Story
Milo (6) is the definition of an easy cat! He requires food, water, snuggles, and a good couch to lounge on! I adopted him as a kitten and he has never been a problem. He is a smidge overweight, but hey… just more to love! The only reason we are looking to rehome him is due to my husband’s severe and worsening allergies and an increasingly busier schedule as we are looking to start a family soon. We want him to get the time and love he deserves from a family, couple, or individual that is in a better season than us and is not affected by the dander and fur. We are willing to travel to the right person and can provide any and all supplies we have for him for the transition. (food, litter box, etc.)

Story
I got Naavi as a foster through animal control. She was seized from her home where she was abandoned when the owners moved out and left her and other pets behind. She has clearly been neglected. She was covered in scabs and fleas when I first brought her home. I’ve had her for about six months and animal control had me either return or adopt her so I adopted her. My home is not her forever home. I have multiple pets that scare and annoy her. And nieces that stress her out. She’s a wonderful lady who needs a quiet safe home to blossom. Please consider being Naavi’s home.

Story
Meet Sam, he is an almost 8 year old male orange tabby, with a sweet and lovable personality. He is a big boy (approx 23 pounds), and prefers to have grooming and lions cut for the spring/summer to ensure his fur stays beautiful. He is good with other cats and dogs (as long as they are also welcoming & friendly). He is friendly with children from a distance, but prefers to keep space. He enjoys long naps, cuddling in the evenings, and getting head and chin scratches. Sam is looking for a home that is calm, kind, and peaceful, and that will love him as much as he will be sure to love you.

Story
We adopted Tucker in 2018 at six weeks old from the Avery County Humane Society. We are moving to another home because my mom has had cancer and she is coming to live with us. Tucker has been living with other cats and is very stressful because of it. He needs a home where he can be the only cat and be loved on. He loves to be rubbed and he will sit in your lap only on his own terms. He does not like to be picked up and held, but he loves rubs and loves to march on soft blankets.

Story
Hello this is Phantom! He is a friendly flame-point kitty who is two years old! I’ve had him since he was a kitten and I lived on my own for quite some time, but recently due to my own circumstances had to move back home with my family who also owns cats. Phantom is very family friendly, but doesn’t get along with other cats. He’s fond of new people and gets along well with children. He’s also a pretty calm cat and has a very sweet meow. He likes playing with wands especially the feathery ones and those cat gogurt things LOL he used to live with a dog as well and he was fine with it. As long as properly introduced I think he will be okay with dogs. He really likes attention like petting and being talked to, he also can be picked up. He usually likes being held and he likes his butt pats. He’s always been a sweet cat, but I think it would be in his best interest to live with someone that might not have a cat and would love the company of one. Thank you for your time!
