Saving Lives, Four Paws at a Time
We are a volunteer-run, no-kill rescue.
The 4Paws foster network takes in homeless cats and kittens awaiting their furever home.

 How Can You Help? 

We rely on financial and materials donations to fund veterinary care, adoption fairs, and rescue operations. 93 cents of every dollar goes directly to cats and kittens in need. 

4Paws cat Cinnamon believes love comes in many forms.

Percival (named after the American novelist Percival Everett) has arrived in the Northern Virginia area! Affectionately nicknamed Percy, he is a 14-month-old tabby cat who is half Bengal. He was born on the streets in front of a large hotel in Kuwait called Symphony Tower, to a pair of abandoned house cats. He was rescued at the beginning of December 2024. He has been a wonderful companion to his rescuer. Percy loves attention and thrives during playtime. He is incredibly smart and learns tricks quickly. While he is a lap cat, he also has a very independent nature. Percy is great with both adults and children, although he can be defensive around other cats. With proper introductions, he could potentially become friends with other cats.Every year in Kuwait, dozens of people buy fancy cats in the fall, only to abandon them in the spring before leaving the country for vacation. These cats are left to fend for themselves, often facing horrible deaths in the scorching 130°F summer in Kuwait. There are very few resources available to help these cats, though a handful of overworked, stressed-out, and underfunded rescuers, including Percy’s reacuer, are doing everything they can.Apply online at https://fourpaws.org/adopt-a-cat/ ...
