Lina (& Willow Tree) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Meet Lina — A Gentle, Quiet Soul Bonded to Her Sister Willow
Lina is a 1year -old black-and-white sweetheart with a calm, peaceful personality. She has lived her entire life with her sister, Willow, and the two are deeply bonded—so they’re looking for a home together.
Lina can be shy at first, especially in new environments, but once she feels secure she becomes a gentle, affectionate companion who enjoys soft pets and quiet company. She does well with children, loves playing with other cats, and finds comfort spending time with Willow. When she feels overwhelmed, Lina prefers to retreat to a cozy spot to reset, and she warms back up quickly.
She’s not a fan of being picked up and would thrive in a quiet, patient home that can help her adjust at her own pace.

If you’re looking for a gentle pair of bonded sisters who will blossom with love and patience, Lina and Willow might be the perfect match!

These two are a bonded pair who can’t imagine life without each other, so they’ll need to be adopted together. To help make that happen, only one adoption fee applies!

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 https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/adopt
