Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Cheddar and Blueberry – a sweet bonded pair looking for a loving home together! These two handsome boys share a special bond and would do best as the only pets in the household, where they can relax and thrive without the stress of other animals. Cheddar is a confident, affectionate cat who loves people and enjoys attention, while Blueberry is a shy, gentle soul who follows Cheddar’s lead and adores his big brother. They snuggle and sleep together, and their companionship is heartwarming to see. Cheddar has a history of feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), which means he’ll need lifelong care to keep him healthy. This includes staying on a prescription urinary diet (wet food preferred for hydration) and continuing his daily medication, Reconcile, to help manage stress. He’s been doing great—no symptoms since his last vet visit—and both boys have excellent litter box habits. Adopters should monitor for signs of urinary issues and be prepared to provide veterinary care if needed. Cheddar also enjoys Purina Hydra Care, which helps with hydration and makes giving his medication easy. Blueberry is more reserved and will need time and patience to feel comfortable in his new home. He’s avoidant rather than aggressive—when scared, he may hiss but never swipes or bites. Once he feels safe, you’ll see his sweet personality shine. Both cats are wonderful with people, and while Cheddar is outgoing, Blueberry will quietly follow him around like a devoted little brother. If you’re looking for a pair of loving companions who will bring warmth and joy to your home, Cheddar and Blueberry are ready to meet you. With a calm, cat-savvy adopter and a stress-free environment, these boys will thrive and reward you with their unique personalities and adorable bond. Come give Cheddar and Blueberry the second chance they deserve!
These two are a bonded pair who can’t imagine life without each other, so they’ll need to be adopted together. To help make that happen, only one adoption fee applies!
Be sure to check the `shelter information` box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Fairfax Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fai

1 - Look at adoptable pets online, and when you see one you want to meet and possibly adopt, come into the shelter to visit with your prospective pet.
2 - Once at the shelter, walk through to see available pets and then visit with the one(s) you are considering adopting. A volunteer or staff member will facilitate the visit and tell you more about the pet you’re visiting.
3 - Once you decide that you would like to adopt, head to the main lobby to complete our brief adoption questionnaire and wait to speak with one of our adoption counselors to go over any questions you might have. We'll go over all of the available behavioral and medical history of the pet you want to adopt.
4 - Complete your adoption! Most pets can go home the day they are adopted, but some must be picked up one or two days later after their spay/neuter appointment.
Notes: 1) Some pets are in foster homes, and that is noted in their bio. If you are interested in a pet who is in a foster home, please email the shelter to arrange a visit. 2) Some special needs animals will be adopted on a best-fit basis, rather than the usual first-come-first-served.

More about this shelter
The Fairfax County Animal Shelter is Fairfax County’s only open-access municipal shelter. We take in stray animals in need, owner surrendered companion animals when the owner is no longer willing or able to care for them, and animals who have been seized or taken into custody by Animal Protection Police. We accept all companion animals from Fairfax County who are in need of care, regardless of health, age, temperament, or history. We do not euthanize for space or length of time, and all adoptable animals are given every opportunity for a new home and family. We have an incredibly compassionate staff, and we also have vibrant and active volunteer and foster programs. We know that every animal who enters our shelter will be given the best care and shown boundless love while they are in our care, and while they wait for their forever family to adopt them. We are very proud that, since 2013, our positive release rate has been over 90% each year!
