Story
Dusty is an independent, outdoor-savvy cat who comes from a feral background and is best suited for a working-cat placement where they can live freely with minimal human interaction. Having spent their life outside and accustomed to caring for themselves, Dusty is not socialized to people and prefers to keep distance, though there is no known history of bites or scratches. Dusty will thrive in an environment such as a barn, stable, workshop, or rural property that can offer safe shelter, daily food and water, and the freedom to live on their own terms. In return, Dusty can help naturally manage rodents and become a dependable, low-maintenance member of your property.Be sure to check the `shelter information` box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R. Frey Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/adopt

Story
Lil` Mouse is an unsocialized, outdoor-experienced cat who has spent their life living outside and is best suited for a working-cat placement. Having lived among other feral cats on a property where they received food and water but little human interaction, Indigo prefers to keep distance and is not comfortable with handling. During intake, Lil` Mouse was fearful and avoided touch, which is expected for a cat with a feral background, but there is no known history of bite or scratch behavior. Lil` Mouse will thrive in an outdoor environment such as a barn, stable, workshop, or rural property where they can have safe shelter, regular food and water, and minimal expectations for social interaction. In the right setting, Lil` Mouse can help naturally manage rodents while settling into life as a hardworking member of your property.Be sure to check the `shelter information` box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R. Frey Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours!

Story
Jay is a very handsome young fellow we are thrilled to have in our rescue. He was found wandering around on a busy street looking for food. Thankfully a good Samaritan picked him up and brought him to a kind lady who contacted us. His medium to long hair coat was filthy and matted. His eyes were crusty. Jay is such a gentle soul. Loves people and all cats. Enjoys being groomed. Now that he is feeling better with good care and nutritious food he is starting to show his true colors. A wonderful cat. We would like for him to go to a home with another cat or dog. He enjoys the company. Fostered in Fairfax, VA

Story
Twana is a darling approximately 6 month old pure white little girl who has showed us how brave she is. She has crystal blue eyes. When we received Twana we did not know she was deaf. No wonder she was petrified of her new surroundings. She would not allow us to touch her. We have worked very hard with Twana and now she trusts people and loves to be gently brushed and petted. She will do anything for a good Churro. We would like to see Twana go to a home experienced with deaf cats. She will need patience at first to get used to her new environment but once she feels safe she will blossom. She loves other cats so she should go to a home with another feline.
