My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rupert and his brother Raymond came to our rescue from a local shelter at just 4.5 months old. We quickly realized how terrified they truly were. With diligent care, Rupert is now sweet and loving though he will be shy when he first meets you.

Rupert has the cutest little smudge on his nose. He is very sweet but shy. He loves his belly rubbed and loves to snuggle in a fuzzy blanket. He is not a lap cat yet but will snuggle next to you. He enjoys his HGTV that plays on his TV in their room.

For the ease of settling in, no small children please. He would do fine with another kitty or two in the home. He has not been around dogs but would likely be fine with a cat friendly dog with proper intros.

He would show best in their current foster home, and we would love to show him there if you are interested in meeting them. The brothers do not have to be adopted together but these boys love each other and if adopted together, we do think it will help them adjust faster.

Rupert has had age-appropriate vetting, is FeLV/FIV negative, microchipped and has been neutered. FREE wellness visit with adoption.

Saving Southern Kitties has the most comprehensive vetting standards for adoption. Please visit our kitties at the Rivergate PetSmart in Charlotte and like and visit Saving Southern Kitties Facebook page for an up-to-date list of adoptable kitties. An application is required.

More about this rescue

Saving Southern Kitties is a South Carolina rescue devoted to saving cats and kittens from high kill and rural shelters, where euthanasia rates are extremely high. At Saving Southern Kitties, we are making a difference of the lives of cats who have no voice.

At Saving Southern Kitties we focus our efforts on those cats and kittens which are never seen on the adoption floors at these shelters and are labeled "rescue only". Shelters do not usually have space to put all of the cats on the adoption floor and must decide which ones don't make the cut. Usually it's those who aren't super fancy, have a sniffle, or are thing from being a stray for too long. Oftentimes, they are only given a few days to get out by a rescue group or be euthanized. We are their only chance at finding a forever family. We spend the money needed to make them healthy and adoptable. Because of this, our average dollar amount spent per cat is quite high. We aim to keep our adoption prices very reasonable!

Saving Southern Kitties is making a difference for these precious lives, one at a time! MEOW Y'ALL!
