Mars

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! Mars is a friendly, feisty, playful wee 11 week old (as of 6/17) male kitten with a big personality. Finally starting to grow into his floppy ears, Mars was the smallest of the litter but the first to wean. He has a lovely thick charcoal grey coat and is just as cute as he can be! Mars loves to play, eat, nap and repeat. He is brave and curious, always the first of his litter (siblings; Phobos and Deimos) to venture forth and investigate new places and things. Very affectionate (of course, when he is NOT playing) and loves to cuddle. He is the comedian of the troupe and keeps everyone laughing at his antics. You may find cuter kittens, but his personality is what makes him unique. Mars’ perfect home is where he is an integral part of the family, gets lots of attention and playtime, enjoys good food, comfy naps and loads of loving. 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.
