Story
Violin is about 4 years old and sports a stunning tortoiseshell coat that perfectly matches her bold personality. Violin loves attention—especially pets. All visitors should be aware that petting her is mandatory. No exceptions. She’s more than happy to sleep at the end of the bed so she can collect her morning pets the moment her humans wake up. She could coexist with another cat in the home, but kittens are a hard no. In Violin’s professional opinion, any furball under four pounds is deeply annoying and deserving of nothing but contempt. Don’t even think about trying to sneak a kitten past her—her foster family can confirm that Violin has an impressive internal “cat age radar” and knows exactly when another cat meets her four-pound requirement. Violin believes in positive reinforcement for humans. When her name is called, she rewards her people by rolling onto her back and placing a paw dramatically over her face. It’s impossible not to fall in love. Interested in learning more or adopting Violin? Fill out a no-obligation cat adoption application, and the humans who work for her (also known as HSLC volunteers) will take it from there. The application can be found at: https://humaneloudoun.org/adopt/cat-adoption-application/ Thanks to a generous sponsor, Violin’s adoption fee is waived! She is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.

Story
Born in March 2025, Joni is equal parts playful spirit and independent thinker — she definitely marches to the beat of her own drum. Joni loves to chase toys, wrestle with her foster buddy Cash (her “brother from another mother”), and explore her world with confidence and curiosity. While she and Cash aren’t bonded, they’re great friends and would love to find a home together — or separately, as long as there’s another playful feline companion to keep her company. Joni is looking for an adopter who appreciates a cat with personality — someone who will celebrate her independent streak while giving her the love, playtime, and space she needs to shine. If you’re looking for a confident, one-of-a-kind kitten with a flair for fun, Joni might just be your perfect match!

Story
My name is Abby, and I would like to introduce you to my fabulous, I mean FABULOUS self. I am a gorgeous 9-year-old supermodel looking for a new family to fawn over me. Once you see how gorgeous I am (just ask my foster mom, she seriously will not stop taking pictures of me!) I am sure you will understand why I would love a family of my own without other cats (or dogs, um, EEW!). Because let’s face it, no other cat can compare to me! I am a reserved girl and super low maintenance. I love hanging out in my cat cave but most any hidey hole will do! I also enjoy spending time with my foster mom; she gives excellent belly rubs! I don’t really play with toys. I am far too mature for that nonsense. The only thing I REALLY ask for is a big litter box. The bigger the better! Go big or go home I always say! Oh wait, I do ask for one more thing. I have a little bit of a sensitive tummy, but my foster mom has discovered that I do really well on fish. All fish all the time. Ideally tuna. But I can’t have tuna every meal, a girl has to live a little! And well, I AM a cat after all. Please submit an application for me right now. I can’t wait to meet you! https://humaneloudoun.org/adopt/cat-adoption-application/

Story
Hi there, I’m Cola—a spunky little tuxedo girl, about 10 months old, with a heart full of love and a spirit that never quits. I was found living in a barn, and at first, my finder and foster mom thought something might be wrong with my eyes. They were right—sort of! An eye specialist confirmed that while I can see changes in light, I can’t really see shapes. But you’d never guess that if you watched me zoom after toys, leap up on the couch, or make a beeline for my food dish. I’ve got everything figured out in my own special way, and I don’t let anything slow me down. I'm not special needs—but I am something really special. I’ll greet you with my sweet meows, purr like a little engine, and love you with my whole heart. I just need someone kind and patient who’ll let me shine. Because I can’t quite keep tabs on other cats around me, I’d prefer to be your one and only fur baby. I can’t watch my back—but I’ll always have yours. Will you be my person? All of our cats are in foster homes. Please submit an application to start the process today! https://humaneloudoun.org/adopt/adoption-application/

Jerry's Story Jerry – Handsome, Snuggly, and Full of Love 🐾 Don’t let the name fool you—This one-year-old sweetheart is as loving as he is handsome! Jerry absolutely adores attention and snuggles. He’ll happily curl up with you and tuck his head into the crook of your arm, soaking up all the affection he can get. He’s an easygoing, gentle kitty who has never hissed or swatted—just a truly friendly, people-loving cat. He’s still discovering the joys of playtime. While he’s just starting to follow the laser pointer and occasionally bats around a toy mouse, it’s clear he’s catching on and will only grow more playful as he gains confidence and experience. Jerry is also a big fan of mealtime—he loves to eat and never says no to treats! When he’s not snuggling or snacking, you can often find him enjoying his daily dose of “cat TV,” watching the world go by. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who will happily be your cuddle buddy, Jerry might just be your perfect match. 💕 Fill out a no-obligation cat adoption application today at https://humaneloudoun.org/adopt/cat-adoption-application/

Meow meow is a great cat. He would do best to be an only cat or potentially with a cat that does well with other cats. He is playful, loves the wand toys but will also play by himself. He loves to be high in his tall perches. When given time, he is a cuddler and will reward you with some happy contented drool. Meow does have a history of asthma which is currently managed with 1 puff of Flovent daily. He is trained to take his medicine with 1 treat after his puff. He is so good with medicine it’s amazing!
