Story
Cooper (originally named Hubble) came into our lives about five years ago, and from the start, he's been a one-of-a-kind cat. We adopted him from a rescue as a kitten, and despite missing one eye, he quickly showed us that he sees the world with more heart than most. He's got what we lovingly call orange cat energy - playful, curious, sometimes chaotic, and always endearing. But Cooper isn't just a ball of quirky energy he's also one of the most affectionate cats you'll ever meet. He loves to curl up on laps, nuzzle into your side at night, and be wherever his humans are. We're heartbroken to say that we can no longer give Cooper the life and attention he deserves. We're looking for a new home that will cherish him the way we have - a home that appreciates snuggles, can giggle at his goofy antics, and has the time and love to offer him comfort and companionship.

Story
Romeo came into my life as a street rescue and quickly showed just how loyal and loving he can be. He's about 7 years old now and has truly settled into indoor life, but he still has that strong spirit that helped him survive outside. Romeo is deeply bonded with our younger cat, Sombra, and we'd love for them to be adopted together if possible. He thrives in a calm, structured environment where he knows his people and his space. Romeo can be territorial at times- especially with new animals- but once he trusts you, he's all heart. He's the type to follow you from room to room and curl up nearby. We are looking for a loving, cat-savvy home where Romeo can continue to grow, feel safe, and ideally stay with Sombra. Adjectives that describe Romeo: loyal, affectionate (on his terms), curious, protective, smart, and sometimes a little bossy.

Story
Found him and his brother in an abandoned townhome in Wilmington. His brother did not make it but Zack did. They were very little baby kittens freshly born maybe five days old. Took him home bottle fed him and everything to good health. He is now. He is four going on five in August. he is super talkative and spunky. He loves being pet but not picked up very much. We think he needs to be in a home with no other cats. He does not like the new kittens we got and tries to attack them. He is ok with dogs. He does have a bit of a wheeze when breathing never got looked at. He will snore super loud sometimes Will waive adoption fee of $5 for adoption
