"Hi, I'm Patch! I'm only two months old but am already rambunctious and utterly adorable! When Caitlin arrived at the shelter, I was napping and was too tired to say hello. Once I finally woke up from my nap, I showed her my 'pawesome' personality. I'm sweet, playful, and super-spunky. The ladies at the shelter put me in a frilly sweater with flowers on it, but I don't mind! I'm an amazing little dude so please come see me! If you think you want to get to know me, check me out here!"

"I'm one really awesome cat—an all-around great girl. Every time that Caitlin and I have encountered each other, I have always leaned in and asked for scratches. I can usually be seen lounging around on one of the window units sleeping or napping. You will have to come to meet, but you can easily identify me by the cinnamon roll pattern in my fur and or the red collar around my neck! Please come to see me because I've been here for two whole years! Give me a home, here!"

"I came to the Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center recently and have taken some time to get settled in. If you come to see me, I would love to play with you.
