My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Some cats have unique personality traits that need to be honored and respected, and beautiful LUNA LU is one of those! Luna needs to be the ONLY CAT in the household and preferably the only animal; as she has told us in no uncertain terms that she doesn't like to share her person/people. She is happiest when she can get your full attention. Her true demeanor will shine if she is in a home that is gentle and not too demanding, otherwise you could have a feisty fluff.

Here are her shining stars as listed by her foster mom: "She is the first to greet you in the bathroom. She will lay next to you, she will lay on you and she will lay at the foot of your bed. She is loving and will show with her nuzzling. She isn't fond of being picked up and held for extended time, probably because of her larger sized frame. She is faithful to a clean litterbox. She loves her vertical scratching post and her flat cardboard-scratch box. I have never seen her pick any furniture with her claws."

Himalayan cats are indoor-only cats. Himalayans are not fighters by nature. They would not do well, defensively, against typical outdoor animals, so her adopter must remain vigilant and not let her outdoors!

**She is currently on prescription dry food, due to having sensitive digestion issues which could be due to stress.

**She isn't fond of a lot of brushing, so a clip at least once a year is recommended to eliminate the matting that can occur due to her thick dense coat. 

Her adoption fee is $85.00



 
 
Successful adopters will live locally in Lynchburg City or Campbell County, or a county touching Campbell County. Alternatively, if you live outside our local area, have a vet reference whom we can contact to verify that your pets have all been spayed/neutered and current with heartworm testing and rabies vaccines, we would consider your application as a "foster to adopt" conditional adoption.  Please start the adoption process with an application, found here: www.friendsofcampbellcounty.org

Additional adoption info

We start with an application so our volunteers and fosters can have an idea of what the adopter is seeking. We ask that other pets in the home be spayed/neutered already if of appropriate age, current with rabies shots, and prefer use of heartworm preventive. We ask for a non-family personal reference as well as a vet reference to contact. We do home visits only if we feel it is vital to the pet's successful placement.

Applications are generally processed within 24 to 48 hours. Foster parents will contact the applicants to advise them of the progress of their application and to set up a meet and greet. Because volunteers work full-time jobs, contact is often made by email.

Fees to adopt range from $20 to $80 for cats, and from $75 to $300 for dogs. A contract requires that the adopter contact FOAC and return the pet to our care at any time if the adoption does not work out.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

FOAC vaccinates and deworms the dogs and cats at the Campbell County Shelter, which is open to the public from 12 to 5 weekdays and 11 to 4 on Saturdays. That address is 322 Dennis Riddle Drive, Rustburg, VA (behind Yellow Branch Elementary School.)

Available by appointment for visits are the dogs and cats noted as being in "foster care." We also visit Petsmart in Lynchburg, VA, with our adoptable dogs and cats at various times.

More about this rescue

Established in 2011. FOAC filled the vacancy left by the local humane society when they ended their association with Campbell County Animal Control. FOAC became its own entity in 2012 and has grown to 300 volunteers. We work in partnership with Campbell County Animal Control, and as their guests at the shelter. We do not have our own shelter nor overhead expenses, and no paid employees.
