KD Kitties Rescue and Sanctuary

Formed and run by two former Kings Dominion performers, KD Kitties Rescue & Sanctuary's mission is to protect and advocate for feral and friendly cats currently or formerly living at Kings Dominion theme park in Doswell, VA. We aim to provide a better life through sterilization, socialization, foster/adoption, and ongoing care including feeding and monitoring existing colonies, veterinary care at local clinics to ensure cats remain healthy and up-to-date on all vaccines, and to provide a safe place for cats while we work to find them a forever home. We also attempt to educate and inform the public about the importance of spaying/neutering and vaccinating their pets, as well as how to properly acclimate barn cats to new locations, how to socialize feral cats transitioning to indoor life, and medical issues such as FIV and FeLV and how they do or do not impact a cat's health and living situation.

We have a Google form that all potential fosters and adopters are required to fill out. Based on this form, we will proceed with the screening process and have a telephone/virtual/or in person interview which generally includes all persons who will be living with the cats. If approved, they have the option to foster, foster-to-adopt or adopt. If they decide to adopt, we have a separate adoption agreement that they are required to fill out and sign, along with an adoption fee that is equal to the amount of veterinary services spent on the cat(s) to include spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, etc. If fostering-to-adopt, we may consider waiving the adoption fee. Our goal is to ensure cats are placed in a home that is a good fit for the cat(s), the adopter(s), and all family members and residents to include other pets currently living in the home. Fosters and adopters are required to contact us and return animals to our rescue if at any time they feel they can no longer care for the animal.
