Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Don't be fooled by Kimaris' adorable face and sweet tabby stripes. This girl is smarter than the guys who robbed the Louve and has more energy than the entire US Women's soccer team. If there's mischief to get into, a mess to make, a problem to un-solve, she'll be there. While in foster, her adorable cuddles were always tempered by thumping up and down the stairs, and loud crashes from the other room. After a few days of getting-to-know-you, she got along well with the adult cats in the home, and thoroughly enjoyed playing chase and wrestling, and tolerated getting bathed afterward. If you feel like your life is just a little too quiet, come and adopt Kimaris today!
