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
Looking to Rehome Our Two Siamese Cats – Must Stay Together This is a very hard post to write, but due to my daughter’s allergies, and another child on the way, we need to find a new loving home for our two indoor Siamese cats, Benny and Winston.  Winston is striking chocolate point and Benny is a sweet flame point. Both are neutered, healthy, and fully up to date on vaccinations. Located Raleigh/Durham NC  They are brothers, almost 3 years old, full of energy, and deeply bonded . They must stay together! They are both super sweet, affectionate, and love to cuddle (when they’re not climbing to the highest spot in the house!). Benny is a little shy and doesn’t like being picked up, but he’ll happily snuggle up next to you on his own terms. They’re indoor-only cats, and because they love to jump and explore, a house would be better than an apartment. We’re heartbroken to let them go, so we’re looking for a caring, stable home that will give them the attention and space they need.

Story
I’ve had Courage for almost two years. I got him from a friend as a companion for my other cat, Blossom. Since then, he’s brought a fun and playful energy into the home. Courage is energetic and can be a little hyper at times, especially when he’s feeling playful, but he’s also surprisingly quiet. For the most part, he really enjoys lounging and sleeping once he’s gotten his bursts of energy out. He has a sweet personality and adjusts well to routine. I’m looking for a loving home that can give him attention, playtime, and a comfortable space to relax. He would do well with someone who appreciates a cat that has playful moments but also enjoys his rest. Most importantly, I want him to go somewhere safe, patient, and caring where he can continue to thrive.

Story
Claude is a big, handsome boy, a heavyweight champion clocking in at almost 15 lbs. We believe he is about 5 to 6 years old. Claude is a people-oriented cat, and while he has no problem with women, his true love is men. He loves to greet people at the door, sit beside you, purr, and get chin scritches. He is dearly loved, but unfortunately he is not a fan of our senior cats. He gets along well with other cats, though, as long as he has sufficient space to have his own territory. I could also see him thriving as part of a 1 cat household. Claude is very smart but not a huge treats guy, so he loves to play with the feather wand, laser, and kibble puzzle toys. He adores watching the birds out the window and taking stroller rides around the neighborhood. He definitely is a cat that craves stimulation and new challenges and I could see him taking to a running wheel if he had the chance. Claude is neutered and house trained, never has had issues with accidents.

Story
I adopted my cat during COVID from a friend when she was a kitten. She is now 6 years old and has been a part of my life during some really important seasons. She’s familiar with a home environment and does well with routine. She is independent but affectionate in her own way. I would describe her as calm, observant, gentle, and low-maintenance. She enjoys having her own space but will come around when she’s ready for attention. I’m looking for a loving, stable home where she can receive consistent care and attention. Ideally, someone who has the time and patience to give her the companionship she deserves. She would do best in a home that can provide a peaceful environment and continue giving her a safe, comfortable life.
