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!


Chessie has been friendly from day one. She settles in easily, and is eager to explore and make herself at home. Chessie is curious and comes running when you call. Unless she’s cozily napping in a warm spot, she will most likely be following you around or sitting in your lap. Chessie recently had kittens and she showed to be the sweetest and most patient young mother. Always loving and playful, now it’s her turn to be the center of attention and get all the love and play she deserves.

 

Chessie loves to be held with her front paws perched on your shoulder, where she’ll snuggle in, give gentle kisses, and soak up chin scratches. She's also been known to nap on her foster dad's chest whenever he lays down.

 

Chessie is quite the conversationalist and will happily chat while following you around. She loves to play, particularly with wand toys. She is good with kids and would make the perfect companion for another kitty who needs a fun and loving friend, but would also do well as a solo pet in a family who can give her plenty of attention and affection.

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!
