Story
Lady Marmalade is done with kitten duty and is ready to be loved and spoiled for the beauty she is.  She's sweet and affectionate with a little bit of spice.  She's not a lap cat yet but she will be when she trusts you.  Quiet and well-behaved and uses her litter like a champ. Unfortunately spent some time outside so she will have to be watched until she feels at home.  Probably not suitable for small children. Indoor cat only. The adoption fee is $25. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to: https://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org/cat-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina. Optional transport is weekly.  After your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you so desire.  May 4, 2025, 2:41 pm
