Story
Steak is a very quiet and loving cat. She is 1 and a half years old and I adopted her from the Charleston Animal Society. She has all shots and vaccinations and I can provide the records. She probably would prefer a home with no other pets or children but they told me she is socialized to both at the shelter. I am giving her away for free because she deserves a loving home. I cannot bring her with me as I am planning a big move over seas to be with my wife. She will come with a large litterbox, cat carrier, her favorite blanket, a food and water bowl, and whatever extra cat food I may have on hand at the time of adoption.

Story
Grayson’s journey began as a kitten adopted from a shelter. Unfortunately, he soon found himself left behind at a horse barn, where a kind woman took him in. Already caring for six cats, she rehomed him with a family in an apartment complex. 2 years later, the family felt Grayson wasn’t connecting with them, adopted a new kitten, and put Grayson outside permanently. When they moved away, he was left behind. We rescued Grayson a year ago, but our two resident cats still struggle to fully accept him. Though they can eat peacefully side by side, unexpected encounters sometimes lead to scuffles. Grayson, now 3 yo, often seeks refuge in cozy hiding spots like boxes, closets, and even a five-gallon bucket. Grayson is a sweet, independent soul who loves affection on his terms. He meows eagerly at feeding time and enjoys catnip, pole toys and lasers. Grayson needs a loving home to finally relax

The adoption fee for cats/kittens is $150 and includes age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, deworming, starting prevention and will be fixed with our vet when able! If interested in adopting a kitten apply directly via our website at www.dustytailsaniamlrescue.org All kittens are in foster homes so we will need an approved application on file to connect interested families with the fosters for meet and greets.

Story
This incredible little guy was a starving street cat when we met last Summer. He would come to our back porch asking for love rather than food, & when we rescued him he was near death. He is now a fully healthy, house trained, happy, loving, and playful kitty. He loves absolutely loves his cat bed, chasing his tail, watching TV & is a professional biscuit maker. He gets the zoomies playing with his string toys & laser, but his favorite thing in the world is getting pets from us. Words cannot express how incredibly affectionate & loving he is, truly one of the sweetest cats you will ever met. :) He is FIV+. His vet has said he can live a long and happy life. He will just need some extra love & TLC with his vet care. He can be in a home (indoor only) with dogs, a solo household or a household with other FIV+ Cats. He is fully vaccinated, neutered & microchipped. If you are interested in adopting this absolutely incredible little kitty and becoming his forever family please reach out.

These pups are in Charleston, South Carolina too!

Story
Boob is a quiet, but also kind of has wild tendencies about her. She loves the outdoors. I think she would benefit from someone with a large outdoor area maybe even a barn she’s used to being inside, but she’ll stare out the windows all day she’ll go outside, maybe once a week she’s not getting along with the other cats at the house but that’s because one of the cats was picking on her and it kind of made her defensive. She loves cuddling and loves attention and encouragement and comfort so she’s kind of wild and also a baby at the same time. She is adorable and unique but she will definitely need space and time to heal from being defensive from the other cats.

Story
Hi there! My name is Olivia-Kate and I am looking for a new loving home. I am 7 years old, and will be turning 8 years old in July 2025. I spent most of my life not around children or other animals and will need a home that doesn’t have either. I was a rescue cat so I am shy around new people and prefer to spend most of my day sleeping by myself. I would do best in a home where someone could make me their only pet and give me all the attention I desire. I have a lot of love to give and love sitting on your lap for pets. I am petite, have a beautiful gray/white coat, and a big heart. I am healthy, have been spayed, and have been well cared. I am declawed and house trained so I cannot be an outside cat.
