Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Marvelous Momma Maisie is waiting for you! After a long motherhood journey in foster care raising her rambunctious brood of six, Ms. Maisie is looking for a home where she can live her glamorous single life. And by "single", Maisie really does mean "single"! She is not a fan of other cats, and would prefer to be the solo queen of your castle. Maisie has a tendency to communicate with her mouth when she gets overexcited, so a family of older children or adults who are well versed in cat behavior would be perfect for her. If that sounds like you, come on in and meet Ms. Maisie today!

If you'd like to meet our available pets, please 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
