Hi I am Violet. I am a gorgeous, yellow-eyed girl who, along with my big sister Gizmo, were surrendered to Stafford County Animal Shelter through no fault of our own. You see, our previous family said that they could not keep us inside, but as we are two "unfixed" girls, you can see why that would have been an issue.
Understandably, I am unsure and scared of my new surroundings but welcome pets and have not shown any defensive behavior. As I am still just a baby (8 months) I am a bit more cautious and unsure of things than Gizmo and so having her or another, confident cat in my forever home would probably help me see that the world is not so bad. I hear that black cats have a harder time getting adopted but I can't understand why. I am just stunning and hope you will come meet me soon!

As Violet is not spayed, there are restrictions on adoption. Please see below for more information.
Please take note that the pet you're interested in has not undergone spaying or neutering. Consequently, certain adoption restrictions apply. To adopt an unaltered animal from our shelter, you must be a resident of either Stafford County or one of the neighboring counties, which include:
· Caroline
· Culpeper
· Fauquier
· Fredericksburg City
· King George
· Prince William
· Spotsylvania
Should you reside outside of these specified counties, you remain eligible to adopt a pet that has already been spayed or neutered.?
We want to express our sincere gratitude for considering adoption. While you explore the possibility of bringing a shelter pet into your home, we kindly request your understanding regarding one limitation we face: our shelter does not employ a resident veterinarian. Consequently, it is crucial that you make arrangements for necessary veterinary care for your adopted pet outside of our facility.
For the safety of our feline friends, we have a policy in place that requires all cats to be transported in carriers. Please bring one with you. If you don't have a carrier, we offer cardboard pet carriers for sale at $5 each. These carriers provide a comfortable and secure journey for your new feline family member as they transition to their forever home.
To proceed with the adoption, you will be required to present a photo ID that displays your current address. In the event that your address isn't on your ID, you may bring a current utility bill that bears your name and address, alongside your photo ID. This verification process is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals under our care.
?Adoptions at our shelter operate on a first-come, first-served basis, unless otherwise specified. Please be aware that adoption services conclude 30 minutes before the shelter's closing time.
You are more than welcome to visit the shelter during our regular hours of operation: Monday to Friday: 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturdays: 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sundays and Holidays: Closed
Our shelter's physical address is 26 Frosty Lane, Stafford, VA 22554. Should you have any further inquiries or require additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 540.658.7387 or via email at

Once again, we express our sincere gratitude for your thoughtful consideration of adoption and your unwavering commitment to offering a loving home to a shelter pet. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you to the Stafford County Animal Shelter in the near future!??
