My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Myra is a sweet little lady who was trapped in a local neighborhood with her 4 beautiful babies. She did a great job raising her kittens and has learned to enjoy the easier life inside a house. Myra can be found rolling around chirping and purring and enjoying long pets down her back, but has her moments when she'd rather be alone.
Braveheart is a somewhat neurotic girl with a very nervous personality. Therefore she must stay with her mother to feel secure. She will often stay hidden somewhere throughout the day, but becomes your best friend at meal times! She becomes talkative and seeks pets and kisses and rubs against your legs when the food arrives.
These girls do not want to be picked up but will share space near you. They will play with wand toys with their humans and bat small toys around the house. This will be an important routine since Myra LOVES to eat and has packed on some weight since coming inside. They love to bask in a sunny window! They would appreciate a quiet home without children or dogs, and having humans who can understand and respect their body language.
Myra's estimated birthdate is 9/24/2021. Braveheart's estimated birthdate is 5/2/2022. They have been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and tested negative for FIV/FeLv.

Please note:
4Paws will only consider local adoptions (Northern VA / DC / MD metropolitan area).
4Paws does not adopt to students.
All kittens under 6 months of age must be adopted into a home that already has another young cat/kitten; otherwise, must be adopted in pairs with a littermate.

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 ($120 for an adult or $145 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.

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.
