Story
This amazing kitty needs a new home that is calm and loving. Newman (named after Paul Newman for her blue eyes) came to us because an elderly relative could no longer care for her. She is affectionate and calm - likes to cuddle but also is fine with just being in the same room with you or on her own to nap. We have two large and energetic dogs and that is just not her style, so we're hoping to find her a new family so she can have calm and happy days.

Story
I found Tito at the car dealership that I work at. I took him to the vet and got him checked out and got all his shots and vaccinations. He is a sweet boy who just needs more space and a bit more attention than I can provide. I hate to let him go but I want him to live the best life that he can.

Story
Curi and London needs to be adopted together. They both have CH ( Cerebellar Hypoplasi ) They are bonded since they were born. London uses pads and curi uses litter. They are very good cats love being held and love people. We give them a bath every few months. They will let you know about everything they need. They will cry if they are hungry, if the litter /pad is duty or if there is no water. They are the cutest. They do not jump on furniture due to their condition. Their mobility is limited but they do try. I have hardwood floor all over and they are fine wit that.

Story
I adopted my sweet Samantha from the Durham Animal Shelter. She is a loving 6 year old kitty and was just diagnosed with diabetes Unfortunately, I am not able to care for her the way she needs to be now . She currently lives with her fur brother cat and fur sister dog. She loves to sit on one's lap and purr while you pet her and cuddle with you at night. She is shy with new people at first but will eventually come around with head butts demanding attention! My girl is finicky and only eats dry food. She uses the litter box and the scratching posts. This is truly heartbreaking but I need her to be with someone who is able to care for her the way she deserves.

Story
Archie and Kiko are 3 years old. It takes them a little bit to warm up to you but they are extremely sweet. Hates loud noises and scares easily. They love to be outside. They are sisters from the same litter! They are very chill cats. they like their space. they will come to you when they want cuddles. I am rehoming them because I am moving. They are bonded! So I request that they stay together.
