My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ambrosia!
Ambrosia is a graceful, striking mama cat who arrived at her foster home in April 2025—pregnant and calm as can be. She raised her five kittens with quiet confidence and devotion, proving herself to be a truly wonderful mother. Three of her kittens have already found their forever homes, and two (DW and Arthur) are still with her and also available for adoption.
Now it’s Ambrosia’s turn.
She genuinely enjoys being around people, but she’s not demanding or clingy. Ambrosia likes to keep her humans company by following along from room to room or perching on a nearby cat tree to observe the world. When she’s feeling especially comfortable, she’ll roll over and show her soft belly—a gentle sign of trust.
Ambrosia likes petting and brushing, but prefers affection on her own terms. Her foster mom believes there’s a snuggly lap cat waiting to emerge once Ambrosia is in a calm, patient home where she can finally enjoy one-on-one attention instead of a busy foster environment.
She does well with mellow, easygoing cats but doesn’t appreciate pushy or territorial companions. Ambrosia would be perfectly happy as an only cat or with another laid-back feline friend.
Food is one of her great joys—she’s very food-motivated and always ready for mealtime. Between naps, she enjoys wand toys and laser pointers and can switch from relaxed lounger to playful hunter in seconds.
Ambrosia is a thoughtful, gentle soul who will thrive with someone willing to give her time and space to build trust. For the right person or home, she’ll be a deeply rewarding and loving companion.
Ambrosia is spayed, microchipped, negative for FELV/FIV and is up to date on all vaccinations.

At the adoption fairs, if you meet a kitten or cat that you want to adopt, you will be asked to complete an application and contract and leave a check for the adoption fee ($120 for an adult or $145 for un-neutered kitten of which $50 is a deposit that is refunded after you provide 4Paws proof of sterilization). We ask that you pay the adoption fee up front at the fairs in order to “put a hold” on the cat until your application is processed. If your application is not approved, your check is returned to you.
Neither cats nor kittens are sent to their new homes on the day of the fair. It usually takes 4-5 days to process the application before the cat can go to his or her adoptive home. Pre-approval is an option, though. To accelerate the adoption process, you can fax a completed application and contract to us at 703-560-9795 a few days before the fair. Adoption Applications are available on this website.

Adoption fairs are held once or twice a month at various PETCO stores in Northern Virginia. The adoption fairs are usually held on Saturday’s from 1:00 to 5:00. Between 30 and 60 cats and kittens are shown for adoption at each fair—with the larger fairs generally occurring April through October.
While they are waiting to find permanent loving homes, our cats temporarily live in foster homes. The foster families bring the cats and kittens to the adoption fairs to be seen by potential adopters. Applicants have the opportunity to handle the cats and in some cases, meet the foster parents who can provide additional insight into a cat’s habits and personality.
