My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If you loved Toothless the dragon, you’ll get Mika’s personality. You can hold your hand out, but she’s the one who says whether you can pet or not—if she rubs your hand, she’s ready for love. If not, you’d best withdraw that hand.
After she gets to know you, she will love to sit in your lap, snuggle with you in bed, and nap nearby during the day. She is an active, curious girl and isn’t still for long unless she’s asleep, but she is good at amusing herself with toys and doesn’t need constant attention.
She loves Temptations treats and is clever about finding them. She does well with a treat dispenser she has to figure out.
Mika can get along with other cats but plays rough and will need a gradual introduction. She is a bit of an introvert so needs a space of her own to retreat to when she gets overwhelmed. She needs a home without small children or dogs.
Mika’s estimated birth date is November 2023. She has been neutered and is current on vaccines and has been microchipped.

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.
