My story

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

Hector is an affectionate and vocal kitty, full of energy! He loves getting pets and starts purring the moment you pick him up. He loves to play for hours - especially with his favorite mouse toy - followed by cuddling up in your lap for a nap. He is a curious and lively kitten, who will bring love and joy to his forever home. He has shown he is good with kids and, after an introduction period, other cats. 

Hector is the sweetest little boy.  He showed up with his mom (Henrietta) and his sister (Harlow...not yet ready for adoption) outside a gas station on 12/29...they had apparently been dumped and they were hiding out in the shrubs.  The person who saw them on 12/29 began feeding them until my daughter stopped for gas on 1/7 and saw them.  On 1/8, I was out with traps and mom and Hector immediately went in the traps and also quickly showed themselves to be friendly.  Hector's sister evaded me and it took another 8 days to finally catch her.  While she is a little more timid, she is also friendly and very vocal like Hector.

Meet Hector by completing our online adoption application or visiting him during our weekly adoption event at PetSmart, Bleachery Blvd, 12-4pm on Saturday.  Get $50 off the combined adoption fee for a pair of kittens. All cats are spayed/neutered, current on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, FELV/FIV tested, dewormed and started on monthly flea preventative.



All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at pets@mpravl.org for more information.

Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.

Mountain Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax deductible charity (EIN 82-3039637) located in Asheville, NC.
