Kittens and cats in Arlington, Virginia

Champ's Personality Meet Champ...a playful, affectionate, talkative brown tabby with golden eyes! What’s not to fall in love with? Be prepared for a kitty who follows you around and plops down next to you. Not to worry...if you are wondering where he has wandered off to in your home, just call his name and he's back to you in an instant.  Champ loves being around people - he greets you when you come home and even says hello to your guests! He loves being petted and showing you his belly. Champ also thrives on interactive playtime - especially chasing string toys, carrying little balls around in his mouth, and batting toys around. He snuggles with you in bed at night and is good about sleeping through most of the night. What Type of Home Champ Needs Champ needs a home where he gets plenty of people time. He's a young playful male cat who needs stimulation...interactive play, brushing, and ongoing interaction. He's social, playful and full of personality - an ideal companion for people who want an engaging cat. We haven't seen him interact with kids but he would likely do fine with kids who know how to interact with cats (about 8 years of age or older). We also think Champ would thrive in a home with another young playful male cat. He had a few brief interactions with the older cats in his first foster home with the woman who rescued him from outdoors. Her cats are elderly and not receptive to other cats...but Champ was persistent in wanting to interact with them. Where Champ Came From Champ was a stray kitty found outdoors crying for food and affection. Although he ran right up to the woman who found him, he was also very scared and would hide after eating or hearing a loud noise. He clearly didn't belong outdoors. Now safely indoors, with all of his vetting completed, he's a happy boy loving a good indoor-only life.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.

Nova’s Personality Meet Nova...a beautiful, affectionate, playful, and chatty girl who just wants to be close to her humans. Need a bodyguard for the bathroom? She's got you covered! Nova even checks in after you take a shower just to make sure you're okay. This sweet fluffy girl loves to cuddle up in your lap with a cozy blanket and may even curl her paws to hold your hand while she snoozes. She just wants to be your little shadow. Nova also loves playing with her humans. She chases after a laser, leaps to the highest heights to catch a tossed fluffy ball, and loves tackling feathered wand toys. She enjoys lots of petting and even being brushed for short periods. But mostly, she just wants to curl up close by, knowing you will keep her safe. What Type of Home Nova Needs Nova needs a quieter home without other pets or young children - now or in the future. An older child in a quiet home would be fine if the child knows how to interact with cats. She needs to have a stable, loving home that will give her a little time to adapt. Nova may be shy at first with new people, but she quickly warms up to a peaceful, loving home environment. Where Nova Came From Nova was recently adopted from a shelter by a kind woman who has given her a loving home. However, her resident cat has decided he doesn’t want another cat in their home. To give Nova the right home environment, SPCA has agreed to find Nova a new home that gives her the peace and stability she needs to thrive. Nova was in her original home since she was a kitten until her family added two other cats, a dog and two children to their home. When Nova didn't adapt well to these changes, they surrendered her to a shelter. 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.

&#239&#187&#191&#239&#187&#191Celeste's Personality  Celeste may remind you of a pup the way she wants to sniff your hand before letting you pet her. It’s probably to see if you have a treat for her! When you’re sleeping, she may crawl up on your pillow to lull you to sleep with her purrs. And she purrs a lot. Very loud and very often. Celeste is happiest when she is chasing her laser pointer, taking a nap in the sun shining through a window, or hanging out with her foster parents. This chunky charmer likes to be close by and follows you from room to room. This “heavenly” girl is super sweet. She is also a bit shy and will take a little time to warm up, but once she does, Celeste is a delightfully soft mush of a cat. Then she’ll be looking for pets as she sits on top of her cat tree. And give her a bit of catnip and she’ll be rolling over for a bunch of belly rubs. We love her sassy way of telling us what she wants. This girl is a talker…when she wants something, she will let you know. It’s all friendly talk, and very hard to resist. We find that she also likes to watch a little TV…so far tennis has been her favorite! She’ll perk up and watch the TV screen from next to you on the couch or her cat tree. It’s really cute. Between the catnip, the treats and her tree, she happily spends the day with you. Keeping an eye on your comings and goings. You’ll enjoy her gentle and endearing company. What Type of Home Celeste Needs  Celeste needs a peaceful home with an experienced cat caretaker who understands that she may need a little time to adapt. She was initially pretty reserved in her foster home but has completely come out of her shell. Celeste would be fine with an older cat-savvy child who understands how to be around cats. Celeste spent most of her life with her sister, Nova. They didn't, however, interact much with each other and now that Nova has been adopted, Celeste is actually happier and more outgoing. So she needs to be the only cat in your home. Celeste came into our care very overweight. She has made great progress losing weight and will need to stay on a very strict calorie and portion-controlled over-the-counter diet (mostly canned food). Her caretakers need to be committed to sticking with her strict weight management plan with monthly weight checks to monitor progress. We will supply a pet scale to keep her on track. Where Celeste Came From  Celeste, and her sister, Nova (adopted), were adopted out as kittens to what we thought was a wonderful home. Sadly, their caretakers decided, just shy of their 8th birthdays, they didn’t want them anymore. However, based on their neglectful condition, this has turned out to be a good thing even though this upheaval has been hard on Celeste. Both girls appear healthy despite being very overweight. Getting the girls to a healthy weight of about 12 lbs each will take time but will ensure better health and longer lives. 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.

Meet Prince, the royal companion you've been waiting for! This friendly, gentle, and affectionate cat loves nothing more than to be wherever you are-whether it's lounging on your lap or keeping a watchful eye from his favorite spot on his cat tree. When he's not supervising from up high, Prince is always up for a play session, especially with his favorite catnip-filled toys. Because of his social nature, he's looking for someone who spends time at home (and therefore with him!). Prince has heart disease that is currently being managed with daily medication, and will require a patient and proactive adopter to help monitor his condition. If you're looking for a sweet, attention-loving buddy who will be your constant shadow, Prince is your perfect match! Come take your Prince home today.

Meet Sushi. She's a former super-mom turned professional cuddle bug! After raising her five kittens, Sushi is ready to retire into a life of naps, toys, and being spoiled. She’s playful, affectionate, loves chasing toys, and is an expert snuggler. Equal parts zoomies and snoozies, Sushi is sweet, friendly, and ready to steal your heart (and your couch). Sushi and Tiny are bonded and must be adopted together. To learn more about how to adopt Sushi, please fill out an adoption application (https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LDAC/Cat) or email questions to cat.adoptions@lostdogrescue.org.

Meet Imogen, a beautiful, vocal companion! Imogen is the epitome of a lap cat! While she prefers to be picked up on her own terms, she loves to cuddle on laps or next to her favorite people. Imogen will quickly become your best friend, taking every opportunity she can to curl up in your lap, cuddle up next to you, and sleep by your side all night long. Imogen loves to look out windows and play with her toys. Imogen will make all kinds of trills, purrs, and meows, and no sounds are cuter! She will shower you with affection, attention, and love! Since Imogen loves to be the center of attention, she would probably do best in a quiet home environment where the owner was home most of the day and she would be the only cat. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will always be by your side, meet Imogen! To apply to adopt Imogen, fill out an adoption application (https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LDAC/Cat) or email questions to cat.adoptions@lostdogrescue.org.
