🐾 PROJECT KITTEN: Libya 📍 Lexington, SC ✨ About Libya Age: ~6 months (DOB ~3/25/25) Breed: Domestic Short Hair – mostly white with a few soft grey spots Size: Very tiny! At just 4–5 lbs, she’s about 2 lbs smaller than most kittens her age. Her mom and siblings are all petite too, so she’ll stay adorably small even when grown. Gender: Female Vetting: Spayed, microchipped, ear-tipped, tattooed, dewormed, up to date on rabies & FVRCP vaccines, and current on flea prevention 💜 Libya’s Story Libya came from a TNR colony and has made amazing progress learning to trust people. With me, she’s become a total sweetheart — affectionate, playful, and loving. But meeting new people? That’s still hard for her. She’ll act nearly feral at first, just like she did when she first arrived. With a little patience and a calm approach, though, she completely transforms. It took about a month for her to warm up to me, and she’ll do the same for her new person — someone who gives her space, kindness, and consistency. She’s been great with other animals she has interacted with and would do best in a peaceful home where she can feel secure and open up on her own timeline. Think of her as a little “project kitten” — one who’ll repay your patience a hundredfold once she feels safe. 💌 Interested? Message or comment below! Please include Libya’s name when you reach out — I’m helping rehome several rescues right now. An adoption application and contract are required to ensure a great match. Let’s find this tiny, brave girl the loving home she deserves! 🐱💕

✨🐾 Sweet Senior Looking for Her Forever Home! 🐾✨ 📍 Location: Lexington, SC 💖 Name: Freya 🎂 Age: ~14.5 years (DOB: ~1/1/11) 🐱 Breed: DSH – Patched Brown Tabby 👩‍🦰 M/F: Female 🩺 Spayed/Neutered/Shots: Spayed ✅ Vaccines updated 8/29 or 9/5 ✅ UTD on flea prevention 🐾 Good with dogs, cats, kids? Yes! Freya has been fine with all of the above. She doesn’t love other animals in her personal space, but she’s learned to tolerate even the overly affectionate ones around her. ⚠️ Aggression/Medical Issues: None! 🚽 House/crate trained?: Litter trained! 🌟 About Freya (personality & story): Freya is an absolute lovebug 💕 She enjoys treats, pets, and even chatting with you (yes, she’s quite the talker 🗣️🐾). While she isn’t a fan of being held, she loves coming up on her own to spend time with you. Her story is heartbreaking but inspiring: she was rescued from a hoarder house 2 years ago, where she had been kept in a cage for a decade 💔 With the help of a patient foster, she blossomed into a confident, social butterfly 🦋—often the very first to greet strangers for attention. Despite her “senior” age, Freya acts nothing like it! Everyone who meets her is shocked when they hear she’s 14. She could easily be one of those magical kitties who lives happily into her 20s. ✨ 📩 Interested? Message or comment! Please include her name (“Freya”) so we know which rescue you’re inquiring about. 📝 Adoption application & contract required to ensure she goes to a loving home. 💜 Freya has already been through so much… let’s make sure her golden years are truly golden. 🐾👑

✨💃 TWINKLETOES – THE SASS QUEEN! 🐾⚡ 📍 Location: Lexington, SC 🐱 Name: Twinkletoes 🍼 Age: ~6.5 months (~DOB: 4/2/25) 🐾 Breed: DSH – Patched Brown Tabby ♀️ Sex: Female 💉 Vetting: Dewormed, ✅ flea prevention, ✅ 3 rounds FVRCP + rabies, ✅ spayed 🐶🐱👧👦 Good with: Dogs ✔️ Cats ✔️ Kids ✔️ 🚽 Training: Litter box = mastered like a pro 👑 💫 About Me: Twinkletoes may look like she’s silently judging you 😼… and, well, maybe she is. But that’s part of her charm! This little diva is full of personality — playful, confident, and sassy with a capital S. She’s the kind of kitten who struts through the room like she owns it, swats her toys dramatically, and then curls up nearby for some well-earned beauty rest. She’s fine being held (once she’s done with her royal duties, of course) and enjoys attention — just on her terms. 💅 She’s silly, spunky, and secretly a sweetheart. Basically? She’s that girl. ✅ Plays great with dogs, cats, and kids — as long as they understand she’s the star of the show. 📩 Message/comment if interested! Make sure to include her name (Twinkletoes) since I’m helping several rescues find homes. 📝 Adoption application & contract required to ensure a loving forever home.

🐾 PROJECT KITTEN ALERT: Meet Xan – The Beautiful, Bashful Magpie! 📍 Location: Lexington, SC Name: Xan Age: ~6.5 months (DOB: ~3/29/25) Breed: DSH – Magpie (black & white beauty!) Spayed/Neutered/Shots: Spayed, 3 rounds of FVRCP, rabies, microchipped, UTD on flea prevention & dewormed ✅ Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: Yes — once she’s had time to settle and feels safe! Aggression or medical issues?: None. She’s healthy, just extremely shy with new people. Additional info/story (personality): Xan is what we call a “project kitten” — she’s come a long way from her feral beginnings but still struggles with trust when meeting new people. She will not allow handling during a meet and greet or right after adoption. However, once she adjusts and feels secure, she’s an entirely different cat — affectionate, playful, and gentle. She loves soft pets, tasty wet food, and curling up near her trusted humans and feline friends. She’s not aggressive — just scared at first — and needs a patient adopter willing to give her time and space to bloom. For the right person, she’ll be an incredibly rewarding companion. 💕 📩 Message/comment if interested. Please include her name (“Xan”) since I’m helping rehome several animals. 📋 Adoption application & contract required to ensure a loving, safe, and stable home. 🐾 Let’s find this shy sweetheart a forever home that understands patience pays off. 🖤

💫 Meet Ziva: Pocket-Sized Purr Machine with Big Love Energy 📍 Location: Lexington, SC 🐾 Name: Ziva 🎂 Age: ~1 year (Estimated DOB: 10/2/23) 🐱 Breed: Domestic Shorthair Tabby ⚖️ Size: Tiny but mighty — only 5 lbs! 🚺 Sex: Female ✂️ Spayed: Yes 💉 Vaccines: UTD on Rabies & FVRCP 🪲 Flea Prevention: Current 🐾 Good With: ✅ Dogs: Yes ✅ Cats: Yes ✅ Kids: Yes Ziva is a social butterfly who adores everyone and everything — maybe a little too much! She’s so fearless and friendly that she’s nearly been trampled a few times for trying to cuddle dogs who weren't in the mood. Supervision around rowdier pups is a must! 🚫 Aggression or Medical Issues? No aggression at all. She does have a bit of a sneezy personality — always has — but she’s never had nasal or eye discharge. A sprinkle of Lysine powder in her food helps if she gets a little extra sniffly. 💔 Why She’s Looking for a Home: Ziva and her siblings were clearly dumped and ended up at someone’s house before being surrendered to us. She’s now ready for a real forever home. 💖 Personality: Ziva is extremely affectionate, curious, and confident. She wants to be everywhere you are — rubbing on your legs, cuddling other animals, investigating every new thing. She’s the perfect blend of cuddly and playful… except when it comes to being held. That’s her one quirk — pick her up and she turns into a squirmy, wiggly ninja. She’s not mean about it, just dramatic. Ziva will thrive in a home that appreciates her outgoing, loving personality and is okay with keeping cuddle time on her terms (aka — paws on the ground, please!). 📩 Interested? Send me a message with her name (Ziva) so I know who you're asking about — I have multiple animals I'm helping rehome. ✔️ Adoption application & contract required to ensure she finds the loving home she deserves.
