My story

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

Note: Luna needs a new foster or forever home by the end of February 2026. His foster family will be selling their home and moving. 

Luna's Personality

Luna is a very friendly, inquisitive, and confident kitty. Despite his name, Luna is a BOY! When he was a kitten, his family thought he was a girl. He is a very social cat - he loves hanging out with his foster family and when guests come into your home he walks right up to greet them and often plops down on the ground to entice them to play with him. He loves being petted, and perching in front of a window to watch the world go by outdoors. Luna can be quite talkative so be prepared to have conversations with him!

 

Luna loves interactive playtime with his foster family. One of his favorite interactions is when you wave a string on a wand so he can play with and jump on it. He also plays with toys on his own and likes having a box or drawer full of toys that he can rummage through and decide what to play with next. Luna also loves to hop inside a box or a paper bag. He even plays "hide and seek" with you - he will hide and loves having you look for him then he'll gently jump out at you.

What Type of Home Luna Needs

Luna needs a home where he gets plenty of interaction with people and has room to roam around. He is used to living in a single family home with multiple people, including children. A home with more than one person would be ideal. A single person home could work if that person is home a good part of the time and has guests that visit. A family with older kids (over 12 yrs of age) who are cat-savvy would be great, but no young children. He can get a little 'mouthy' when he plays - we are teaching him some manners. We don't know how he would be with other cats or dogs.

Where Luna Came From

Luna came from a loving home that was no longer able to care for him. So they contacted their neighborhood "cat lady" who happens to be an SPCA NOVA volunteer to ask for help finding Luna a new home.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Please read our cat adoption guidelines (at http://www.spcanova.org/). We put a lot of financial and emotional support into our cats and want them placed in homes where they will be members of the family for the rest of their lives. Indoor cats, with care, can live up to 20 years. Not everyone agrees with all of our guidelines. Please read our explanations and talk to our volunteers. If you disagree with us, we suggest you adopt a cat from a different source such as a local shelter. When you adopt a cat from us, you must sign a legal contract stating that you will comply with our guidelines. The adoption fee is $150 for one cat and $250 for two.

For those interested in cat adoptions, all potential adopters must read our adoption guidelines (available on our website at www.spcanova.org), then meet the cat in person either at an Adoption Fair or in their foster home. We take applications only after you've met the cat and we both feel it's a good match.

All adopters interested in adopting a dog must meet the dog in person, and submit an application. A housecheck is done, and references are checked. If approved, the dog will be placed in the home for a two-week trial period, to make sure that it is a good "fit" for both people and dog. If it is, the adoption is finalized and the adoption fee is paid. We do not adopt outside of the Washington DC metro area.

Go meet their pets

Our dogs are available to meet at twice monthly adoption events in Fairfax, VA.

Our cats are available to meet you in their foster homes
by appointment weeknights or weekends.

More about this rescue

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Northern Virginia is a non-profit, all-volunteer, private organization established by local concerned citizens to rescue domestic animals from cruelty, neglect, and abandonment. We receive all our funding from membership dues, donations, and fundraising events. We are always striving to enlarge our animal rescue operations and expand our services to the community. Our voluntary Board of Directors, committee members, and volunteers are responsible for all SPCA activities. We do not have a shelter facility, and depend on foster parents to care for domestic animals until adoption.
