Stray and Feral Cats

Found a stray or feral cat in Fairfax County? Help is available through Fairfax County Animal Services (FCAS).

Stray cats (lost or abandoned):
Email: animalshelter@fairfaxcounty.gov

Feral or community cats (unowned and outdoors):
Email: communitycats@fairfaxcounty.gov

FCAS supports community cats — including feral and semi-socialized cats, outdoor-born kittens, and lost or abandoned cats. They offer:

  • Community Cat Spay/Neuter: For feral and unsocialized cats who cannot live safely indoors. Cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and returned to their outdoor home.
  • Return to Home: Helps reunite lost or stray owned cats with their families, reducing shelter intake and keeping pets with the people who love them.
  • Intake Triage & Rehoming: Evaluates and cares for unowned kittens and adult cats, ensuring they receive appropriate placement through foster care or adoption.
  • Identification Support: Promotes microchipping and ID-tagged collars for owned and managed cats to make reunification with caregivers and families faster and easier.

If you find an injured cat, FCAS will assist if you bring it in during their operating hours.
