My story

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

Meet Catalina: The Professional Biscuit Maker!
If you’re looking for a cat who truly "loves love," look no further than Catalina. This sweet girl is a dedicated affection-seeker who is ready to find her permanent home.

Her Sweet Personality
Catalina is a little shy when she first meets new people, but don't let that fool you! As soon as she realizes you’re there to give her pets, her shell melts away and she becomes a total lovebug. She has a heart of gold and just wants to be near someone who appreciates her gentle nature.

The Ultimate Goal: Full Biscuit Shelves
Catalina takes her "job" very seriously. She is a world-class biscuit maker (kneading) and is looking for a human who is prepared for her hard work!

Her Dream Human:

Wears Cozy Layers: She’s looking for someone who wears thick sweaters or hoodies.

Patient & Encouraging: She needs a lap that can handle some serious kneading without interruption.

Ready for Snuggle Sessions: Her goal is to fully stock the "biscuit shelf" while purring up a storm.

Is Catalina Your Match?
Catalina is the perfect companion for someone who enjoys quiet afternoons, cozy blankets, and the soothing rhythm of a happy cat at work. Once she trusts you, you’ll have a loyal friend who will fill your home with love (and plenty of imaginary sourdough!).

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.
