Snowshoe kittens & cats in Raleigh, North Carolina

Greetings, fellow literature enthusiasts! My name is Shelby, and I`m a shy yet endearingly stubborn feline ready to curl up with you and explore the wonders of the written word. As a self-proclaimed bookworm, I spend my days nestled in cozy corners, patiently waiting for the next chapter of my adventure. While I may seem a bit reserved at first, I promise that once I warm up to you, you`ll discover a loyal and affectionate companion who loves nothing more than sharing a good story. So, if you`re looking for a furry friend to join you on your literary escapades, I`d be delighted to be your muse.How did I get here? Transferred from York County Animal Center where I was surrendered by my owner.**I have tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), but the good news is I can still live a long normal cat life! Speak with an adoption specialist for more information. I am currently living in a foster home - please fill out a survey and select a phone appointment to complete the adoption process. Once that process is complete, your adoption specialist will schedule a time for you to meet me in person!**~My adoption fee is $65.00.~

Meet Nyx, a charming and affectionate Siamese cat with a personality as vibrant as his striking blue eyes. Nyx is a true companion, always ready to snuggle up and share his warmth and love. He’s known for his boundless curiosity and playful nature, which often earns him the nickname Rocket—his jumps during playtime are legendary! Despite his confident leaps, Nyx has a tender, cautious side. This skittishness, endearing and unmistakable, has led to the nickname Skidders. His moments of surprise are as cute as they are quick, leaving you smiling every time. Whether it’s a door opening abruptly or a bid for attention, his bursts of energy and skittishness result in a sliding, bounding, and goofily entertaining kitty. True to the Siamese reputation, Nix is incredibly vocal. He loves to have conversations and will make sure you know when he needs attention or has something important to say. This talkative trait has earned him the affectionate moniker Yapper-doodle—a fitting tribute to his adorable chatterbox ways. He loves food and will even sit and stay for treats at night while chattering all the way. He will be your shadow cat as he is friendly and gentle, wanting your touch, kisses, and cuddles. He will paw for your pets and understands to be gentle with his claws when pulling your hand to his head. This has earned him the name Buddy. He has no problem curling up on your lap, in bed, or anywhere else you let him. Whether he's leaping to new heights, yapping for your affection, or skittering across the room, Nix is a bundle of joy that fills your home with love and laughter. Nyx would thrive best in a calm home as a solo cat and with a family that is home often. He possibly would enjoy a sweet calm dog who is cat friendly. He would love a home where his humans work from home and can give him lots of attention, playtime, and love.

Sophie 2 was surrendered to the rescue in the summer of 2023, and at first, she was quite fearful and heartbroken at having lost the only family she’d ever known. Under the loving care of the staff at the Goathouse, Sophie 2 has begun to shed some of her shyness, and we hope to find her a wonderful, true forever home where she can live out her golden years. Sophie 2 would love nothing more than a sunny, quiet space to call her own, with a family seeking a sweet, gentle companion.Approx. DOB: 07/20/2009

Sasha and Nicki are 5 year old pure Chocolate Point Siamese cats and would need to be adopted together. They are siblings and a bonded pair, very affectionate and playful and would do well with kids. They are both healthy (no special diet), well behaved, know not to jump on counters, and will not take your food even if left unattended. They have not been around other animals. They have been with our family since they were kittens, but some recent life changes mean that we can no longer care for them. They are amazing cats and we're sad to let them go. Sasha is the girl, who has the sweetest face and a silent meow. She is the calmer of the two and the most likely to sit in your lap while you’re reading or watching tv. Nicki is the boy, who is shy at first, but once he warms up to you he is the more curious and playful of the two. He’ll follow you around the house, keep you company, and bring you his favorite string when he wants to play.
