Meet Angel and her son, Gabriel! They originally came to us 5 years ago from death row, were adopted and now are being returned, through no fault of their own.

Through absolutely no fault of their own, they are being returned to rescue and are officially searching for a fresh start.Here is a little glimpse into their fun-filled daily routine: The Olympic Games: Don't let their regal looks fool you; these two love a good game of tag, leapfrog, and chasing each other around the house!

Polite Dining: They are excellent communicators and will chat with each other to take turns at the food bowl.

Angel can be a little aloof and independent at times, but she will melt your heart when she leans in for sweet nose kisses.The Ideal Forever Home:They are looking for a low-activity, quiet environment. They would do wonderfully with a senior, a single person, a couple, or a family with children over 12 years old (no young kids, please).The Perks & Vetting: Bonus: Their former adopters are generously sending them off with a 6-month supply of meals from Chewy.com! Health: Both are fully vetted—spayed/neutered, up-to-date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, combo-tested negative, and microchipped with a lifetime registration.

We found Oscar (the Grouch) and four of his baby friends Oscar, Abby, Zoe, and Snuffleupagus at the local waste transfer station. They were hiding under industrial trash compactors.

Bingo is high energy and doesn't appreciate being held, because how can you run around and play while being held?! When she decides it's time for her human to get attention, she will jump up on their shoulder and give a kiss or two. Bingo loves chasing the laser pointer, the wand toy, and her brothers. She is litterbox trained and has done well with her foster's toddler, but would likely do best with older kids who respect her space and don't want to pick her up all the time. Bingo would also likely do well with another playful cat in the home since she prefers kitty playmates over human playmates.

Why adopt an adult cat in Harrisonburg
An adult cat's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are used to family life.
Grown cats are calmer and need less supervision than kittens, which suits people who work long hours or have young children.
