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

I chose Ms. Callie from a shelter in Durham 2 years ago when she was 3 months old. She is a sweet cat but doesn't like people much as she is only used to being around me. I have a new granddaughter and I don't have enough time to spend with them both. I would love for her to go to someone that has had a cat before and would give her the love and attention she deserves. I will give her bed, automatic feeder, cat tree, food, nail clippers, liter box, box pads, toys, scratching posts, liter pail & auto water bowls also.

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

Gigi- 5 years old short hair black cat (spayed). No known health concerns. I rescued her from a Florida dumpster. That's right, a genuine Florida dumpster baby. Right now she is indoor/outdoor (backyard) and loves pets and affection on her terms. She drools when she snuggles and is a master biscuit maker. Also don't mind her snoring– they don't make mini c-pap machines for cats yet. She tolerates dogs from afar and obviously does not like babies. She may do okay with older children that understand boundaries. We are rehoming due to incompatibility with our 6 month old and have exhausted all of our other options.

Story

Gorgeous gray tuxedo kitty with beautiful green eyes. A great addition to any home! Macy Gray is a cat whisperer: fellow kitties are magically attracted to her soothing personality and Macy easily befriends cats of all ages. She is a purr happy lap kitty.

Story

Juices are 4 1/2 month old kitty cat and he loves to play and be around both adults and kids as well as other cats. We have been fostering him and had thought he could be a good fit for taking with my daughter to college, but that is not going to be able to happen unfortunately. Ideally, it would be a family that can play with him and maybe even has another cat to keep him company as he loves to play with our 10-year-old veteran cat. He enjoys a clean litter box and loves to eat human food which we have to be careful about! We are looking for a loving family for him as he is a great companion ❤️

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

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.
