Greetings! My name is Brewster and I'm a pretty and petite kitten who can't wait to find a family to call my own. They should share my love of snuggling and chasing after toy mice. Okay, I can handle the toy mice on my own. I hope that you'll consider adopting me today!

Me, me, me, me-owwwwww! Ahem, excuse me! My name is Moonraker and I'm the singing sensation of the Richmond SPCA. Okay, so that may be more of my opinion than actual fact but I do have quite the feline fan club. What I'm looking for is a chance to go out in this big world and find that special someone who will be my #1 fan. Won't you make my dreams come true?

Hi there, who are you? My name is Edge and I really hope you're my new family! Even though the people here at the Richmond SPCA are very nice, it's still not the same as having a home to call my own. Won't you please make me the happiest boy around by adopting me today?!

Story
Casper and Buddy are 2 of the 3 sibling cats I am fostering - 2 males and one female. Both males(gray and black) are neutered and best friends. They love to play and sleep next to each other so I prefer that they get adopted together. They used to sleep on my porch with their mom for at least a month where I brought out food and water for them. Then the mom just disappeared. They walked into my garage during the winter when they were about 6 or 7 months old. I trapped them and moved them into my basement. They have been there ever since. They were feral, very skittish and illusive. I tried to surrender them earlier to Animal Control and SPCA but they would not take them. They said they will be euthanized because they are not adoptable for being feral. So I kept them for several months and tried to get them get used to human interaction. Now they love being petted specially the boys. The girl is still a little shy. They are now 1 year old. Adoption fee: 50.00

Story
Buffy is the sweetest thing in the whole world, it breaks my heart that I can't keep her when I move. I fostered her at 6 weeks old and fell in love. Unfortunately, she started having seizures around 4 months old and has been diagnosed with epilepsy. She's been stable on her current meds for about a year and a half but she does occasionally have seizures and will require ongoing vet care. She has minor brain damage, so she's a little goofy (she drools when she's excited!) She loves new people, places, and chill pets immediately, but can't get along with my other young cat. She doesn't understand cat play and gets anxious and upset when he pounces, so after trying everything in the book I've had to keep them in separate rooms. She overgrooms from anxiety so her tummy is balding. I've barely been able to manage them separated while living alone, and now that I have to move in with a roommate it just won't be feasible to care for her well. She deserves more time and love.

Story
Jag is a really sweet cat. He enjoys quiet homes and getting lots of play time. He does not like loud noises and is easily frightened. He has had issues going outside the litter box but mostly because our household causes him a lot of stress (new child). He has not been adjusting and I would love for him to be with someone that can treat him like the precious baby he is. I just can’t anymore - please help me. I’ve had him for 6 years and he has always been aggressive (sexual) towards our female cat. It’s causing too much strain.

Story
We found this sweet boy outside our apartment complex, which is right off a major highway. He came up and immediately showed belly/wanted some love. We managed to get him to RACC were they found no microchip. We decided to house him in our bathroom, it’s been two weeks. We don’t know his health status so have had to quarantine him from our personal cat. We didn’t have intentions on keeping him but no shelter/rescue has stepped forward to claim him. We obviously weren’t gonna leave him in the cold. Behavior wise, he’s very gentle and not food aggressive. He likes to play and adores human interaction. We just want this sweetie to find a good home where he can settle down.
