Meet Alexus, an absolutely gorgeous white and black, female about 2 years old. This beauty keeps her fur in pristine condition! She and her 3 kittens were found staying close to a house in a rural area of Culpeper. Alexus, risked her life protecting them from a predator, and was found one day coming out of the woods, limping, swollen-faced, and bloodied. She constantly moved her babies to keep them safe. First to they all lived in a lawn mower bag, (Yes! You read right!) then she moved them up to a car engine. The kind lady living in the house trapped all of them and brought them to safety. Alexus' Violet Socialization Scale 4-5/10 Alexus has free roam of the cat playroom, but is skittish, and afraid to be touched. She loves climbing on the cat climber and looking out the window at nature, loves her canned food, is fabulous in the litter box, and gets along great with the other cats. Like all cats in the Shrinking Violets, Alexus needs an indoor only, quiet, low activity home with either no children or children over the age of 15 to blossom. We have not had a Violet yet that didn't absolutely flourish in a quiet home and become an awesome member of the family. It just takes patience. Alexus currently rates a 4-5/10 on our socialization scale, with 10 being a purrfect house cat, and is beginning to be interested in people. Alexus is spayed, has had her 1st set of rabies and distemper vaccines, and has tested negative for feline leukemia. Please give Lynn at call at 540-825-3744 or email GoodMews22@aol.com for more information on this beautiful girl. **Special Needs listed only due to socialization skills.** You can read more about Violets at our website.

Meet Anika! Anika is a beautifully marked tabby cat, about 4-5 months old who came to us with her family from the kill shelter. She is playful and affectionate and is ready to find her new home.She loves to play with her brother, Alexei (a Russian Blue). Both were sick with a bad cold and one eye of each kitten remains slightly closed. They are healthy and our vet tells us they are ready to be adopted. We would love for them to go together, but it is not necessary - both will be fine on their own. Anika would do well in a home with cat-friendly children over the age of 8 or 9, with no loud noises and low activity. She has had her 2 FVRCP vaccines, been dewormed, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration. Interested? Email us at GoodMews22@aol.com show less

Bashful is a beautiful short haired, gray and white cat, about 4 years old. She came to us awhile ago when she was pregnant with kittens, Her kittens have long been adopted, and now we are hoping that someone will adopt Bashful, too. Bashful was born to a feral mom, living in the woods on someone's rural property. She and her sister, Ghost (also available) often came to the porch to be fed and were used to being around people. Bashful has been with us for a few years. She is a Violet, meaning she does not like to be touched. (You can read more about Violets here: https://www.forgottenfelinesculpeper.org/violets) As you probably know by her name, she is bashful and likes to stay in the background, Once she knows you, she is comfortable being very close to you and may trust you enough to pet her head. She enjoys canned food every morning and loves looking out at the birds every day on her climber. She is great in the litterbox. We believe that once Bashful is in a quiet home, she will blossom. She will need a quiet home with no children or teenage-aged kids, that is low activity. She must be an indoor only cat. Bashful will be spayed, receive a rabies and distemper vaccine, be tested negative for FIV, feline leukemia, and heartworm. If you are a patient and loving person and have room in your heart and home for this girl, please email GoodMews22@aol.com show less

Meet the handsome Bentley, just over a year old, handsome white and gray Agean tabby. Bentley came to us on the Freedom Ride in January 2019. We were told the vet was coming that day to euthanize the cats that other rescues had not chosen, and poor Bentley was among them. His shelter picture (below). devestated me. He looked as though he had given up any hope of ever getting out. He KNEW his fate. He, like his best bud, Stripes, is the King of the House. He is the ladies man with swagger, the cats' meow, if you will. All the cat ladies love Bentley, as he is a groomer and a charmer...until he isn't. It is then that you will hear, "Meeeeooooowwww!" and Bentley and his partner in crime, Stripes will come roaring around the corner, with at least 3 lady cats chasing him. Bentley and Stripes are bonded and must be adopted together. There is a discount for adopting both. You are truly missing out, if you don't welcome these two into your home. You will never be bored or lonely during quarantine again! They will keep you amused and laughing. GoodMews22@aol.com Bentley is dewormed, neutered, received his distemper vaccine, rabies vaccine, and tested negative for feline leukemia, FIV, and heartworm. He is microchipped with a lifetime registration.  show less

Meet Chloe Jo! Chloe Jo is a gray tabby about 1-2 years old. She found herself on a high-kill euthanasia list and we scooped her up. The night before she was supposed to come to us, I looked at her photo again and asked the shelter volunteer, "Are you sure she isn't pregnant?" Sure enough, Chloe Jo gave birth that night to 6 kittens (Curly Sue, Forrester, Levi, Colton, and Cody, and one passed), so it would be a week before she and her new family made the trip to us and came into our care. Chloe was a good mom and was very protective. Her babies never wanted for anything. Now they are grown and each is finding their own home, and it is Chloe Jo's turn. As with most moms who come from a bad situation with their kittens, we are waiting for Chloe Jo to loose her "mama bear persona" and just be Chloe. Once she is spayed, she will relax a bit and we will get to see her true personality. For now, she is still protecting her babies and is a bit "hands-off," so we are giving her her space. :0) Chloe Jo will be spayed, has received an FVRCP vaccine, a rabies vaccine, tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration, meaning you won't need to pay $20+ every year to re-register her chip.

