Shelter Pet Saturday: Meet Simba, the Playful and Energetic Feline Looking for a Loving Home!


Meet our Pitbull Tobacco & More Pet of the Week at Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center:


Simba is a confident yet cautious kitty with a charming personality. He loves to find cozy hiding spots up high where he can observe the world around him. Full of energy, Simba thrives on playtime—at least once a day with an interactive wand toy is a must! Watching him leap and twist during play is pure joy.

He may not be your typical lap cat, but Simba has his own sweet way of showing affection. He loves to rub against you and enjoys chin scratches and pets, especially when he’s in the mood—which is often! He’s already met our senior beagle and is completely unfazed by him, frequently giving him little rubs. This suggests he would do wonderfully with other pets too!

Simba would appreciate having shelves to climb and jump on, allowing him to expend that boundless energy. He’s also a smart boy who enjoys food puzzle toys, keeping him entertained and engaged. He is a certified bug catcher. 

He can get overstimulated and might try to use your hands as toys. Keep some catnip kickers nearby and make sure to use an interactive wand toy to satisfy his hunting instincts. He loves to roll around, but beware—don’t touch his belly; it’s a trap! He’s fine with being picked up when needed and will offer a few affectionate rubs before asking to be set free.

If you’re looking for a loving companion who enjoys your presence without being overly needy, Simba is the one for you. He’ll thrive in a patient home that can provide him with daily playtime and understands his energetic nature. 

If you’re ready to welcome this playful and affectionate feline into your life, Simba can’t wait to meet you!
