Story
Zero is about 2 years old and is nothing but a love bug of a cat. He is a true tuxedo cat in his nature - he's the boss. He loves big dogs and will rub up on them for snuggles. He does great around kiddos and gets along with the other cats in the house. When he gets really excited or you're petting him the right way he will start to drool a little. All he wants is attention, love, and food! Zero LOVES foods - dry and wet. He will play with wand toys, cat balls, catnip, but mostly wants to hang out with the humans and be pet. Zero is litter box trained. He is eatling Authority Urinary Care dry food and a variety of wet food by Authority and Simply Nourish. The Urinary Care food is not a prescription food it is just a preventative food - he would more than likely do well on any other brand. (Males cats are more susceptible to UTIs and blockages this is why we use this food.) Please let us know if you're interested in being Zero's furever home. <3

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
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.
