Kittens and cats in Herndon, Virginia

Hi, I’m Fire Breather (affectionately called Calli by her foster family)!  If you’re looking for a kitten who will keep you laughing, fill your days with adventure, and sprinkle in plenty of affection, I might just be your girl! I’m a gorgeous gray tabby with a BIG personality and energy to spare. I’m a bold explorer, a playful little firecracker, and a professional entertainer who believes life is one big adventure waiting to happen! I even helped show my foster kitty friend that being an indoor kitten isn’t so bad after all. Someone had to lead the way, right? I’m also a social butterfly who loves making new friends! I’ve been enjoying supervised adventures around my foster home, where I’ve been getting to know two small dogs and a very distinguished, nearly 13-year-old resident kitty. The dogs are pretty fun, and I love to play with them! The older gentleman, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to appreciate my enthusiastic invitations to play. I just can’t understand why he doesn’t want to wrestle when I walk up and give him a little playful nibble! I’m still learning that not everyone has the same energy level I do. Beneath all that kitten mischief is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being part of the action. I’ll keep you entertained with my curious antics, make you smile with my fearless personality, and reward you with the joy of watching me discover the world around me. I’d love a home that appreciates my playful spirit, gives me plenty of opportunities to burn off my kitten energy, and welcomes my affectionate, outgoing nature. A playful feline friend or a dog who enjoys an enthusiastic kitten companion could be a wonderful match for me, with proper introductions, of course! I can’t wait to find my forever family and make your home my next great adventure.   It is Fancy Cats’ policy to not adopt kittens singly without another young and/or playful dog or cat in the home.

Hi, I’m Sunny Side Up, but my friends call me Sonny (or Sonny Honey)!  I’m a sweet, gentle little guy with a curious heart and a softer, more reserved side. I may not be the first kitten to rush into every new adventure, but give me a little time and patience, and you’ll get to see something wonderful: my confidence growing, my playful side emerging, and my lovely personality shining brighter every day. One of the best things that’s happened to me is meeting my foster kitty friend, Calli! She’s been showing me that this whole indoor-kitten thing really isn’t so shabby after all. With her encouragement, I’ve been coming out of my shell and discovering just how much fun life can be. Sometimes, having a friend to show you the ropes makes all the difference!  I’m now enjoying supervised adventures around my foster home, where I’m getting used to living alongside two small dogs and a nearly 13-year-old resident cat. Everyone is coexisting pretty well, and I’m learning more about the big, busy world around me at my own pace. I’m the kind of kitten who reminds you that the sweetest things are worth waiting for. Watching me grow from a shy, cautious boy into a more confident, playful little companion has been such a joy. With a loving home, a little understanding, and plenty of time to settle in, I have so much more of my wonderful self to share. Could your home be the sunny spot where I finally blossom? If you have room in your heart for a gentle boy who just needs someone to believe in him, I’d love the chance to meet you. I promise, having a little Sonny Honey in your life could make every day a little brighter!    It is Fancy Cats’ policy to not adopt kittens singly without another young and/or playful dog or cat in the home.

Queensby is an adorable black-and-white tuxedo kitten born in May 2026, who was rescued as an abandoned kitten in Washington County, Virginia. This little girl may still be learning to fully trust people, but she is already showing everyone just how much love and personality she has packed into her tiny frame!  Queensby is affectionate, cuddly, sweet, and incredibly playful. She is full of curiosity and energy, loves attention, and isn't shy about letting her people know when it's time to play! Automated toys and laser play are some of her favorite ways to have fun, and her curious nature means she's always ready to explore and discover something new. She enjoys cuddles and spending time with her favorite people, keeping everyone entertained with her playful antics.  Queensby has also had a wonderful start in learning about friendship with canine companions! She was initially buddies with a dog in the home where she stayed after being rescued. With proper introductions, she may do well with a gentle, cat-friendly dog.  Queensby would love to find a home with a young feline playmate! She would be especially happy to be adopted with her littermate, Moira, so the two sisters can grow up together and share all the fun, comfort, and companionship of having a familiar feline best friend. While adopting the girls together would be wonderful, it is not required. Queensby would also thrive with another young cat or kitten who can keep up with her playful energy, engage in fun-filled adventures, and help her continue building confidence. Having a feline friend to play, wrestle, and snuggle with would be a great addition to her new life!  Queensby is a tiny girl with a BIG personality!

