Smoky

American Shorthair

Female, Adult

Raleigh, NC

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Smoky is an 8 year old precious and friendly 3-legged cat. She loves to be close by for snuggles and pets. She loves to be brushed, rubbed around her neck, and under her jaw. Her 3 legs don’t slow her down and she’s great with stairs, hoping on and off beds, etc. Smoky likes to be close by but she also likes a little alone time here and there. She used to have another cat friend in the home and she had no issues! She does well around babies and toddlers, but mostly keeps to herself or hangs out in another room when youngsters are around. She’s shy at first, but once you get to know her, she loves a good chat and to keep you company! We’re looking to find her a home before mid-December, before the arrival of our second baby.

Ashe

American Shorthair

Male, Young

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I originally fostered Ashe because a coworker found him and his siblings beside a dumpster at work. He was barely 2 months old, he was dewormed and defleaed and given his shots. He unfortunately began having issues with peeing outside the litter box. He knows very well how to use the litterbox but will pee on any clothes or towels left out. He has had this issue since ~3 months old. Ashe is just over a year old now (was born likely in August 2023). He is a big cuddler, he enjoys playing, he is shy to new people but will warm up to you! He requires lots of attention, so its best if he goes to a caretaker where someone is frequently home. Ashe is the sweetest boy, loves to jump and be in high places, is curious despite his timid nature, and deserves so so much love!!!

Talluse

American Shorthair

Female, Young

Raleigh, NC

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Talluse is a gentle and shy cat who may take time to warm up to new people. She generally prefers not to be held but eventually shows her affectionate side, seeking gentle pets and scratches once she feels comfortable. She has a playful spirit, loves chasing toys, and enjoys finding things to entertain herself with. Talluse communicates her needs clearly, often meowing to those she trusts when she wants attention. She cherishes her own space, especially cozy spots with soft pillows where she can relax. She also enjoys curling up in dark, quiet places when she needs a little time to herself. She reliably uses her litter box, but it’s important to keep it clean; if left uncleaned for too long, she may pee elsewhere. With the right care and patience, Talluse is sure to become a loving and endearing companion.

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.

Tripp

American Shorthair

Male, Adult

Garner, NC

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tripp is an eight-year-old neutered male cat. He is a super sweet and friendly cat; he has sometimes been compared to acting more like a dog than a cat! Cuddling up against a person is one of his favorite things. Sun-bathing (so typical for a cat lol) is also something he enjoys, any sliver of sun he will find to lounge in, especially if he can watch the birds and other critters outside at the same time. He does set a fluffy cute trap by rolling onto his back and showing that cute kitty tummy, you can usually get a few good rubs in before he decides it’s time to wrestle your hand. He is obsessed with chewing on plastic, so don’t leave your grocery bags unattended or he might take a nibble. Playtime is something he enjoys, chasing a toy up and down the hallway and bounding over the couch but he usually loses interest after 10-15 minutes. He is good with other cats, probably not elderly or frail as he does enjoy wrestling and playing a bit too rough for a compromised companion.

Elmo is a super lovable, rambunctious cat in need of a loving home. He loves to play, cuddle, and sunbathe on the porch on warmer days. He is in love with his catnip pickle and his tracker toys. He will quickly cuddle a place into your heart with his spirit and funny antics. We would keep him but our lifestyle just can’t accommodate him at this time. He comes with all his toys and his litter robot. We want it to be as smooth a transition as possible.

Luna

Female, Adult

Fuquay Varina, NC

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Due to unforeseen circumstances we find ourselves having to Rehome our sweet kitty, she has been with us since she was a kitten. Luna may take some time warming up to a new environment and people but once she does she loves to sit on your lap and just sleep. Especially if there are blankets involved, she loves to chase lasers and go after anything crinkly. She likes to find a “spot” and just stays there most of the time if cuddles aren’t an option. She’s fine with our 80 dog, and we used to have another cat that passed away a few years ago who she tolerated.. she’s not a huge fan of other cats but after an adjustment period has been fine with anything. We have an infant who had pulled her tail a few times and she will meow but hasn’t done anything past that so I believe she may do better in a home with no small children. She is 7 years old and is mostly black, she has a white spot on her chest and belly, she is on the smaller side maybe 7-10 lbs.
