Story
My rescue story:  My start in life hasn't been great but it sure has been exciting!  A good samaritan was driving casually down a busy 5 lane road when all of a sudden, the car in front of her threw me out the window! into traffic!  Lucky for me the lady saw it happen and literally wrecked her car to avoid hitting me.  I froze and didn't know what to do.  She jumped out of her car and ran to scoop me up from the middle of the road.  Terrified, I found a great place to hide - I crawled up into the dash where no one could reach me.  The lady drove me all the way to a rescue location where they spent around 7 hours trying to coax me out of hiding.  I heard them talking about driving the car to a mechanic to see if they could remove the dash to get me out but I thought that would be too dramatic.  I came out on my own and now live safely and happily with several foster friends.  I am still a shy little guy but I do love to be held and have my belly rubbed.  I'm learning that not all people are like the monsters that threw me out.   For more information, please contact the rescue at tipsandtailsrescuecats@gmail.com. **All cats and kittens are provided age-appropriate vaccines, combo tested (FIV/FELV), spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and provided flea/tick prevention prior to adoption**no exceptions ##2059373##

Story
***Completed applications will take priority over email inquiries and phonecalls.  Please complete an application! <3 My rescue story: On 6/21/24 a nice lady who feeds the stray and feral cats at the Bojangles in Richburg, SC had come for her daily feeding.  To her surprise, all of the shelters and food bowls she set up were missing so she went inside to inquire.  As luck would have it, there I was, all by myself and scared.  I think someone dumped me there all by myself as there were no other kittens my age around there.  Since then, I have been kept safe and cool in foster care where they feed me really good food and let me play with new friends!   Best guess, my birthday is 5/6/2024.  I have had all of my vaccines, deworming, neuter, microchipping, and tested for FIV/FELV and ready to join your family!  I would do best without small children as I can be fearful of loud noises and commotion.  ##2097435##

Story
This good-lookin' dude is the epitome of feline awesome. Even though he tends to be shy at first and I promise whenever you’re having a bad day, he will put a smile on your face” with his cute little meow. He loves to chat and a good scratch on the back.If you want to toss him some cat treats, he wouldn't be mad about it!  He also gets along with all his foster buddies ( KITTENS) and it's been a lot over the 2 years he has been patiently waiting. If you think you might want to be that person he is waiting for then wait no longer. **All cats and kittens are fully vaccinated, combo tested, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and provided flea/tick prevention prior to adoption** ##1826135##

Story
***PLEASE READ PROFILE - Ross will need a special adopter and is bonded with his brother Chandler Meet Ross, the resilient kitten who was born  behind the bustling chaos of a fast-food restaurant dumpster. Now in the gentle care of a foster home, this shy feline is timidly exploring the world, one cautious step at a time. With each passing day, Ross grows more confident, revealing his playful spirit and endearing charm to those who patiently wait to earn his trust. Join him on his heartwarming journey as he learns to embrace the love and companionship that was once only a distant dream. He is picky about whose lap he'll snuggle on, but when chosen, its a nightly ritual. Ross's foster home consists of other cats & 2 large dogs, with whom he gets along with. He is still jumpy & cautious with loud noises, so a home with small children would not be a good fit. With patience, Ross will continue to come out of his shell, & develop the loving, trusting personality that I know he has! **All cats and kittens are provided age-appropriate vaccines, combo tested (FIV/FELV), spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and provided flea/tick prevention prior to adoption** ##1945641##
