We are unsure how he would do with other cats.A local Hampton Roads home only.We’re running out of time, and we truly don’t want Bowie to experience another last-minute move or uncertainty. He deserves the chance to finally settle into a home where he can feel safe, loved, and never have to start over again.If you can help Bowie, or know someone who can, please message Magpie & Daisy’s Pet Rescue today.

Adopting a cat in Sussex County

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
