Domestic Mediumhair kittens & cats in Belton, South Carolina

Duke and Darla are a package deal. They are brother and sister. I fostered them from when they were 4 weeks old. They are very loving and affectionate. Duke is more like a dog than a cat. He will come when you call him and he will fetch a ball when you throw it. They can be high energy. Duke is almost double the size of Darla. He can play rough with her at times which can lead to you distracting him to get his attention off of her. They both love to sleep next to me at night. The reason I am looking to find them a new home is my work travel has increased a lot. I feel they hate when I am gone for days at a time and prefer to be around someone all the time. They grew up with a dog and early on they loved to cuddle up with him. As they have gotten older they are a little more dominant towards him. Darla will give him a paw to the butt sometimes. Many a cat hater has said these two have made them warm up to cats. They were born on 7/31/2023.

Special Needs- sweet Nikki Sweet Nikki was found as a stray by a wonderful friend (who has since passed away).  During her medical exam, it was discovered that Nikki has a significant cleft palate. However, she had already been spayed, and except for mild nasal discharge, was remarkably healthy! Our friend, because of her own declining health, had opted for euthanasia for Nikki, but was so happy when I said I would take care of her and try to find her a special home. Nikki is so very sweet, loving, calm, and petite. She tolerates my crazy dogs, and does well with my own cats and my many fosters.  Nikki is "special needs" because of her cleft palates.  She gets frequent sinus infections, which require antibiotics fairly frequently.  I currently keep Azithromycin on hand for her and fo a 3-5 day course as needed (per her DVMs instructions).   ##1866161##

Meet Socks – The Big Guy with Big Personality (and a Bit of Sass) Say hello to Socks, a 1.5-year-old house panther with a whole lot of personality (and a little extra floof around the middle). He’s a BIG boy—solid, handsome, and maybe just a touch chunky—but that just means there’s more of him to love. Socks is playful, curious, and definitely has a mind of his own. He loves attention—when he’s ready for it—and don’t be surprised if he throws you a grumpy old man look or two while he decides. With his signature mean mug face, he’s got the perfect balance of “I run this place” energy and secretly sweet charm. Aloof at times and a little shy in new situations, Socks warms up on his own terms, but once you're in his circle, he’s loyal and affectionate (with a side of sass). Whether you’re looking for a solo sidekick or want to add him to your cat crew, Socks will do just fine—he gets along well with other cats and knows how to hold his own. And bonus: His brother Vern is also available! Sleek, long, and lean, Vern is the yin to Socks’ yang. Adopt one and gain a cool companion. Adopt both, and you’ve got a legendary duo. Come meet Socks—grump face and all. He just might be your perfect match. ##2057140##

**History:** This little guy, Zen, was rescued from under a staff member's family home. There were five kittens and a feral mother living beneath the house. After two weeks, they realized the mother had not returned, and the kittens began to disappear as well. Only two kittens remained when the staff member managed to catch Zen. We also rescued his sibling, Ash (who was adopted)! Zen is a lovable, energetic kitten who brings big joy in a tiny package! He has completely blossomed into a confident, affectionate, and hilarious little guy who keeps his foster family laughing every day. He’s incredibly playful—especially when string toys are involved—and he enjoys running around with other cats. Zen also has a special bond with his 5-year-old foster human, showing how well he adapts to gentle kids and family life. When he's not busy chasing toys or wrestling with his feline friends, Zen loves snuggling up for pets and naps. He’s got the perfect mix of playful kitten energy and sweet, cuddly charm. Ready to make Zen part of your family? Apply to adopt him at: www.crossroadsanimalrescue.org (Please complete the “Cat Adoption Application”) To meet one of our adoptable pets or to start the adoption process, please access the adoption application on our website, www.crossroadsanimalrescue.org or download and email it to crossroadsanimalrescuesc@gmail.com. We will then approve you (sending in the application does not obligate you to adopt) and we can set up a time for you to meet one or more of our pets. You can then pay the adoption fee and officially adopt after meeting your new family member. Alternatively, you can do the adoption over the phone before meeting your new pet. The benefit to this is that we will hold the pet for you. However, the adoption fee is non-refundable if you changed your mind after adopting over the phone. Most of our pets are obtained from animal control and therefore we are not certain of their breed or breed mix. We list breed mixes that they most resemble or that their former owners said they were. However, we don't make any guarantees about breed - it is a best guess! Our adoption fees include the spay/neuter surgery, deworming, vet exam, and up to date vaccines. It also includes microchipping as well as heartworm testing or feline leukemia testing. We are happy to adopt out-of-state (and even out of the country!) but transportation for the adopted pet is the responsibility of the new pet owner. If you cannot adopt a pet at this time but would like to support our rescue, please click on the "Sponsor a Pet" button. Your donation will help feed the dogs, cats, small animals, and horses at CARE. Please email at crossroadsanimalrescuesc@gmail.com or call us at (864)972-9906 for more information. This phone number will reach Crossroads Animal Hospital, which is the home of CARE. During business hours, a receptionist will be able to speak with you regarding our adoptable pets. After business hours, the only way to contact CARE is via email. Our puppies and kittens are also eligible for 10% off the rest of the vaccines in their puppy/kitten vaccination series at Crossroads Animal Hospital. Most adult pets are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Puppies and kittens may have the surgery before adoption or we may have new owners return later for the surgery.
