“In a cat’s eye, all things belong to cats.”

Our sweet boy Dyson is still on the hunt for the purrfect home. If there is one thing I love about Dyson, it's the cutest little goatee spot on the under side of his chin. While Dyson and Suni came from different litters, these two have bonded so closely that we think they would do best being adopted together. Dyson is such a lover - if friend shaped, then friend is the perfect way to describe his personality. He's playful, energetic, confident and super social. Don't let him fool you at adoption events. He's a bundle of energy when he's home.

Meet our love-bug tuxedo, Dyson. He was born on March 26.

Dyson loves everyone and everything in their orbit. Given his name, that does include dinner time, though with 7 siblings, one must race to get to dinner.

Dyson is very playful, energetic, confident, super social, and love love love your lap when their zoom zoom zoomies are over.

He knows no strangers, including adult cats, toddlers, and even the small dog in his foster home. To be fair, he probably hasn't noticed she is not another cat.

He is very social and confident enough to adjust to any new home. He would thrive in a home with other friendly cats and/or where he can get lots of love and attention. He would love to go to a furever home with his foster sister, Suni! These two have recently shown signs of having become bonded.

If you think Dyson would be a purrfect fit into your heart and home, please contact Laura at 540-272-3506

“Cats never strike a pose that isn’t photogenic.” Lilian Jackson Braun

Are you looking for a garden buddy? Oscar is the one exception we have to our indoor only cats, mostly because Oscar wouldn't listen even if he were told to remain inside. He likes spending time in a catio as well as joining his foster mom in the garden. He does have some serious cat-itude, so we're looking for an experienced cat parent to join him on his pursuit of the purrfect home. Oscar is estimated to be 9-11 years old now so he does technically qualify has a senior cat.

Oscar is a smart, friendly and sassy guy. Up until a couple of years ago he was living outside on his own and is now enjoying the comforts of also going indoors and having fosters and cat friends who love him. Oscar's exact age is unknown, but estimated to be 8-10 years old. He currently shares a space with two other cats (male and female) and gets along well with both and loves to play and snuggle with Rudy (also available to adopt!). He LOVES to play with toys and also garden with his foster Mom and hang out with her while she's working on art.

Oscar's ideal home would be one with cat savvy adopters that are used to "cat-itude". He is very friendly and loves to be around his people and to be pet but he can get sassy and a bit feisty on occasion when he's not getting his way. Having been a cat that was outside for multiple years, Oscar does enjoy the ability to go outside for short periods of time. He would be very happy having the ability to go and lounge in a very safe and secure cat-proof yard or a catio. Oscar does well with other cats with proper slow introductions, but cannot be in a home with dogs or young children (the cattitude!). He is now litterbox trained since coming into care, but can be particular about placements of litterboxes and also sharing. With multiple litterbox options he is good to go.

If you think he would be a great fit for your heart and home, please reach out to Laura at 540-272-3506.

“The problem with cats is that they get the same exact look whether they see a moth or an axe-murderer.” Paula Poundstone

Say hello to Mushroom! Mushroom and Peach are a bonded pair and are looking for their furever home together. Mushroom is definitely the more reserved of the two and takes her cues from Peach. If she sees Peach playing with a toy, she wants to play with it. If she sees Peach getting a treat, she trusts that treat/treat provider. When she finds her comfort zone, she lets her fun side show. She loves cuddling, especially once you're her chosen person. Like Peach, she loves curling up with you, or Peach, on those chilly nights. When she wants her cuddles, she will get her cuddles. It doesn't matter if you're playing a game, reading a book, or taking a nap. She also is quite the cat tree expert. Mostly because she loves them.

This sweet Torbie's name is Mushroom. She was born February 1st, 2025. Her unique coloring comes from her Tabby and Tortoiseshell combination. So be ready for some fun conversations with this one!

Mushroom is very shy and needs some time to really come out of her shell. While Peach definitely helps with that and gives her comfort when she's feeling overwhelmed, she needs someone who is going to be patient enough to give her time to come into herself and learn about her new home.

This sweet girl loves cat trees though! There is nothing better, to her, than hanging out at the top of the tree. Unless there happens to be food involved. She is not afraid to let you know if you've missed dinner time. She loves her wet food. Like Peach, this sweet lady loves to cuddle, especially once she's chosen you as her person. Whether it's while you're gaming on the couch or computer, watching a movie or just going to bed, Mushroom is ready for all the comfort.

Mushroom and Peach are a bonded pair and need to find a home that would be willing to love them together. These two routinely bathe each other, can be caught cuddling together and even share their food bowls. Sharing is caring, after all.

If you think Mushroom and Peach would be a great fit for your heart and home, please reach out to Laura at 540-272-3506.

“Cats have it all: admiration, an endless sleep, and company only when they want it.” Rod McKuen

Say hello to Princess Peach! She comes with her own Mushroom! Peach and Mushroom are a bonded pair and are looking for a furever home together. Peach is a sweet, adorable Calico lady. She is definitely the braver of the two and tends to lead the charge, though it does take a little while to feel comfortable enough to do so. Once you've won her heart, you better be prepared for the cuddles. She especially loves curling up in bed with you on those chiller nights.

