Story
Missy is a sweet senior cat that is very vocal. She is part of a bonded pair with her brother Mitchell. She loves cuddles and treats! Mitchell is a quiet to himself cat but will definitely let you know when he wants to cuddle. Mitchell is a long hair cat who loves to be brushed. Mitchell is also a senior cat. Both are lovely and it breaks my heart to rehome them but due to my current living situation I know they deserve better.

Story
Mae is a gentle, loving cat—1 year and 9 months old—originally adopted from SPCA Raleigh. She’s very shy at first and may need a few days to feel comfortable in a new home, but once she settles, she becomes a true sweetheart. Mae is quiet, calm, and doesn’t make noise or jump around. We are heartbroken to rehome her, but we recently discovered that my husband is allergic to cats. We hope she finds a patient, loving family who will give her the comfort and safety she deserves.

Story
Sassy was adopted from a farm. She is sweet and loves attention. She is three years old with lots of energy. She will greet you at the door when you arrive home everyday. Her full name is Sassafras but I call her Sassy because she loves to talk with you. I am gone long hours and she is in need of company.

Story
Stevie is a sweet cat who is great with kids and loves being petted. He is diabetic, and we are happy to continue to provide/pay for insulin. We travel often for work and cannot afford to keep boarding him with his special needs. He has lived with his sister Frida for 10 years, so we would be open to re-homing both if the adopter would prefer. She is also very sweet and does not have any special needs. Stevie does sometimes choose not to use the litter box, especially since we got a dog 5 years ago. It was not common practice for him before that. His diabetes is well managed and we have a long-term supply. As far as care, he eats a low glucose food and gets an insulin shot in the morning and evening. He does not mind the shots at all and they’re very easy to administer.

Story
I’m one of the Christmas Cookie kittens—some say pizzelles are the original cookie and I’m certainly original! I’m full of personality and love both cuddles and playtime. Head rubs? Yes, please! Snuggles? Absolutely! I’m super curious and always want to know what you’re up to. I’m great with kids, okay with dogs, and I’m learning to feel comfortable around other cats in my foster home. My favorite game is chasing my sisters, and I’d love a forever home with a feline friend. Being adopted with one of my sisters would be wonderful! If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate kitten with lots of pizzazz who will keep you entertained and loved, I’m your girl! Est. DOB: Sept. 10, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Story
I’m a bold, curious adventurer with a big personality! I love exploring every corner, chasing lasers, watching TV, and might even sometimes try to “help” you with your chores. I love fun—wrestling with siblings, hoarding toy mice, and zooming around. Sometimes I get carried away and may swat or nip gently, but never hard. I can be shy at first, but once I warm up, I’m all yours! When playtime’s over, I’m a big cuddle bug with a loud, happy purr. I do well playing on my own, but I’d do best with a young, playful friend for company. A home with dogs or older kids would be OK too! Looking for a feisty, playful, and affectionate companion who will keep you smiling and snuggling? I’m the one for you! Est. DOB: April 8, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.
