Miracle - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Meet Miracle – a gentle soul looking for her fresh start! Miracle is a beautiful 3-year-old female tabby with a story that truly lives up to her name. She originally came to us through one of our rescue partners after surviving a very rough beginning—she had been wounded by both a human and another cat, yet she never lost her sweet spirit. With time, consistency, and a calm environment, Miracle has every chance to thrive. Miracle would likely do best as the only cat in a quiet, peaceful household where she can feel safe and simply enjoy being a cat. She is gentle, loving in her own soft way, and truly wants to bond—she just needs someone who can meet her where she is and help her blossom.
If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference in the life of a resilient, tender-hearted kitty, Miracle may be the companion you’ve been waiting for.

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
