Meet Niffler, a charming and dapper tuxedo cat searching for his forever family. This friendly feline, estimated to be around 2-3 years old, is currently available for adoption at the Stafford County Animal Shelter (SCAS).
Niffler is a social butterfly who adores people and is sure to bring laughter and joy into his new home. He was surrendered to the shelter after his previous family could no longer provide for him, but he remains hopeful that his perfect match will come along soon.
Originally postponed due to inclement weather, the event will now occur on Thursday, March 6, 2025, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Forest Park High School Auditorium, located at 15721 Forest Park Dr., Woodbridge. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage with parks and recreation officials to share feedback and learn more about how they can get involved.

The incident, however, began at the intersection of Primmer House Road and Leeland Road, where the driver was traveling eastbound on Primmer House Road. Instead of turning left or right at the intersection, Woodyard’s vehicle continued straight, going down an embankment and coming to rest in the backyard of a residence.
