Calico kittens & cats in Falls Church, Virginia

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.

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).

Pippa is a very affectionate cat who loves to be loved. She enjoys laps and lying in front of warm fire places or on heat vents. She is a nervous girl who does well with her companion cat, Beatrix, but has progressively become too stressed to appropriately handle the addition of a dog in our house, whom we have had for two years. She would do well with either being paired with Beatrix or as a solo cat with plenty of human company. She has so much love to give to the right family! We are happy to provide a pet carrier and litter box/litter if needed.

In 2020 I was watching Cat for a friend due to a situation where they were unable to keep her. I ended up keeping cat for the next four years. Cat used to stay with my mom while I was in college. My mom had another cat who used to bully Cat, so she’s a bit shy. Cat enjoys hugs and cuddles. She’s a lover and would want your attention a lot. While at my mom’s house, they never played with her. Meaning Cat rarely plays with toys. You would have to reintroduce her to it and work with her on how to be playful if you would like. She does t bite or scratch. Cat is a lover not a fighter. She’s really a lazy cat. All she does is eat poop and sleep. She sometimes ignores people and would just lay there. Besides that she’s a great cuddle partner

I adopted Sugar when she was 5 months old after being found on the street by my local humane society. Over the past 3 yrs we have grown together, but also unfortunately grown apart. Shes a very one-human cat who does not prefer most other people, especially men. She does not get along with other female cats due to territorial issues, but does not seem to mind baby animals. Shes never met a dog, but has lived next door to dogs so is familiar with their barks & sounds. Sugar is a quiet & affectionate cat as long as shes satisfied. She has a very spunky, clingy, intelligent, & stubborn personality. She is smart to the point where she will understand situations that are happening, work at things until she solves the problem, & can understand your feelings. She needs an environment where she can be free & stimulated (loves being outside) & receive as much love & affection from someone daily as possible as this is what she needs the most. She is like family to me but is worthy of better.
