Story
Sam is a sweet girl. We adopted her after her owner, my aunt, passed away from pancreatic cancer earlier this year. She did used to live with two other male cats and got along with them, but unfortunately, she’s not getting along with our two cats now that we have her. We think that she would do really well in a home where she was the sole cat or with someone experienced in adoption who could help her become comfortable with other cats if there are some present in the new household. Despite being 14 Sam has a lot of energy and she loves to play. She’s quite small and looks like a kitten. She loves pets and affection, although she prefers not to sit on your lap or be held for too long. She can be independent, but she also loves attention. I want to find her a good home where someone can love her and take good care of her.

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.

Story
If you're looking for a new best kitty friend, look no further *if you are okay being a one cat household. Doc has been with our family since he was 12 weeks old. He was a foster that we decided to adopt. For the first several months, all was well. However, Doc began developing aggression toward some of our other cats. We have worked with a behaviorist, had him medically evaluated, and tried medication to no avail. The conclusion has been made that he needs to be an only cat. Doc absolutely loves humans and is super affectionate! He wants to be a part of whatever the humans are doing. He sits in a chair during dinner and gets right in the center of game night. Doc is healthy and has no other behavior issues. This decision is heart wrenching, but we need to do what's best for Doc and our other cats. We are committed to supporting his adopters through the transition.

These pups are in Sanford, North Carolina too!
