Tabby kittens & cats in Fairfax, Virginia

Darcy and Atticus were adopted at 9 months in December, 2024 from Patriot Pawsabilities. The two male tabbies are a strongly bonded pair, now just over 2 years old, and should be adopted together. The boys have been neutered, microchipped, have had regular vet care, including all up-to-date vaccinations. Both cats are easygoing & affectionate, love to wrestle & chase each other play with strings & small chew toys, and are indoor cats. The boys are about 12 pounds, will sit on laps or nestle close to their human companions preferring to be close to them whenever possible. Darcy is very outgoing, Atticus a bit shy, but neither cat ever bites or scratches people. They have big appetites, so food should be monitored. Atticus has stomatitis, an autoimmune challenge, requiring the removal of all his teeth, so he must always be on a hydrolyzed protein diet...which Darcy eats, as well. Adoptive parents should PLEASE take the boys together, because they have been bonded since birth.

🧡 Meet Beckett – Your New Best Friend! 🧡 If you've been dreaming of a cat who greets you at the door, follows you from room to room, and makes every day a little brighter, Beckett may be the perfect match.

Beckett loves people and isn't shy about showing it—he'll happily seek out attention, lean into head rubs and ear scratches, and make you feel like the center of his world.

He enjoys exploring new spaces, chasing toys, and then settling in nearby for quality time with his favorite humans.

I need to rehome my sweet Chester. We are currently moving and they don’t accept pets. He is the sweetest lovable cat. Like to stay barrel in the little hole or a little space somewhere or bathing in the sun. He is a declawed cat.

Dusty is an independent, outdoor-savvy cat who comes from a feral background and is best suited for a working-cat placement where they can live freely with minimal human interaction. Having spent their life outside and accustomed to caring for themselves, Dusty is not socialized to people and prefers to keep distance, though there is no known history of bites or scratches. Dusty will thrive in an environment such as a barn, stable, workshop, or rural property that can offer safe shelter, daily food and water, and the freedom to live on their own terms. In return, Dusty can help naturally manage rodents and become a dependable, low-maintenance member of your property.Be sure to check the `shelter information` box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R.
