Go to Patriot Pawsabilities in Fairfax. Or look at hart90.org -- HART has cat adoptions every Sunday at the Sterling PetsMart.

It isn't kitten season.
The one thing to note is if you get a kitten, they're likely going to ask that you take 2. For what it's worth I adopted about an 18 month old cat solo and then ended up later getting a kitten for her because she didn't do well as a solo cat (my previous cat had been old already when adopted and preferred being solo).
If you adopt a blue Russian however, you want it to be a solo cat because that's their preference.

I didnt know "creamsicle" was commonly used to describe the orange/white cats. I had one growing up and we adopted her and her name was "Creamsicle" but I misheard and renamed her "Dreamsicle". Lived to be 19.

We have buff tabby brothers and they are the bestest boys. We got them from Lost Dog ( and cat) rescue. Ginger cats are so much fun!

Orange cats are the best - though they can be rascals. In my experience they are very much lap cats.

I adopted my cats from here years ago. They have an orange kitten named Killer on the website who looks perfect. Good luck, OP.

I have an awesome old orange barn cat. His name is Orange Cat. I hope you find just the one you are looking for!
Orange is so formidable I once saw him chase a fox out of the barn loft! Poor fox was terrified. Nobody messes with the Orange.

We're talking about orange (or orange/white -- one PP called them creamsicle) cats here.