Say Hello is Peach! This adorable Calico lady was born the beginning of February and just has a way of melting your heart.

Peach has definitely grown in her bravery, though it does take her a little while to feel comfortable to do so. She's such a sweetheart through and wants nothing more than to be loved on. Snuggles, especially once she's chosen you as her person, are a given. Whether you're lying on the couch watching tv, taking a nap, gaming or going to bed for the night, this pretty girl is ready for action!

She is quite food motivated and will happily yell at you if you're even a minute late for dinner. She knows when it's time for some wets and won't let you forget it.

Peach and Mushroom are a bonded pair and need to find a home that would be willing to love them together. These two routinely bath each other, can be caught cuddling together and even share their food bowls. Sharing is caring, after all.

"Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want." - Joseph Wood Krutch

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm weird, but every time I see Chloe my brain just goes, "Hairrrryyyy Baby!" Thanks, Baymax. Chloe is roughly 6 years young. She has the most gorgeous eyes ever! You can win over her love with time and patience, though she's not necessarily every going to be a cat that likes to be picked up. Still, she's great company on those rainy nights made for binge-watching tv or curling up in bed with a good book!

Chloe is a 6-year-old orange tabby with bullseye markings and medium-length hair.

Chloe is slow to adjust to change, but once she does, she is very initiative, intelligent, vocal and opinionated. She responds well to her name when she chooses and can exchange cat sounds as dialogue with you.

She's not fond of being picked up, but will wrap herself around your feet and legs to get attention. She loves to be rubbed and patted on the head and scratched under her chin. Chloe loves to chase the laser and the feather on a way and is very protective of her toys by lying on them. She's mostly chill and laid back and will lie on your bed and watch TV with you.

She is 100% an indoor cat and a great companion.

If you think Chloe would be a good fit for your heart and home, please contact Laura at 540-272-3506.

"The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself."

Cleo, or as we call her Madame Cleo, is still looking into the future for her furever home. This sweet girl is definitely looking for a particular house. She is the ultimate girls-girl and loves nothing more than to spoil her foster mom with kisses and rubs and allows for some head kisses. She accepts pets and will lay near her foster dad, but doesn't have as much interest in him. She takes a little while to warm up to people and would need a home that would be able to accommodate that. She does great with kids around the age of 10 and with other cats, so long as they're friendly ones. Her ultimate dream house would be a place that's a little on the quieter side where she can cuddle her person and live the ultimate lazy girl life.

Sneak peek a cute video of Madame Cleo in the comments!

This adorable sweetheart is Cleo, a 3-year-old gray and white Tuxedo. We have nicknamed her Madame Cleo.

While she is still a shy girl, she's learning all about trust and that she's safe. She was abandoned by her person, but she's showing off her personality in slow strides.

Her favorite things are enjoying treats and wet foods as well as having behind her ears scratched. She's quite a little talker with a cute chitter that lets you know she's involved. When she purrs, it is like a freight train and she's quick to share kisses in her happiness.

Fastest way to get her to purr outside of scritches behind her ear is to tell her what a beautiful girl she is. Those engines just start right up!

She may look like she's scowling at you, but this is due to her Eyelid Agenesis. It is likely a congenital issue that was repaired by surgery. It just leaves her looking like she's ready to wear a monocle.

Clea is still learning and has an almost quiet curiosity. She's begun trying to learn to play, especially with a wand toy. She will never pass up on a chance to bird watch from the nearest window, though she does tend to prefer doing it on cloudy days. Most recently, she's begun to enjoy lying beside you in bed, but she prefers to be by your knees and ignored unless she initiates affection.

Cleo would do best in a quieter, low energy household. She still finds new and loud noises scary and tends to run to the nearest hide until she determines it is safe. If you think Cleo would be a good fit for your heart and home, please contact Laura at 540-272-350.

Serotonin Sunday!
Brought to you by Enzo!

Per his new mom:
My beautiful big boy is doing great. I bought the Weruva kitten wet food and he loves it. He has been getting a can split twice a day and kibble on demand. His litter box habits are perfect and he sleeps with me every night. Although it is not unusual for me to wake up because he is laying on my head or face! 😊😊

Intro to Sadie going slowly but I don't want to rush them because I want them to get along. We will work it out.

Love him to death. Will keep you all posted. ❤️❤️❤️

Congrats! We can't wait to hear more about how he's doing and see the friendship between him and Sadie blossom!

“Each cat is a singular being — a pulsing centre of the universe — with this colour eyes, this length and density of fur, this palate of preferences, habits and dispositions. Each with his own idiosyncrasies.”

Dahlia is putting her best paw forward for her photo update! Just like Freya and Cami, she's about 7 months old now and wanted to show off that gorgeous gray coat and yellow eyes. Dahlia is definitely a playful little creature, though she never turns down cuddles. She is very much the lover of luxury and the finer, easier things in life - so long as that includes treats, cuddles and playtime.

