Tiger is super sweet and calm. He is a perfect fit for a home with no other pets. Children are ok. He just has too much anxiety with other cats. He is very cuddly and soft. He loves attention and sleeping with people.

Story
Sam is a 15-year-old gray tuxedo cat with the heart and energy of a much younger boy. He is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and happiest simply being near his person. He purrs almost as soon as you come close, sleeps beside you, and leans his whole head into beeeg pets. His favorite things are watching birds from his window bed, playing with string toys, stretching as far as possible while splaying his toesies, and reminding you when it is mealtime. Once fed, he is wonderfully calm and very low-maintenance.Sam lived happily as an only cat before moving into our multi-cat home. Unfortunately, our cats never really accepted him and made him feel unsafe. After months of trying separation, slow introductions, environmental changes, and professional guidance, we have had to keep Sam mostly in the garage for his safety. We love him so much, but that is not the life he deserves.He has lived peacefully with a respectful dog. He deserves a quiet home where he can feel safe and loved.

Story
These two bonded sibling cats (one male tuxedo, one shy female calico) were born to a friend’s cat and raised with us since they left their mom. Fully litter-trained from day one, they stay clean and never beg or steal human food. Both spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, regularly dewormed with no parasites. The boy is bold and outgoing; his sister is gentle and shy. They get along perfectly with kids and dogs, never scratch or act aggressive. Super cuddly and calm. I’m rehoming them only because my work schedule got far too busy, leaving them lonely and anxious. They must stay together. All leftover cat food, litter and litter boxes come free to a loving home that treats them as family.

Story
Iris is a sweet cat who loves nothing more than to sit with her whole family on the couch. We were told when we adopted her that she was originally thrown out a car onto the road, causing her to have some health issues (that have now gone away). She is about 4 years old now, and we are looking for a new home for her because we have just had our first baby and cannot give Iris the attention she deserves. Loud environments with lots of change can be hard for her. Iris loves to be played with and will require lots of love and attention in her new home. Iris takes some time to get adjusted, but is an adorable cat who would be most at home in a calm, loving environment.

Story
Got Yoshi from the SPCA of Wake County, he is currently 14 weeks, estimated birthday is May 8 2026. Shelter said he came in from a hoarder house hold. We gave it a shot but his personality didn’t blend with my other kitten, he isn’t super friendly with humans but he’s been warming up slowly to us but slowly is the key word. He kind of knows his name is Yoshi but i’m sure he can learn a different one if preferred. i don’t think he needs to be in a single cat house hold i think he just doesn’t blend with my first kitty well. if any questions please just ask!
