My story

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

Hello! I am the beautiful Hayley, and I would like to introduce myself to you! About 4 years ago, I was trapped at a colony near BTKR’s lead trap team and taken in for TNR. I was released back to my caretakers, but I found myself wandering to the trap team house for some reason (it wasn’t that far). They provided me with food and shelter and allowed me to get close on my own terms.

After a couple of years, I looked forward to seeing my new caretakers (now my fosters), and greeted them with meows, rubbing against their legs and allowing pets. I found comfort in knowing they were feeding me twice a day, providing a heated bed and house for the winter and a cooling bed for the summers. I would spend my days sitting on my house and nuzzling with my foster moms when they visited. I always let them know when it was time to eat, and they promptly fed me. I am a very healthy girl who is about 5 years old.

One day, they decided to see how I would react to being in my very own room with a cat tree, a comfy bed, and a TV for entertainment. It didn’t take me long to realize that this was the life for me! I get to sleep with a human every night, and I am the best cuddler ever! I enjoy my playtime and my favorite toys are the catnip banana and wand toys!

I am the sweetest outdoor cat my fosters have ever had! I just want attention and to sleep with my humans. Please give me all the pets you can! I am a very laid-back gal who deserves to be treated like the queen I am! I wish I knew if I was good with kids or dogs. I have been around other cats, but I don’t know much about my life before being rescued. However, I am sure that with a proper and slow introduction, I will be just fine wherever I get to live the rest of my life. 😊

Are you ready to be my furever home and make me the princess of my own castle?

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!

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
