Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia
SQUISHY
Domestic Short Hair
🇺🇸
Fairfax, Virginia
May 9th
female, small, adult
DESCRIPTION
Meet Squishy, a sweet brown and black tabby with a shy but gentle personality. Squishy may take a little time to warm up, especially when new people come around, and she sometimes prefers to hide until she feels safe. But with patience and kindness, her softer side quickly starts to shine through.
Squishy enjoys being petted once she’s comfortable, and she has a playful streak that comes out when her favorite toys are around—springs and pompoms are her absolute go-tos. Watching her bat around her toys is a great reminder of how much joy she has to share once she feels at ease.
If you’re looking for a tender, playful companion who just needs a little time and understanding to feel at home, Squishy may be the perfect match.
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/animalshelter/adopt
