PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email.

Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. KOALA was saved by an independent rescuer back in late 2021. She was young. Well fast forward to 1 year ago, the lady was killed by a drunk driver. We were asked to help with her rescues and to our dismay, her house was a horrific hoarding case. We pulled 55 cats that were still alive. Our rescue took 26 of those cats into out rescue. KOALA is the eight one to be ready for adoption. And still with us after a year. KOALA can be shy at first. She gets comfortable very quick and is curious about everything.

This brave, energetic cat is waiting for a forever home where her unique personality can shine. Adopt KOALA and let her fill your life with laughter, love, and endless amusement.

One was 8 weeks old. DAMEON and his 4 siblings (BAELON - VISERYS - AEMOND - AEGON) were turned in to the shelter as strays. But by their mannerisms and as healthy as they were, we believe they were kittens born to a domestic mama cat. These guys are the absolute sweetest kittens ever!

His independent streak shines through his curiosity, leading him on goofy adventures that will leave you laughing. DAMEON's intelligence and playfulness make every day a joy. He's energetic, always ready for a game of chase-the-laser. But don't be fooled, he loves his cuddle time too. Loyal to a fault, DAMEON can be a bit picky with his feline friends, preferring to be your one and only. His outgoing nature makes him the perfect companion for any home. Adopt DAMEON, not just because he will bring laughter and love into your life, but because every cat deserves a forever home where they are cherished. DAMEON is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / ABYSSINIAN-TABBY MIX. He is over 1 year and 9 months. He is with dogs and Guinea pigs. He has never been around young children but has been with pre-teens.

**Meet Stevie and Mr. Clarence: Best Friends Seeking a Forever Home Together!** **Stevie** and **Mr. Clarence** have formed an incredible bond, and now they're looking for a special home where they can stay together forever. **Mr. Clarence**, born 2021, a handsome 3-year-old Abyssinian mix, had a rough start in life. He was extremely shy and hissy when he first came to our rescue and preferred the safety of his cage. After a brief adoption that didn't work out, Mr. Clarence returned to us, still unsure and timid. But everything changed when he met Stevie. With Stevie by his side, Mr. Clarence found the courage to come out of his shell. Now, these two are inseparable, often found sleeping next to each other, providing comfort and companionship to one another. **Stevie** born 2017, is a sweet and mellow 7-year-old brown tabby who has spent his entire life waiting for someone to see just how special he is. He had an eye issue long ago, but it's fine now, and despite being FIV+ (which doesn't require any medication), Stevie is a healthy, affectionate boy who loves to be petted and adores his treats. His gentle nature makes him the perfect companion for someone looking for a loving, laid-back friend. We are looking for an experienced adopter, or someone with a lot of patience and love to offer. These two boys deserve a home where they can feel safe and cherished. They need someone who understands that love and attention will help them continue to blossom and thrive. In return, Stevie and Mr. Clarence will shower you with double the affection and gratitude. Adopting this pair will not only give them the chance at a real, forever home but also fill your life with the joy and warmth only two best friends can bring. Are you ready to make a big difference in the lives of Stevie and Mr. Clarence? They can't wait to meet you and start their new adventure together!

Abby (born June 2024) is a sweet, and intelligent gal who thoughtfully reads the room before jumping into play. With time, her shyness melts and she becomes a dynamic ball of playfulness. Abby is intrigued to watch and learn from her human (or another fun kitty like her brother, Benji). Show her your yoga pose, and she will thoughtfully curl up and study from the side of the mat. Stream your fave tv show or delve into a book, and she will stretch out nearby gazing at you. Abby has a beautiful ticked tabby coat. We think she is an Abyssinian mix. She loves climbing kitty scratching posts and trees and playing interactively with a wand or track ball toy. A cat tree or wall mount is her fortress from which she observes the world and feels safe. In a warm and loving home, Abby’s confidence will shine, and she will delight with her rambunctious, resilient energy. Your patience and love will be rewarded with cuddles and purrs as she rolls in your lap.

This very distinguished gent is just a great guy. He has a very chill personality, except when it comes to food. He LOVES to eat. If he had his way, he would dine ten times a day. He was surrendered to our rescue by a couple who could no longer care for him. His “special need” is that he is deaf. He is sweet, loves to be in a lap, playful, gets along with our other fosters and is very self confident. In short, a normal cat with a terrific personality. It took him less than a week to decide he was ready for our other fosters to meet him. He hopped out, made the rounds to say hi and integrated himself as if he has lived with us his whole life. If you would like to meet Stanley, visit our website at southerncountiesrescue.org and complete an adoption questionnaire. He would make an awesome addition to any family.

Yeti is a quiet kitty who wants to be loved. He was rescued of the street a few months ago looking very sad even with his pretty blue eyes. It was obvious someone had abandoned him and he did not know how to survive outside. Yeti gets along great with other friendly cats. If they are aggressive to him he hides. He is also good with people but I think small noisy playful children may be too much. Yeti deserves a home with someone who will love him and never abandon him. He can be adopted to be buddies to your cat, with one of his foster cat friends or as your only buddy if you are home a lot. Yeti has been a sweet natured kitty from day one. The vet estimates him to be around 2 years old. Now he is waiting for you, all vetted - healthy, neutered, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, fully vaccinated, dewormed, flea free and microchipped. Please complete the adoption questionnaire at this link to arrange a meeting and to learn more about Yeti - https://fs20.formsite.com/SouthernCountiesRescue/Application/index.html Personality traits Friendly, Smart, Brave, Curious, Quiet, Quiet, Funny
