My story

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

Meet Aunt Gladys: Your New Best Friend!
If you’re looking for a feline companion who is as social as she is charming, look no further than Aunt Gladys. This girl is the definition of a "people person" and is ready to bring a lot of love (and a little bit of sass) to her forever home.

Personality & Spirit
Aunt Gladys is anything but shy. While some cats hide under the bed when guests arrive, Gladys is at the front door ready to greet them! She is highly engaging, loves to follow her foster humans from room to room, and thrives on attention. If you want a shadow who will supervise your daily activities and offer constant companionship, she is your girl.

Ideal Home Life
Humans: She would do wonderfully with a single person or a couple. She is also great with gentle children of any age, making her a fantastic family addition.

Other Pets: Gladys gets along with other cats, but she has a "queen bee" personality. She may bully more timid cats, so she’d do best with a confident feline friend or as an only pet.

Dogs: Her history with dogs is unknown, so slow introductions would be necessary.

Why You’ll Love Her
Affectionate: She absolutely loves pets and will actively seek out your touch.

Confident: New environments and new people don’t faze her; she adapts quickly.

Engaging: She isn't just a pet; she’s a participant in your life.

Ready to meet your new favorite relative? Aunt Gladys is waiting to follow you home!

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.
