Story
Cuddle loving young cat whom I adore so much. Between a baby on the way and atrocious pet fees if I keep him, I have come to the decision that I must find him a good home. He loves to play, and greets us with so much love every time we get home. I’m looking for someone who will give him a loving home and take good care of him.

Story
I adopted Pepper, and her sister Piper, when they were seven months old from near Pittsboro, NC. Pepper is a cautious observer during the day and a very active and vocal in the evening. She loves attention and being chased. She's choosy who she accepts attention from. She's accustomed to a one person home and living with her sister, but may benefit from a somewhat more active home. She has some furniture scratching behavior. While I've tried to keep them as indoor cats, Pepper and Piper will sneak outside sometimes when I open doors. Ideally, Pepper and Piper would be adopted together.

Story
I got Hendrix when she was about eight months old from my daughter. She was not getting along with my daughters dogs.She is very sweet, but she can also be very sassy. She seems to get along fine with male cats. She is not getting along with my other female cat currently. I think she would be much happier as an only pet in the home; she might have less anxiety She used to; I dont know what happened. They growl and fight. She is not living her best life as shes always seems to be on guard. She has started to pee outside the litter box I believe because of the conflict. She has been checked medically, and there are no issues. The vet has cleared her. She likes to sleep with me and she likes being pet and cuddled, but on her own terms.

Story
Egg is a gorgeous, wonderful, silly guy who unfortunately needs to be re-homed because he is incompatible with my other cat. He is great with both children and adults, loves food, and he weighs in at a healthy 16 lbs. I'm looking for a loving home where he can roam and play and bask in the sun. He has been an indoor cat, but he would do well in an indoor/outdoor home, as he has been showing his dominance through spraying on the furniture (my other cat cannot go outside, which is why he isn't able to do so). He's very interested in the outside and was originally found on the street as a kitten by my friend. He's updated on all vaccinations and has been neutered. He’s been very well loved, and I hope to find him a great home that’s a better fit.

Story
Our cat's name is Belle. She is approximately 9 years old. She is a super easy cat. She does not scratch anything, she is good with dogs, and excellent with the litter box. She is a very cuddly cat. If your lap is open, she will find her way there. She will also give you tons of kisses. The reason we need to rehome her is because she needs a $1,000-$1,200 dental surgery and we cannot afford that right now. We also want her to be in a home where she gets more attention than we give her. She is truly the perfect cat. Very, very loving. She would be great in a home where she would get lots of cuddles and pets.
