Story
Tink is a stray cat that started visiting us this summer. He is extremely affectionate and loves to be brushed and petted. He’s always happy to see us and has his long tail sticking straight up! He doesn’t meow much but when he does, you can barely hear him. Tink was neutered and had his first vaccines on 11/12. He has been on a flea prevention program for two months. Unfortunately, Tink is FIV positive and needs to be an indoor cat only. We have two other cats with FIV and they have lived long and healthy lives! I would absolutely love to keep this cat but I am a Mother to five other indoor cats. Tink will go to his new owner with a supply of food. Thank you for looking!!!!

Story
This baby is so social...he was born inside and handled since birth. Alvin and his siblings, Simon, Theo, and Cleo are so chill. They would be awesome additions to any family. They are used to cats and dogs!! Alvin is just at 8 weeks and is undergoing his kitten booster shots. He is available for adoption and his neuter is scheduled for end of August/September when is older. We would only adopt Alvin out with a sibling or to a family with another kitty. We give an awesome discount for 2 so you have twice the love. Alvin will thrive best with a play-buddy to help socialize him and grow up knowing how hard to play and interact with other kitties. Kittens learn this from their fur brothers and sisters!! To meet Alvin and his gang please email info@angelstotheanimals.org or Edenlake1@yahoo.com Must be 22 to apply.

Story
Hi, I'm Petunia. I'm probably about 14-16 weeks old and I'm a tortoiseshell kitty. I was living on the streets and I absolutely love, Love, LOVE living inside. I'm a little timid at first but I warm up to people pretty quick. My foster mom say that after I get to know you, I'm just a total love bug. I really like playing with the other kitties in my foster home. I'm not sure if I've meet a dog or kids but I bet I'd like them too - I'm pretty easy going. I have been spayed and up-to-date on my shots. I've been deflead and dewormed! I'm really healthy. I would love to meet you. Do you want to meet me? If you are interested in me, please email info@angelstotheanimals.org for an application and more info!! You must be 22 to apply. Rehoming fee is $135.

Story
We adopted Ruby from a Charlotte shelter when she was 6 weeks old. She is now 4.5 years old. In the last few months she has become aggressive, especially towards me (hissing and wanting to scratch or bite me). She has also went after my wife and kids. Normally she just likes to lay around like any cat. She does not like to be pet, although she loves to be brushed, especially when she is eating. She is a strictly indoor house cat. She was never outside. Ruby loves to rub against your legs and loves her treats. My vet cleared her of any health issues. I was told she would make a great barn cat or may like to convert to an outdoor cat.

Linus and Lucy are a bonded pair. They are very social and friendly. They will run to answer door when visitors come. They are approx 4 years old and are up to date on shots and spayed/neutered and microchipped. I am heart broken that I need to let them go due to health issues. They are good with dogs and other cats. They are currently indoor cats but would prefer to be in and out. If you are looking for friendly snuggly cats these two are for you.

Story
Hi there! This beautiful fur baby deserves the best. She's incredibly sweet and full of purrs. Her fur is super healthy & silky and her eyes are clear and golden amber colored. She's been the 1st to do everything and she's highly inquisitive & intelligent with an awesome personality. She's Fully litter box trained and accustomed to using scratching posts and cardboard scratchers. She came to us when one of our elderly neighbors passed away and his kitty was pregnant (we are foster Mama too). We estimate her age at approx 12 -14 weeks.
