Story
This big guy was found in Waynesville near J&B Apartments. The finders fell in love with him, but they just can keep him. He was fine with their cat, but it was not a reciprocal interaction. Weighing in at just over 10#, we believe that this cat has a few years on him. He has a beautiful talking voice and will let you know when he wants your attention. He is housetrained and will be soon ready to go to a new home and love on some humans.All animals must be neutered/spayed prior to finalization of adoption. All animals will be microchipped and have the appropriate vaccinations for the age of the animal. All animals will be treated for worms and flea/tick prevention.

Story
Meet Chili Chili was found as a stray hanging around a taco joint — and honestly, he probably would’ve preferred to stay there at first.For quite a while, this boy was spicy. He was not impressed about being rescued and made that very clear. Indoor life? Hard pass. Humans? Highly suspicious.But then one day… something changed. Chili decided maybe people weren’t so bad after all.Now that he feels safe, his softer side truly shines. He loves pets and especially enjoys a good round of butt scritches — though he will absolutely let you know when he’s had enough. Boundaries are important to him, and he appreciates humans who respect them.Chili also loves to play and interact. Toys are a big hit, and once he’s comfortable, he enjoys engaging with his people and being part of the action.The Home Chili Needs Chili can take a hot minute to acclimate to new surroundings or new people. His adopter will need patience and understanding while he settles in. Once he does, though, he becomes a loyal, playful, and affectionate companion. No young children Older, respectful children who understand boundaries are fine A calm cat companion may work with a proper introduction Has not been around dogs Chili deserves a home where he feels secure, respected, and truly loved — a place where he can continue to thrive.If you’re willing to give this former taco-stand tough guy the time he needs, you’ll be rewarded with a sweet, playful boy who just needed someone to believe in him.
