American Shorthair kittens & cats in Charlottesville, Virginia

Sometimes life surprises you with the sweetest gifts. Momma Wasabi came to us heavily pregnant, her belly round and her eyes full of curiosity and love. Soon after arriving, she gave birth to a litter of tiny little dumplings we named after all things sushi. One by one, her babies showed us just how fragile life can be, but one precious little girl, Sticky Rice, stayed with us….a spark of joy and resilience from the very start. Through it all, Wasabi showed her incredible heart, and my children got to hold her, love her, and fill her days with laughter and comfort. Together, we watched her grow stronger and more confident every day. Sticky Rice has blossomed into a playful, curious, and affectionate little girl, while Wasabi has become the most gentle, nurturing, and wise mama you could imagine. Soon these two sweet souls will be ready to find the perfect homes where they will be celebrated and cherished. Whether together or in separate families, they deserve a life full of love, play, snuggles, and happy adventures. Wasabi and Sticky Rice remind us how beautiful life can be when we open our hearts and celebrate the little moments. Whoever welcomes them will gain a pair of extraordinary companions who bring joy, love, and laughter every single day. If you think you might be the family for Wasabi or Sticky Rice, please apply on our website. These two are ready to bring happiness into a forever home. At the time you are seeing this post, this cat is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application if you are interested in any of our animals. The application can be found at https://greendogsunleashed.org. If you send an inquiry to ask if the cat is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: We will email you if additional information is needed, so please keep an eye on your inbox and spam folders. */*/* Young kittens will receive age-appropriate vaccines and will be spayed/neutered before adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional boosters and a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing, and healthcare are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. Please note you must submit an application, be approved, and submit a refundable hold deposit before a meet and greet will be scheduled. You can fill out an application here: https://greendogsunleashed.org/adopt While we do allow out-of-state adoptions, the adopter must be able to travel to Charlottesville, Virginia, and meet in person at an agreed-upon time to take their cat home. GDU does ask for a minimum adoption donation of $125.00 for cats. This minimum donation does not cover all expenses as we are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum donation includes age-appropriate vaccines and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying if the animal is medically sound and is unable to undergo surgery. This minimum donation does not even begin to cover each animal's expenses while in rescue, but does go directly towards vet care for our rescue animals. ##2487993##

Alle was adopted by me in Charlottesville 3/24 with a listed birth date 2/13/23. After adoption I found that she had been transferred from the SPCA in Covington, VA. I contacted them and learned that she was found in a home with a kitten by a Realtor in Nov 23. The kitten was at some point adopted. The paperwork indicates that she had been adopted and returned one time. I have 45 years of cat experience but she is the first adult that I adopted. She was hand shy and quick to grab with her teeth. It was 10 months before she got into my lap and went to sleep. She has turned into a wonderful little girl. She has learned to live with a cat experienced dog but it would be best, imo, for her to be an only pet w/o young children. She is very easy to handle. I pick her twice a day,she gets on my lap frequently, gives boops and a chirper She is an indoor/outdoor cat, still plays with her toys, uses the litter box when necessary, and her scratch post and pads w/o using the furniture.

Lila is a sweet, snuggly, playful tuxedo cat who loves to sit in a window and watch the birds and squirrels all day. She enjoys jumping around boxes or chasing a toy across the floor. I've had her for 3 years and have watched her grow into a big snugglebug when she used to be more timid! She loves to be close by her person and follows me around from the moment I wake up to the minute I am in bed at night. She even sits in my lap as I read or work! Unfortunately, she just does not get along with my two other cats. Lila is bigger than they are, so her playing can get faster and rougher. She loves lots of attention and affection and wants to be the center of it all.

Lucky found us last July. He was ferel and patrolled our property for a month, I was able to trap him, he is neutered and vaccinated, and in great health. He now loves attention, and is a great little spirited cat. Vet estimates a year and a half old. We are selling our home and we cannot take him with us, my husband is allergic, and he needs to be an indoor kitty for at least a few months so he will not try and return to the property. Love him to pieces, needs a patient loving person.

Loving, 4 year old, indoor/outdoor, lap cat. Litter-trained. Spayed. Current with vaccinations. Loves to be brushed and is a good fetcher! Affectionate, snuggly, and a sweet and happy purrer. Thrives in a loving and quieter environment.

We adopted sweet Luna at the Rockingham SPCA and we love her dearly however it has become too much responsibility on me as a single parent and I want her to have the best life and someone who can spend more time with her. She gets along with our dogs great and kids. I feel she would prefer a calmer space with no dogs.

🌙 Meet Bay! 🌙 Bay is a distinguished senior gentleman with a sleek black coat and a heart full of love. While he prefers to be the only cat in the home (he enjoys having his kingdom to himself), Bay has more than enough affection to give his people. He’s incredibly cuddly, happiest when he’s soaking up attention, curling into your lap, or purring contentedly by your side. Bay is also FIV+ (feline immunodeficiency virus positive). This simply means his immune system is a little weaker than other cats, but with good care and a loving home, he can live a long, happy life. He’s looking for a quiet, caring home where he can spend his golden years being cherished. If you’re hoping for a loyal, affectionate companion who will be your shadow and snuggle buddy, Bay may be the perfect match. Give this sweet senior the cozy forever home he deserves—you’ll be rewarded with endless love. 💕🐾 Bay is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of his vaccinations. You can meet him at the CASPCA between the hours of 12 and 6 PM daily, no appointment necessary. If you have any additional questions, please email adoptions@caspca.org.
