Oscar (& Felix) - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Do you often feel that petting just one cat at a time is a waste of two hands? Meet Oscar and Felix! Felix and Oscar are a bonded pair of brothers who balance each other perfectly. Felix is the fearless leader, first to explore new toys and spaces with enthusiasm. Oscar is the calm, gentle soul who watches thoughtfully before curling up next to you for quiet affection. Together, they’re the perfect blend of adventurous and soothing—they must be adopted as a team! Both Felix and Oscar have been generously provided with a free dental procedure, courtesy of the Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter, so they can go to their new home feeling their best. If you’ve got two free hands and an empty sofa, come in and meet these adorable senior gentlemen today!

This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 14-day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff!

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!

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: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/adopt
