Valerie

Domestic Shorthair

Female, 4 yrs 8 mos

Gastonia, NC

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Valerie is 2 - 3 years old; we are not sure. She was found outside in a cat colony where a rescue group was feeding. But Valerie was very tame and affectionate. Her foster family describes her as the sweetest, most loving cat. She loves to be picked up and rubs her head against your neck. She is living with other cats in her foster home and would probably prefer a more calm environment. She wants all of the attention from her humans. She did test positive for feline FIV but negative for leukemia. She can live as long as cats which do not have the disease (please check online), cannot spread to to other pets unless there is a deep bite (not spread through grooming, sharing food, water or litter boxes) and cannot spread to humans.

Timothy was a stray and was not in good shape when he was rescued. Now he is inside and loves it. He has eaten himself to a healthy weight of 7.5 lbs and has all of his vet services.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Arlo was found in a parking lot with other community cats. Even though the colony was being fed, Arlo was starving because of dental problems. He was rescued and received all of his vet services, including having 7 teeth pulled so now he can eat without pain. He is perfectly handsome and healthy, although he has tested positive for FIV. This is not a deadly disease, and is not spread to humans or other cats, even if sharing food and water bowls. Arlo is estimated to be 6 years old. He is very affectionate and loving. He wags his tail like a dog when he is being petted. Contact Nancy Foltz at 704-616-4904 or NEFoltz@Yahoo.com for an application or questions about Arlo.

Story

Curly is a lovely little guy with short length fur and tufted ears. He is named for his curly whiskers. He is not a pure bred cat, but we believe he has some Maine Coon mixed in his genes. He is about 4 months old and has always been inside. He is one of a litter of 7 and the family providing shelter to the mom and kittens cannot keep this many. Curly would be a wonderful family pet. Your adoption fee will cover all vet expenses at our Low Cost Clinic. For more information, contact Nancy Foltz at 704-616-4904 or NEFoltz@Yahoo.com.

Bitsy is a lovely little girl. She is about 3 months old and has always been inside. She is one of a litter of 7 and the family providing shelter to the mom and kittens cannot keep this many. Bitsy would be a wonderful family pet. This photo does not do her justice. We will get better ones. He would be a perfect pair with any of her siblings: Skye, Wonder, Curly, Olympia, Checkers or Ziggy. Your adoption fee will cover all vet expenses at our Low Cost Clinic.

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##

Story

Tink is a stray cat that started visiting us this summer. He is extremely affectionate and loves to be brushed and petted. He’s always happy to see us and has his long tail sticking straight up! He doesn’t meow much but when he does, you can barely hear him. Tink was neutered and had his first vaccines on 11/12. He has been on a flea prevention program for two months. Unfortunately, Tink is FIV positive and needs to be an indoor cat only. We have two other cats with FIV and they have lived long and healthy lives! I would absolutely love to keep this cat but I am a Mother to five other indoor cats. Tink will go to his new owner with a supply of food. Thank you for looking!!!!
