My story

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

Selina: The Gourmet Adventurer Demanding Your Love (and Snacks!)
"Somebody say fish? I haven't been fed all day!" If there’s one phrase that sums up the life philosophy of Selina, it’s this enthusiastic demand for food. Selina is a vibrant, charismatic cat whose two great passions are simple: getting boundless attention and exploring every culinary possibility.

Selina operates on the simple, honest rule that anyone who offers her a full belly and a loving scratch is automatically her favorite person. She's quick to shower her chosen people with sweet kisses, and her affection is boundless. You'll quickly find that she's incredibly inquisitive, loving to explore every new space, investigate every bag of groceries, and supervise every cooking project. With Selina in the house, life is never boring!

A Social Butterfly with a Food Quirk
Selina is a remarkably adaptable and friendly feline. She adjusts seamlessly to new situations and is a joy to introduce to the family. She does great with other dogs and cats, easily making friends and proving her social credentials time and again. She is also wonderful with new people and kids, easily sliding into the role of a beloved family pet. She’s also a champion of the litter box—a true professional.

However, a cat with such a passion for fine dining has to protect her assets! Selina is a dedicated foodie, and she can get quite protective of her snacks and food bowl. This is a non-negotiable part of her charm, not a sign of aggression, and simply means that her new family must be mindful of her mealtimes. We recommend careful, supervised feeding in separate areas if she will be living with other pets to keep everyone happy and secure.

If you have a well-stocked pantry, a commitment to providing endless love, and a willingness to share your life with a cat who will keep you laughing (and constantly checking your food supply), Selina is ready to be your magnificent, affectionate, snack-loving companion!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Adoption events are held regularly in the community at Petco Winchester VA every other Saturday. Additional events are held at area festivals, wineries, breweries, and parks. Approved adopters can schedule a private meet and greet with their chosen pet. Same day adoptions are not done, so please apply in advance of any adoption event to give us time to check vet and personal references and to complete the video home visit.
