ALEXANDRIA, VA — The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria has plenty of adoptable pets to choose from this summer. But it would only be appropriate if its cat August would be adopted this month.

August is a black cat with a beautiful long coat and a social personality. Pets like August are available to meet by virtual or in-person appointment at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.

August, 7-Year-Old, Male Black Domestic Long-haired Cat
August is a seven-year-old gorgeous black house panther who is ready to pounce right into your heart. Social and confident, he loves hanging out with his human friends above all else. August is a very affectionate guy who will rub up against you to get your full attention; some people call it pushy, but August knows that deep down, you want to be petting him anyway! With his gorgeous long black hair, he'd be happy if his new family could include a grooming assistant, to help him keep his coat looking glossy and lush. If this handsome fellow sounds like your perfect match, then make an appointment to meet him.
