"Hello, we are Thelma and Louise, the mother and daughter duo up for adoption. We have had a couple of interactions with Caitlin, and they've gone positively. Please refrain from picking us up because we have a tendency to get jealous and fight with each other. We are nervous girls so we shake most of the time but will run up to you and ask for attention! If you think you are looking for two wonderful girls, check Thelma out here and Louise here!"

"I'm a somewhat active kitty who will ask for attention when I want it, but also know when it's time to lounge around and take a nap. When Caitlin reached out to pet me, I was confused at first. I didn't know how to react to the petting but quickly realized I liked it. Take me home here!"

"I hope the beautiful smile on my face will reel you in, but if it doesn't, my great personality will. I have a ton of energy so I need someone who can keep up with me and give me plenty of stimulation. I do respond to some basic commands but could use some help learning some more."

"If you are looking for an attention-seeking kitty who wants to be the only pet in the home, please come see me. I was brought to the Virginia Beach SPCA because the home I was in became too much for me, and I spent most of my time hiding. I have a really sweet personality and LOVE to be brushed. Please give me another chance, here!"

"Please don't let my gray face deter you from coming to see me—it will be worth it, I promise! I require an owner who is comfortable with training me on the leash and taking me in as an only pet. The staff says that I have a really great personality, love to snuggle, and will show you how affectionate I am. If I sound like the perfect pet, check me out here!"

"I have a combination of unique markings, colorings, and personality. I like to follow the staff around and help them read the 'about me' cards for myself and the other kitties. When you come to see me, make sure to set aside some time to give me some love and pets and I will be your best friend. Consider me here!"
