Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Dudley is a high energy friendly boy with a penchant for cuddling. He has a big personality and can often be found playing on his own or with other cats. Dudley loves people and loves to play with fellow cat friends. He especially loves interacting with his human friends and will follow you anywhere in order to be close to the action. He will play with anything of intrigue, including pens, bottle lids and various other household items and is very good at entertaining himself. While he is playful and silly, Dudley is a sweetheart and will take any opportunity to crawl into your lap and watch as you work. He is fond of sitting next to his foster mom and requesting she also brush his face with her makeup brushes.
Dudley is a big fan of meal time and, as such, has cultivated a very wide palate. His favorite dry food is Science Hill Perfect Weight, and he enjoys Weruva wet food with freeze dried pieces added in. Dudley has also found himself enjoying many human meals when people are not around to stop him. His favorite foods (within moderation) include corndogs, croissants, plain baked potatoes, and the carcass of a rotisserie chicken he stole when his foster mom had her back turned.
Dudley would do well in a home with other cats and people that enjoy high energy cats. He does not need a tremendous amount of attention, but a home with people that like playtime and can devote some energy to him would be ideal. Dudley can also be adopted with his foster sister Audrey.
Dudley's estimated birthdate is March 2023. He is neutered, current on vaccines; tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV, and has been microchpped.

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.
