My story

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

Diver and Dappa are a gorgeous black & white and tabby duo! They're not brother and sister but they might as well be, because they rarely leave each other's side and must be adopted TOGETHER! They had a rough start but have made HUGE strides, and now they’re ready to find their forever home!

Dappa was found all alone, the sole survivor of her litter.  She was shy and skittish at first, but has grown to become a world class cuddle bug! She'll crawl right into your lap or hop into your arms and purr and purr.  Diver was found as a tiny kitten hiding in the bottom of a dumpster.  He was extremely averse to being handled at first, but with lots and lots of love and patience has become an adorable, inquisitive and affectionate boy!  

They have no experience with dogs or young children but are easily spooked, so they would do best in a home without them.  Aside from that, however, these kittens are 24 karat kitten gold! They're sweet, playful and beautiful, and Diver has the biggest and most expressive eyes!  They love soft, enclosed places to sleep (the cat tower is a favorite spot) and LOTS of toys like laser pointers and feather wands. Both Diver and Dappa will need plenty of patient and gentle cuddles to acclimate to their new home, but it'll be worth it.  They're just so sweet!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption application to learn a bit about the home our cats will be going to and the family's motivation for adoption and expectations about pet ownership. We also have an adoption contract, which includes a no declawing and indoor-only clause along with a vet promissory note that ensures you will continue with the medical care and spay/neuter if needed.

We DO NOT do any out of state adoptions except on the NC border on a case-by-case basis.

We require a donation of $120 for adoption of unaltered kittens with a PTV Contract. All kittens receive vaccine series and wormings as well as medical treatment as needed. The adopter is responsible for obtaining their rabies vaccine and spay/neuter if the kitten is not of age at the time of adoption. We can provide resources for low cost clinics that offer these services.

We ask a donation of $25 to adopt Career/barn cats.

We require a donation of at least $140 for adoption of Spayed/neutered cat.

Bonded pairs adoption donation is $200.

Sometimes we require rental checks or home inspections. We always have a Meet n Greet to make sure everyone gets along. We encourage bringing the whole family!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our pets are available for Meet and Greets at their various fosters homes or at our kittery at Pups n Stuff in Virginia Beach for fosters who do not show animals in their home. Appointments must be scheduled in advance!

At Pups n Stuff (where we're the Stuff), you can make an appointment to come see some of our adoptable kittens. It is at 4330 Holland Rd. in Virginia Beach.

Many of our adoptable adults are located at the Catnip Cat Cafe. The Cafe is in the Ghent section of Norfolk at 1611-B Colley Ave.

We also have adoptable adults at Pembroke PetSmart, 4421 Virginia Beach Blvd in Virginia Beach.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to improve the lives of displaced cats and reduce feral cat population in Hampton Roads by socializing outdoor-born and feral kittens for adoption into loving forever homes. We are a VDACS registered 501c3 nonprofit, founded in 2014 with over 60 foster homes.

Our heart is in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return of ferals), where cats are fixed, vaccinated, ear tipped, and allowed to live out their lives without reproducing. We are advocates for advancing legal and social acceptance of TNR in Hampton Roads. Our unique feral kitten socialization program has a 90% success rate in socializing feral-born kittens to become loving, in-home pets.

We are always seeking fosters, volunteers, transporters, and trappers to join our team!

We also appreciate donations! Find our most needed items
