King Street Cats is the only cat-exclusive, no-kill rescue facility in Alexandria, VA. We are committed to helping all cats and kittens in need.
(335)

We specialize in kitties that traditional shelters cannot take in: pregnant cats, nursing cats and newborn kittens, orphaned bottle-fed kittens, senior kitties, and kitties with medical issues. If we have room, no kitty is turned away. We educate and assist the community in regard to cat welfare, and to provide loving homes for the cats in our care. We accomplish this through outreach to the local community by providing information on proper cat care, behavioral problems and medical issues involving cats. We also assist local residents in locating and retrieving lost cats and assist individuals through the cat adoption process. We provide abandoned and rescued cats and kittens with a safe and secure temporary home until a permanent,loving owner and home can be found. We promote spaying and neutering and all our cats and kittens are sterilized prior to adoption. We also provide post-adoption support for adopters and anyone else that needs cat care advice. We hope you, too, will become a friend of King Street Cats!

This week at King Street Cats, you may have noticed we are celebrating Halloween! We have a very special kitty who asked to say hello!

Hi all, I am Slingshot! I came to King Street Cats in March of this year. I had been left behind with relatives when my person moved. I am a guy of a certain size and age and it took me some time to settle in, but I eventually found my footing thanks to the lovely folks at KSC. Everyone was just so kind.

After a bit I was adopted and we thought that would be the end of my King Street Cats story. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out quite as we hoped and here I am back with all my peeps at KSC in search of yet another home.

My friends tell me none of this is my fault and they love me. They show me that every day with all the care and attention they give me in unlimited supply.

So, if you know anyone looking for a laid back, upper middle-aged, handsome, affectionate kitty, I’m your guy. You can read all about me on my very own page: https://www.kingstreetcats.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=22497892

Thank you to all of you. Because of you I am safe and loved until my true forever family comes to find me.

Happy Halloween,
Slingshot
🎃👻💕

P.S. KSC adopts only in the immediate DMV area. You can learn all about adopting with King Street Cats https://www.kingstreetcats.org/info/adoption

Our very own adoptable Chance, the 2026 Alexandria Library Cat, may be celebrating in cardboard cutout form, but that doesn't mean he can't dress to impress! 📚

Whether he's turning pages or turning heads in his Halloween costumes, Chance knows how to steal the spotlight! 🖤🧡

Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween from Chance and all of us at King Street Cats! 👻

It’s Adoption Update Friday, and today we’re catching up with adorable brothers Butternut and Hubbard 🧡🐾

Their family tells us these sweet boys love playtime—especially when wand toys and puff balls are involved.

Hubbard, the handsome gray kitty affectionately known as “Hubbard-Hubs,” likes to sleep on the support pillow behind his person’s main pillow. Sometimes she wakes to find him lovingly grooming her—or, as it feels, eating her hair! He is wonderfully soft, incredibly sweet, and always quick to purr.

Butternut, the orange-and-white brother known as “Butter,” sleeps beside his person almost every night. By day, he is the braver of the pair and takes his neighborhood-watch duties very seriously. Butter’s love language is licking, and he will happily shower your arm with kisses for as long as you let him—all given with pure, unconditional love.

Their family writes, “Thank you for letting us bring these boys into our lives!”

We couldn’t be happier to see Butternut and Hubbard so deeply loved and enjoying their wonderful life together ❤️

Another Wednesday at King Street Cats means another to share! 🐱 This week, we'd like to introduce you to a kitty who's got a lot of love to give: Conrad!

Hi out there—my name is Conrad. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you don't mind if I share a little bit about myself.

I'm a very handsome (if I do say so myself!) black and white 'cow cat' with a sleek white coat, black spots on my head and back, and a long black tail. 🐄 I'm still a young fellow at just about a year and a half old.

I was born outside and, let me tell you, life on the streets was not for me. I was so glad that I was rescued into a KSC foster home and given lots of love in the great indoors!

After I was fully vetted, I came to the main room here at KSC. I'll admit, I can be a little timid when I first meet you. But, if you give me gentle love, pets, and tell me how handsome I am in a quiet voice, I'll perk right up! 💙 I promise I have a lot of affection to give—it might just take a moment for me to show it. But, can you blame me after living in the scary outside world?!

One thing I do have to share: I LOVE other kitties. I really enjoy spending time with my pals here at KSC—snuggling with them, taking naps in the sun, and playing with toys. 🐈 I really need a feline friend in my fur-ever home, so—if you don't already have another kitty at home—KSC would be happy to show you my friends!

And while I love to romp around with my kitty pals (I might even do okay with a cat-friendly dog...), I would probably do better in a calm home without any children. I'd really love some adult humans who can shower me with love (and maybe even a few Temptations treats!).

So, what do you think? Maybe you can come visit me at KSC this weekend to see if your home is my place to spend fur-ever? 🏠

Interested in learning more about Conrad? Visit our website, kingstreetcats.org. There, you can find our adoption application* and ways to support our work. 💻

*Please note that we only adopt within the metro DVM area in DC/MD/VA. Many of our cats come from high-kill shelters outside the metro DVM, so you would be literally saving a life by going directly to the shelters near you.
