If you are looking for two young adults with a lot of spunk, these are the girls for you. Chestnut is a short hair dilute tortie. Her sister Dawn is a beautiful grey female. Dawn loves to explore and is very energetic. She likes playing with toy mice or watching out the window at the birds. She loves to find a spare lap to snuggle down for a nap or extra attention. One of her favorite things to do is find hidey holes and climb into boxes and anything she can get into. What a joy to watch this young lady play. Chestnut also an excellent explorer. She is a very independent female who likes to have your full attention, although she will share you with her sister. Chestnut will rub up against you and when she is on your lap, she will gently nudge her head against yours. She is a very active little girl and will let you know when she is done being held. Both girls are fine around the Golden Retriever in their foster home. They are both talkative but Chestnut will carry on a conversation with you or even herself. They would do best being adopted together. They are spayed, up to date on shots, tested neg. for FeLV/FIV/HW. These girls make an instant family and are ready to come to your house. They are not afraid of new people. Due to their personality it is recommended that they go to a home with experienced cat owners and no children under 10yrs.
Feline Network Rescue, Inc is an all volunteer, non profit 501C3 cat rescue organization located in Springfield/Fairfax, VA. It is run entirely by volunteers with no paid staff, and is dedicated to reducing the number of tame cats and potentially tame kittens living homeless in our community. We adopt out cats and kittens to residents of the DC metropolitan area only and do those adoption events at the Sterling , VA Petsmart and Wylie Wagg in Fairfax VA
We strongly advocate Trap, Neuter and Return programs for feral cats and as space and volunteers permit, take feral kittens into our foster care, have them vetted by our dedicated vets, socialize them and adopt them to lifetime homes.
We are a no kill rescue but cannot take in everyone's owner surrender due to our limited resourses of volunteers and funding. We wish we could!
We utilize foster home settings and are always looking for homes that will foster for us on a volunteer basis. We also have a "foster to adopt program" whereby someone interested in a specific cat can agree to foster that cat on a contingency trial basis if they are considering adoption of one or another.
Feline Network is always in need of volunteers. Positions include but are not limited to, foster homes, socializers, cage cleaners, transporters, marketing specialists, fund raisers, adoption event set up crews, admin assistants, web page development. Maybe you have an idea how you can help out based on prior volunteer experience or your regular vocational talents. IF interested in exploring what you can do, email Barb at cittypaw@aol.com. Volunteers are UNPAID, not because they are worthless, but because they are PRICELESS!!!.".
Ferals available for rodent control, feline ambiance, outdoor enhancement. Fully vetted cats are ready for us to transfer to your barn, winery, rural home. We deliver, set up and provide transition instructions. Cats must be guaranteed adequate shelter for the inclement weather, daily cat food and water
