My story

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

🥤 Meet Soda Pop: The Effervescent Introvert
Don’t let the name fool you—while Soda Pop is full of "fizz" once he’s comfortable, he starts off a little flat with new people. This stunning boy is the definition of a "diamond in the rough" who just needs a patient jeweler to help him shine.

📜 The Campaign Platform
Soda Pop is running on a platform of patience and play. When you first meet him, he will likely be "canvassing" from under the sofa or behind a curtain. He is extremely shy with new faces and takes his time to vet his human companions. However, once he grants you his "presidential seal of approval," his true personality bubbles over!

🏰 The Ideal Executive Mansion
Soda Pop isn’t looking for a fast-paced West Wing; he’s looking for a calm, patient sanctuary. His ideal "cabinet" includes:

Patience: Humans who understand that his trust is earned, not given, and are willing to give him plenty of weeks (or months) to fully decompress.

Feline Colleagues: Soda Pop is a social butterfly with other cats! He gets lonely without a four-legged friend and would love a home with other resident cats to show him the ropes.

The Toy Chest: He is a toy connoisseur. From feather wands to crinkle balls, playtime is the fastest way to his heart.

The Junior Staff: Despite his shyness with adults, he is surprisingly wonderful with kids of all ages, including small children.

📊 Vital Statistics
Temperament: Shy at first, extremely playful once settled.

Social Skills: Great with cats, great with kids, great with small children.

Favorite Hobby: Olympic-level toy chasing and "secret" snuggling.

Are you ready to be the calm harbor Soda Pop needs? He may not give his inaugural address on Day One, but the wait for his love is worth every second.

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.
