My story

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

Meet Mothman: Your Playful Pal
Prepare to fall head over heels for Mothman, a charming kitten who brings a dash of sweet shyness, a whole lot of play, and endless affection once he warms up! This handsome boy is ready to find a loving home where he can be part of the action.

The Heart of a Player, The Soul of a Kitten
Mothman might be a little reserved when you first meet him, but don't let that fool you! That initial shyness quickly melts away the moment he realizes you're ready to play. He is obsessed with toys and will zoom, pounce, and bat at anything you dangle. More than anything, Mothman loves playing with other kittens—he would truly thrive in a home with another young, friendly feline companion to share his antics with!

He adores being around his foster family and is happiest when he’s right in the center of the action, whether he's playing or just observing.

A Social Star for the Whole Family
Mothman’s gentle nature makes him a wonderful companion for a diverse household:

Dogs: Excellent news for dog lovers! Mothman is good with dogs and even loves to be around the foster family's pup. He's comfortable sharing his space with a friendly canine.

People: He quickly warms up to anyone who offers to play. Once he knows you, he'll be your devoted pal!

Children: While he hasn't been around kids, his calm and curious disposition suggests he would be great with respectful children who know how to treat a kitten gently and give him space when he needs it.

Ready for Liftoff
Mothman is looking for a patient and playful family who understands that it takes him a moment to get comfortable. Once he does, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, entertaining, and incredibly affectionate friend. If you have a playful pet waiting for a friend, or you're ready to adopt a pair, Mothman might just be the perfect addition!

Is your home ready for a little Mothman magic?

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.
