My story

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

That's a fantastic update! Sponsoring her adoption fee is a great detail to include. Here is a longer, detailed profile for Domino, highlighting her calm nature and respectful needs:

Domino: Ready to Steal a Pizza Your Heart... in Less Than 30 Minutes!
Found (where else?) near a Domino's Pizza, this sweet girl is aptly named and certainly knows how to deliver! Domino is not CHICKEN about seeming CHEESY when she's being KNEADY—she's an incredibly warm, affectionate cat looking for a home that understands the value of a calm, respectful cuddle.

A Laid-Back Cuddle Queen
Domino is the definition of a laid-back feline. You won't often find her running around or getting involved in rowdy games; she’s much more interested in finding the coziest, warmest spot for a peaceful nap. She's a quick adjuster who settles in easily with new people and is ready for love and cuddles almost immediately.

She loves her quiet time, but she's also a wonderfully social companion. She is great with kids and dogs and is perfectly okay with other cats, but she isn't interested in being a playmate. She much prefers to observe the action from the calm warmth of your lap.

Respect is the Main Ingredient
What Domino needs most is a home that respects her boundaries. She adores affection and will give you all the warmth and cuddles you could want, but she prefers not to be picked up unless she asks for it. She thrives with respectful humans who understand that the best cuddles are the ones she initiates!

If you're looking for a calm, devoted companion who asks for little more than a cozy place to sleep and a little respect, Domino is ready to deliver a lifetime of love. Even better news: Domino's adoption fee has already been generously sponsored! All you need to bring is an open heart and a warm lap.

Ready to invite this perfectly calm and loving girl into your family?

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.
