Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Pomegranate is bonded to his brother Persimmon and they must be adopted together. THey are currently available as a foster to adopt.
These big burly boys were found outside, curled up in a tight ball together to try to keep their body heat between them. When they immediately walked up to their rescuer (a stranger), it was clear that they were WAY too friendly to be trying to survive in the Great Outdoors.
As a bonded pair, these big boys do everything and go everywhere together. Their favorite activity is to sprawl out on the bed and particularly love it when a human joins them for pets. Although they have discovered that indoors they don't have to curl up so tightly, they do most frequently cuddle with each other.
They are generally calm and quiet but also love to play with each other-usually in the morning or evening. A favorite game is hide and seek with one racing the other up and over the bed only to hide under the bed for a surprise attack. It is the best entertainment!
Both these boys were neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and have tested negative for FIV/FeLV/Heartworm. Pomegranate is been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and his treatment has been keeping symptoms at bay. Both use their big litter boxes and Pomegranate prefers a pee pad at the bottom of his.

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.
