My story

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

🐾 Meet Lycoris – The Playful Explorer with a Heart of Gold

Lycoris is a sweet and spirited kitten who’s always on the move! With a curious nature and boundless energy, she loves to play, explore, and turn every corner into an adventure. Whether she’s chasing toys or tracking down unsuspecting bugs (she’s a master bug hunter!), Lycoris brings excitement and joy to every moment.

She enjoys being pet—but on her own terms. Once she’s ready, she’ll happily curl up in your lap for snuggles and quiet affection. Her independent streak makes her all the more endearing, and her cuddles are worth the wait.

Lycoris does wonderfully with other animals—she’s great with our two large labs and loves to chase and wrestle with her sister kitten. She’d thrive in a home with other friendly pets and plenty of space to play.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate kitten with a big personality and a love for adventure, Lycoris is ready to meet you. Let her bug-hunting charm and lap-snuggling sweetness win you over! 🐱💕

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.
