Story
Arthas is a 4.5-year-old neutered male cat who joined our home as a 5-month-old kitten in 2021. From the start, he has been very skittish and prefers to keep his distance from people. Over time, his comfort level around humans has not increased, and he remains a very independent, shy cat. Arthas does well around other cats and with dogs and enjoys observing and sometimes interacting with them, but he does not enjoy being handled, picked up, or petted. He thrives in a quiet, low-stress environment where he can choose his own space and maintain his independence. We are looking for a home that understands his need for autonomy, ideally a home that can offer a calm environment and patience with a cat who will never be a lap cat or seek out human attention. With the right home, Arthas can live a happy, comfortable life as the quiet observer he is meant to be. Arthas requires a calm, independent home. A modest rehoming fee of $25 applies to help ensure a committed adopter.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.NOTE- THESE CATS ARE LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ASKING TO REHOME THEIR PET.  PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW. Two black kittens (yet to be named) were trapped by one of our volunteers after being found wandering outside.  The babies are solid black and are so cute! They are a little skittish because they have not been handled a lot, but should come around quickly. All have been fixed and vaccinated.  They will need time and lots of handling in their new home to become trusting of people. They play well together with each other.  We are requesting that they be adopted as a pair or have another cat in the home so that they have a mate. If you are interested in adopting a cute little kitty or two, please fill out an adoption application at www.reachoutrescue.org and contact Bernice at 703-475-5326Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 3, 2025, 2:52 pm

Jasper is in a foster home!A note from his foster family:Meet Jasper!Jasper is a 6-month-old kitten bursting with energy and personality. He’s a playful, curious boy who absolutely loves interactive play—laser pointers, wand toys, and small toys are his favorites. Jasper can get overstimulated at times, so he does best with people who understand kitten energy and enjoy structured playtime to help him burn it off.Jasper would thrive in a home with another playful cat who can keep up with him and help channel his enthusiasm. He also does well with cat-friendly dogs, making him a great fit for an active, pet-savvy household. With the right environment, Jasper will shine as a fun, engaging companion who keeps life entertaining.If you’re looking for a lively kitten who loves to play and needs a buddy to match his energy, Jasper could be the perfect addition to your family! Please email hsccfosterteam@gmail.com to be put in touch with his foster family!
