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

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.

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.

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).

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

BACKGROUND: Simba became one year old in mid-October 2024 and he is a very very sweet, curious, yet timid cat. I found him through a facebook group and adopted him at 8-10 weeks old. He was rescued by someone on the cat rehome facebook group and was feral outside till he was rescued. SIMBA PERSONALITY: He is super sweet. Anytime someone keeps him (Vet, Groomers, Friends) they complement how sweet and affectionate he is. He takes a while to open up to people, he does not run up to strangers and rather watch people from a distance before he interacts. When he is comfortable, he is a big cuddler, follower, and talker. NEW HOME: Simba's ideal home would be completely indoors, he is not accustomed to outside and isn't curious about anything beyond the front door. He would do well with another cat and children after proper introductions.

American Shorthair

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Gary is a 3-year-old, fun-loving cat we adopted as a kitten from the Humane Society. He’s playful, snuggly, and very vocal, bringing lots of personality to any home. While Gary was once an indoor/outdoor cat, he’s become more territorial as he’s aged, especially with other cats. When kept indoors, his territorial behavior decreases, but he clearly longs to be outside. We believe Gary would thrive in a home where he can be both an indoor and outdoor cat. Due to his territorial nature, he’d do best as the only cat. He gets along well with our other male cat but has had issues with other cats. Gary loves to play and cuddle and will make a great companion for someone who can offer him the attention and outdoor access he craves. If you’re looking for a sweet, vocal kitty to bring joy to your home, Gary might be the perfect match!

Story

My niece found Dollar outside the Dollar General in Mint Hill/Charlotte. We agreed to share the fostering responsibilities until we can find her a home. She is very cuddly, affectionate and playful. We hate to let her go, but we are both away from home so much, so we are not the best pet parents. She still needs shots and spaying. She is about 8-9 months old. Free to good home. If you can make a contribution, that would be great, to help offset our expenses, but not necessary. We just want to find a good, loving home for her. Angela Parker

Chester

British Shorthair

Good with kids, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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
