Story
LONG STAY, adoption fee reduced to $50.  Ocatavia is a sweet and independent little mama who loves pets and treats but starts out really shy and is frightened about change so it takes her some time to really settle in.  She needs a minute (or a bit more) to realize she can trust you, but once she does, she gives thanks with love and purrs.  She doesn't love to be picked up but she will tolerate it.  She would prefer her pets beside you or to decide when she is ready for a lap. Octavia is ready for a quiet home of her own where she can relax and be loved.   She adjusted easily to both her foster's cats and dogs.  She doesn't really interact with them but she is not aggressive to them at all and doesn't go out of her way to avoid them.  She routinely traverses the areas frequented by the other pets without an issue, even bypassing a baby gate to enter the area of the home where the dogs are.  To meet Octavia, please fill out an adoption application. All cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, FELV/FIV tested, microchipped, dewormed and started on monthly flea preventative. All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption.

Rescued from a feral cat colony, where volunteers suspected he was abandoned, Tony has proven himself to be far from feral. Despite the challenges of outdoor living, he has gracefully adapted to house life. Tony now enjoys the company of his humans and loves spending time on their laps. He is also quite playful and loves his catnip.  He shows no signs of wanting to return to outdoor living, though he does enjoy looking out the window, curious about the antics of squirrels and birds. Tony can be quite talkative and will carry on a conversation with you and will show off his trills and many different vocal capabilities.Tony is about 2 years old, uses a litter box, is neutered, and is up to date on all his shots. Tony has tested positive for FeLV.  This is a common disease for cats, and many with this disease can live normal lives.  We are looking for an adopter with a big heart who is somewhat cat-savvy and can provide Tony with a loving, stress-free, indoor home environment. We are happy to meet potential adopters and introduce you to Tony.  If interested please contact me at bcmcintire50@gmail.com.   All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption.

Story
Bly starts out in a new place as a shy boy that enjoys being pet and is an expert cuddler once he knows you a bit.  Then he is very playful and ready for lots of attention.  He hasn't had a lot of being picked up and carried around so he still gets a bit stiff when you reach to pick him up.  He loves to play with toys and has had to entertain himself for some time since he was sick and quarantined from other pets.  He arrived to us sick, as do many, and it really took him awhile to shake it.  He will thrive in a quiet home that doesn't have too much commotion where he can have the time it takes to feel safe and comfortable. Bly has had ongoing URI (upper respiratory symptoms) that can disappear completely for some time and then flare up when he experiences stress so his adopter will need to understand that and be prepared for more frequent vet visits and to do the things needed to keep his environment low stress and controlled. It is possible this is the feline herpes virus.  His symptoms have been very mild the last few months with only occassional minor, short-lived flare ups.     To meet Bly, please fill out an adoption application.   All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccines, FELV/FIV tested, microchipped, dewormed and started on monthly flea preventative. All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption.

Story
SPECIAL NEEDS: FeLV+.  Bittle is a very confident and affectionate kitty. She loves belly rubs and will purr endlessly when receiving attention. She loves using her scratching pad and so she is easily directed away from scratching furniture. Although she is a vocal cat who will ask for attention with her adorable meow, she is also content to play with her toys, watch birds, or take naps during periods of alone time.  Although she is FeLV+, she is otherwise healthy and full of energy and ready for her forever family. It should be a home with no other cats or cats that are FeLV+ as FeLV is contagious (but not to dogs or humans, just cats). She could live a long, healthy life, or she could pass at a younger age because she has a compromised immune system (should be indoors only). But she still deserves love and will return it multiplied.Meet Bittle by applying to adopt and a meet and greet can be scheduled.  All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccines, FELV/FIV tested, microchipped, dewormed and started on monthly flea preventative.   All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption.
