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

Story
Silverbell is in a foster home!A note from her foster family:This sweet girl is about 9 years old and she is spayed and up to date on her vaccines. She was surrendered to HSCC in August 2025. After hearing that she was stressed and needed a break from kennel stress, we decided to break her out of the shelter and give her a safe place to crash until she finds her people! Silverbell is well-behaved, calm and enjoys lounging in sunny spots. She`s not super snuggly, but she`s been slowly coming out of her shell and showing more of her sweet purrsonality every day. She`s been a true sweetheart who just wants a comfy place to relax and spend her golden years! Because she is an older lady and prefers peace and quiet, she would do best in a home with no young children and likely no other pets. She did previously live in a home with a dog and cat and while she tolerated their presence, she did not interact with them at all or spend time around them. She may adjust ok to a home with another calm cat or calm dog with some time.If you or someone you know can offer her a soft bed, a little love, and a peaceful forever home, please reach out!Please email hsccfosterteam@gmail.com to be put in touch with her foster family!

Story
Cozy is in a foster home!A note from her foster:Cozy is a tiger striped, tabby kitten with white ascot, mittens, and “hip boots.” She is small for her age, but not at all shy. She gets along well with humans and likes to lick the noses of our other cats. Her current favorite activities are snuggling in available laps and chasing her sister Sparkle and our other cat Rusty. She has not been exposed to children or dogs, but is generally friendly and well-mannered.Please email hsccfosterteam@gmail.com to be put in touch with her foster family!

Story
Morticia is in a foster home!A note from her foster:Morticia is working hard on her social skills! She is not yet a snuggly kitten, but she is very treat motivated, and with some time, has allowed us to pick her up and handle without hissing and hiding. She appreciates it when people respect her boundaries. She enjoys to sit in the room with you and keep you company, she will sit on the couch or the bed with you, and is really starting to learn to like gentle pets. She is a very playful kitten and loves to chase the red dot. She is an excellent stink bug hunter and will alert you if there`s something in your house that does not belong. Treats are also one of her favorite things. When a treat is offered she will come close, but still does not want you to touch her. She gets a long well with the other kittens and the older cats in the house. She does not mind the dogs. She would be a great companion or playmate for a more loveable kitten. Probably not a good fit for younger children. Please email hsccfosterteam@gmail.com to be put in touch with her foster family!
