Butter - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Meet Butter, a 2-year-old grey tabby with a gentle, independent spirit!
Butter can be shy at first and may need time to adjust to new surroundings. With patience and space, he begins to feel more comfortable and show his true personality. He enjoys being near his people, often sitting close by and quietly keeping you company. He would do best in a calm, predictable home with an adopter who respects his boundaries.
If you’re looking for a quiet companion and are willing to give him time to settle in, Butter could be a wonderful match.

Be sure to check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R. Frey Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/adopt
