18. Zoey and Ellie
Adult (8 years 8 months) · Female · Domestic Medium Hair · 35 mi from Roanoke





Zoey and Ellie are CVRR alumni who are currently living with their owner. CVRR is listing these cats as a COURTESY to the actual owner. They are not currently in the care of CVRR, and CVRR makes no representations or guarantees for its behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed has been given by the cat's current owner and should be verified by any interested potential adopter.
Ellie and Zoey are sweet 8-year-old sisters who have spent their lives together, and we're hoping to find a special home where they can stay that way.
Although they're sisters, these two beautiful gray tabbies each have a personality all her own.
Read more about Zoey and Ellie
Ellie is the more outgoing of the pair. She's a short-haired, light gray tabby who enjoys attention and is usually the first to venture out and say hello once visitors arrive. She loves being petted—and she'll even roll over and invite you to rub her belly! Ellie is sweet, affectionate, and happy to soak up some love from her people.
Zoey is Ellie's long-haired sister, a gorgeous dark gray tabby with adorable white feet. She's the more cautious of the two and likes to take her time deciding that a new person is safe. She may hide when someone new arrives, but patience is the key to this sweet girl's heart. Once she's comfortable, Zoey enjoys being petted and brushed and has a gentle, loving nature.
Together, Ellie and Zoey enjoy a pretty peaceful lifestyle. They're indoor-only, litter trained, and perfectly content spending much of their day napping, with a little playtime sprinkled in. They've successfully lived with a dog in the past and can also do well with other cats who aren't aggressive.
Most importantly, Ellie and Zoey have been together since they were adopted through CVRR in 2018. After eight years side by side, we would very much like to find a home where these sisters can remain together.
For someone willing to give Zoey a little time to settle in, you'll get the best of both worlds: Ellie's welcoming sweetness and Zoey's quietly earned affection. And you'll have the joy of knowing that two sisters who have always had one another get to stay together for the next chapter of their lives.

24. Gray Mama
Adult (8 years 5 months) · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 35 mi from Roanoke




What if the best years of her life are still waiting for her?
Meet Grey Mama.
For years, she quietly survived outside as part of a small colony of just five cats. She was trapped, spayed through TNR in 2019, and returned to the only life she had ever known.
Recently, Grey Mama had to have one of her eyes removed. But something unexpected happened during her recovery...
She fell in love with being an indoor cat. ❤️
Instead of wanting to go back outside, she has embraced the comfort, safety, and love of a home. She's an absolute LOVE BUG who wants nothing more than to be close to her people.
Read more about Gray Mama
She's estimated to be 8–10 years old, and during surgery we discovered she doesn't have many teeth! That's why her little tongue is always sticking out. We always thought her adorable "blep" was just part of her personality. Now we know it's one more thing that makes her uniquely perfect.
Grey Mama has spent so much of her life simply surviving. We'd love for the rest of her life to be about living! Soft beds, gentle hands, full bowls, and knowing what it feels like to truly belong.
Could you be the one to give this sweet one-eyed girl the happily-ever-after she has waited so many years for?
Please message us if you'd like to learn more or think you might be the family Grey Mama has been waiting for. Even if you can't adopt, sharing her story could be the reason she gets the second chance she deserves. ❤️

25. Mr Pibb
Kitten (4 months 26 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 47 mi from Roanoke


Mr. Pibbs is the spunkiest little guy on the block! He is a tiny little man, but what he lacks for in size he makes up for in personality. Crinkle stuffies are his favorite to bunny kick, and he absolutely adores chasing a spring! He isn’t too sure about being picked up, but with a little bit of patience and a whole lot of practice, he is certain to be persuaded!
Mr. Pibb is VERY cat social and would strongly prefer a home with a feline sibling (or more than one!). He has been exposed to an obnoxious puppy (from behind a baby gate for their safety) and could care less, so would probably be suitable for a home with respectful, cat-savvy dogs.

Kitten (4 months 26 days) · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 47 mi from Roanoke


His brother, Dr. Pepper, is the sun to Mr. Pibbs’ moon. Dr. Pepper has never met a stranger, and he doesn’t plan to! Like his brother, Dr. Pepper can be found zooming around after his foster siblings most evenings. However, Dr. Pepper also enjoys snuggles—his foster mom says he is the snuggliest kitten she has ever encountered! From being worn like a scarf to snuggling up on your chest, Dr. Pepper is sure to keep you warm this fall season!

Adopting a cat with children in Roanoke
Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.
Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
