My story

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

Meet Mowgli: A Velvet-Soft Soul Ready for Love
If you’re looking for a handsome companion with fur as soft as a dream and a heart full of song, meet Mowgli. This stunning boy is a gentle, quiet soul who is ready to find his perfect "forever" rhythm with a patient family.

His Personality
Mowgli is a "low and slow" kind of guy. He isn't a high-speed kitten bouncing off the walls; instead, he has a very sweet, grounded personality:

The Velvet Touch: His fur is incredibly soft—it feels just like velvet!

The "Waiting" Game: One of Mowgli’s cutest habits is lying down on the floor and patiently waiting for you to come over and give him some love.

Constant Purring: Mowgli is a professional purrer. Once he’s happy, his little "motor" runs non-stop, letting you know just how much he appreciates your company.

Building Trust: While he was a bit unsure of being held at first, he has made amazing progress! With time and trust, he now enjoys being held and cuddled for short periods.

His Social Life
Mowgli is a bit of a homebody. He hasn't spent much time around large groups of people, but he has shown he can be a brave boy:

Great with Cats: Mowgli is very cat-friendly and would love a feline sibling to hang out with.

Friendly with Visitors: He did very well with cat sitters, showing he can make friends with new adults.

Niece Approved: He has been around a 10-year-old child and did just fine!

His Ideal Home
Mowgli is looking for a quiet, calm home where he can truly blossom. His perfect match would be:

Experienced Cat Lovers: He’d love a family or individual who speaks "cat" and understands how to give him the space and time he needs to feel secure.

Older Kids: A home with older, respectful children who understand his quiet nature.

The Must-Have Toy: To win Mowgli’s heart, you must have a "Cat Dancer" wand toy! It is his absolute favorite thing in the world and the quickest way to see his playful side.

Is your home the peaceful sanctuary Mowgli is dreaming of?

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.
