food both wet and dry. We also are in need of kitten wet food as well. Here's the thing, growing kittens can out eat anyone and we go through more kitten pate than you can imagine. But injured, emaciated adults need food too and they tend to stay with us even longer, thus going through even more food than kittens.

Pease if you can find it in your budget to send some food our way we would be incredibly grateful and would be able to keep helping those in need kitties!

* We do have enough dry kitten food at this time thanks to your donations last time but we are desperate for adult food and wet food for both kittens and adults! Here are just a few your donations will go to help! All are safe and receiving care but need food!

You can send food directly to our fostersbat www.bit.ly/helpRR
Can't send any at this time? No worries, share our post to help others see our need!

Thank you soooo much!! It takes a village but we know with your help we can keep saving lives!

Meet Blarney! (Fia's baby daddy)

Blarney is ready to find his forever home. He was recently neutered and has had all his vaccines. This bright-eyed boy is estimated to be 1-2 years old.

Blarney is a "player!" His balance of energy and chill makes him the perfect catch! His favorite toys are balls (ping pong, marbles, jingle balls) of any sort! Blarney loves anything that feels like a cave, so he can watch his world feeling secure and safe. He is very vocal during play time, but wishes to spend his nights snuggled up at your feet, but watch out 👀, he also loves to play "what's under the covers!" During the day he enjoys soaking up the sun in an open screened window.

Blarney would be great with children, cats and dogs with proper slow introductions!

Princess Fia is ready to find her forever home. She was recently spayed and has had all her vaccines. This delicate, petite girl is estimated to be 1-2 years old.

👀 Watch out, her affection is contagious! 💞

Fia is "adorably purrfect!" Her graceful, gentle personality is endearing. Constantly making air biscuits, purring, and rolling around while getting pets is her favorite pasttime. Her favorite toys are wands and balls of any sort! She is talkative, super loyal and wishes to spend her nights snuggled right up beside you.

Fia would be great with children, and dogs (with a slow introduction). We are not sure exactly how shed do with other kitties, she has a kitty roomy but does not wish to play with him.

For 636 days, this beautiful girl has been waiting for her forever home. Lucky Charms came into our rescue as a devoted mom with two teenage kittens and a litter of five newborns. She did an incredible job raising them, and they’ve all been adopted—but she’s still waiting.

Despite being overlooked time and time again, Lucky Charms remains a loving presence at our HQ. She welcomes new kitties with open paws, watches as they find their families, and continues to wait for her own. She’s a talkative girl who adores affection and will even demand a kiss now and then.

Her biggest challenge? She needs time to trust. She’s not the kind of cat who warms up instantly, but once she knows she’s safe, her true personality shines. Can you blame her for being cautious?

We believe she’d do best in a home without dogs or very young children, though she’s formed a special bond with one of our 7-year-old volunteers.

Could you be the one to finally give this amazing girl the love and patience she deserves?

Update: adopted!

Seriously how is this perfect gentleman, Connor, still searching for his family?! He is the absolute best!!! He is super loving, the perfect blend of chill, calm, and playful. He is vocal and chirps at you for pets.... He's great with other cats and has done fine around calm dogs. ... His only flaw is that at first he can be timid... But that's most cats right? He wouldn't do well with loud or young kids... But any adults (even older calmer teens) that could give him time to open up would see just how perfect this boy is! He was born last June so he's around 8.5ish months old. A few weeks ago he had a pet sitter and came out of his shell in just a few days for them. Come on you know you want your own house panther who wears bowties!! He is fully vetted and has so much love to give!

Update: adopted!

We need your help!!!! Connor has been waiting way too long for his forever family! Can you share his post to help his family find him! We know they're out there they just haven't seen him yet!

Connor is an A+ Certified Good Boy. He is 8 months old and has the softest fur. He loves to snuggle on your lap and will greet you with a happy chirp! Connor started his life on the streets and, because of this, he can be fearful at first, but once he decides you are a safe person, he is just the absolute sweetest little man.

He is making great progress in foster care, but Connor will need a patient person to go slow while they earn his trust. Connor would do best in a quiet home without young children. He needs people who will give him lots of love but who will also respect his boundaries.

Connor adores playtime (favorite toys are wand toys and his rattle octopus). He is a bit derpy and clumsy but is already a VERY chill dude for his age. When he grows up he is going to be the absolute best cuddle-puddle no-bones lap cat ever.

These three adorable 9-month-old kittens (Guinevere - F grey and white, Benjamin M orange tabby, and Button M grey tabby) are searching for their forever home. They came from a difficult situation where someone chose to care for 20 cats without proper vetting. While they always had plenty of food and water, they didn’t receive enough individual attention. Despite their challenging start, these kittens are incredibly sweet, loving and healthy. They may need a little time to feel comfortable in a new environment, but once they trust you, their true, affectionate personalities shine through.

Update Lexie has been adopted! Lily is still waiting for her forever home.

