King Street Cats is a cat-exclusive, non-kill shelter in Alexandria, and relies solely on donations. Run by volunteers, King Street Cats is now located at 25 S. Dove St. where most cats up for adoption roam freely in two open rooms. Both rooms have plenty of space for sleeping and lounging in the sun, as well as plenty of toys and even a “catwalk” that cats use to access platforms attached to the wall.
On average, King Street Cats houses 30 cats, and all cats are sterilized and fully up-to-date on shots prior to adoption. Adoption open houses are every Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., and cats available for adoption can be browsed on its website at https://kingstreetcats.rescuegroups.org/animals/browse.
