Story
Beegee is sweet, calm, and friendly. She is very vocal and it sometimes sounds like she's saying "hello"! She may seem shy at first, but she warms up quickly and doesn't even mind being picked up. She was originally a stray, but she adjusted quickly to the comfy indoor life, where she would like to remain! Since she hasn't been at the shelter long, we are unsure how she does with other cats or small children, but we haven't seen any signs of aggression since she came here. Similarly, she doesn't react when dogs pass by her room. Come down to meet this sweet girl!

Story
Mikie and his siblings were born in the rainy spring. His mom took great care of him and his sibling avoided the many coyotes in the neighboring woods. He was the first of his siblings to be rescued and he purred immediately when he arrived at the rescue. Mikie is a talker and loves to play. He can jump really high. He loves his siblings and would love to be adopted with one of them. Mikie is a sweetie pie and is so soft. He will absolutely bring you so much joy!

Story
Paulie is an adventurer! She was rescued 2 weeks after her Mom and her 3 siblings. She was just too scared and would quickly hide when her rescuers try to get her. She is a brave girl who also stayed hidden from the coyotes that roamed the neighborhood. After being socialized, she is just the best! She loves to play and really loves computer screens! She very petite and most likely will only weight 5 to 6 pounds. Oh yeah, she loves to talk to you too!

Story
This little boy right here - he is a baby. To be completely honest, we know his forever family will be SOLD by that statement alone, because they will get how special and amazing this little boy is. Meet Rhys, a dapper little kitty who has a soft spot in all of our hearts here at Never Less Cat Rescue! In May of 2024, a mama cat gave birth to kittens in our rescue. Rhys was not one of these kittens, but he came to us just a few short days afterwards, found by an owner whos dog had picked him up and had him in their mouth. Rhys was quickly rushed to us, and immediately was taken up by our mama cat who claimed him as her own that second. Rhys was then adopted into the ACOTAR litter! He is the last of the bunch to find his forever home, but he is certainly not the least of them all. We believe Rhys has not found his forever home yet because potential adopters only see his shyness when meeting him. Rhys is a very shy boy, but that is not a bad thing! Rhys is a kitty who absolutely loves other kitties. He has had best friends out of many foster siblings in his time here at the rescue. If any animal is friendly, he is happy to be their friend too. He might be a little nervous if that animal is bigger than him, but he quickly realizes who is and isnt a threat! While Rhys does love other kitties, he forms strong and special bonds with people who give him the opportunity to, and that is exactly what he is looking for in his adopter! Someone who knows that giving him just a little extra time to adjust is okay, and his love is so rewarding. Rhys follows his foster parents from room to room. Sometimes he is right in step with them, ready to be apart of whatever everyone else is doing. Other times, he is content hanging out in the same room as you. When you have sat down on the couch to unwind, or lay down in bed, Rhys will gently come seek you out and spend time with you. He would love to lay on your lap and give you his special deep purrs. Special and rewarding to those willing to give this boy a chance! He doesn't like to be picked up much yet, but he loves chin scratches and being loved on. He is starting to head bunt more and roll on his back when he is happy to see his foster parents. Based on Rhys's interactions with other temporary fosters, we feel confident that Rhys will transition into a new home just fine. He will be shy at first, but within those first two weeks, what a difference you will notice! Rhys is a very low maintenance cat. He has no health problems and is a very well behaved little boy. His meow still sounds so little and cute, just like a kitten. We mean it when we say he is just a baby. Although he may be reaching his first birthday, nothing will stop him from being the cutest little baby ever! Rhys is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He has tested NEGATIVE for FIV, FeLV, and heartworms. Adopters will receive all medical documents and microchip registration information. If interested in Rhys, please submit an adoption application here: https://forms.gle/AgCWUSCFB9Y2Lefx7 Rhys Adoption Fee is $200. Never Less Cat Rescue is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We have an adoption event each month at the PetSmart in Mooresville, NC. We do not allow same day adoptions, however, approved adopters may pick up their new baby at an adoption event. This requires a previously submitted and approved adoption application as well as completed and returned adoption paperwork. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at neverlesscatrescue@gmail.com.

Story
This little cutie is looking for her forever home! Meet Sage, a sweet older kitten, born late May of 2024, who is just an absolute darling. She is one of a litter of 5 that made their way to the rescue. This specific litter has a trademark sweetness and there is no short supply of that with Ms. Sage! Sage will be available to meet in person at our adoption events located in Mooresville, NC. She is shy during these events and some first introductions, but she warms up so quickly! Within a day she will be sleeping with you in bed and asking for all the pets and nuzzles. Her foster parents affectionately call her a "little lemur". Shes a sweet girl who still loves to play and gets along great with other friendly kitties and animals! Sage has been in a foster home with a dog that has no interest in interacting with the cats and she does fine alongside her. Sage has not been around any other dog. With that being said, a dog or another animal that may need some adjusting to is perfectly okay with Sage. She can remain reserved till everyone is comfortable and knows one another! Sage spends most of her time tagging along after her foster parents around the house. She is SO happy to be a lap kitty and loves being pet and getting chin and back scratches. Sage is not a very chatty kitty, but she will talk back to you when shes wanting something! This is usually for you to love on her, but she cannot lie, she might ask for treats here and there. Can you blame her? Sage is looking for a forever home with or without other animals in the home. She really would love to have someone to be as obsessed with her as she can be with them. The more people to love her, the merrier, but not a requirement! This little lady is an absolute delight and not high maintenance one bit. She is happy to play with other fur friends and you or be your own special little buddy. If interested in adopting Sage, please fill out an adoption application here: https://forms.gle/AgCWUSCFB9Y2Lefx7 Sage has been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She has tested NEGATIVE for FIV, FeLV, and heartworms. Adopter will go home with all vet records and microchip registration information. Please Note: we do not approve same day adoptions at our adoption events. Approved adopters are allowed to pick up their new baby at the adoption event. This requires an application submitted in advance with approval of adoption given by the rescue in advance with all paperwork signed and returned. If you have any questions, please contact us at neverlesscatrescue@gmail.com. Upcoming Adoption Events @ PetSmart - Mooresville, NC: February 16th + March 16th + April 13th
