Story

We got Gilbert in 2016 from Nashville. He was 5 then, so he is probably around 12 now. He's been nothing but a perfect sweetheart. Loves cuddling and being pet. Very affectionate. Not shy around people. We recently learned that our newborn daughter is allergic to cats, that is the only reason why we reluctantly give him up. We are simply looking for a home where he'll be loved and cared for.

Story

I found pachi a month old on the street I took him in to my care and I couldn’t have asked for a better companion for the past 13 months. He’s a very sweet mellow boy who loves to eat and cuddle. Unfortunately I can’t keep him due to personal reasons and it breaks my heart having to give him up but he needs a loving home and hopefully that can be you.

Charlie

American Shorthair

Male, 6 yrs

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Charlie is a warm, friendly, cuddlebug whose favorite place is snuggled in your lap, purring deeply, with his paws resting on your arms. When he wandered to a Good Samaritan's front door, it was clear he was a special guy, standing on his tippy toes with his chin up desperate for human affection. He feels comfortable with people quickly and loves staying close to humans during the day. Charlie is a sweet, smart, chatty 6ish-year old who is FIV-positive and would be perfect for someone who wants to give him a loving home after living as a stray. He's a healthy boy, and even recently went through a full dental!! Charlie uses the litter box perfectly and even comes with free pet insurance (donated from his current foster) to the new adopter. A note FIV cats live normal lives, and new research shows FIV cats live safely with non-FIV cats indoors. FIV simply means they have a lower immune system. This is easy to manage with keeping FIV cats inside and providing good nutrition. Charlie is available for meet and greets prior to adoption!

Story

Panther & Tiger tried so hard to survive together outside. This is a heartwarming tale of a bonded pair of cats who protected and cared for each other while living on the cruel city streets. Panther was found living near a church parking lot. She couldn’t walk very far and needed medical attention for an injured hip & leg, most likely from being hit by a car. Tiger stayed by her side, letting her always eat first, and making sure she stayed safe. We rescued Panther first, and quickly realized she would never do well outside. With medical care, her leg healed, and she can now get around just fine. Tiger stayed outside, but unfortunately, didn’t do well without his partner. He stopped eating, lost weight, became lethargic and laid in the street. We knew the two cats must stay together. We then rescued Tiger and found the best foster home for acclimating both cats to inside life. Panther and Tiger love softness, peace and being together where they feel safe. They’re now ready for the next chapter of socialization!! We’re looking for an experienced socializer or adopter who will continue to work with Panther & Tiger. Our vet even tagged Panther as "cuddle material". Both cats have it in them to blossom with time and patience. It’s such a rewarding experience to give rescued cats a second chance of life. Panther & Tiger are low maintenance cats, use the litter box, love to play, look out the window at birds, and are happy as long as they're together. They're fixed, vaccinated and overall health is good. This bonded pair will do best in a calm household with someone who is looking for adult bonded cats, allowing Panther and Tiger to live out their senior years in a loving home!

Story

Taco and Yen are the sweetest cats ever. They’ve been together since they were kittens so they MUST stay together. They will be very shy and hide at first but after a few days they will warm up. They eat both dry and wet food and looooove to eat. The adopter must update me every month or two to see how they are doing. Yen is female. Taco is male. They are both fixed.
