Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Herndon, Virginia

Meet Splice!
✠̈

Splice is a breathtakingly beautiful teenage black kitten whose super soft midnight fur, enormous golden eyes, and boundless curiosity make her one of the most captivating young cats you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. They say black cats bring good luck — and one look at Splice will convince you that is absolutely and completely true.

Her Look

Splice is simply stunning. Her:

Sleek, super soft black fur that is honestly impossible not to want to touch
✠̈ Big, luminous golden eyes that seem to take in absolutely everything around her
Perfectly elegant teenage energy wrapped up in one irresistible midnight package

This girl is not just beautiful — she is striking in the most unforgettable way.

Her Personality ✠̈

Splice approaches every single day like it is the greatest adventure she has ever been on — because honestly, for her, it probably is. She is:

Wildly curious — absolutely nothing escapes those magnificent golden eyes
âš¡ Playfully energetic — always moving, always exploring, always discovering something new
Delightfully mischievous — just enough to keep life interesting and your days endlessly entertaining
Warm and loving — beneath all that playful energy lives a genuinely sweet and affectionate soul
Full of joy — the kind of kitten whose happiness is completely contagious

Her Favorite Things

When Splice is not busy being absolutely gorgeous and taking stock of everything around her you can find her:

Chasing toys with the focus and dedication of a seasoned hunter
Pouncing on imaginary friends — her inner world is rich, vast, and endlessly entertaining
Perched at her favorite window watching birds flutter by with intense golden eyed fascination
Discovering new corners of her world because everything is worth investigating at least twice
Being irresistibly soft and cuddly when the adventuring is done for the day

Her Social Side

Splice is as well rounded socially as she is personally:

âœ... Gets along great with other cats — a wonderful addition to a multi cat household
âœ... Litter box trained — already ahead of the game
âœ... Endlessly adaptable and curious about the world around her
âœ... Ready to bring her signature magic and mischief to any home lucky enough to have her

The Black Cat Magic

Let us talk about something important for a moment. Black cats are among the most overlooked and least adopted cats in shelters — and that is a truth that simply needs to change. Because black cats like Splice are:

✠̈ Absolutely stunning in ways that photographs can never fully capture
Legendarily lucky — and Splice is living breathing proof of that
Just as loving, playful, and magical as any other cat — arguably more so
Uniquely beautiful with their sleek dark fur and glowing eyes that seem lit from within

Splice is not just a black cat. She is the black cat. The one who will make you wonder why you ever hesitated for even a single second.

Her Ideal Home

Splice would absolutely thrive in a home that offers:

Windows with a view for her beloved bird watching sessions
Other cats to socialize and play with — she loves feline company
Plenty of toys and enrichment to satisfy that glorious curious mind
A family or person with a good sense of humor who appreciates a little daily mischief
Love and patience as she grows from a mischievous teenager into the magnificent cat she is becoming

Why Splice? ✠̈

Splice will fill your home with laughter, love, curiosity, and just the right amount of chaos. She will watch your birds, chase your toys, pounce on absolutely nothing at 2am, and curl up against you with that impossibly soft fur at the end of the day like she has belonged with you all along.

She is your good luck charm. Your tiny midnight adventure. Your golden eyed girl who will make every single day a little more magical than the one before.

"People say black cats bring good luck — and Splice is absolutely, undeniably, perfectly proof of that."

✠̈ Splice is ready for her forever home — and something tells us your luck is about to change in the most wonderful way.
