Story
Verona is truly a sweet cat. She loves to sneak-attack you, loves treats, and loves to sit in your lap. You won't be able to go to bed without her sleeping in between your legs. She would be best in a home with only adults and middle school aged children or older: no other animals, and no young children.

Story
Delilah was found in my apartment complex on June 10th in Wake Forest. I believe she was abandoned by a previous owner. She is the most affectionate cat and loves to be cuddled. She enjoys getting to go outside and would do best in a home with no other pets. She will make an amazing companion for someone but unfortunately I cannot keep her since I have other pets in the house. She is spayed and current on all vaccinations, litter box trained and very clean. She is overweight so I recommend starting her on a low calorie cat food. I am currently feeding her dry and wet food, which she loves! Please consider adopting this sweet girl into your home.

Story
Birdie is a precious 10ish year old medium-length girl. She has th sweetest softest meow and she is chatty when she’s looking for you. She’s extra snuggly. Birdie will sit next to you on the couch, in your lap, curled up next to you in bed or in a sunny window. She came to me from WCAC in December 2025 as a 4yo but my vet thinks she’s more like 10. She has had 4 teeth removed due to neglect from previous owners. Birdie was also already fixed so she was definitely someone’s pet before she ended up at the shelter.I have always wanted a ragdoll(ish) cat but I am rehoming her simply because I cannot handle the allergies. I have had DSH cats all my life and have never been affected but her fur must just be different. I also have a 2 year old cat who is feisty and will not let Birdie live her best retired life in peace. 😁I would love to find Birdie a forever home so I can avoid her going back to the shelter where she came from.

Story
Hello! My name is Lilith and I am just over two years old. I was adopted out of the Wake County animal shelter in 2024. I love to lounge around and enjoy lots of attention. I rarely play with toys but I enjoy time basking in the sun on the back porch. I have little spurts of energy from time to time and I dont meow like normal cats. I have a chirp and a "Raspy/quiet" meow as my owner says. I will eat treats right from your fingers and cuddle close to you at night while you sleep. I know I will be a great first cat or a purr-fect fit for your current furry family. - Love Lilith

Story
Lorax is a sweet sweet boy who loves to nap, eat, and bask in the sun. Unfortunately he does not do well with our 3 ladies. Due to vet recommendation, we are looking to rehome our boy. He would do so well in a house with NO other cats as he tends to be territorial. We’ve tried everything, again under vet recommendation. He was a stray, estimated about 4-5 years old. He has all of his shots, he is chipped, and fixed. He does know how to use the potty. He does like human food and will try and steal sometimes, however he was a stray for so many years. He understands you. You can tell when he thinks about his actions before he does it. He has a little bow tie I made for his collar. He loves cat towers, he can play fetch. He loves to lay next to you. He’s such a sweet boy he really is. He’s just too territorial with our girls. We don’t want them on edge or him on edge by separating/locking them up.

Story
Hello there! I am Gabi. I am a beautiful rustic female tabby. I am just over a year old and was adopted out of the Wake County animal shelter in early 2025. I have a very energetic personality which is fueled by my large appetite. I love to run around, play with fluffy balls and feathers attached to sticks. I will always come visit you in the bathroom and will cuddle as close to you as possible when its time for bed. I cant wait for us to create fun memories together. - Love Gabi
