The adoption fee for all cats and kittens is $190. This includes Microchip, FIV/FeLV testing, all age-appropriate vaccinations, flea/ear mite treatment, deworming, and spay/neuter with our veterinarian. When adopted, our cats and kittens are healthy, to the best of our knowledge. Many of our rescued kitties were not cared for adequately in their previous lives and are in need of significant vet care when they come to us. Frequently, we spend much more per cat or kitten than is covered by the adoption fee. Because Little Buddies is a predominately volunteer organization, we rely on donations and adoption fees to cover our veterinary and pet care expenses. We adopt to those in Northern Virginia, as well the Maryland and Washington, DC area.

All of our cats and kittens are fostered in the homes of our dedicated volunteer Foster Parents, who help us ensure every little buddy is socialized to be the perfect companion for you and your family. We've frequently heard people say that they will only ever adopt from us because of the love and care that we give to each and every kitty. Approved adopters will meet our little buddies in the foster family's home, giving you the opportunity to make meaningful initial connections without the chaos of an adoption event.

At Little Buddies, we believe every animal deserves a loving home. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Northern Virginia. Our mission is to provide a safe haven for animals in need, including fostering and adoption of abandoned, homeless, and abused animals, essential veterinary care, spaying/neutering, and TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) activities. Our dedication is to rescue, care for, and rehome homeless, abused, and neglected animals.
