Barkley was born on July 18, 2007. He loves a good massage and lets you know by his loud purring. Barkley is of Bengal descent and is going to be a BIG cat! He loves to play with other cats,watchTV, look at himself in the mirror ( the vain boy) and especially enjoys the grooming provided to him by his foster mom. He is looking for a home that wants a big lovable, docile boy.
Feline Network is a small, all volunteer, not for profit cat rescue organization located in Springfield/Fairfax, VA.. Founded in 2003, it is run entirely by volunteers with no paid staff, and is dedicated to reducing the number of tame cats and potentially tame kittens living on their own in the unpredictable wild.
We strongly advocate Trap, Neuter and Return programs for feral cats and as space and volunteers are available, take feral kittens into our foster care, have them vetted by our dedicated vets, socialize and eventually adopt them to lifetime homes.
We utilize foster home settings and a larger shelter setting on private property in Fairfax County.
Feline Network is always in need of volunteers to help the kitties. Positions include but are not limited to, foster homes, socializers, cage cleaners, transporters, marketing specialists, fund raisers, adoption event set up crews, admin assistants. IF interested in exploring what you can do, email us at cittypaw@aol.com.
Our success depends on the generosity of adopters and friends who see the results of our work and realize that it is our passion and love of cats that helps us continue in this arduous but satisfying endeavor. We are in the process of filing our 501C3 paparwork, which takes time we literally don't have because the care of our cats takes priority. But anyone who is willing to help us by donating specified brands of food, litter or sponsor us by sending a check directly to our accounts at our vet , please contact us.
There is a free application process for which you are under no obligation to commit. No cat goes home on the day of application as it must be reviewed for policy standards. The process can take up to a week, depending on demand and volunteer availability. .
The adoption fees are as follows: Unaltered: $75 for one, $125 for two Altered $125 for one, $200 for two This fee is applied to help cover the medical expenses we incur for rescuing cats and getting them vetted. It rarely covers the entire expenses generated, and we appreciate your help in covering the costs of your new family member.
You may email us for an application at cittypaw@aol.com or visit us at one of .our adoption events and meet many of our kitties before you apply.
We strive to "custom match" the right cat or kitten(s) for your home and family so if you have an idea what you want but need to know if we have anything that "fits," please contact us by email at cittypaw@aol.com Please note, we adopt only to residents of Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC. We also prefer emails to phone calls. Please be patient with us. We are working ever so hard with kitten season. Don't breed your pet! Spay or neuter your pet to prevent the millions of births of kittens resulting in millions of euthanasias in our public animal control facilities daily.
