Cutie and Winnie are a bonded pair that would love a home to call their own! They are 1.5 year old females that enjoy a mellow lifestyle. These girls were both initially shy when arriving at the AARF House, but they have come out of their shell while leaning on each other for confidence. Winnie and Cutie enjoy basking in the sun, watching birds outside the window and grooming each other.

Story
Orange - This little girl loves to be petted and makes biscuits at the same time. I think she still misses her mommy because she sucks on a blanket sometimes while she's making biscuits. She purrs so loud when you rub her and I think you could rub her 24/7 and she wouldn't mind. She gets along great with all my other cats and loves to sleep in front of the front door. She plays with Orange and loves to play with toys.

Story
Sassy is a black and white tuxedo who is spayed. She is 4 years old. She loves to play with toys like laser pointers, wand toys and soft toys. She talks when she is playing. This can happen during the night as well but it is not a disturbance. She enjoys catnip and has a really sweet personality. She is friendly and likes cuddles once she get to know you. She will give head butts for affection and likes to play a game with chasing foam balls up and down the stairs. She was a neighborhood stray that was running the streets but has transitioned to a lovely house cat. Due to layoff and not being able to get full time work, she needs a loving forever home.

Story
Hello! My name is Salem, and I am a low-maintenance, adult cat that loves to cuddle. I have lovely short hair, but I really don't shed much for a cat. I am very good with children and adults, and I even (kinda) like my dog-sister, since she's about my size. I like to play, but I don't need a lot of exercise. Give me a soft pipecleaner for a toy and I'll be entertained for hours! I like canned food best, but I will eat canned or dry all the same. You can even leave a little extra food in my bowl, and I promise not to overeat! I used to chew on everything, but I am happy to report that I am one year sober from eating any socks, clothes, or shoes. I love a good firm scratch right on the top of my head but scratching my neck or the base of my tail works wonders. Just please don't scratch my tummy; I'm a little sensitive about that. I need a new home, preferably one where I can be the only cat, but I may open up to siblings.

Story
Dwight and Daisy are two 7 year old, incredibly sweet biological siblings. We adopted them back in July with the hopes of integrating them into our home with our two other cats. After much effort, unfortunately the pairs have not gotten along. Even though it saddens us deeply to have to let them go, we are hoping to find a new loving family for these sweet cats. Preferably a home without other animals. Dwight is deaf and has mild CH (Cerebellar hypoplasia) however this does not stop him from living his life to the fullest! Nor does it affect his health. These two are incredibly loving, biscuit making machines and would love to have you in their lives :)

Story
Hello, Eli was adopted from the Forsyth County Humane Society in Oct 2024. Eli is about 3 months old and has been sprayed/neutered already. He will need his next Rabie shot in about 4 weeks. Eli is very playful and is extremely well with kids. He is curious and active and loves to cuddle. Eli likes to play with toys and explore new objects. This would be a great pet if you have a family with kids. Unfortunately, we can not keep Eli due to an allergy concern but he deserves a loving home.
