Adoptable Cats
Call the shelter at (804) 580-6156 for questions about adoption and available pets. Please leave your name, phone number and a message if there is no answer. You may also contact the shelter by e-mail at [email protected]
This page is dedicated to all of the cats waiting for their forever homes. Their vaccinations are current. If they have not been spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, you'll receive a certificate for spaying/neutering (generously provided by the Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck). If you have questions about adoptable pets, call the Shelter at (804) 580-6156.
Additionally, we now have a new, easy, and exciting way to make a donation on behalf of the dogs and cats at our Shelter. Both Amazon and Chewy now have a Gift Registry specifically created for the Northumberland County Animal Shelter. These are items that are needed for both dogs and cats which will enhance their living conditions, health, and overall enjoyment while residing in our Shelter.
It is VERY simple to use. Simply click on the Donate thru Amazon button or the Donate thru Chewy button at the top of the page and begin shopping. Select the items you wish to give to the Shelter. It's that easy!! We will modify this Gift Registry from time to time as animal needs change.

Christine
Hi My name is Christine and I was a wandering stray until a nice lady rescued me and took me to the Shelter. I ended up being fostered for several weeks and that was such a great experience as I got the attention I needed along with great food and a home environment. I'm back at the Shelter now and in need of my forever home. It would be so nice to find that permanent home before Christmas. Would you consider giving a loving young cat a chance to steal your heart? Please come visit me and let's find out. Waiting for you…..

Hi! My name is Heidi
I was a stray kitten wandering when I was picked up and got lucky enough to be fostered by lovely people. I’m now at the Shelter and am having fun fitting in with the other kitties. I get compliments on my big green eyes which I hope will be the snag that will make you want to come meet me and let me convince you that I’m the one to take home. I am very affectionate and loving and I will be a wonderful companion to you and your family. Please give me that chance. Thanks, Love Heidi

Sheila
Hi! My name is Sheila. My Shelter volunteers describe me as ‘sweet as sugar’ and I’m twice as nice! I have soft little paws and I want to touch you on your arm to get your attention in hopes you’ll not stop petting me. Not all of my shelter kitty mates are best friends yet as some of them are a little rough, but I’m holding my own. Please come visit as see what a sleek black beauty I am. I need my forever home and I’d really like to be home with you by Thanksgiving!! Please call soon…….

Miller
Hi, I'm Miller! I've just moved from a cozy foster home to this big, bustling shelter. It's a whole new world with so many friends to meet. I love playing tag with the other kittens and curling up for naps in the sunniest spots. I'm learning all sorts of fun tricks and can't wait to show off my 'sit' and 'paw' skills. I dream of finding a forever family who loves cuddles and playtime as much as I do. If you're looking for a playful, loving companion, I'm your kitten! Let's make wonderful memories together.

Frolic
Hello, I'm Frolic. My days are filled with joy and curiosity. I'm young at heart, always eager to explore my surroundings. I'm brave, too, never shying away from new experiences. I love to play, to chase, to pounce - it's how I express my zest for life. I'm also sweet, always ready to share a purr or a gentle nuzzle. But my world is small, confined to the shelter. I dream of a home where I can fully express my playful, brave, sweet nature. Adopt me, and let's frolic through life together.
