Story
We found this sweet girl in our backyard in Cary. She's very clearly a people-cat; loves my entire family, and so good with our young daughter. Sweet, gentle demeanor, gorgeous markings, and has a wonderful chirp to greet people. We can't keep her, as we're already at full cat capacity here, but she will make an amazing family pet.

Story
Due to unforeseen circumstances we find ourselves having to Rehome our sweet kitty, she has been with us since she was a kitten. Luna may take some time warming up to a new environment and people but once she does she loves to sit on your lap and just sleep. Especially if there are blankets involved, she loves to chase lasers and go after anything crinkly. She likes to find a “spot” and just stays there most of the time if cuddles aren’t an option. She’s fine with our 80 dog, and we used to have another cat that passed away a few years ago who she tolerated.. she’s not a huge fan of other cats but after an adjustment period has been fine with anything. We have an infant who had pulled her tail a few times and she will meow but hasn’t done anything past that so I believe she may do better in a home with no small children. She is 7 years old and is mostly black, she has a white spot on her chest and belly, she is on the smaller side maybe 7-10 lbs.

Story
If you're looking for a new best kitty friend, look no further *if you are okay being a one cat household. Doc has been with our family since he was 12 weeks old. He was a foster that we decided to adopt. For the first several months, all was well. However, Doc began developing aggression toward some of our other cats. We have worked with a behaviorist, had him medically evaluated, and tried medication to no avail. The conclusion has been made that he needs to be an only cat. Doc absolutely loves humans and is super affectionate! He wants to be a part of whatever the humans are doing. He sits in a chair during dinner and gets right in the center of game night. Doc is healthy and has no other behavior issues. This decision is heart wrenching, but we need to do what's best for Doc and our other cats. We are committed to supporting his adopters through the transition.

We have had Diona for 9 months and we love her so much, she is so sweet and she loves being pet. We don't have the right environment for her and we want her to be as happy as possible. She has been a indoor cat her whole life. We have had her since she was a kitten. We are devastated to put her up for adoption but we know she deserves a family who can give her what she needs.

Story
Smoky is an 8 year old precious and friendly 3-legged cat. She loves to be close by for snuggles and pets. She loves to be brushed, rubbed around her neck, and under her jaw. Her 3 legs don’t slow her down and she’s great with stairs, hoping on and off beds, etc. Smoky likes to be close by but she also likes a little alone time here and there. She used to have another cat friend in the home and she had no issues! She does well around babies and toddlers, but mostly keeps to herself or hangs out in another room when youngsters are around. She’s shy at first, but once you get to know her, she loves a good chat and to keep you company! We’re looking to find her a home before mid-December, before the arrival of our second baby.

These pups are in Apex, North Carolina too!

Story
We adopted Luna from the SPCA when she was a kitten. She is now 3 years old and is a beautiful and sweet, though somewhat timid cat. It breaks our heart to give her away, but our children have allergies that have progressively gotten worse over time. She is very friendly with cats, dogs, and humans. She plays a lot with her "sister" (our other adopted orange tabby cat we got at the same time), but they are not bonded. She adores our kids (ages 6, 11, and 13). She loves to hang out with them and just chill nearby. We also have a dog and she loves her so much (see pics). She is super relaxed and very independent. She does not meow much and is very well mannered. Luna would be a great addition to any family, with or without kids, with or without other pets, but she would do best in a calm house. Also available is our other cat, Jojo, who is also listed on this website. We would love for them both to go to one family if possible!
