Story
Looking for an energetic, mischievous kitty who comes when called and has an outgoing purrsonality? Nicholas is your boy! Adopted in April, this very loving /playful boy is not getting along with the other cats after many attempts to introduce them. As he's matured, Nicolas has made it obvious that he wants to rule his kingdom and is now in search of a new home. Coming all the way from a rough start in Kuwait, Nicholas is looking for a better life here in the U.S.! Sweet Nicholas is just 11 months old, but he's well-traveled! With vibrant see-into-your-soul yellow eyes and a extra long, jaunty black tail, Nicholas's personality shines through even at his young age! This is a kitty who has no reason to like or trust humans...but he DOES. In fact, he LOVES humans, is high energy and very out-going! No hiding for this guy. He'll waltz into your life, make himself at home in your house, and settle right in. He's a cuddler and a lap kitty, even with strangers, who loves to give kisses and thinks his people are the best thing ever. He's looking for a family to call his own where he can be king of his castle . He is dog friendly.. Nicholas is playful and exuberant but once he's done playing, he prefers to settle down and snooze with his favorite humans. Microchipped. Updated 9/15/24

Story
We were sad to recently receive this message from a previous adopter: " I am not in good health and need to find a home for her now because I can no longer give her the attention she needs and deserves. It would bring me peace of mind to know that she is in a loving home." Abby , an Abyssinian-mix was adopted as a young kitten in 2017 to be a companion to another young cat already in the home. Now 7 yrs old, she is up-to-date on vaccinations and currently residing in Harpers Ferry, WVA. Abby will need some time to adjust to a new home but will be a cherished family member once she settles in. Posted 5/30/24
