My story

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

An approved adoption application is required to meet me in my foster home -- fill out an application today! Our mailing address is Reston, VA and our cats fostered in NoVA and DC homes.  Washington, D.C.- Suburban Virginia/Maryland Area inquiries only, please!


Personality Plus and sweetness and beauty in one package! This sweet girl is affectionate and relational. Shelby likes to be where the people are.

She is a playful, intelligent girl who loves her toys, exploring cupboards, getting cuddles and wrestling f iercely with her brother Oscar.

Shelby can be found curled up napping with her brother on a soft blanket or directly underfoot as she follows you around the house.

She loves kisses and pets and also carrying her favorite toys all throughout the house. She can be a talker and will call out for her people when she’s not sure why she’s found herself alone upstairs.

She wants to be where you are. And when she’s hungry for breakfast she’s not shy about letting you know.

Shelby would best thrive in a busy family household. She does great with her foster family’s dog and other cats.

Shelby and Oscar are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We take in new cats weekly and often have kittens already in foster homes with their moms who will be ready for adoption in a few weeks. Many of our intakes are adopted from their foster homes before they make it to the website based on the applications we have processed for approved adopters. Please get your applications in now to be first in line!
