Kittens and cats in Herndon, Virginia

Meet Aladdin  Aladdin is a handsome 5-year-old boy who was rescued by Fancy Cats Rescue Team after arriving at a shelter where his future was very uncertain. It's clear this sweet fellow had been fending for himself for a while—his adorable scruffy appearance and a few old scuffs tell the story of life on the streets. But those difficult days never took away what matters most: his incredibly loving heart.  From the moment you meet Aladdin, you'll discover that he's a world-class cuddler with an even bigger personality. This talkative boy loves carrying on conversations with his people and isn't shy about asking for attention. One of his favorite ways to let you know he'd like some love is with the gentlest little head bumps, followed by loud, rumbling purrs that begin almost the instant you start petting him.  Aladdin absolutely adores chin scratches, brushing sessions, and being fussed over. He'll happily curl up in your lap, soak up every bit of affection you have to offer, and reward you with nonstop purrs and loving gazes. If you're looking for a cat who truly enjoys being with his people, Aladdin is your guy.  Despite the challenges he has faced, Aladdin has remained playful, social, and full of life. He enjoys interactive toys, exploring his surroundings, and spending time with both his humans and his feline friends. He does well with other cats and would likely enjoy having a gentle companion to share his forever home.  While Aladdin loves people and other cats, he does seem to be fearful of dogs. Because of this, he would likely be happiest in a dog-free home where he can relax, feel secure, and let his affectionate personality truly shine.  Like many great cats, Aladdin is also a bit of a foodie! A bowl of wet food is one of the quickest ways to his heart, although he would never turn down a cuddle session or a good brushing either.  It's heartbreaking to think that this wonderful boy once found himself alone, but his past has never dimmed his ability to trust and love. Aladdin is grateful for his second chance and is ready to devote himself completely to a family who will never let him down again. Every head bump, every loud purr, and every cuddle is his way of saying, "I'm so happy you're here."  If you're searching for a sweet, affectionate companion who will chat with you, curl up in your lap, ask for chin scratches, and fill your home with purrs and unconditional love, Aladdin is ready to become your furr-ever best friend. This handsome, scruffy gentleman is waiting to share the next—and best—chapter of his life with you.  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 Glacier! Glacier is a cool little kitten with a big personality and an adventurous spirit. Full of energy and curiosity, he loves to run, jump, climb, and play with his siblings, Icy and Snowman. Whether he's scaling the tallest scratching post he can find or hiding nearby to surprise his brother and sister as they walk past, Glacier always finds a way to make life fun. This handsome boy has a slightly fluffier coat than his siblings, giving him an extra touch of charm. While he's usually on the move, Glacier is also discovering the joys of cuddle time. Once he's tired from a busy day of play, he's happy to settle down and enjoy some affection from his favorite people. Glacier especially loves head rubs and back scratches and will gladly soak up the attention. He's a confident, playful kitten who enjoys both adventure and companionship. Glacier gets along well with other cats, is comfortable around gentle dogs, and would do well in a home with respectful children ages 7 and up. Because he is such a social and active kitten, he would love a home with a playful feline friend-or even better, one of his siblings! If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate kitten who will keep you entertained and then curl up for pets when the day is done, Glacier may be the perfect addition to your family. It is Fancy Cats' policy to not adopt kittens singly unless there is another young and/or playful dog or cat in the home.

Meet Oso! Oso is a wonderful, playful boy who is looking for a forever family to call his own. Full of personality and charm, Oso's favorite things in life are chasing a ball, batting around a piece of string, and then settling down beside his favorite person for a well-earned cuddle. This handsome guy is incredibly social and loves to 'talk.' Oso is constantly trilling, chirping, and carrying on conversations with both humans and feline friends. If he's looking for attention or trying to convince someone to play, you'll definitely hear about it! Oso is an active cat who enjoys interactive play and would do best with a playful feline companion. Having spent part of his life outdoors, he can sometimes get a little enthusiastic during playtime, so he needs a confident cat friend who enjoys companionship and can set clear boundaries when needed. When Oso finds a buddy he clicks with, the two can entertain each other for hours. After an exciting play session, Oso appreciates having some quiet time to decompress before he's ready for more fun. He also loves the simple pleasures in life—stretching out in a sunny spot, exploring cardboard boxes, and curling up beside his people for a nap. Oso does not get along with dogs and would be happiest either as an only pet receiving plenty of attention or in a home with a compatible feline companion. Healthy, affectionate, and full of life, Oso is ready to leave his outdoor days behind and become someone's cherished lifelong companion. If you're looking for a playful, loving cat with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Oso may be the perfect match for you.

Hi! We're David Gahan and Martin Gore, two devoted brothers looking for a second chance together. We recently came back to the rescue through no fault of our own after a change in our family's health meant they could no longer care for us the same anymore. We're very bonded and must be adopted together. We'd be happiest in a quiet, calm home without children, where we can settle in at our own pace and enjoy a peaceful life. I'm David Gahan and am the shy brother. New people and loud noises can make me nervous, but with patience, my sweet personality shines through. While I prefer affection on my own terms, once I trust you, I'll enjoy gentle pets, occasional lap time, and showing off my impressive ribbon wand acrobatics. Temptations treats are the fastest way to win me over! My brother, Martin Gore is the outgoing and affectionate brother. He loves being picked up, purrs happily while being held, and isn't shy about giving a few loving licks in return. He's a gentle, laid-back boy who enjoys quietly batting at toys and comes running whenever he hears a bag of Temptations treats. We have already been through a lot, but with patience and love, we'll reward you with loyal companionship, quiet affection, and twice the love. If you're looking for two sweet souls to share your home, we would love to meet you.   Adoption fee $300/pair, includes: first 2 FVRCP vaccines, deworming, flea preventatives, sterilization, 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 Kofta  Kofta is a beautiful, gentle 3-year-old sweetheart whose life changed unexpectedly when her family had to move and could no longer keep her. Through no fault of her own, she lost the home she loved, and now she's hoping to find a forever family who will give her the stability, comfort, and love she deserves.  This lovely girl has a quiet soul and a heart full of love. She may be a little shy when first meeting new people or adjusting to a new home, but once she realizes she's safe, Kofta blossoms into one of the sweetest, most devoted companions you could ever hope to meet.  If you're looking for a professional lap warmer, Kofta is ready to apply for the job!  She absolutely adores curling up in your lap for long cuddle sessions and is happiest simply being close to her favorite person. She'll happily stay by your side, follow you from room to room, and remind you every day how comforting the love of a cat can be. Kofta also enjoys the quieter pleasures in life. You'll often find her relaxing in a sunny window, soaking up the warmth while watching the world go by, or melting into a blissful brushing session while you shower her with gentle affection.  Don't let her calm demeanor fool you—this sweet girl has a playful side too! She loves chasing her favorite toys and is especially proud of her fetch skills. Toss a toy across the room, and there's a good chance Kofta will bring it right back, ready for another round.  Kofta is also a bit of a foodie and isn't shy about reminding you when it's time for dinner!  Her adorable little reminders and loving personality are sure to keep a smile on your face. Because Kofta previously lived with another cat who bullied her, she would likely be happiest as the only cat in the home, where she can soak up all of the love and attention she deserves. She may also do well with a calm, older, gentle feline companion who will respect her quiet nature. A peaceful home will allow Kofta's affectionate personality to truly flourish.  Sweet, gentle, affectionate, and full of quiet charm, Kofta is the complete package. If you're searching for a loyal companion who will warm your lap, play a game of fetch, enjoy sunny afternoons by the window, and follow you wherever you go, Kofta is ready to become your furr-ever best friend.    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.
