My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

When Oliver throws himself on the floor in front of you so that the only way to get past is to give him a belly rub as admission to his area, you go with it! This is Oliver. He is a perfect cat, and it has taken him several months to become this way. He is so ready to find a home with another cat. (He would love to be adopted with Juniper, so that they can hang out together and he can continue mentoring her as she grows.) Oliver is about 15 months old. When someone new comes to visit at the foster home, he clearly feels there is “stranger danger!” yet once he is comfortable with his new human companion, he is the most amazing and attentive cat ever. He is the one to meet and greet when the morning sun appears. If the Foster Mom is having a bad day, Oliver is the one to comfort and make her feel better. Oliver started out having a rough time at the shelter, and that’s why this is so amazing to see him outgoing, healthy, and ever so happy! Neutered, uses his litter box faithfully, and the best companion ever. He has not been around small children, and he would probably be best in a home with other cats or older kids rather than small children.

Because he is so awesome, his foster mom has agreed to sponsor his adoption fee. Please start with an application so we can see if you are going to be his best match.

Additional adoption info

We start with an application so our volunteers and fosters can have an idea of what the adopter is seeking. We ask that other pets in the home be spayed/neutered already if of appropriate age, current with rabies shots, and prefer use of heartworm preventive. We ask for a non-family personal reference as well as a vet reference to contact. We do home visits only if we feel it is vital to the pet's successful placement.

Applications are generally processed within 24 to 48 hours. Foster parents will contact the applicants to advise them of the progress of their application and to set up a meet and greet. Because volunteers work full-time jobs, contact is often made by email.

Fees to adopt range from $20 to $80 for cats, and from $75 to $300 for dogs. A contract requires that the adopter contact FOAC and return the pet to our care at any time if the adoption does not work out.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

FOAC vaccinates and deworms the dogs and cats at the Campbell County Shelter, which is open to the public from 12 to 5 weekdays and 11 to 4 on Saturdays. That address is 322 Dennis Riddle Drive, Rustburg, VA (behind Yellow Branch Elementary School.)

Available by appointment for visits are the dogs and cats noted as being in "foster care." We also visit Petsmart in Lynchburg, VA, with our adoptable dogs and cats at various times.

More about this rescue

Established in 2011. FOAC filled the vacancy left by the local humane society when they ended their association with Campbell County Animal Control. FOAC became its own entity in 2012 and has grown to 300 volunteers. We work in partnership with Campbell County Animal Control, and as their guests at the shelter. We do not have our own shelter nor overhead expenses, and no paid employees.
