Story
Juniper (Juni) is a very affectionate cat who loves people and loves to play. She is about 4 years old. She doesn't seem to understand social cues from other cats and as such other cats tend to hate her (which is why we are rehoming her). She is very sweet and social with people. She will greet you every day when you come home. She is a good cuddler and very emotionally supportive. She loves to play and will run and jump all over to get a toy. Her other main interest is cat food. She only eats kibble and doesn't tend to like wet cat food. Her only behavioral issue is she tries to eat plastic and any human food she can get to. She also gets the occasional late-night zoomies and is very vocal if she isn't able to cuddle with anyone at night. You are also welcome to all of her cat accessories. She loves to nap in her pictured plush whale and has a favorite bird toy.

Story
Name: Winslow Age: Approx 3-4 yrs. Gender: Male Weight: Approx 9-10 lbs. Adoption Fee: $80 Winslow's story is kind of sad and brought tears to my eyes when I first learned where he came from. Winslow and his friend (Willow) were surrendered from a drug house in Wilkesboro, NC. Their owner passed away but they were neglected and mistreated so much that when I took them in they were both severely matted, dirty, emaciated, had fleas, skin rashes. I've attached a few before pictures of when I got him. He was brought to me on May 6th and I've had him in my care for about 6 weeks now. I took him to the vet right away and he was treated given a physical exam and properly medicated. Winslow has been slowly healing and his condition wasn't as bad as Willow's but you can tell their prior environment was not good. Winslow is funny, kinda quirky and loves getting attention. He's a total lap kitty and will just lay in your lap while being affectionate and giving you motor purrs. I don't know how he is with dogs. He absolutely loves the string toy and has a playful personality. He's full of energy and doesn't mind being the center of attention. Winslow enjoys a big cat tree and some scratching posts. I will say he does have a playful bite to him. But it's those bites that he's trying to be playful and doesn't realize it sometimes hurts us humans. He definitely loves food and is very food motivated. Like his friend Willow..always part of the clean plate club. :) I feel like Winslow would do well with other cats. Winslow is neutered, vaccinated and tested negative for FIV/FELV. All paperwork will be provided at time of adoption. I require a professional reference, and if you have or had any current pet/s, I will need to see their paperwork. Winslow is so deserving af a good home with love and affection. He will not be adopted to just anyone, I want to make sure it's a good fit for Winslow and his potential adopter/s. If you'd like to learn more about Winslow contact me and let's help find him a sweet, loving home.

Story
Name: Oreo Gender: Girl Age: Born Approx. Mid Aug. 2024 Location: Durham, NC Hi, I'm Oreo! My mom Mischief had me around middle of August. She had 8 kittens total but unfortunately 2 of my siblings didn't make it. :( My mom Mischief was lucky to be found by a sweet lady driving from Jamestown, NC to Greensboro, NC on the side of the road. Found out she was pregnant and here I am, now looking for a sweet and loving forever home! I was taken to a foster lady in Durham, NC on October 20, 2024 where she has been taking care of me and my brother Midnight. Midnight and I are bonded so we'd like to be adopted together but I will understand if that's a bit more challenging to ask. I want it to be a good fit for both of us. My brother Midnight is in first in command and i'm 2nd in charge. Lol. I like to climb and crawl on things. I get along great with other cats and good with dogs too. My foster mom calls us Bonnie and Clyde. Haha. Midnight and I make a great team together and like to cuddle up together and with our human. Would you consider adopting me?! I love cat trees and scratching post. I also would like some toys, especially the laser pointer! I look forward to meeting you! There’s an adoption fee to make sure I go to a good home. I'm getting spayed and tested on Monday December 23rd. Just in time for Christmas! Kittens make great stocking stuffers! For more information about adopting me, please reach out to Heather at catsonthehorizon@gmail.com.

She had 8 kittens total but unfortunately 2 of my siblings didn't make it. :( My mom Mischief was lucky to be found by a sweet lady driving from Jamestown, NC to Greensboro, NC on the side of the road. Found out she was pregnant and here I am, now looking for a sweet and loving forever home! I'm a love bug and consider myself funny and quirky too. I have this thing with slippers and if you wear slippers around the house and take them off then I like to go in them and play with slippers. Lol. I consider myself independent but playful and can get along great with other cats. Oh, and I also would love a scratching post, cat tree and some toys. I look forward meeting you! There’s a $25 adoption fee to make sure I go to a good home. I have not been spayed or vaccinated yet so I would greatly appreciate it if you took care of that for me when I’m adopted. Also, my foster mom requires a professional reference and most recent vet/medical records of current/past pets that you have. This is just to ensure that whoever adopts me is a good person and trustworthy to be my caretaker. For more information reach out to Ashley Wall directly about adopting me. 336-807-6502 or ashleymichaelewall@gmail.com. Do not contact Cats on the Horizon email or phone number. My foster mom Ashley is taking care of me.

Found out she was pregnant and here I am, now looking for a sweet and loving forever home! I'm the runt of the litter. Lol. I can be a bit more shy and timid than my siblings, but that's only because I'm protective of myself and can get scared of unfamiliar surroundings. I can be vocal and if you call my name..then I usually come to you. I like a nice cat tree, scratching post and some toys. I look forward meeting you!
