Adopt a Cat: Rescue Tobie

Brown tabby cat named Tobie is waiting for you at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter.

(Editor's note: Great news — , was adopted!)

Looking to add a pet to your family? Tobie, a 14-year-old brown tabby, is a neutered male and declawed on all four feet. He spent 13 years in the same house with his sister, never had a litter box accident and was great with kids. 

Unfortunately the family had a new baby that ended up being severely allergic to the cats. They brought both cats in right after Christmas and Tobie’s sister has already been adopted out.

Tobie is very laid back, a little shy at first but really wants to be loved. His owners said he was a great lap cat and absolutely loves to be petted — the best buddy to watch TV with that anyone could ask for. 

He is fine with other cats, although he would prefer quiet, older ones and not some overly energetic, bouncy kitten as a friend. He already knows his manners around the house, is respectful of spaces he isn’t allowed in, can’t scratch furniture at all, but needs a new home for his golden years. 

His previous owners took him to the vet regularly and he is in excellent health.

If you’re interested in adopting or meeting Tobie, you can visit him at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter at the following times:

Tuesday - Friday: 12 noon  – 7 p.m.
Saturday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

4500 West Ox Road, Fairfax, Virginia 22030
Phone: 703-830-1100

I called the Fairfax County Animal Shelter at the number provided and was told that
a) they don't have a cat named Tobie up for adoption, b) they haven't had a cat with that name up for adoption in the past 60 days, and c) they don't advertise in the Patch. So where did this information come from?

I have worked at the Herndon polls on several occasions, and I would like to make sure everyoneRead More understands what Fairfax County and the State of Virginina already require poll workers to do to combat voter fraud. The requirements that people work in their own precincts among their neighbors is to make the likelihood of someone committing voter fraud small at best. We are to stay there all day (5:30 am until the vote count is complete, usually a full hour after the polls close at the earliest) as another check on the chance of someone voting more than once or under more than one name. Both parties are represented among the poll workers by design to even out the chances of at least one worker knowing anyone who might walk in to vote. I have yet to work in a precinct where at least some volunteer poll watchers weren't present for either or both parties (and for all three parties in the election that include Ross Perot) for some or all of the voting hours. Poll workers are instructed on how to challenge a ballot, and I have had to do this myself on at least one occasion. A challenged ballot is sealed and kept, and after the election a panel makes a decision as to whether the ballot will be unsealed and counted. In most cases, the election is clearly won or lost without the challenged ballots, and they are destroyed unopened. I say all this to assure everyone that I feel large scale voter fraud is very unlikely. The need for other measures is unnecessary.
