Gina - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Arlington, Virginia

Gina's Personality

DOB: March 15, 2026

Gina is an adorable and unique girl. Only 20 percent of orange cats are female. This friendly girl doesn't have a care in the world. She is VERY playful and talks up a storm. Gina greets you with her meowing and likes to tell you about her day. When she's in a quieter mood, Gina is also very loving. She curls up in your lap or next to you to entice you to give her lots of affection.

Gina loves petting and interactive playtime. She actually NEEDS interactive playtime to burn off some of her kitten energy. She also responds well to battery operated interactive toys. It can be hard to sleep at night or take a nap with her by your side because she has a very loud purr! But once she falls asleep, Gina quiets down as she drifts off into kitten slumberland.

What Type of Home Gina Needs

Gina NEEDS a home with a young playful and rambunctious adult female cat buddy. She is very interested in playing with the other teenage kitty in her foster home - Lola. However, Gina and Lola were just introduced to each other and we need more time to determine if they are compatible life-long buddies. So far, Gina is a tad bit too rambunctious for Lola - but this could change with more time together. Gina is use to a home with a couple of adult cats who were ok with her rambunctiousness. Gina would also do great with OLDER kids (over about 12 years of age) who can play with her. No very young children since Gina can be a bit rambunctious. She also likes to get under your feet to greet you so she is learning these boundaries as well.

Gina came into our care from a loving family who could no longer care for her.PLEASE NOTE: we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.
