Animal Allies (Purrs and Paws) in Fairfax Station, VA
Animal Allies (Purrs and Paws) is an animal shelter based in Fairfax Station, Virginia, within Fairfax County, about 15 miles east of Alexandria, VA. Operating in northern Virginia since 1984, Animal Allies is an entirely volunteer-run humane organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of cats and kittens; it has no physical shelter and instead relies on foster homes, primarily near Woodbridge and Alexandria, along with a community cat sanctuary in Culpeper, VA. The organization promotes spaying and neutering, supports trap-neuter-vaccinate-return programs for feral cats, and champions the humane treatment of animals and wildlife preservation. Fairfax County is home to 24 other animal shelters and rescues, making Animal Allies one of many organizations in the area working to find loving homes for companion animals.
