Story
Tabitha found herself pregnant and alone. A kind family took her in not knowing that she was about to give birth. They provided Tabitha and her kittens with food and shelter, but were unable to keep her as a pet. They reached out to the Bedford Humane Society and we found a foster home where all six were kept together and safe. During her stay, her foster mom has witnessed how a wonderful cat mama cares for her kittens, and how sweet and loving Tabitha is. She really only wants a home to call her own with people who will care for her and keep her safe…always. It’s so hard to imagine that Tabitha was not a loved pet because she harbors no ill will toward anyone she meets, showing only affection. Tabitha is extremely sweet and has a very laid back personality. She can sometimes be startled by noises and unexpected movements, which is totally understandable since she found herself scared and alone, instead of in a place where she thought someone would be there to protect her. Tabitha is a brown tabby and is estimated to be about 1-2 years old. She has tested negative for fiv/felv, received flea/tick treatment, and gotten her fvrcp and rabies vaccinations. She has been spayed and microchipped. All she needs now is someone who will give her the affection she so desperately craves and the loving home she deserves. Please consider sharing your heart and home with this beautiful girl. Tabitha’s adoption fee is just $100. For more information, please visit our website www.bhsva.org to fill out an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This cat's adoption fee is $75. Many cats do so much better in pairs, especially kittens, which is why we offer a reduced adoption fee of $25 for the second cat (or more!). We welcome applications from outside the Lynchburg area; just keep in mind that non-local adopters must wait till the cat is altered before taking it home.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/. The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care. Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy. We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter. CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract. CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it. May 31, 2025, 10:55 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.The Chain is a super confident, friendly little girl once she makes herself at home. She prefers not to be alone, so she'll definitely need at least one kitty companion; if you don't already have one for her, she'd love to be adopted with one of her buddies, Nomad or Firefly! Her adoption fee is $75. Many cats do so much better in pairs, especially kittens, which is why we offer a reduced adoption fee of $25 for the second cat (or more!).
