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.

Hi there… I’m a one-year-old lady with a very classy look—soft black fur with a fancy white tuxedo that makes me look dressed up for every occasion. Not long ago I was living outside as a stray, which was a little scary, but some kind humans helped me, made sure I was safe, and even got me fixed so I’m ready for a healthy new life. Now all I really want is a cozy home to call my own. I’m still learning that people can be wonderful, so I may be a little shy at first—but once I feel safe, my sweet and gentle side comes out. If you’re looking for a beautiful little companion who will appreciate a warm bed, kind words, and a loving family, I might just be your girl. Please come visit me and take me home!!!!

Hi there… my name is Ennis, and I’m a 3-year-old orange and white long-haired gentleman looking for my forever home.

Jonesy
Hi there, I’m Jonesy — a one-year-old brown tabby with curious eyes and a heart that’s ready to belong to someone special. From the moment I wake up, I’m eager to explore, play, and make new friends (especially the human kind!). I love chasing toys, soaking up gentle pets, and curling up when it’s time to relax. I may be young, but I already know how wonderful it feels to be loved — now I just need a forever home where I can give all that love back. Could that be with you?
