Story
Hello World, meet Poe! Poe is one of three little boys (brothers Midnight and Shadow, also adoptable0 who were rescued from Shipyard Plantation on Hilton Head Island, along with their Mom, Sapphire (adopted), who looks to be a Russian Blue. Like so many discarded cats on the island, their prospects were grim until a kind volunteer opened up her heart and home to the whole family. They have been getting the emotional and physical rehabilitation they so desperately needed. Although they all were shy to begin, they are doing GREAT. Poe is the most outgoing and adventurous of the 3 kittens and we are starting to see his silly and fun side now. He is slowly beginning to see that humans can be great and is seeking out attention and a little bit of petting. As you can see from the video, his siblings sit and watch him and if he says it’s okay, it’s okay! Poe will make a full recovery, he just needs a patient, kind furever family to let him blossom. We are looking for a feline-loving home with another (more outgoing?) kitten or cat in the house or it would be incredible if he could adopt with one of his brothers or Mom. He is about 4 months old, fully vetted, neutered and has excellent litter box habits. Won’t you give him a shot at life? INDOOR HOMES ONLY! Outside living was not kind to our little Poe and he has no desire to go back to that struggle. To adopt Poe, please fill out our required application, which can be found here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SPLC/Cat For the safety of all of our animals, a home check (in person or video) is also a requirement of adoption, but we make that as unobtrusive and convenient as possible.

Story
Carth is a 5‑month‑old orange tabby boy who has fully embraced his role as the household commentator. He always has something to say, whether he’s greeting you, asking for attention, or narrating his adventures. His meows are soft, frequent, and impossibly charming. Carth is social, sweet, and endlessly curious. He’d thrive in a home that enjoys a chatty companion and has plenty of time for play and snuggles. If you’re looking for a kitten who brings personality, affection, and entertainment in equal measure, Carth is ready to move right in and make himself at home.

Story
Spike is desperately seeking a new home because his owner is in hospice/hospital care and she will no longer be able to care for him. Salty Paws is helping the family find him a new home, as soon as possible. Spike is a pint-sized gorgeous, classic Tabby who is very loving and also has a super fun streak. He has the playful attitude of a kitten without the over-the-top energy. We just think he knows how to stay young and can amuse himself when his person is not able. He would make anyone an amazing new BFFF (best feline friend forever). He is already missing his person and is so anxious to get back into a home where he can be with his furever family. He would do great in most loving, indoor, cat-centric homes. Spike has lived with Thomas (also adoptable) for four years, and would be wonderful continuing on with his brother, but they are not bonded. So he’d do great in as your one-and-only or as a pal to an existing cat too. If you are interested in adopting this paw-some little guy, who has been through so much, please fill out our easy, required, application today. This is the link: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SPLC/Cat Due to the urgency of Spike’s situation, we would also work with family who would consider fostering him until we do find his family. For the safety of our animals, a home check is a requirement of adoption, but we make this as convenient and unobtrusive as we can. Thank you for considering an urgent rescue cat! INDOOR HOMES ONLY!
