American Shorthair kittens & cats in Orange, Virginia

Wave has been with me since he was a tiny kitten. He is now 6 years old, and we have been through everything together college, moving to new cities, and finally coming back home to Virginia. He has been a loyal companion. When he was young, I adopted another kitten, and over the years Wave has shown that he really prefers to be the only pet in a home. He can become stressed and territorial around other cats, and despite years of trying different methods, it is clear that he is happiest when he has his person all to himself. He deserves a home where he doesnt have to feel overwhelmed or compete for attention. Wave loves attention, enjoys being nearby, and thrives when he can bond closely with his owner. He would do best with someone who can give him time, love, and a calm environment without other pets. Rehoming him is a very emotional decision, but I want him to be peaceful

Roger is a very sweet boy. He loves taking long naps to recharge for his next cuddle session. He’s very affectionate with humans, and acclimated to other cats and dogs as well.

Once a brave mama cat, Saffron was found as a pregnant stray, and though she loves the safety and comfort of indoor living, she still enjoys a bit of outdoor adventure. A perfect day for Saffron involves basking in a sunny window or exploring a safe backyard before curling up on a cozy bed for a nap. Saffron loves being the center of attention and prefers to be the one and only cat in her home—after all, every queen deserves her own castle! If you're looking for a loyal, independent, and loving companion who enjoys a mix of indoor comfort and outdoor fun, Saffron might just be the purr-fect match. ?

This is Max! I’m not sure her age, but the vet estimates about 12. She came to us 3 years ago from a family friend and has been with us since. She is best as a single cat only house, because she really does not get along or like other cats or dogs. She is very sweet to humans and likes to cuddle but does not like other animals in her space. We are hoping to rehome her to someone who can give her her own space as we have 3 other pets in our house and she doesn’t seem to be adjusting well to that (even after 3 years). Free to a good home. On a separate note, she did have an ear hematoma in January of this year so her ear is permanently shriveled (in the last 2 pictures). Still just as cute.

Donna is gorgeous and she loves a good conversation! She makes great eye contact, and listens carefully. She wants to please, and she's not a cat to ignore you or pretend she doesn't care. She cares! Donna will bond with you and see you as her protector and friend. She enjoys being petted and given attention.  She was assaulted by a cat years ago and is still wary. She has a private room here and we would like her to be an only cat or to have lots of space and her own eating area.     We want to make adopting easy for you! Here’s our application:   https://rappcats.org/adoptions/ Once you complete it, we’re on it! We’ll call your vet (or personal reference) the next business day. Then we like to do a brief video chat (FaceTime if you have it) so you can show us your new pet’s home - where they’ll sleep, eat, and play. During our chat, we can also give you tips or answer questions about how to successfully integrate your new family member into your household, especially if you have other pets. Our adoption fee is $150 and covers our costs of spay/neuter, vaccinations, vet exam, and supplies. (Once old enough, all our cats are current on their shots and have been spayed/neutered.) We’re a strictly no-kill shelter just for cats. We’re cage-free, donation-based, and volunteer-powered. We’re small but special and we’re glad you found us! For more info don’t hesitate to call or text us at 540-987-6050 or email us at adopt@rappcats.org.      October 16, 2025, 9:59 pm
