My story

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

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

Lucille is still learning to trust. The difference between Lucille and feral cats outside is that Lucille is exposed to indoor sounds, and can observe from her housemates how to interact and rely on humans for food and medical care if needed. we are fortunate that we have foster homes willing to give cats like Lucille the time needed to adapt and adjust to being loved. Lucille is truly a gorgeous color, and a lovely addition to her foster home… As long as her foster mom doesn’t reach for her or get closer than 3 to 4 feet away. We’re excited about the fact that she now allows us to see her at all, rather than hiding in a corner. We can’t wait till Lucille is friendly enough to find a home!

Good morning to Lucille! We are so glad this seven month old has decided it’s OK to make herself less invisible and more visible to her foster mom anyway. Looking forward to her Continue socialization and her foster home individual adoption. She is very striking! She spent two months at the shelter, hiding in the corner of her cage the best she could. She’s really enjoying the opportunity to get out and explore.

Sweet Lucille is still very shy but is enjoying the time her foster mom is giving her to become adjusted to her surroundings. Where the first week was spent hiding from foster mom, now she is slinking out for a quick check on the progress of lunch, and even sneaks a peek in public of the happenings around her. We continue to give her the needed time to adjust.

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.
