Story
Zuko is a very sweet, cuddly little man and we love him very much, but unfortunately we can't keep up with his medical needs and give him the care and attention he deserves. He was abandoned in northern VA several years ago and picked us to be his humans while we were visiting family for the holidays, and came back to NC with us in 2022. We don't know his age, but he acts like a little old man. He has 1 sightless eye, which the vet said will not require enucleation unless something changes, and suffers from chronic ear infections and allergies. We suspect his hip was broken at one point and has arthritis, but he still runs around and jumps on things he shouldn't. He loves every person he meets, and tolerates our two dogs, but has an absolute zero tolerance policy for other cats - he will choose violence EVERY time. He will come with a litter robot 4 and a cat tree, as well as various cat toys and beds and bowls, if desired.

Story
Hi, I’m Penny. I’m a regal princess with a big heart full of love! I enjoy being petted & held, and I love to play with my sister Willow. It’s not a requirement that we get adopted together although it would make us so happy if we do. If you’re looking for endless entertainment & joy in your life, we’re your girls! When we’re not snuggled up with people or each other & enjoying pets, we’re running around together having a good time. We were rescued from a former life of struggle & neglect. Now we are loving the comforts of indoor living and we are looking forward to meeting our forever human(s). them, contact Adelia at (910) 431-2932 or visit them Saturday & Sunday at PetsMart at 4715 New Centre Dr. in Wilmington. It's in the same shopping center as Target. They'll be there from 11-4.February 26, 2026, 1:49 pm
