Story
Very sweet and loves everyone and everything. Loves to receive pets and get attention, but doesn’t require constant attention either. Doesn’t enjoy wet food, but eats dry food with no problems. Can be shy at first (hides) but once she warms up she loves her human attention.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Location: Pelion, SC (current foster home) or West Columbia, SC Name: Raven Age: 12 to 13 years but doesn’t act her age (acts younger) Breed: DSH Solid Black M/F: F Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on rabies & fvrcp, spayed Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: all of the above! Aggression or medical issues?: none that we are aware of Reason for rehoming?: from a hoarding situation Additional info/story (personality): Very friendly, sweet, and loves attention. Came from a really bad situation and amazingly warmed up to her new wonderful life extremely fast. Now she just needs her forever home to spend it the rest of her years with. She is definitely a kitty I expect to live to be another 5-10 years at least as she just doesn’t look or act her age in the slightest. *gross cage pic is from her original situation and solely included for you to see her features better since my camera quality is better than the foster’s camera* Message/comment if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment. Adoption application & contract required

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Location: West Columbia, SC Name: Blake Age: 1 year (DOB: 12/27/22) Breed: DSH - 15 lbs M/F: M Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on rabies & fvrcp; neutered Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: all of the above but normally isn’t a fan of being carrier around Reason for rehoming?: mom was rescued and gave birth a couple days later to this guy and his brother; they were adopted and returned due to no fault of their own Additional info/story (personality): Very sweet once adjusted but shy at first! They were raised inside from birth but adopted their mom’s personality who simply is just more introverted. He is fine with getting pets and scritches and he likes playing with toys and other cats, just not the biggest fan of being held, and takes a bit to come out of his shell. Message/email if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment. Adoption application & contract required to ensure good home.

Story
Location: West Columbia, SC Name: Zeus Age: 1 year Breed: DSH M/F: M Spayed/Neutered/Shots: yes - UTD on vaccines & neutered Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: all of the above but likes to do his own thing (will tolerate being carried but definitely doesn’t enjoy it) Aggression or medical issues?: none except his eye will water if he gets stressed out (clear fluid – returns to normal within a day after stressor is removed which in his case has always been car rides / big transitions) Reason for rehoming?: friend found him abandoned outside their apartments. Owners had moved out, left all cat supplies at the trash, and left him outside.Additional info/story (personality): Probably the oddest orange cat you will ever meet in the sense that he does not act like a typical orange cat at all. He is very laid back and makes the oddest expressions. He talks minimally. He will act like he wants nothing to do with you and then you will wake up from a nap or be half asleep and he will crawl up next to you and go to sleep himself. Definitely still a special one though. Message/comment if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment.
