My story

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

Rooney is the prettiest and silliest girly! Pictures don’t even do justice to how gorgeous she is! She is extremely vocal and always wants to gab, especially when she greets you and when she’s hungry! She makes quick friends with any house guest, but definitely has her favorite people and makes a great companion. Rooney isn’t the most cuddly cat but has her moments when she wants all your attention, and she’ll make it clear! She wants to be near her human but not always touching; she’s squirmy if you smother her with too much love or hold her.

Rooney’s favorite toys are anything stringy or anything small that she can toss around on the floor - pens, makeup and paint brushes, Q-tips, hair clips, and more! She will not hesitate to jump up on a table if she spots something she can knock off and use as a toy! When she gets the zoomies (usually in the morning and at bed time) her favorite game is to attack moving limbs under a blanket. She’s pretty gentle though, and it’s hilarious! She can be pretty goofy and clumsy, sometimes falling off of things or jumping dramatically.

She spends most of the day by a window watching birds and napping. When she was spayed they found out she was pregnant and unfortunately terminated the pregnancy, so she has developed a bit of an udder. They also said she was not friendly with the other animals there at the vet, but her foster mom thinks she’d warm up to others in a less stressful environment - with proper, slow introductions, of course!

She eats Fancy Feast wet food (patés only) and Iams healthy adult with chicken dry food. Her favorite treats are Temptations squeezable purées! Whoever adopts Rooney is the luckiest person and will have a loving companion and endless source of entertainment!

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

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
