Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Woodfin, North Carolina

When I first came across Ray Ray, I thought he was stuck in the tree. Turns out that he was living up there. He had been abandoned by his owner and had moved up into the tree to stay safe from 2 big dogs that lived below. He was filthy, flea infested, mangy, and emaciated. He has recovered quite nicely. He is not a cuddly cat. He likes some scratches but will become overstimulated after a few minutes. He is not good with other cats, and I would not place him in a home with young children. With that being said, he is actually very social and has a very cool personality. He loves to hang out with people, and he really likes my dog. He is always trying to get her to play. The time has come for this awesome beast to find his Furever home. He is healthy and up to date on all of his shots and flea meds. A patient and understanding owner with a gentle doggie playmate would be ideal for him. Please consider Ray Ray. He is a worthy soul.

You may have learned in school that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but did you know... Mitochondria is also the powerhouse of the mouse hunters? This fierce girl is a retired momma whose kittens have already been adopted. She can't wait to stretch her legs and exercise her skills in a new territory! Our working cats are looking to provide poison-free pest control in exchange for food and shelter. These professionals are not adoptable as indoor pets, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve a second chance. As experts in their field, their ideal workplaces include barns, breweries, wineries, garden centers, farms, food pantries, and warehouses. All cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. You can hire working cats on a walk-in basis at 14 Forever Friend Lane from 10:00-4:00, Tuesday-Saturday!

Fergus is about 1 year and 2 months. He is a really loving boy and is not shy at all. He loves dogs as long as they are not rough with him. We have 4 dogs and two of them have high hunting drives so they harass him and unfortunately the stress causes UTIs for him. He is really loving and plays well with other cats and cuddles with our calmer dogs. He loves his sister moon pie and cuddles her often

Hazel is a gorgeous, floofy girl with a sweet and gentle soul. She loves to stare into your eyes and be on your lap, or preferably, your shoulder. She’s a ball of energy when she wrestles with her siblings or chases her toys, then when she’s had enough excitement, she’s an absolute cuddle bug. When she eats, she puts both front paws in the food and kneads and purrs while she’s eating. It makes for great entertainment.. and dirty paws and face. She’s going to be your sweetest best friend kitty. She will do best in a home with another playful, sweet pet to keep her company, while also honoring her gentle spirit.Meet Acorn, Maple, Apple and Hazel at PetSmart, Bleachery Blvd, during our weekly adoption event from 12-4pm.  Get $50 off the adoption fee of a pair of kittens (under 1 year of age). All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, FELV/FIV tested, dewormed and started on monthly flea preventative.

Welcome Benson! This baby bean was recently brought into Veterinary Emergency Group as a stray. Benson is a lovely little boy who is very affectionate, playful, and vocal! Benson has been diagnosed with SEVERE Pulmonic Stenosis (PS), which is a congenital heart disease, & he also has moderate enlargement of the right hand side of his heart. PS is when the leaflets of the valve become so thickened, blood is no longer able to pass through normally, and rather ejects out. Imagine putting your finger over a hose… Additionally, severe PS can progress to Congestive Heart Failure (also known as CHF). CHF is when fluid will develop in the chest. Benson is roughly 6 months old.? The question is: is this “fixable”, what can we do? Our Vet at Upstate, Dr. Tschosik, explained that the most common procedure for this, would be a balloon valvuloplasty. Which is typically when a jugular vein is utilized to gain access to the heart, and then a balloon catheter is inflated inside the valve. With the hope that this will stretch the valve and make more space for easier blood flow. This surgery is estimated at $5,000 and is recommended once he is older. We know this all sounds very scary and intimidating, but Benson is still a normal and happy kitten! Benson is active, he loves to explore and cuddle on your lap, and he does well with other cats and dogs! Benson is a special boy and he even has a special heart to prove it! Thankfully for Benson, he was able to find THE BEST Foster Mom early on, who has truly been here for Benson since day one, and is someone you can always count on. She is an exceptionally kind human, who always has the best intentions for Misfits. We spoke with Dr. Tschosik about getting Benson neutered next, and if it would be safe for him. She recommended that we follow up with our primary Vet (Open Door Veterinary Care), and ultimately, she did not see a problem with him moving forward with his neuter. All in all, we received some pretty sad news about Benson, but he’s still just as happy as ever! We know this is a lot, and we certainly didn’t expect any of it when we first took Benson in, as there were no obvious “warning signs”. We will continue to monitor Benson, and continue to love him!
