But it’s her personality that truly shines: Sweetly Social: She enjoys companionship but at her own gentle pace. Affectionate Heart: Lolo’s soft purrs and biscuit-making sessions are her love language. Calm & Curious: While she’s not super playful yet, she watches the world with thoughtful interest. Gets Along Well: So far, she’s done wonderfully with other cats and is being fostered alongside dogs and small children. Her interactions with them have been limited, but every sign points to her being able to integrate smoothly into a variety of homes. 💖 Who She’s Looking For Lolo would thrive in a loving household that appreciates a gentle companion. She’s not demanding — she simply wants a safe place, kind humans, and space to show her affectionate side at her own pace. She has so much love to give, and she gives it softly. 🏡 Ready to Come Home Lolo is fully vetted and ready to settle in with her forever family. If you’ve been dreaming of a calm, loving, elegant feline friend, Lolo may be the perfect match. Bring home this sweet globe-trotting girl and let her soft purrs fill your days.

Adam and Julia are two gorgeous Persians. Julia is the momma to Adam. This mother/son duo came from the streets. The worse part of this is they are blind through no fault of their own. Their kitty ophthalmologist examined them and said it was a genetic condition. Julia is a very sweet 3 to 4 year old buff colored girl. She is more on the petite side. Loves attention and to be petted and brushed. Adam, her son, is larger in size than his momma. He is buff and white. Adam is shy. He loves to be petted and kissed on his head but will need time to adjust which is natural considering his handicap. We would love to adopt them out together. Home should be quiet and not too many steps. Please open your heart to this lovely pair of Persians. Who rescued who… ** We would love a foster home for them to allow them to stretch their legs. ** Fostered in Fairfax, VA

Trafil is a handsome young male kitty found roaming the busy streets. A lady out shopping took him home until a rescue could be found. He has that gorgeous charcoal grey coat that is unusual. Trafil is a lovely sweet friendly cat. He was obviously owned at one time. He likes to be petted and brushed. He gets along well with other cats. We would like to see him adopted into a home with another pet so he can play and interact and have fun. He has not been tested on dogs or kids but should be fine. Fostered in Fairfax, VA.

Oscar is a gorgeous male flat faced Persian. He has that adorable tiny nose and big round eyes. He was badly treated by a mentally ill person. Thank God a rescuer removed Oscar from that home. He is very very sweet. He loves human attention and gets along fine with other cats. Oscar is calm like most Persians. We want Oscar to be adopted into a home experienced with Persian cats due to the care and maintenance this breed requires. Fostered in Fairfax, VA.

Shakira is a stunning long haired, brown tabby, young lady we are thrilled to have with us. She was rescued from the mean streets as a stray. We think she is about 2 to 3 years old. Shakira is adapting to her foster home so her true colors have yet come out but she is as sweet as pie. Loves to be petted and doted on. She is getting along well with her new foster feline friends. We would like to see Shakira in a home that is experienced with long haired cats. Grooming is necessary for cats like Shakira. Fostered in Fairfax, VA
