Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Figgy Pudding is an 8-year-old tabby with a gentle heart and a calm, comforting presence. Quiet, friendly, and easy to love, she’s the kind of cat who brings peace just by being in the room. Figgy isn’t demanding—she simply hopes for a soft place to nap, a kind hand to greet her, and a home where she can finally settle in and feel safe. This lovely girl is ready for the simple joys of a loving, steady home... and she’ll give that love right back.