Meet Fisher! Fisher s a dark orange colored tabby, just 4 1/2 months old. He and his siblings, Dune, Cricket, JuneBug, and Tadpole were literally dumped at the county dump as though they were trash. Thank goodness someone found them. Unfortunately, they brought them to a high-kill shelter that was over-capacity and they were immediately slated for death. Forgotten Felines of Culpeper jumped in to save them and they came to us on the Freedom Ride on July 8th. These poor babies were thin and sickly but are all better now. Every single kitten in the litter is a purr machine, loving, playful, and sweet. Fisher is no exception. His purrfect home would be just about any home, he would need to be adopted with a sibling or another kitten, and he must be an indoor only cat. Fisher can sometimes be a bit of a loner. He is the first one to escape the room, but instantly regrets his decision and tries to get back into the room with his siblings, often crying to be with them. However, he will elude capture til the last possible minute before allowing you to get him and place him back with his siblings. He is a character, but he has a strong family bond with them, probably because of all they have been through together. Fisher is neutered, had 2 distemper vaccines, a rabies vaccine, tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration - you won't need to pay every year to re-register her.

Meet Gertrude! She is a beautiful black kitten with adorable white paws, chest, and whiskers. She is about 12 weeks old (as of Jan. 2nd)  and has a sweet purrsonality!  Gertrude was found all alone by a Good Samaritan near the catholic church in Culpeper in the late fall, just as it was getting cold. When she was brought into foster care, she was very frightened and skittish. She would hide in the corner and cringe when anyone came near her. Not anymore! She now loves to be pet and loves affection. She is like a different kitten, playing with the others, coming up for attention, and sitting on a lap to be pet for as long as you will have her. She is very sweet, playful and soft. Her last littermate is about to be adopted and we would hate to have her left behind. Please consider her as a wonderful addition to your home Gertrude's purrfect home would be a semi-quieter home with cat-friendly kids over the age of 5 years old. She gets a long with other cats, but probably not dogs. She would probably do best in a home that had at least one other cat as long as they were not dominant and was playful.   Gertrude has been dewormed, had 2 FVRCP vaccines, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration - no more paying over $20 to re-register every year!

Meet Isa! Isa is a beautiful 3  year old torti with colors of black, tan, and cream. She was named after Dora the Explorer's lizard, Isa and was surrendered by her owners last year when she became pregnant and they could no longer afford to keep her. She was the mom of kittens Paisley, Paris, Jet, Grady, and Grant. Isa has a very quirky personality. She always wants to be near you; she always wants to eat what you're eating; and always wants to be doing what you're doing, and will sleep on your lap while you are watching tv.. LOL. She is just.that.way. She needs to be in the middle of everything. She is a lovebug (though not a cuddler), and will curl up on your lap while you're watching TV and go to sleep. Her personality lends itself to a loyal companion. She is very affectionate and loves attention, literally **racing** to meet you at the door and "talking" to you. She will follow you around the room, and when you go inside a room and close the door, if she can't quickly squeeze through the door, she will meow to you as if to say, "Hey! Are you coming out soon? I miss you," put her paws under the door and meow every now and then so you don't forget she is out there. (As if!!) She will definitely keep you laughing. Isa gets along with other cats, but will hiss to put them in their place, if needed. Isa's purrfect home is a quiet, low activity home with teenage children or no children at all, as at times (1x in over a year) she has been known to nip gently. Isa is spayed, up to date on rabies and distemper vaccines, tested negative for FIV, feline leukema, and heartworm, and microchipped with a lifetime registration.Please contact us to meet Isa at GoodMews22@aol.com.  show less

Meet Kate! Katie is a short-haired black and white tuxedo. We are told that Kate was the "mascot" at the local woman's shelter. She would mingle with residents and would brighten their day.One day, the shelter was shocked to see her show up with 5 kittens and gave us a call and they came into our care. Kate was a sweet and loving mama not only to her three kittens but to three other kittens she took in as her own. She has a loving personality and, as her babies have grown up, has become a little more playful. Kate is not the biggest fan of dogs and other cats but when she is alone with her human friends, she is loving and purring away! Kate is spayed, received an FVRCP vaccine, a rabies vaccine, tested negative for feline leukemia, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration. Interested?

Meet Oreo! Oreo is a 3 old, spunky little girl who came to us from a high kill shelter as a kitten. She is a black and white tuxedo - a tomboy  who loves to jump out and surprise her cat friends, playful, super sweet, and a silly sense of humor - like when she chooses the highest part of the stairs banister and decides to balance  aka lounge on it so carefree! She loves to be as high as she can get, at times, sitting on top of the kitchen cabinets. She gets along great with other cats. Oreo has been with us for some 2+ years, and is still waiting for her forever home to find her. She can be a little timid until you get to know her, but once she feels comfortable, what a sweet cat she is. Oreo needs to be an indoor only cat. She needs a low activity, quieter home with older, cat-friendly kids. Oreo is spayed, had her distemper vaccine her rabies vaccine, tested negative for FIV, feline leukemia, and heartworm, and is microchipped.
