Story
Turbo is named for his energetic and playful energy. He’s extremely independent and adventurous (just in the backyard, he’s never run away from home).He is gorgeous and fun. He is a terrific climber. His favorite toy is a balled up piece of paper (which he can catch with his paws). His favorite snack is a cardboard box (and bacon, he LOVES bacon!) He does like being in the car.This boy will keep you entertained for hours.We rescued him from a local shelter as a kitten four years ago and he has been with us ever since.It is important for any potential adopters to note that Turbo does have some medical needs. In the past he suffered from Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) and he now has prescription food (Urinary SO).He also had a partial tail amputation and is currently on a strong prescription: Phenobarbital.He really deserves a home where he’ll have lots of interaction and playtime. At this time we’re just unable to provide that and keep up with all of his medical needs.

Story
Mack and his sister Stella are a bonded pair that need to be adopted together. Mack is a 3 year old Flame Point Siamese who is very sweet and will make you biscuits while purring every morning at breakfast. Stella is a 3 year old Orange Domestic Shorthair/Tabby who enjoys flopping on her side for belly rubs and lives to hunt bugs. They LOVE to play with wand toys, enjoy scratch pads, catnip, and looking out windows. They’re up to date on their shots and have been tested for FIV/FeLV, both Negative. They’ll come with some toys, food, and a few other things to get them settled in their new home. Both are litter trained and will make a great extension to someone’s family! Please only contact if you’re willing to adopt them both, they will not be split up.

Story
My husband bought him from the SPCA wake county. He is 14 years old. He is potty trained but likes to use the bathroom pretty much everywhere. It was our mother in laws cat and she passed away Friday July 31st of a heart condition and we cannot care for him because we have 2 dogs already in our apartment. He may have other health issues because he has lost a lot of weight but he is very sweet. We don't know how much longer he will survive unfortunately

Story
In need of new home for my cat, Marshall. -Age 11 months, neutered male cat, vaccinations received, very personable cat. Great for families with children, good with other animals after being introduced appropriately. Fully litter box trained. -75$ rehoming fee, would like to ensure the recipient has true desire for cat’s ownership. -Genuinely one of the sweetest, most playful cats I’ve interacted with. He will jump on your shoulder and sit if you let him. Looking for new family ASAP, if no home is found here I will have to check with a shelter such as SPCA for rehoming.

Story
Doc is a 13-year-old cat I adopted as a kitten from an animal shelter. He has been with me through a few different states, multiple different houses and many different foster children. He's super sweet. He's a lab cat. He purrs as soon as you look at him and will sleep, cuddled all over you if you let him. Our family recently moved into a pretty large house, and we're excited to recertify as foster parents. But Doc is having a hard time with the size of the house and is having a lot of accidents in random places. He seems to have a hard time finding the litter box, even though we try to make it more accessible. We’ve put multiple litter boxes in places where it's a little more obvious, but it makes it less safe for kids and not quite as hygienically sound. He needs a loving, quiet house that’s a bit cozier.
