Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Stripe. He loves weaving around my legs, watching me brush my teeth and snuggling in bed with me. He loves loves loves snuggling as closely as he can in my bed at night. I do believe he developed FOMO (fear of missing out) as he follows me everywhere I go. Nothing is private when he is around ( including my bathroom breaks) but at least I’m never lonely. I’m thinking of changing his name to Dash or Flash because darts through any door I open first to assure that he is not left behind. As you can see by his pictures….his personality is BIG! He gets along great with other cats and dogs. How could you not love this silly boy? He is fully vetted and microchipped. To inquire more about him please email us at stfureverfreedomar@gmail.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 28, 2026, 12:41 pm

Story
This kitten is not available for adoption since he/she is too young for spay/neuter surgery. Only animals that are available for surgery (meaning that they are old enough and weigh enough) are available for adoption. This kitten is only on the website since he/she came in as a stray and we must show them during stray hold. We do not accept deposits or make lists of interested adopters on underage kittens. Please come to the Animal Center to view available kittens on our adoption floor. If you are interested in becoming a long term kitten foster, please visit our website at www.wake.gov/pets/foster to see what is involved and for the application process.

Story
This pet was brought in as a stray and will NOT be available for adoption through our program. All stray animals brought in are posted on the gallery to hopefully be reunited with their families. Each pet is evaluated upon arrival, and throughout their stay, at the Animal Center and we do our best to place the animal in the setting most appropriate for them. Sometimes, they may be better served through one of our Transfer Partners due to the intervention needed, ongoing care required or a quieter setting for that individual. We want our animals to put their best paw forward. If you are a 501c3 rescue and are interested in partnering with WCAC to help this pet, and others, you can find more information on how to help at: https://www.wakegov.com/departments-government/animal-services/community-partners/transfer-program If this is your pet, please contact us immediately at AnimalCenter@wake.gov Primary Color: Tabby- Grey Weight: 12.26 Age: 2yrs 0mths 0wks
