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.

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.

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!

Stop by Petco Swift Creek and Petco Parham tomorrow Saturday from 12-2 and meet some of our sweethearts that are really wanting to find families by Christmas! We have cats and kittens in every color, shape, size, and personality! Here are just a small portion of them! All are super sweet, fully vetted, and can’t wait to meet you!

Edit: adopted together!
We just wanted to thank everyone again for allowing sweet little Franklin to see the cardiologist this week! He was such a little trooper at the appointment and did great! He got his echocardiogram and we got some FANTASTIC news about his murmur! He has mild valvular pulmonic stenosis … that may sound scary but it just means he was born with a narrowed heart valve and is completely fine! His doctor assured us Franklin’s heart is in great health and he does not need any treatment or medications! He can be adopted out like any other normal kitten and is expected to have a long, happy, and healthy life! Here he is with his sister Olivia! We’re sure they are both happy he’s allowed to run and play as much as he wants 🙂 Both of these sweethearts are now available for adoption and will be at our Petco adoption stand this weekend! Interested in adopting them? Submit a no obligation application at our website www.RichardsonsRescue.org

Thank you again for helping us help ensure Franklin (and Olivia) are in tip top health!

Did you know today is , a day where people around the work open their hearts and give to local non profits in an effort to help them further their mission. If you know Richardsons you already know our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome, repeat and we never stop this mission! Just last night we pulled in 4 more cats and kittens who needed help and who otherwise would have been waking up outside in the 18 degree temperatures this morning. Instead they woke up warm and loved and today they’re getting fixed, vetted, and all the things! For just these 4 it’s going to cost us about 250 dollars to vet each one and that doesn’t even include the 65 other cats in our system right now some of whom are sick and need additional vetting. Kitten season isn’t ending for us and we are constantly working our hardest to help as many as we can! So today is the day we are asking you to help us help them! We know times our tough but every little bit helps! Give what you can, we couldn’t do what we do without the help of our incredible supporters like you! Feel free to donate to this post directly or our PayPal at RichardsonsRescuerva.org! Can’t give? Help by sharing our post so other can see it!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Edited to add: wow yall are absolutely incredible! You did that in under an hour and to think we didn’t know how we’d make it work initially! It’s always scary to be told a kitten needs something so expensive. But yall are awesome!!! Anything additional or extra donated will go towards the treatment plan for Franklin once we get a diagnosis. We will keep everyone updated with how the appointment goes and what he needs but seriously thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We need your help! Typically this time of year we ask for your donations for giving Tuesday because by this time of year kitten season has depleted us pretty badly. But this year kitten season hasn’t at all ended. In fact, it’s been one of the toughest years yet but we are still actively helping as many cats and kittens as we can!

One of our more recent rescues is sweet little Franklin. Abandoned outside at just weeks old, he was so appreciative when we brought him into our rescue. He is the absolute sweetest little boy who loves everyone he meets. There’s just one problem… he has a bad heart murmur that needs to get checked out by a kitty cardiologist. To do this we need to raise about a thousand dollars to be able to afford the initial appointment. If we can’t get him to the cardiologist it could be dangerous for Franklin as it’s a pretty serious murmur, a grade 5 out of 6 with 6 being the worst. We really want to be able to find out what’s causing the murmur and help this sweetheart!

Can you help us help him? You can donate here on this Facebook post or on PayPal at Richardsonsrescuerva.org whichever is easiest! As always thank you for your generosity! Your help in this is life saving and means the world to us and this kitty! Cant give at this time? Share his post so people who can donate will see it!

As we gather to reflect on all we’re grateful for, we want to extend the biggest purrs of gratitude to our incredible volunteers. 🐱❤️ Your endless dedication, warm hearts, and countless hours spent caring for our whiskered friends make all the difference.

Whether it’s comforting a scared kitty, cleaning a cozy shelter space, fostering little furballs, or helping at events, you’re not just volunteers—you’re heroes to every cat who has found love, safety, and a forever home because of you.

Thank you for being the heart and soul of our mission. We couldn’t do it without your compassion and hard work!

A huge thank-you to Mighty Moves Moving Company for going the extra mile—literally! When our cat rescue received a generous donation of kitty litter from Tidy Cat, we needed some muscle to help us transport and unload three entire pallets of supplies. Mighty Moves stepped in and handled it all with care and efficiency, ensuring our furry friends have what they need.
They're not just movers; they're community champions! 🐱💪

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
