Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Mario is a sweet older guy, just looking for a comfortable lap to spend his golden years in. He's best buds with his brother Luigi, and relies on him for comfort and confidence. Mario and Luigi lived with a young person in their previous home, and while they were both perfect gentlemen, it was all just a little stressful and overwhelming for them. They would prefer a quiet home, where they can take their time settling in at a slower pace. Mario has also received a full dental cleaning, courtesy of the Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter, to help him feel his best for his new family. Come on in and take these two sweet old men home today!

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: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalshelter/adopt
