Meet Hawthorn, a 2-year-old black and white gentleman with a quiet charm and a heart full of potential. Hawthorn is the kind of cat who takes a little time to get to know you, but once he does, his sweet and steady nature really shines. He enjoys a calm environment where he can settle in at his own pace, and he appreciates gentle attention from people he trusts. Whether he’s relaxing nearby or accepting soft pets, Hawthorn makes a peaceful and comforting companion. With his classic good looks and thoughtful personality, Hawthorn is a wonderful match for someone looking for a laid-back feline friend. Give him a little patience and kindness, and he’ll reward you with quiet companionship and loyal affection. Be sure to check the "shelter information" box on the listing to see if the pet is located at our Michael R. Frey Campus (4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or our Lorton Campus (8875 Lorton Road, Lorton). Then, come in during our open hours! Both of our locations are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-5 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays 12-7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information on our adoption process, including requirements and fees, visit: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/animalservices/adopt
