Story
Sweet Pea is a beautiful girl. She is a combo of tabby, a bit of Tortie and white- a Tabico. Sweet Pea was brought into rescue through our TNR, feral cat spay/neuter program. Sweet Pea was living among about 40 other cats that were all fixed through this program. She was so sweet and not in good health so we found a foster who could give her the attention she needed to grow and be healthy. She had some major hair loss the vet attributed to stress and lack of nutrition. Here's what her foster mom has to say: As you can see from some of the pictures Sweet Pea loves hanging out at the windows. That seems to be her favorite spot, unless I am home then she wants to curl up in my lap for naps. She runs and jumps and plays like a normal kitten. And loves toys!! She loves the small ones that she can toss in the air then catch or chase... and carries them around. She loves to hide under the bed and swat at your feet... be she will not scratch you! She’ll hide in other places and jump out at you then takes off running. Sweet Pea sleeps with me, sometimes she will start out laying on me... but most of the time she sleeps curled up behind my knees. She does not like to be picked up at all. She is not a huggy in your face kitty. When she curls in my lap, she sometimes rubs noses with me but that’s it. Sweet Pea is still skittish at times... if you are standing and bend down to pet her, she will shy away... I have to squat then she comes right up to me. I have taken her outside in my back yard. She does like being outside...but only if I am sitting on the back steps and she can see me. I stepped out of sight once and it did not take her long to notice I was no longer on the back steps, and she came flying back through the door. She will go out in the yard a bit, but then comes back on the steps with me. Sweet Pea now eats like a horse! She loves the Friskies shredded canned food... she still eats the dry kitten food for a snack. Her hair is slowly but surely coming back. So far... she does not like other cats!! My neighbor's cats come in my yard...she has been in the windows when they have come... she growls at them...they do not growl or hiss back at her, they like other cats. She may not do well with other cats. She is a sweet girl, and in her own way, loving. Sweet Pea needs a quiet place to land where she can blossom and grow. **Adoption fee of $140 includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org

Story
This little darling has been a Mama twice. Cat’s Cradle was finally able to get her spayed. Cindy is special needs because she had to be rushed to the emergency clinic one evening when she had a severe asthma attack. Since then she has only had one more attack and a nebulizer took care of it. We don’t think it’s going to be much of a problem. Cindy is super sweet and affectionate. She deserves someone to love and care for her... she has so much love to reciprocate. Will you be the one to give her a true forever home? In return you will get a lifetime of love filled with loud purrs! Cindy’s approximate date of birth is 1/27/19.

Story
Cleo, DSH, Blue(grey) spayed female. Est DOB 7/4/21, vaccines current Cleo was brought into the Partners for Cats fold because her owners didn’t want to pay to have her broken leg fixed. The vet called us and we agreed to take this pretty girl and pay for her leg to be removed and save her life. She is a really sweet girl who is also very smart as well as pretty. She’s a small, thin, oriental type who doesn’t bond to other kitties. She is looking for someone who needs a loving best friend. She is a sweet calm cat who loves attention. She would do well as an only cat or with other independent kitties. Don’t know about dogs, but most cats will adapt well with both dogs and children if they are well behaved. She currently lives with Jean in the South Mountain Park area, Burke County NC Her adoption fee is $75.00. A completed adoption form is required and you must be approved to adopt her. Jean can be contacted at 828-437-8769

Story
Squeaks is a beautiful orange tabby male who was born around Jan 2023. He was found with a wound on his tummy which required surgery and brought into a foster home. Squeaks was born outdoors and is shy with new folks. He lives with his foster mom and dad and their two cats. He is devoted to his foster parents. Squeaks follows them around and is a real lap cat. He is playful and loving. He loves to play with the other two cats in the household. He likes toys and would do well with any family who puts in time to gain his trust. Orange cats are thought to be friendlier and more affectionate than other cats. They tend to be snuggly. Some orange tabbies are so affectionate that they are often cat-egorized as “velcro” kitties. **Adoption fee of $140 includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org
