My story

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

💖 The Zuul Experience: Quiet, Gentle, and Serene
Zuul is a stunning and soulful young cat who embodies the best qualities of a feline companion: quiet confidence and gentle affection. She is the purr-fect match for anyone seeking a low-key, beautiful presence in their home.

A Gentle Spirit: Zuul is incredibly laid back. She spends her days in serene observation, enjoying soft bedding, and patiently waiting for quiet moments of connection. Loud noises and fast movements are not her favorite things, which is why she is specifically looking for a calm environment.

The Power of Patience: Due to her initial shyness, Zuul needs a little time and a lot of patience to feel safe. She is not a cat who will immediately jump into your lap. However, once she realizes you are a source of gentle warmth and slow blinks, her trust is a truly beautiful and rewarding gift. Her foster parent has seen her transform from a shy wallflower to a sweet cat who slowly approaches for soft head-rubs.

A Quiet Companion: She is a very quiet cat—you will rarely hear her meow. She communicates her needs and happiness through soft chirps, slow blinks, and rubbing against your legs when she's feeling safe and secure.

🏡 Her Ideal Kingdom
Zuul is looking for a sanctuary where she can truly feel at ease.

Low-Key Household: Her ideal home is a quiet, adult-focused environment with minimal unexpected activity. A single person or a mature, calm couple would be a wonderful fit.

No Young Children: Due to her timid nature, young children and their unpredictable movements/noises would be overwhelming for Zuul. She needs a home where her space and boundaries are understood and respected.

A Fellow Feline Friend: Zuul is great with cats! She finds comfort and companionship in the presence of calm, well-adjusted felines and would likely love to have a laid-back cat buddy to share a sunbeam with.

✨ The Reward
Adopting Zuul is about embracing the quiet victories. You are not just getting a pet; you are getting the opportunity to earn the deep, unshakeable trust of a gentle soul. If you are patient, kind, and ready for a quiet companion, Zuul will enrich your life with her calm, loving presence.

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.
