Story

Link is 5 years old and I have had him since he was a kitten. He is one of the sweetest cats you will ever meet. He is not shy around strangers and will go right up to you and sit on your lap if you let him. If you feel like cuddling, just call him over and he will happily sit on your lap! He is very affectionate as well as very energetic! He loves being pet and chasing toys. He loves doing "cat-acro" where I put him on my feet and he hangs out in the air! I am rehoming him only because I am about to be traveling full-time and unfortunately just won't be able to care for him.

Story

Monkey and Meatball are a pair of bonded brothers that were born to a feral cat colony in May 2023. A nice local lady began feeding them, and over time taught them to love and trust humans. In spring of 2024, Monkey was bit by a copperhead snake and needed emergency medical treatment. The nice lady took him to the vet and them brought him inside her home to recover as a foster. Still outside, Monkey's brother Meatball stopped eating and roaming, he missed his brother so badly. The lady then brought Meatball inside to foster him as well, and the brothers were so relieved to be reunited. These sweet, affectionate boys are now neutered, vaccinated and well adjusted to the comfy inside cat life. They love mouse-shaped catnip toys and to be carried around the house like the big ol babies they are. They need a quiet home with lots of windows to watch birds, a good cat tree climb, and their own person to shower them in snuggles. These boys are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Story

Make room in your lap, here I come! My name is Minou (French for "kitty") or Minnie for short. I am the quintessential kitten. I give everything the perfect kitten can provide. Unending love and kisses for my people. Everlasting lap visits, complete with non-stop purring! I love to play with you, with crinkly paper or toys. I will follow you everywhere and snuggle under your covers at night if you like. I know how to sleep quietly in another room if you prefer. During the day I am a gravity-defying center of energy except when snoozing between your legs or on your shoulder. I am learning not to leap onto the counters at a single bound, but I am very capable of this super-kitty feat! Curiosity is my middle name. I explore and play-hunt. I am fearless and alert, smart, nimble and strong. I will be your ever-faithful fun companion. Wouldn't you like to meet me?

Story

Hi! This is nalo! Nalo got rehomed to me August 3rd after his previous owners were no longer able to keep him. He was previously a stray but his previous owners and vet suspect he is around 2 years old. He loves to make biscuits, play fight, bite your feet through blankets, and play chase! He is the sweetest kitty however he does not get along with other cats. His previous owner said he got along with cats in short periods but for me, he stalks my cats and chases them around the house, which is the reason I am no longer keeping him. He has total only child energy so a home with no cats is ideal! I do not have dogs however his previous owners said he is totally fine with them. I was also told he was totally okay with children. He’s such a love bug, he just needs a home where he can be the center of your attention! I can give toys, scratch posts, a food bowl, and a litter box to whoever is able to take him.

Story

Ash has had at least 3 litters of Kittens and had her last kittens in July. She was at a home that didn't feed her regularly and never planned on getting her spayed. I took Mom and Kittens to have her spayed and rehome her and her Kittens. I would keep them myself, but I have Stage 4 Cancer and live with my sister who has 3 dogs and is highly allergic to cats. I currently have Ash in one room in order to keep her safe from the dogs and away from my sister who was kind to even let me take them into her home. This a Momma cat is a wonderful, happy, now healthy, very affectionate cat, who is a wonderful Mom but she is getting spayed on October 16 and so I will keep her through then and a couple weeks so I know she is completely healed. My hope for her is to find a loving and caring 4ever home with pet parents who will care for her and adore her like she deserves.

Story

Originally adopted from the Wake SPCA in 2022, Sable has been a fearless daredevil from the start! After only a couple days being adopted as a three-month-old kitten, Sable was practically best buddies with her dog sister who was at least double her size! While Sable doesn’t like being outside in a fenced in backyard (and closely monitored), she LOVES exploring in the garage, if you let her out there. And, considering her best friend is of the K-9 breed, who said cats and dogs had to be enemies? Unfortunately, Sable does not get along with other cats as well. She loves all humans, but would truly thrive in a one-cat household (and a slow introduction to a new dog best friend)!

Story

Kaiser is a loving boy who enjoys cuddling. He was born on a farm in Massachusetts and adopted to our family as a kitten. He has lived with our family for 11 years. Kaiser has had cat and dog siblings, and sweetly welcomed our baby girl. He is a bit shy and may hide, but will come out when he is comfortable. He does best in a quieter home. We love him dearly, but my allergies have worsened substantially. We are hopeful of finding him a loving home.

Wonderful cat but, we have been told by our apartment that we can only have 2 pets.

Story

Meet Fin, an affectionate, sensitive soul that gets along with any other cat he's met! SUPER friendly and totally chill. He loves the ribbon wand! He can jump crazy high while chasing the ribbons. He enjoys playing fetch with toy mice and running through the cat tunnel to chase thrown mice. His brother, Fig, loves to wrestle with this guy and they have playful chirps while messing around. We really like that we can pick up this guy and gives him lots of love that he deserves. He enjoys being held and petted on his head and along his back. The window is a favorite spot to watch outside - we have a nice tree line behind his current home with deer, lots of birds, outdoor cat watching, and sooo many birds to chirp at through the glass. Fin enjoys lying next to Fig for cat naps as well. With his playful spirit and insatiable curiosity, Fin promises to bring endless joy and laughter to his new family. If you're in search of furry friends to brighten your days and warm your heart, look no further than Fin and Fig - they're ready to sprinkle your home with love and playfulness.
