Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Serena Roanoke, a female born in June 2015, was returned to 4Paws with her mom, Simone Roanoke, who's just over 11. Their adopters had a baby and don't have enough time to give their kitties the attention and love they deserve.
Simone and Serena are not bonded and we expect they would adjust well to being adopted separately. However, given their age, it would be preferable for them to be adopted together.
Both Serena and Simone enjoy being picked up; Serena would sometimes curl up on the couch next to her humans for some pets, but not before she spent some time kneading a blanket to ensure the spot was just right.
Simone likes her solitude, snoozing in cozy places, but she also enjoys long stretches of attention/pets. She was curious about the children in her former home and was very patient despite the toddler squeezing her tail sometimes. Serena was also curious about the kids, but was a little wary of the toddler.
Despite their age, they both still love to play! Serena is the more energetic of the two and sometimes gets the zoomies. Both Simone and Serena enjoy attacking ribbon and other similar toys.
They both approach their humans for affection, including requests for pets! They were not allowed to sleep with their prior owners because they're light sleepers, but it seems clear that Serena would like to as she would meow for a few minutes after her parents would say goodnight....perhaps in hopes that they'd let her sleep with them. Simone never made any similar requests.
They've been exposed to a small dog and they were not fans. Given their age, we think it's best that their adoptive home(s) be one(s) that do not have any dogs. We expect that they would do well with other medium to older aged, mellow cats.
Serena has been spayed, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for FeLV and FIV, and has been microchipped.

At the adoption fairs, if you meet a kitten or cat that you want to adopt, you will be asked to complete an application and contract and leave a check for the adoption fee ($120 for an adult or $145 for un-neutered kitten of which $50 is a deposit that is refunded after you provide 4Paws proof of sterilization). We ask that you pay the adoption fee up front at the fairs in order to “put a hold” on the cat until your application is processed. If your application is not approved, your check is returned to you.
Neither cats nor kittens are sent to their new homes on the day of the fair. It usually takes 4-5 days to process the application before the cat can go to his or her adoptive home. Pre-approval is an option, though. To accelerate the adoption process, you can fax a completed application and contract to us at 703-560-9795 a few days before the fair. Adoption Applications are available on this website.

Adoption fairs are held once or twice a month at various PETCO stores in Northern Virginia. The adoption fairs are usually held on Saturday’s from 1:00 to 5:00. Between 30 and 60 cats and kittens are shown for adoption at each fair—with the larger fairs generally occurring April through October.
While they are waiting to find permanent loving homes, our cats temporarily live in foster homes. The foster families bring the cats and kittens to the adoption fairs to be seen by potential adopters. Applicants have the opportunity to handle the cats and in some cases, meet the foster parents who can provide additional insight into a cat’s habits and personality.
