Freya's story...
Freya is a sweet girl about 2 years old who has had a rough start in life. She was living outdoors in rural Virginia and ended up pregnant. She happened by some luck to find the home of a 4Paws volunteer who fed her.

After her kittens were born, Freya brought them around for food, and they were caught by the volunteer, taken to the vet for care and adopted out to loving homes. Miss Freya was also caught, vetted, spayed and her left ear was tipped, marking her as a spayed feral. During her recovery from spay surgery, she showed her calm and loving side to her foster people. She wasn’t feral at all. She enjoyed being petted and loved-on by her foster family. So she came to 4Paws to find her forever home.

Freya enjoys being petted and brushed. She likes to roll over so you can reach more of her. She will find her way onto a lap, and loves to sleep with her people. She prefers to keep her four feet on a surface of her choosing—doesn’t really like to be picked up. She uses a sisal scratching post—not the furniture, and has perfect litter box habits. And a very cute Meow!

Freya tolerates other cats, having shared space with them at her foster home. She especially enjoys young ones. She does not like dogs, possibly due to bad experiences with them in her outdoor-living days. She enjoys the attention of people of all ages who are kind and gentle with her.

Freya is ready for her loving forever home. She is up to date on vaccines, has tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and is spayed. Is your home just the place for her?

About Our Rescue Group...
The 4Paws Rescue Team is a nonprofit community-based all volunteer organization that takes in neglected, abandoned, abused and unwanted cats and kittens. Cats rescued by 4Paws receive vaccines and appropriate veterinary care before being adopted into permanent, loving homes. An animal rescued by 4Paws will never be euthanized except out of medical necessity.

Additionally, 4Paws is dedicated to supporting the management of populations and improving the health of feral cat colonies. 4Paws volunteers also hold seminars in local schools to teach children the importance of responsible pet care.

4Paws is a qualified public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions are fully tax deductible as allowed by law. A copy of our FY2005 annual report may be viewed by clicking here.

The 4Paws Rescue Team participates in the Combined Federal Campaign and Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign. Federal Government workers can contribute to 4Paws through payroll deductions by designating #34517. Virginia State Employees may contribute through their payroll by designating #3472.

Come Meet Our Pets...
Adoption fairs are held once or twice a month at various PETCO stores in Northern Virginia. The adoption fairs are usually held on Saturday’s from 1:00 to 5:00. Between 30 and 60 cats and kittens are shown for adoption at each fair—with the larger fairs generally occurring April through October.

While they are waiting to find permanent loving homes, our cats temporarily live in foster homes. The foster families bring the cats and kittens to the adoption fairs to be seen by potential adopters. Applicants have the opportunity to handle the cats and in some cases, meet the foster parents who can provide additional insight into a cat’s habits and personality.

Our Adoption Process...
At the adoption fairs, if you meet a kitten or cat that you want to adopt, you will be asked to complete an application and contract and leave a check for the adoption fee ($95 for an adult or $125 for un-neutered kitten of which $50 is a deposit that is refunded after you provide 4Paws proof of sterilization). We ask that you pay the adoption fee up front at the fairs in order to “put a hold” on the cat until your application is processed. If your application is not approved, your check is returned to you.

Neither cats nor kittens are sent to their new homes on the day of the fair. It usually takes 4-5 days to process the application before the cat can go to his or her adoptive home. Pre-approval is an option, though. To accelerate the adoption process, you can fax a completed application and contract to us at 703-560-9795 a few days before the fair. Adoption Applications are available on this website.
