Story
I am the black male of two siblings. My sister's name is LuLu. We are seven months old. We enjoy playing with each other and with our toys. I love attention and getting loving but my sister, LuLu, has some differences. She requires a little more patience to come around in a new environment. I feel that we would be better if we were adopted together because of our bond and my sister needs some support from me to have a smoother adjustment to our forever home, but we can be separated if absolutely needed. If you would be interested in giving us our forever home, here is some information you would need to know: Our adoption fees would be $75 each if adopted separately, but if you would like to keep us together, the adoption fee would be reduced to 50% off to cover a portion of our expenses for the rescue. The rescue will also provide some essentials we would need in our new home.

Story
I am Lannie, the female sibling, and my brother is Linnie. We are seven months old now. We are close to looking alike but have a few color differences. Lannie has more of a silver color to him and I have more of a brown color like our momma. We enjoy playing and chasing each other. He has a more curious personality than me. Love attention and giving love while he likes to explore and play. He enjoys catching me off guard and wrestling with me. While our fosters have been awesome, we would be so excited to find our forever home. We would love to be adopted together so we could be playmates but if we absolutely need to be separated we understand. If you would be interested in giving us our forever home, here is some information you would need to know: Our adoption fees would be $75 each if adopted separately, but if you would like to keep us together, the adoption fee would be reduced to 50% off to cover a portion of our expenses for the rescue.

Story
Samantha Monte Cristo, aka Sammie, Sammich, Cristobal, among many other nicknames, is a sweet kitter. I acquired her back in April shortly after I moved into my house as an indoor only cat. She has been generally very well behaved, and is easily the sweetest cat I’ve ever owned. I can’t help that I’ve fallen in love with someone who is severely allergic (eyes swell shut if Sammie touched her) and we both agree that finding her forever home will be great since she is deserving of love and affection. She is over a year old and is super friendly once she warms up to you. She’s a bit skittish at first, but warms up to humans and dogs pretty well. She came from a multi cat house and from my understanding, wasn’t a problem cate. If AuADHD could be a feline trait, this cat would definitely have it,

This baby is so social...he was born inside and handled since birth. Alvin and his siblings, Simon, Theo, and Cleo are so chill. They would be awesome additions to any family. They are used to cats and dogs!! Alvin is just at 8 weeks and is undergoing his kitten booster shots. He is available for adoption and his neuter is scheduled for end of August/September when is older. We would only adopt Alvin out with a sibling or to a family with another kitty. We give an awesome discount for 2 so you have twice the love. Alvin will thrive best with a play-buddy to help socialize him and grow up knowing how hard to play and interact with other kitties. Kittens learn this from their fur brothers and sisters!! To meet Alvin and his gang please email info@angelstotheanimals.org or Edenlake1@yahoo.com Must be 22 to apply.

Story
Hi, I'm Petunia. I'm probably about 14-16 weeks old and I'm a tortoiseshell kitty. I was living on the streets and I absolutely love, Love, LOVE living inside. I'm a little timid at first but I warm up to people pretty quick. My foster mom say that after I get to know you, I'm just a total love bug. I really like playing with the other kitties in my foster home. I'm not sure if I've meet a dog or kids but I bet I'd like them too - I'm pretty easy going. I have been spayed and up-to-date on my shots. I've been deflead and dewormed! I'm really healthy. I would love to meet you. Do you want to meet me? If you are interested in me, please email info@angelstotheanimals.org for an application and more info!! You must be 22 to apply. Rehoming fee is $135.

Linus and Lucy are a bonded pair. They are very social and friendly. They will run to answer door when visitors come. They are approx 4 years old and are up to date on shots and spayed/neutered and microchipped. I am heart broken that I need to let them go due to health issues. They are good with dogs and other cats. They are currently indoor cats but would prefer to be in and out. If you are looking for friendly snuggly cats these two are for you.

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
Squeaks is a beautiful orange tabby male who was born around Jan 2023. He was found with a wound on his tummy which required surgery and brought into a foster home. Squeaks was born outdoors and is shy with new folks. He lives with his foster mom and dad and their two cats. He is devoted to his foster parents. Squeaks follows them around and is a real lap cat. He is playful and loving. He loves to play with the other two cats in the household. He likes toys and would do well with any family who puts in time to gain his trust. Orange cats are thought to be friendlier and more affectionate than other cats. They tend to be snuggly. Some orange tabbies are so affectionate that they are often cat-egorized as “velcro” kitties. **Adoption fee of $140 includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org
