Story
My dear friend recently passed away, and her husband is now dealing with congestive heart failure. He'll be in rehab for several weeks and will soon transition to a care facility and is unable to keep sweet Dottie. Dottie is a friendly and affectionate cat who has lived both indoors and outdoors and used to sleep with her owner. She's up to date on her shots, gets along well with other cats, and tolerates dogs. She's very sweet and enjoys being brushed, vacuumed, and even patted on her belly and bum. She may need litter box training; I'm not sure. My friend originally rescued Dottie from the street when she was just a kitten, and she's been a loyal companion ever since. Dottie is staying on her owner's front porch, with neighbors helping to feed and care for her. She has a water and feeding station there, too. I also set up a shelter (with heating pad) on the porch, and the next door neighbor opened his greenhouse so she can have additional shelter. Please give Dottie a safe home.

Story
Betsy is a 9 y/o small cat, 11.9 lbs., purs a lot, is outgoing, vocal, meows to be petted, welcomes attention. She loves to be brushed - either wire brush or a small furminator. She is easy to pick up to put in a crate but doesn't need to be held, she wants to get down. Betsy is a gentle cat, always trying to make friends with the other cats in the house, even if they aren't ready yet. She is a sibling and would most likely do well without her brother. No health issues, is utd on shots and physical exam as of 10/17/2024. She eats dry cat food only; is litter box trained. Her environment has been a bedroom with a large window to look out, have screen open for fresh air and sun. She was free to roam upstairs from 6:00 pm - 9:00pm daily for exercise and exploring. I want her to have freedom and deserved attention in her own house. I am her original owner.

Story
My husband and I are having his mother who is having surgery that will leave her bedridden come live with us during her recovery, she is highly allergic / sensitive to cats and cannot be around them during her recovery. My boy Eli is just over 2 years old. I have never had issues with him biting or scratching people, and honestly he is the best cat in the world (at least to me), you can pick him up like a baby and kiss his head and he won’t mind a bit. He has NO concept of personal space and he will curl up next to you all hours of the day, he loves to press his head up on your face to get more attention! He is UTD and fixed. He is so lovable and I am heartbroken to have to find him a new home.

Story
Squeeky is a 6-year-old barn cat. He is a smaller cat weighing only 9 pounds. He has spent his entire life around numerous workers and loves everyone. He has a German Shepard friend. I believe he would love a nice warm home with lots of attention! His barn home will be torn down soon. He just had a complete vet exam and got vaccinated. He received a Revolution flea treatment. He comes with a month worth of food, cat litter, toys, 3 months of Revolution flea treatment and vet paperwork. He would benefit from an experienced cat lover to help him adjust to inside living. Squeeky likes dogs, but he has always chased away any older cats. He would probably love a kitten. Squeeky lives in the Myrtle Beach area.

Story
Bonnie and Clyde were found by the staff at a doctors office in Wilmington, NC- just hanging around begging for food. Seems thier mom had dropped them under a car there for safe keeping, but didn't come back. One of the staff members scooped them up an called us. Clyde was adopted as a kitten, but turned in to a shelter years later. They said they took in an elderly family member who is allergic to cats. We wish they would have called us first, per our adoption agreement, but Clyde is now safe in foster care. We will give him time to decompress, get his vetting up to date, then he will be ready for a forever home. All cats and kittens from Feline Matchmakers Inc. have age appropriate vaccinations, are fixed, tested for communicable diseases, fleas, worms, parasites and are microchipped. An application and home visit are required. Contact felinematchmakers@hotmail.com and give us your phone number for a chat. Applications at felinematchmakers.org ##837940##
