is a sibling of three. I have had all of them since they were 4 weeks old found under a porch they turned five this summer. The boy suddenly felt ill two weeks ago from liver disease and I had to put him to sleep Kami and her sister Taz need new homes as soon as possible I am unable to take them where I'm going also unable to care for them anymore it's very heartbreaking but I rather they be somewhere they can get all the care love and attention they need

Story
I adopted Phoebe from the SPCA about a month ago. The once shy 11-month-old soon became full of energy and personality. However, due to her young age, she can be a little rambunctious. She is so kind and loves to be petted (frequently). My issues arose when she began to chew at the blinds, claw at my chair, and damage my bedspread. She typically wants attention during the night and sometimes gently tugs at my hair or jumps on my feet to wake me up. Due to renting and the furniture not being owned by me, I cannot risk any damage to the furniture. Unfortunately, I also don't have anywhere to put Phoebe at night to avoid waking me up. Lastly, I have dogs at home, and when I go back for the holidays, they do not interact well. Phoebe truly is an amazing cat who is hilarious and just wants love. I believe that a home that has experience with how to handle cats at such a young age, and more space for her would be a perfect fit. I know eventually that she will grow out of her kitten habits.

My name is Epona and I am a loving, dedicated companion looking for my new home. I love to hang out with you, cuddle, play, and be outside on a porch. I’m very good in the litter box and I am a bit overweight but otherwise healthy. :)

Story
Meet Baby Bear! Baby Bear is a very handsome, buff tabby fella with soulful, coppery eyes, and a shy but sweet personality. Baby Bear has found more confidence while being at the cafe. He does need to go to a home that has another cat friend for him to play with. He does connect with people but needs that cat friend for his kitten energy.

Story
🐾 Meet Rumblefoot — The Sweetest Lap Lounger With a Brave Little Backstory 🐾 Born on April 8, 2025, Rumblefoot is a handsome grey-and-white gentleman who comes to us from a rural northern North Carolina shelter. He arrived with his two brothers and one sister — a close-knit little family — and has shown nothing but patience and charm since day one. When Rumblefoot first came in, he was nursing an injury to one of his back feet. Thanks to lots of care and his own resilient spirit, it has healed beautifully. Rumblefoot can be a a bit shy in new situations, but once he realizes he’s safe, his gentle personality blossoms. He has the most adorable and unassuming soft, little meow when he's trying to get your attention. He loves nothing more than a warm lap and a quiet, cozy moment with someone he trusts. If you let him, he’ll happily stay curled up with you all day long. This very nice boy has a soft heart, a calm presence, and plenty of love to give. Rumblefoot will be super happy to spend the rest of his life with his brother, Purrlock, if you are looking for a pair. 💛🐈‍⬛🐾
