Story
Tetra is 7 months old. Named after the video game character in Zelda, meaning femal pirate. She is extremely playful and very affectionate. She is very social with humans and other animals. She can amuse herself independently or loves to be played with. Healthy alert and acrobatic. Up to date on all shots and microchipped. Unfortunately our pit bull mix plays too rough and we feel she would be happier and safer in another loving home.

Story
I have a 7-year-old male cat, in need of a new home. He's neutered and vaccinated with up-to-date microchipping and litter training. Very friendly towards people; loves attention and cuddles! Unfortunately, I can't bring him along due to moving (have tried my best). Located in Charleston, SC. He is FIV + It's so sad that there's still stigma around FIV+ cats. 😔 But you know what? They can live happy and healthy lives with proper care and love. FIV is not easily transmitted to other cats, especially in a home environment. In fact Pine has been the healthiest cat I’ve ever had.

Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained,
Story
I got Bella a few weeks ago from a friend that could not take care of her. She was not fixed but I had made an appointment to get her fixed which would have been done on the 19th of April. Unfortunately, she had gotten out of the house a couple weeks before her spay appointment and was missing for 1 week. I finally found her and have found out she is now pregnant. During the time she was missing I had put out missing signs in my neighborhood and that is how my landlord found out. I do not have money for the pet deposit nor am I able to financially or physically able to take care of her or the future kittens. She is a very sweet cat.

Story
Skye Female, DSH, solid gray with white dot on chest, 2-3 years old, 9 lbs Would prefer to be an only cat, older children only, not dog tested Skye so desperately wants to love and be loved but needs to adjust to home life after being on her own, probably since kittenhood. She was found living under a house near a dangerously busy intersection. We believe she recently had a litter of kittens but they were nowhere to be found. She is timid and skittish but will rub against your legs and lean in for cheek rubs! She currently spends most of the day under the bed or couch but will come out late in the evening for some affection and treats! She is definitely nocturnal but will spend much of the night sleeping with her foster mom. Skye loves to be pet and will come when called only with proper motivation, like treats! She is food-motivated and loves catnip! She does not like to be held, but oddly, does not run when her foster mom tries to pick her up! Skye will need a cat savvy family with plenty of patience to work with a cat who has probably been on her own all her life. She has only been in rescue a short time so is still getting acclimated to home life. Her foster mom is convinced that, with time, she will become a wonderful, loving and loyal companion! Adoption fee of $110 covers all vetting including spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, microchip, FIV/FELV test and any other medical that may be required while in rescue.

Story
This lovely lady is 4 years old, has medium length silky fur, the goldest of eyes, and wiskers for days. She has warmed up to her foster momma and may take time but will warm up to her forever person as well. Her family could no longer keep her and reached out for help. If the cat is under the age of 9 months old or has heath issues, a vet reference is required which means you must own a pet or have owned a pet in your name. Adoption fee of $110. covers all vetting including spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, microchip, FIV/FELV test and any other medical that may be required while in rescue.
