✨🐾 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.

🌙🐾 Meet Moon! 🐾🌙 📍 Location: Lexington, SC 🐱 Name: Moon (2) 🎂 Age: ~1.5 years 🐾 Breed: DSH – Grey & White ♂️ Sex: Male 💉 Vetting: Neutered ✅ | Rabies & FVRCP UTD ✅ | Flea prevention UTD ✅ | Microchipped ✅ 🐕🐈👶 Good with dogs, cats, and kids? ✔️ Tolerates other animals but prefers his own space (he was bullied in his last home 😿). ✔️ Fine with kids once he warms up. 🏡 Reason for rehoming: Owner surrender ✨ Moon’s Personality: Moon is a shy sweetheart who just needs a little patience to shine ✨. At first, he’ll likely keep his distance and observe from afar 👀 — but once he realizes you’re safe, he turns into a total lovebug 💕. He LOVES treats 🍬, pets 🤗, and rubbing all over his human once he trusts them. Don’t expect him to show off at a meet-and-greet — he’ll probably hide 🙈. But give him time, consistency, and kindness, and you’ll be rewarded with one of the most loyal companions you could ask for. 💜 📩 Interested in adopting Moon? Comment or message with his name! ⚠️ Adoption application & contract required to ensure he finds the safe, loving home he deserves.

Story
We have had Winchester for a year. He is 3 years old and is very loving and sweet. He has torn up our furniture and our Christmas tree lights. He needs to be in a home with other cats. He had good demeanor when we first got him from Craigslist. Over the year he has gotten worse and worse. I would love to see him go to a good home where he is treated right and can run around and play with other cats. He was found under a trailer along with his sister at just a few months old. His previous owners bottle fed him until he could eat regular cat food. He loves wet food and dry food-he just loves wet food more. Every time I go into the kitchen he follows me and acts like he's never been fed which is quite annoying. He loves to play with rubber bands, cat nip (of course), hair bands, anything that you can throw he will fetch and bring it back like a dog. It is the funniest thing. He doesn't know what to do with himself when we're not home all day.
