Story
Speedy aspires to be a race car driver and after we told him that cats cannot do that, he has had a perpetual ticked off expression. We didn't mean to burst his bubble. If you can facilitate his dream or spend your life making up that he lost his dream, he wants you as his person. He will freely accept generous head and back rubs, lap sits (a requirement), (somewhat forced) snuggles, treats of all kinds, the chance to sit on your warm computer and sleeping in mornings with you. He is fast on his little feet and loves a good jingle ball or feather toy. He will definitely entertain you but always keep that expression of complete disappointment with you. If you can handle the constant judgment and are willing to earn his approval, you need this sweet boy. If you are interested in adopting Speedy, please fill out an adoption application here  https://miasmafia.org/adoption-application You must live within 50 miles of the Raleigh, NC area in order to qualify for adoption. Your application will be denied if you live further away. Approx DOB 08/06/2022 Adoption fee is $110.00 ##2612245##

Story
Meet Tieghan, the string toy expert.  Got a mouse or toy on a string that you need caught? Tieghan is your girl! This sweet girl is bonded with her brother Ronan and we would love to see them adopted together so they can continue being the best pals that they are. Tieghan is very playful and can play all day and by herself. She loves to stay close to you and sit with you and sometimes she is a lap cat. Tieghan also loves to look out the window and spend time in the kitchen with you begging for her food. She is a sweet girl, shy at the start but worth the time to win her trust to see her antics and get her snuggles.    If you are interested in adopting Tieghan, please fill out an adoption application here  https://miasmafia.org/adoption-application You must live within 50 miles of the Raleigh, NC area in order to qualify for adoption.

Story
Meet Otter—a soft-hearted teenage orange tabby with a clever mind, a tender soul, soft white socks for paws, and just the right dash of quirky charm. With her thoughtful gaze and quiet purrs, Otter is the kind of kitty who takes her time to trust, but once you’ve earned her heart (and offered up a slice of pizza, metaphorically or otherwise), you’ll have a loyal companion forever. She may come off a little shy at first, but don't be fooled—Otter has her moments of pure silliness and sparkle. When breakfast time rolls around, she’s all enthusiasm: rising up on her back legs like a circus star, chirping out her mealtime anthem, and twirling with joy at the sound of a can being opened. Her favorite pastimes include precision laser-pointer chasing, dainty Churu slurping, and, perhaps most adorably, giving herself meticulous tail-baths worthy of applause. Otter does beautifully with other cats and warms up well to people. For families with young children or pups, a calm and quiet household is necessary to help Otter feel safe and seen. If you're looking for a feline friend who’s equal parts brainy, bashful, and unexpectedly hilarious, Otter’s your girl—ready to pounce (gently) into your heart.   If you are interested in adopting Otter, please fill out an adoption application here  https://miasmafia.org/adoption-application You must live within 50 miles of the Raleigh, NC area in order to qualify for adoption.

Story
Meet Mama Cappuccino, a tiny torbie with a huge heart! At just 8 pounds and freshly turned one year old, this sweet girl has already been through quite a lot. She was living in a feral colony and was found the very night she gave birth. She was an amazing mama to her little girl, who has recently found her forever home. Now it’s her turn! Cappuccino is a little shy and can be skittish at first, but once she decides you’re safe, you’ll see her start to shine. She’ll roll right onto her back for belly rubs, purr nonstop, and show you just how sweet she really is. And don’t let her petite size fool you—this girl gets the zoomies on the regular!  She has a permanent spot on her right eye from something that happened before she was rescued, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit. She’s happy, playful, and completely unbothered by it. Mama Cappuccino gets along with cats, dogs, and kids and would make a wonderful addition to a patient, loving family who will give her a little time to come out of her shell. She loves feather toys, watching the world go by from a window, and—once she trusts you—belly rubs are definitely on her list of favorite things. This beautiful girl has spent her first year being a survivor and a mama. Now she deserves to spend the rest of her life simply being someone’s beloved cat.  If you’re looking for a gentle, silly, beautiful little companion who just needs someone willing to earn her trust, Mama Cappuccino may be your girl.  If you are interested in adopting Cappuccino, please fill out an adoption application here  https://miasmafia.org/adoption-application You must live within 50 miles of the Raleigh, NC area in order to qualify for adoption.

Story
Meet Morgan, a handsome orange tabby with a big heart and an even bigger love for his feline friends.  Morgan is blind, but don’t let that fool you—once he learns his surroundings, he is a happy, playful, and incredibly affectionate boy who loves life! A true orange personality! Morgan absolutely must have other cats in his forever home, preferably a feline friend he can bond closely with. He loves having kitty companions to snuggle with, play with, groom, and be groomed by. His cat friends give him comfort and confidence, and having them around is an important part of helping Morgan feel secure. Because Morgan is blind, he’ll need a patient adopter who understands that he needs a little time to learn his new home. Starting him in one room and gradually giving him access to additional spaces as he learns the layout will help him build confidence and navigate safely. Once he knows where everything is, Morgan gets around remarkably well and is ready to play, explore, and settle into his routine. Morgan may need a little extra patience at first, but what you’ll get in return is a sweet boy who loves to snuggle and even give you kisses on the forehead. If you have a friendly cat looking for a best buddy, Morgan might just be the perfect match.  He does have some friends in his foster home as well but no cat that his is particularly bonded with, so if you are interested in him and a friend we can make that happen as well! If you are interested in adopting Morgan, please fill out an adoption application here  https://miasmafia.org/adoption-application You must live within 50 miles of the Raleigh, NC area in order to qualify for adoption. Approx DOB 02/14/2018 Adoption fee is $50 ##2821747##

Story
This sweet little tortie is a gentle soul who may need a little extra time to feel comfortable and let her personality shine. She is shy and timid at first, but once she learns that she can trust you, she absolutely appreciates being petted and will slowly begin to reward your patience with her love and devotion. She isn’t a fan of having her belly touched or being picked up, so she’s looking for someone who understands that love doesn’t always have to mean being held. She would do best in a quiet, patient home where someone is around often, such as someone who works from home, so she can have plenty of time to build a bond with her person. She would also likely appreciate having a calm, easygoing kitty friend to keep her company, although she is not currently living with another adoptable cat. She enjoys the simple things in life—lounging on a comfy bed, soaking up the sunshine in the catio, and watching the world go by. She may not be the cat who runs up and immediately demands to be your best friend, but for the right person, earning her trust will make her affection all the more special. If you have a quiet home, a little patience, and a whole lot of love to give, this beautiful girl may just be waiting for you to show her that she is finally home.
