Story
Jiji loves to sunbathe and lay on whatever surface the sun is hitting. She loves reaching for treats and butt scratches. She’s a typical black cat: Loves to chase and hunt things (baby pacifiers and bottle nipples, as of late). She is very loved, and it breaks my heart to have to let her go, but unfortunately our new family dynamic with our new baby makes it really hard to give her the love and care she needs. It’s very hard to keep up with her, our other cat Izzy, our two pups, an old house that refuses to stay clean and the baby. We will only rehome to the right family/person. We will include a litter box and genie (both used but will be thoroughly cleaned), 6 boxes of litter, dry food and storage containers for it, 2 boxes of wet food and treats.

Story
Dane is an affectionate 4 year old neutered male, up to date with vaccinations and vet visits. He's been frequenting my house from the neighbors a couple of houses down the street. They have a toddler and a newborn child, four dogs plus another cat. Dane is looking for a more suitable new home. He likes to be indoors at times but loves the outdoors, and would most likely be happiest in a home with some room to roam and play outdoors. He will always be inside by early evening to sleep through the night. He sports a bright orange coat, with short hair and beautiful markings, including distinctive white rings on his tail! If you're looking for the perfect indoor/outdoor cat for your home, send your application today and meet Dane! He's a special boy!

Story
Olive was a stray adopted after spending the first 6 months of her life outside. Formally indoor/outdoor, Olive has a lot of energy and loves to play (with strings, especially). She isn't exactly a lap cat, she still maintains the energy of an adopted stray cat - though she's certainly calmed down a lot in the last 9 years. She is timid and cautious and is not afraid to swipe defensively, but she is not aggressive. She will avoid conflict with other animals, opting instead to hide. I moved in with my partner 4 years ago and her 2 cats. Olive and those cats have never gotten along, to the point where we have to keep them completely separated. She has, on and off for this time, over-groomed and gone to the bathroom next to her litter box. For this reason, I think the best-case scenario would be for her to be in a home with no other animals.

Story
We got her at the Guilford County Animal Shelter (the new one) and brought her home to foster her. When we decided to adopt her, the shelter spaded her and micro-chipped her and we paid for her and brought her home. She is very loving and likes to be around people. We are senior citizens with no other pets so we have no experience with her being around children or other pets. She sleeps good, eats good and uses her litter box. And she has no fleas that we have ever seen. She loves to sit near a window and look at the birds and squirrels. Her coat is beautiful and she keeps herself clean by bathing herself. Fee includes scratching pads, toys, My Pillow cat bed and cat food.

Tutti is a sweet cat that loves to play and explore. He’s 3 years old and can be pretty energetic. I have to relocate him due to my busy schedule. I hope he can find a comfy home that will take him in with open arms.

Story
I adopted Mango from Juliet's House! He's quite the talker and will follow you around to chat. He shares every moment with you but gives you personal space. He doesn't mind strangers as long as they approach on his terms. Feed him anything with chicken and he will love you forever. He tolerates baths but doesn't like being picked up frequently. Trim his nails every two weeks to avoid the mittens!