Meet Lexie and Lily! These girls are super super sweet! At 6 months old they were rescued from an outdoor situation because they were too affectionate to live outside and not in a home. Lexie (orange) is a little shy meeting new people but after a few days she comes around quickly. Lily (tortie) is very vocal and expressive. Both girls are playful, snuggly, and do great with other cats! They are fully vetted, and could go together or separately. Share their pics to help us start their 2025 off great in their new forever family/families! Interested? Fill out a no obligation application at www.RichardsonsRescue.org

We could use your help in finding a home for sweet little Goose!
Goose had a rough start to life. He was born outside at a landscaping company... And when he was just 3 months old the manger at that company threatened to kill Goose and his whole family. Well we quickly worked to rescue the family and get them into our rescue. Thankfully we were able to get everyone safe, happy, and healthy! Goose's mom and brother quickly found wonderful homes! But not sweet Goose. He's shy at first and takes a few days to trust and warm up to new people. Once he trusts you he is the sweetest little boy there is! He loves to play and chase wand toys. He is very talkative and affectionate, and he loves to snuggle! He gets along great with other cats and would be the perfect pet.... He just needs someone patient to give him time to open up!.Now he is a 6 months old and still hasn't found a home yet! Can you help sweet Goose find his family? We just know they're out there! They just haven't found Goose yet! Goose is fully vetted, neutered, combo tested, dewormed, deflead, and microchipped! He would do best with another kitty friend in the home to play with and he's available through RichardsonsRescue.org

Can't adopt? That's ok share this post to help Goose find his family!

Update: adopted! Thanks everyone
Dear Santa, We have just one wish for Christmas! Help Finn find a forever home!

Every so often we get an absolutely perfect kitten who for no good reason just gets passed up over and over again. That’s Finn and we can’t understand why he hasn’t found a family of his own yet.

He’s Mr Cool, Calm, and Confident! Perfect in every way! Finn came to Richardson's Rescue a while back with his 2 orange brothers where they lived in a garage, so his foster mom named them after the Cars movie, Finn Hudson and Mater. His 2 other brothers were adopted quickly but not Finn. He doesn't understand why he hasn't been adopted yet and frankly, we don’t either!

Sweet Finn sure does like to go as fast as his Cars namesake! He loves to play with all toys, including his dog brothers' toys. He has big orange cat energy and he will follow you around to each room crying for attention. He gets along great with dog brothers and would benefit from another cat friend to play with too. Finn absolutely loves food , even insisting on sharing a plate of eggs ham or bacon with his foster mom. Finn is a super smart kitty 4 month old kitten who even likes to use his smart orange kitty mind to work to get treats out of his pet puzzles! Seriously this kitten is perfect!! He just needs a family!

Please help us share his story so we can find him the great home he deserves!

Remember a while back when our awesome supporters answered our plea for kitten food? Well, the kittens we rescued then are loving the food! Check out this video of our Halloween litter running to their dinner! They have now grown big and strong thanks to your generous donations and are all ready to find their forever homes. These kittens are truly perfect! Casper, Pugsley, Morticia, Wednesday, Pumkin and Spookly love to love and love everyone they meet! Great with cats, kids, and dogs, they would be the perfect addition to any home. They are a wonderful mix between cuddly, loving and playful. One thing to note that you can probably tell from the video is these purr machines are very high energy. They love to play and for this reason, we recommend they all have a kitty friend to play with in their forever homes. Can it be with you? These love muffins are sure to put a smile on your face and love in your heart!

A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to our Richardsons supporters for your food and supply donations! Foster mom said it best, complete with this adorable video! “This little baby would like to say thanks to each of you for your kind and generous donations! This is one of so many you will all help feed. He loves the formula! Watch him lick those lips!😽” Stay tuned for a follow up post this week on the rescue story of this little one and their siblings! They are one of multiple litters being cared for by our incredible fosters!

Hey there, Harry Potter Heads 👋🏼 You may know Neville Longbottom from Gryffindor in the books and movies, but according to TT, OUR Neville is a Slytherin 😉 We wholeheartedly disagree. He is so sweet, more like a Hufflepuff, definitely has alllll the looks, his pink nose and toe beans are mesmerizing, and his dopey nature (the head tilt ... you’d just have to see it) is so in-line with that of most ginger tabbies. Neville is great with kids, loves to chase toys AND cuddle, is incredibly vocal with his chirps and trills, and plays well with other kittens and older kitties who are willing 🙃 Looking for a new friend who can fit in with lots of friends and family? Neville is 100% the perfect fit. xo 🖤 Casey www.RichardsonsRescueRVA.org 🔮 🧙‍♀️ 🔮 🐈 🔮 🧙‍♀️ 🔮 🐈 🔮 #HarryPotter #RVA #adoptdontshop #NevilleLongbottom #Neville #Slytherin #Gryffindor #Hufflepuff #Ravenclaw
