Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Meet Luna – The Quiet Soul Ready for Her Next Chapter
Luna is a beautiful tabby who’s hoping her next home will be calm, cozy, and full of understanding. Her previous owner described her as an "introvert," and it suits her perfectly. Luna isn’t the type to rush into new situations—she prefers to take her time, observe, and slowly build trust at her own pace. She may start out shy, but once she decides you’re her person, Luna becomes wonderfully engaging. She’ll show you her sweet side, her gentle charm, and her thoughtful, affectionate nature. She’s the kind of cat who forms deep bonds and appreciates a peaceful environment with low noise, soft voices, and calm energy. If you’re looking for a companion who will blossom with patience and reward you with quiet loyalty, Luna might be the perfect match. Come meet this lovely girl and help her start her next chapter—one filled with comfort, kindness, and a life that suits her gentle heart.

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).
