Calico kittens & cats in Fairfax, Virginia

Lily is a beautiful cat, but she’s very scared by sudden noises. We are rehoming her due to unfortunate circumstances of the previous owner moving out and not wanting to take her and she doesn’t get along with our other two cats that are male (nurtured) cats. She’s very loving to people and likes to be petted. She’s never been around a dog so therefore I don’t know if she would get along with a dog. She has been an indoor cat her whole life and is spayed. She needs her current vaccines which will be done before going to her new forever home. Lily will be 4 years old in May. I will provide a month of her current cat food and litter for anyone who wants to adopt her.

We chose to expand our kitty family in 2020, during the height of Covid. We rescued Cannoli when she was only around 5 weeks old from our cousin's farm. She is now 4 years old, and unfortunately at this time, our schedules have become too hectic to manage our kitty household. She loves to be around humans and has especially been gentle, patient, and kind to our toddler. She only loves pets on her terms and will let you know that belly rubs are a no-no (head and back preferred). We would love to find a loving family to adopt our girl, love her, and care for her. She would best thrive in a single-cat household and one that could afford her to sunbathe on a deck (she stays within the confines of the deck parameters).

She was a stray and is extremely friendly to people of all ages. She wants to snuggle and loves being pet and will even play fetch. We are sad to see her go. Unfortunately we have too many children and another on the way to make sure this cat gets the attention she needs. We think our environment is too much for her and is stressing her out. Over the past year we have been trying to get her leg healed. She has developed a stress reaction to overgrooming and has become quite serious. She takes two meds a day and is slowly getting better, but she deserves to be somewhere more comfortable.

Gabby's Personality Gabby is a beautiful tabby/calico girl with a blend of stripes and patches of color. She is an exceptionally friendly and outgoing kitty who settles into a new home easily and greets you at the door when you return home. She is curious and a little mischievous...if you can't find her, check your closets to see if she has sneaked inside, seemingly waiting for you to come and find her! Gabby loves, loves, loves hanging out with people. If you are working from home, she is usually playing or napping nearby. If you are sitting on the couch, Gabby likes to sit in your lap or next to you. At night, she often sleeps by your side...or sometimes decides to find a cozy spot elsewhere until you wake up in the morning. Then Gabby is there to greet you. This girl is also becoming more and more playful every day. She likes batting around plastic tops to containers and fluffy balls, and goes wild when you play with her with a feather on a stick or laser pointer. Daily play activity is important - so bring out the feather toy or laser pointer at least once a day for some good, vigorous playtime. Gabby can also be a little sassy under some circumstances. While she likes to be petted, she can get a little overstimulated and nip if you pet her too much. She may also nip if she wants to get your attention so its important to make sure Gabby has plenty playtime with people, a variety of toys to play with, and a kitty condo or perch in front of a window so she can watch activities outdoors. Type of Home Gabby Needs Gabby needs a home with caretakers who understand both her sweet and sassy sides. While she is not overly demanding, Gabby needs plenty of playtime and activity around her to keep her engaged. An adult couple would be ideal, but a home with an older cat-savvy child would be fine (over about 10 yrs of age). No young children now or in the future. We have not seen Gabby interact with dogs or other cats although we understand she did find sharing space with a couple of other cats at a shelter. Where Gabby Came From Gabby came into SPCA NOVA's care from a local shelter where she had been brought in as a stray kitty with a litter of kittens. All kittens had been adopted by the time she was transferred to SPCA's care.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.

I had Gracie since June 2022. Gracie is a very affectionate young cat. It takes her awhile for her to get acquainted with someone. She loves being clean and demands a clean litter box. Pretty Liter is the prefered brand. She is not an outside cat and doesn't like loud noises. She prefers to sleep in a bed with you and not in on a cat bed. She has never eaten soft cat food, only dry. She is not spayed due to timing and a busy schedule, which is why she has never been outside. We are moving and unable to bring her with us.

** Courtesy Post ** This is cross-eyed Lovey. She is about 7 years old. Completely healthy and up-to-date on everything. She is, as her name implies, very loving. She is also very talkative. She will tolerate other cats, but does not like them. She just wants attention. Lovey was found in a rock quarry parking lot as a kitten along with her brother, Mr. Fluff (see separate listing). Both had had half of their tail chopped off.
