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
Trix is a super sweet tuxedo kitty who doesn't let her missing leg slow her down. We've had her for 2.5 years after adopting her from a shelter and our other kitty does not get along with her. We've tried everything to get our tabby to get along and nothing worked. We love Trix. She loves to be pet and will come right up demanding pets. She is good around kids and allows our 3 year old to pet her. She is vocal and loves to have conversations. She does have a touch of that tuxedo sass but it only shows up in her dislike of being picked up and the occasional warning nibble if she doesn't want to be pet. She loves to play with pretty much anything she can find and also loves to run around. She is capable of going up and down stairs and does not have any issues getting around due to her missing leg. You will never find her on one of your counters because that is the only thing high enough she can't jump up on ( she can get up onto chairs and the cat tower fine).

Story
These guys just showed up on my porch one day, running away from kids. They were very skittish initially but warmed up to me and my family as we kept interacting with them while they ate. A person with enough patience will definitely be rewarded with some cuddly and playful friends. Kids around our neighborhood would chase them around, so preferably anyone who doesn't have kids would be great. The white kitten has been adopted, but the grey and mom are still available! ♡ More pictures upon request! The website is glitchy when attempting to upload.

Charlie is such a sweet boy! Rescued off the streets of Savannah, GA. Approximately 8 months old. Up-to-date on all shots and neutered. He is so cuddly and playful. I really wish I could keep him, but he does not get along with my other cats.

Story
Rex is a sweet very playful and active kitty. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle at bedtime. I first met Rex wandering around my neighbors house and fed him a biscuit, the rest is history. He needs lots of love and attention and I cannot provide that environment for him. I have 2 other cats and I just moved to a smaller living space. He hasn’t been happy w/ the cramped living arrangements and unfortunately this is the only space I can afford right now. He needs a home where he gets consistent schedule and lots of TLC. If you want a lovely cat with the heart of gold, he’s the little furbaby for you.

Callie is a sweet cat, she's about 8 years old and will mostly relax on her own. Loves to be around people. She has cataracts and is going blind but does pretty well with her space once she's used to it. Sweet and loving but shy at first.

Story
Chester has, until now, had a hard life. He lived in a colony outside for years. The lady feeding the colony requested euthanasia when he tested positive for both Feline AIDS and Feline Leukemia. Despite the diagnosis, Chester is healthy and vigorous. He is a healthy weight, has clear eyes, eats well, uses his litter box, and plays with his toys. He is also very loving and craves attention, which of course he did not get all those years of living outside. We know that Chester still has a lot of love to give to the right family. Please help us help him. For more information or an adoption application, contact Nancy Foltz at 704-616-4904 or NEFoltz@Yahoo.com
