Story
Tammy is a very playful and sweet kitten. I got her from someone I don't really know. She wanted me to take care of her for a while, but I haven't heard from her since, and I can't keep her anymore because I'm having a baby soon and I don't know how Tammy will react to my baby since she's so playful. I want a Family who can protect and love her.

Story
I got Roman when he was a kitten. He is 10 years old, neutered and healthy. He has slowly become a lap cat and more cuddle as he’s gotten older. He loves to play. Any toy on a string is his favorite. He would do well in a home with other cats, a dog or children. He is super sweet and loves treats.

Story
Kisa is the sweetest little pumpkin at just 8 lbs! I am helping her find a permanent home after someone in my community was no longer able to care for her. Kisa loves people, she really has never met a stranger. She loves to sit right beside you, get pets, chin scritches, or ride on your shoulders if you let her. She is also good at entertaining herself. She's a chill cat. She also is pretty trainable and at points has been trained to high five or jump into her cat stroller, etc. She is good with children and is patient with other cats, although I am not sure about dogs. She is very clean and fastidious and I have never had issues with accidents or any problems related to using the litterbox. She is also a breeze at the vet. One callout: Kisa must be a completely indoor car. She is allergic to anything pine-related as it makes her fur fall out.

Story
Name: Taffy Age: 6 Months Gender: I'm a handsome boy Location: Durham Hi Human! My name is Taffy. Like the candy Laffy Taffy. I'm a handsome boy about 6-7 months and I came from Sanford, NC. I'm not necessarily a lap kitty but sometimes i'll randomly jump on you and give you motor purrrs. You can hold me if i'm in the mood but just not for long periods. I'd like to be in a home with another kitten or young cat so I have a playmate. I'm discovering life and enjoying being a kitten but want to enjoy it with my human family. If you could provide me a cat tree, lots of scratching posts and toys that would be great! I'd love to meet you if you think I would fit in your home. If you're interested to learn more about Taffy, reach out to Heather at catsonthehorizon@gmail.com. Taffy looks forward to meeting you.

Story
Name: Billy Age: 7 months-ish Gender: Male Location: Durham, NC Hi Human! My name is Billy. My foster mom named me this 'cause i'm silly Billy, I'm also called Little Billy and named after Billy Blanks and if you we're born before 2000's then you've probably heard of him. He's a martial arts boxing instructor. There's this cute thing I do sometimes when I'm playing I like to do little boxing jabs and it was too fitting with my other names so Billy it is! I was rescued along with my brother Bastian in a residential street outside. I had food and water but as a little kitten it was hard to survive all on my own. My eye got infected and I couldn't see in my right eye for awhile but when my foster mom took me in, she gave me eye meds and nursed me back to health. My right eye was saved! Yaaaay. I've been to the vet, neutered, vaccinated, tested and de-wormed. I'm all healthy now and am looking for my forever home. If possible, I'd like to be adopted with my brother Bastian. Were litter mates and like to play together. I'm your typical playful and energetic kitten who likes to play with the string toy, and laser pointer. My foster mom says I have lots of energy. I have a playful bite but I never mean hurt my human/s. I guess for a kitten..maybe I have a short tension span but that's only because everything is still new and exciting to me. I like zoom zooms, running and jumping on things. I can't wait to see what else is out there. There's an adoption fee and reference is required. If you'd like to meet me then reach out to my foster mom Heather at catsonthehorizon@gmail.com. I look forward to meeting you soon!
