Story
Found Charlie just before hurricane Helene, and have been caring for him ever since. He has a very bold personality, loud purr and meow, and always willing to play. He likes to climb, run, hunt laser pointers or anything else that moves (including toes under the bed or ankles in general). He takes a bit to get used to dogs, but doesn't mind them if they don't mind him. His energy level is too high for my other cat, always trying to start a round of playing but never takes off since the other cat is tired. Charlie will find anything to play with when bored. He usually loses his toys by batting them to parts unknown. He has a weakness for catnip. Charlie will lay all over whoever will pet him. He will also try to balance on shoulders too. He has a strong curiosity for the outdoors. Charlie also will come when called!

Story
Banshee is a very energetic senior. She's 6-10 years old and loves playing. She's a bit of a quirky cat that loves to jump around. I believe she can get along with other cats but would probably do best in a single cat household. She's very good with people and greets guests all the time.

Story
Dragonfruit is an adorable loving cat but she continues having with the other cats in the household the older she has gotten. She does amazing with dogs, but I cannot say the same with other cats. She has a ton of energy, loves to cuddle and will always want to be around you. She has much love to give and deserves to be in a home where she can be the only cat as she would like to be!

Story
Silvia is a 1 year old ( 2 in July) girl Tuxedo. She is very sweet and playful. She gets along well with everyone, and even enjoys hanging around groups of people. She works well with families and kids. She also gets along well with my family’s dog. We don’t have any additional cats, but the Humane society that I adopted her from stated that she liked to play with the other cats there. She is not very talkative unless it is time to eat lol. She really likes chicken, churu, and toys that she can chase like wand toys. She drinks more water than most (we add to her food) and is in good health. She also loves spending time outside sitting in the grass. Ideally Silvias new home would be with someone responsible, attentive, and financially capable to properly care for her. Like most tuxies, she can be a little mischievous and gets into things if you are not paying attention. She is very playful, so a home with other pet companions and an owner that plays with her is ideal.

Story
Niles is at least 6 years old, and a very distinguished and polite gentleman in his long black and white tuxedo coat with a big plume of a tail. The perfect home for him will be as an only cat, no dogs, no kids, and of course, indoors-only. He is the ultimate chill companion cat and just wants a quiet, stress-free home where he can hang out with a calm adult (or adults) human. He's the best biscuit maker and loves being combed out and even accepts tummy rubs. He currently is being fostered with other cats but he gets lost in the crowd and does not get the attention he craves. Niles is neutered, current on rabies and distemper vaccines, and current on flea and worm prevention. He does great at the vet clinic for his annual visits and is a favorite. He has tested positive for FIV twice in the past two years but is healthy and asymptomatic. FIV+ cats can live long, normal lives especially when kept indoors and pampered.

We do not have a set adoption fee but ask for an adoption fee of your choice. We do require a cat carrier for safe transport. Please share! Email us at feralcatcaregivers@yahoo.com if you are interested in meeting him!

Looking for a home that can provide: • A stable, loving environment • Understanding of senior cat needs • Indoor living space • Patient transition period Please message me if you can provide a forever home for this sweet boy. We want to ensure he goes to a caring and responsible home.
