Georgina Domestic Short Hair Culpeper, VA

All our cats are adopted as inside only cats. We do not adopt single kittens, unless you already have another playful cat or you can adopt another kitten/cat from us or another rescue!

The lovely Georgina with the devastatingly gorgeous eyes, at about 1 year old she is one of the most regal, opinionated, and funniest (not intentionally) cats we have known. We love these black torties, never-endingly interesting, we are constantly noting fur markings for the first time; she has 2 delicate orange spots on each side of her nose…like an insect or ?. Georgina is not just royalty, she’s descended from royalty and she takes Egyptian history very seriously. Which is one reason that she is accidently hilarious to us! She will breach no excuses; late bringing dinner – you’ll get the side eye, LOVES her brushing, but you do just a little too long or too much and WHAM, she’ll bop you one (NOT LIKE THAT!). Then punish you by ignoring you the rest of the day, yeah, it was that serious a breach. Surprisingly she is still nice to her kids, grooming or letting them suckle on her…usually momma’s want OUT, but then again, she’s taking care of princesses. Great momma. She does have her silly side, just pop a tube of Churos and she is a freaky kitten! She is very politely friendly and strangely affectionate with her ‘people’…she will nuzzle the foster’s hair and her neck, rub up against her legs, lay next to her and purrrrrrrr…yes, you can pick her up, but it had better be for a purpose because she isn’t overly fond of it. Rides well in the car. Hard to say how she would do with other cats and dogs because she has her kittens with her and she was very protective…but so far we are gonna go out on a limb here and say she hates dogs, not fond of other cats. We are suggesting just giving her all the attention, although she likes her own kittens, and we really want her to go with Freckles, they are frequently seen together...Freckles is particularly dependent on her mother. Together they would make great companions. But she’s just fine soaking up all the loves and pets. Kids; older kids would be best. She has rules. Quiet, calm, seemingly easy-going (as long as you obey)…Georgina and Freckles would make a wonderful companions for someone wanting beautiful décor pieces, some laughs and constant friends.

All our kitties are fully vetted; spayed/neutered, FeLV/FIV tested, utd on rabies, distemper vax, dewormed, deflead and microchipped.

If you are interested in meeting these kittens please submit an application by clicking this link; https://www.culpeperhumane.org/adoptions/application/

Once submitted, the vet reference you provided will be contacted (if no vet, please provide 3 personal references, may be family and friends if they have a cat that you interact with), and our Director of Adoptions will schedule a phone interview with you. If approved, you will be contacted by our Foster Coordinator for a (virtual) home visit. If approved, the foster parent is notified to contact you to discuss the kitten(s) and arrange the logistics for a visit. If both parties are committed to moving forward with an adoption, the foster parent is empowered to do same day adoption. Our rescue group does not have a brick and mortar facility, all our animals are home fostered in our foster volunteer’s homes. You will be visiting a private residence. The application does not oblige you to adopt, nor does the visitation; the application gives us more information to help ensure an appropriate, suitable and good match.

Not first come, first served, but the best possible match made.

Our policy is that we always take our animals back should it prove to be a less than perfect match, or if you are unable or unwilling to care for the animal any longer. We just don't want the animal to go back into the system. It is also our policy NOT to adopt to families with intact dogs or cats (unless there is a medical reason for not doing so). This is an effort to educate and support our national spay/neuter efforts to reduce the unwanted pet population.

We DO adopt to DC residents, parts of Maryland and Virginia. Occasionally we will adopt far from our epi-center, but will request your local humane society to do a home visit for us and act as our safety net.

Thank you for considering an unwanted and abandoned kitty, and being part of the rescue efforts.