Whether she finds her forever home with Moira or another young feline friend, this sweet, curious, and cuddly little girl is ready to fill her new family's life with playfulness, affection, and plenty of purrs.

Meet Piper – A Sweet Little Tabby with a Gentle Heart Piper is a handsome 4-month-old gray and black tabby boy who may be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him some time and you'll discover a sweet, playful kitten who is learning all about the joys of being a cat. One thing that really sets Piper apart is how wonderfully he handles new environments. He has been an absolute star at the veterinarian's office—even though it's a very busy, noisy practice filled with people, conversations, barking dogs, and constant activity. Piper takes it all in stride, which tells us he has a wonderful, adaptable nature underneath that initial shyness. At home, Piper enjoys playing with his toys and is learning the finer points of feather-and-bell-on-a-stick play. His siblings have been excellent teachers! His sister Pipa likes to pounce on him and encourage him to play, and Piper is a very good sport and happy playmate. Piper is also accustomed to living with a dog and several other cats. He's used to people coming and going, talking to the cats, and giving them attention throughout the day and night. He loves watching the world from a sunny spot, keeping an eye on the birds outside, and—like most kittens—has a special appreciation for boxes. Give him a cardboard box and a window with a view, and he's a happy boy! Because Piper is young and enjoys feline companionship, he'd love to go to a home with another kitten around his age or be adopted with one or two of his siblings. Having a playful feline friend will help him continue to build confidence while giving him someone to chase, wrestle, nap beside, and grow up with. If you're looking for a gentle, adaptable kitten who is just beginning to discover his personality, Piper could be the perfect addition to your family. With a little patience, love, and a feline friend by his side, this sweet boy is sure to blossom into a wonderful companion.   Adoption fee $200, includes: first 2 FVRCP vaccines, deworming, flea preventatives, sterilized, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Meet Penny! A Sweet Tabby Looking for Love! Beautiful Penny is a lovely brown tabby girl who deserves a chance to discover what it means to be truly cherished. Sadly, Penny has experienced a life where food seems to have taken the place of the time, attention, and affection every cat needs. As a result, she's carrying some extra weight and could really use a healthier lifestyle with more activity, playtime, and a little less dry food. But Penny has so much more to offer than her adorable, cuddly figure! She's a sweet, affectionate girl who loves people and gets along with other cats. She enjoys sitting in your lap, soaking up attention, and being brushed. Penny is a good girl who wants nothing more than to be part of a family that makes her feel safe, loved, and special. Her ideal home will be one where she gets plenty of companionship, gentle encouragement to play and exercise, and appropriately portioned meals to help her reach a healthier weight. With interactive toys, cozy cuddle sessions, and lots of love, Penny can begin a wonderful new chapter. Penny has spent enough time without the attention she deserves. Now it's her turn to have someone who will make time for her, enjoy her company, and show her every day how much she matters. Could you be the person who gives Penny the loving home she's been missing? She's ready to trade a life of neglect for a lifetime of lap time, brushing, feline friendships, and all the love her heart can hold.

Amber is an absolutely stunning black-orange-white calico kitten with a beautiful patchwork coat that perfectly matches her sweet personality. Like many calicos, she has just the right mix of curiosity, charm, and a little bit of caution when exploring new things. She is soft, sweet, gentle, and quiet. Amber enjoys playing with toys and investigating her surroundings at her own pace, often pausing to observe before joining in the fun. Once she feels comfortable, her playful side shines through, and she delights in chasing toys and spending time with the people she trusts. Because of her gentle nature, Amber would thrive in a calm, loving home where her confidence can continue to grow. She would do well with children of any age who understand how to be gentle and respectful with a young kitten. If you're looking for a beautiful calico girl with a sweet heart, a quiet presence, and just a touch of that classic calico charm, Amber may be the perfect addition to your family.   Adoption fee $200, includes: first 2 FVRCP vaccines, deworming, flea preventatives, sterilized, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.
