Story
Sylvester is a neutered male white-and-black kitten, born on October 15, 2024. This handsome boy is the perfect lap cat. All he wants is love and cuddles.  His toe beans are active all the time making biscuits and he purrs in his sleep. He loves to play in his tunnel, chase a wand toy and his favorite is a crinkle ball. Indoor cat only! The adoption fee is $150. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to: https://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org/cat-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina. Optional transport is weekly.  After your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you so desire.February 15, 2025, 6:39 pm

Story
We are posting these two little boys together because it is almost impossible to tell them apart, and they are equally sweet, playful, snuggly and loving. They were born on Christmas Eve and have been inside ever since. They can be adopted separately or together. Your adoption fee will cover their vet services when they are old enough: spay, vaccines, and microchip. For an adoption application or more information, contact Nancy Foltz at NEFoltz@Yahoo.com or 704-616-4904
