Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Annie, not more than a kitten herself at 16 months, was found homeless and caring for three tiny kittens in July of 2025. A volunteer foster for BHS took them in, socialized the kittens and found wonderful homes for all three. Unfortunately, Annie was terrified of people so, at the time, she was not deemed adoptable. Her foster mom feared that she would never learn to trust and therefore her future was uncertain. Would she need to be adopted as a “barn cat” or released where she was found to fend for herself the rest of her life? Then …. after many months, with time and patience, Annie has finally learned to trust her foster mom and dad. She no longer hides, but seeks affection. Annie remains skittish, but she has also learned to enjoy quiet time with her human companions. She loves to be pet and enjoys her treats (purring all the while). Because of the tremendous progress she has made, BHS believes she will, with time, become a wonderful pet for the right person. Annie will likely be very wary of a new person in her life, but because she has shown she has the capacity to trust and welcome human affection, we are sure that she will thrive in the right environment. Annie is a beautiful, young, healthy kitty with the sweetest little kitten face! She has been spayed, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and vaccinated. Annie seems to want to make friends with her foster’s big dog, so we believe she would be ok in a home with a canine companion. Annie's adoption fee is $125. If you have it in your heart to give Annie a chance at the safe, loving home she deserves, please visit our website at bhsva.org and fill out an application.