Dahlia is ready to find the perfect playmate! This sweet girl is a fluffy grey/silver tabby with such expressive eyes.

She is a delightfully playful little girl who goes bonkers over her wand toys and laser pointers. She will not let the evil red nemesis win! She is full of energy and loves her treats, but also enjoys the easier things in life; like being held and getting her cuddles after she's exploded all of her energy.

This sweetie would do best in a house with someone ready to help expend some of her energy or with another furry friend. If you think Dahlia would be a good fit for your heart and home, contact Laura at 540-272-3506

“Look into the eyes of a cat for a moment. Your gaze will flicker between recognizing another being, and staring into a void.”

Let the photo updates continue! Cami couldn't let Freya have all the fun so she decided to strike a pose herself showing off that cute tabby face! Cami is hitting 7 months, like her siblings and wanted to let people see how gorgeous she is! If there is one thing I love about Cami, it's the way she just wants to borrow in with you when you hold or cuddle her. She wants to make sure she is as close as she can be. This little girl does not like being alone, so she definitely needs a home with either a friendly cat(this could also be one of her sisters) or with someone that can shower her with that comfort and affection she loves.

Cami is the cutest little brown tabby! This sweet girl is about 7 months old and just melts your heart!

She is the smallest of her siblings and is so curious about everything! She loves playing and tries her absolute best to chase the feathers off the wand toys. This sweetheart is such a cuddlebug and wants nothing more than to sleep with you at night and cuddle into your shoulder or sleep by your side. She is not one that likes being alone. She is quite a little talker when she can't see her human or her siblings.

She would do best in a home with another friendly cat or with one of her siblings.

If you think Cami would be a great addition to your heart and home, please reach out to Laura at 540-272-3506

“Cats show love in the tiniest ways: a head bump, a soft purr, or following you everywhere… but only when they feel like it.”

Lexus has new photos! Just look at that face! While Lexus needs a home that can be patient and let her open up at her own pace, she has such a great personality once she feels safe. Playful, affectionate, shadowing her human around. She loves watching the world, both inside and outside the window. Once she warms up, game on for that affection though. Could this expressive tuxedo be your new furever friend?

Lexus is an adorable Domestic Short Hair Tuxedo female. Her estimated date of birth is 7/10/2025.

This kitten could not have a cuter face or expressions. She is watchful with new people but warms up and seeks affection. Lexus is content and playful, enjoying any moving cat toy or ribbon wand, chasing plastic springs, or a nap in the sunny window bed.

Luxes follows her foster mom around to help with doing litterbox chores or broom sweeping. She is looking for a home that will be patient and allow her to feel safe at her own pace. Lexus would prefer a home with one of her siblings, another cat friends, or owners who have lots of love and attention to offer.

If you think you have room in your heart and home for this adorable kitten, please reach out to Laura at 540-272-3506.

“A cat’s purr is the sound of love wrapped in fur.”

Red Alert! New Photos for Bentley! In honor of this sweet boy turning 4 months, we got some updated photos for you all to enjoy. This sweet boy is easily entertained and loves playtime quite a lot. Don't put a ball near him if you don't want him to chase it for hours. He is vocal with his desire for love and will follow you around, especially if he spots a treat. He does love his cuddles and lap time. Do you think this previous void would be a great fit for your home?

Bentley is a handsome and extremely soft Domestic Short Hair black male. His estimated birth date is 7/10/2025.

Bently is easily entertained and enjoys his days searching for his ball to roll, playing with fishing poles, and climbing to the top of the cat tree. This sweet boy is sweet and talkative. Bentley will chirp at you often and seeks out your attention with his vocalization.

He is quick to greet his foster mom each morning. If he spots a Churu treat, he will be in your lap in an instant. This kitten loves to chase and cuddle with others, so he would be happy to be adopted with one of his siblings or into a home with another cat but also would do well with owners who have lots of love to share.

If you think you have room in your heart and home for this adorable kitten, please contact Laura at 540-272-3506

“You know the old saying: ‘A cat a day keeps the doctor away.’ ” - Syou Ishida

Freya has decided she needed a new photo and an updated bio. Why, you may ask? She has recently started really showing off and wanting extra lovings. She went from being cautious and not particularly liking behind held, to wanting to be held like a baby and making demands by rubbing against you for additional loves. It looks like our queen has decided to show her softer side and we are here for it. Nothing like a lot of extra love to warm you up on these chilly mornings.

Meet Freya, a wonderfully reserved queen.

Freya has recently been letting her affectionate side show. She loves being held like a baby and is more than happy to make demands for pets and rub against her humans to express her love. She also absolutely adores playing with you, especially if you want to play with a wand or ball toys. She does have a bit of the queen energy in her wanting things her way - if she wants to play, she wants to play now and will drop that ball toy right at your feet.

Freya would do best in a house with another friendly cat, or a human that is willing to bend to her demands for love and attention. If you think this regal queen would be a good fit in your heart and home, please contact Laura at 540-272-3506
