Story
My name is Ruby. I'm a sweet, two-year-old girl who is 10 lbs. and loves to play and nap. Since I am pretty young, I still like to play like a kitten. I would really like a kitty friend to play with and enjoy being near my human, just not getting picked up, since I am just a bit timid. She's timid with new people but gets along well with other cats and actually needs a cat companion to show her who is safe. As soon as she sees other cats getting attention, see comes running up. Her personality seemed to change after her last Vet appointment. I've had her since she was a kitten. She loves pets and head scratches and will lay next to you but doesn't really like being picked up.She's very bonded with my old cat, Tom. They seem to be together quite often. So if you have a neutered male and promise to keep her indoors, she would be happy. She could do well with a female too. Doesn’t seem to like dogs but if she has a safe space away from them, it's not a problem. A quiet home without young children would be best because of her shyness. My favorite thing about her is her thick fur. She's soft like a bunny. Her nickname is That could change as I grow! Will you be my HERO? Fill out an application today!November 4, 2024, 8:32 pm

Story
Kitty “Marie” is an indoor only cat. She is white with ocean blue eyes. She only usually loves tuna but she’ll eat chicken when she’s hungry. She learns quickly and understands everything, she is very smart. She doesn’t like to be pet as much but will be extremely loyal and follow you around and lay near you all day. Occasionally, she will show affection and will want you to pet her. She enjoys looking out the window and is very quiet. Will only meow if she is hungry. We would love to keep her but she sheds and my daughter has become allergic to the cat dandruff and hair.

Junior and Sissy are brother and sister. I love both of their personalities. Junior loves to attack his Monster doll or my toes, which ever he comes upon first! Sissy thinks the bouncing cardboard is a bug she needs to catch. These guys are total loves both to people and each other. Both also gets along great with other kitties. They were born indoors when their mom Honey was rescued very pregnant so they are healthy and happy kittens. Junior and Sissy would love to be adopted together, which is our first choice. We may consider separating to be a buddy to another young active kitty. If you bring these two into your home they will be a wonderful addition to your family.. Junior and Sissy are healthy, vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, negative for FeLV/FIV and microchipped. Please complete our adoption questionnaire at Southerncountiesrescue.org to meet or learn more about Junior and Sissy. Personality traits Friendly, Gentle, Playful, Smart, Curious, Funny

Simba looks like a little lion and absolutely adores other cats. My family has a cat and she doesnt want anything to do with him, but Simba will still try to play w/ her so it would be great to have other welcoming cats w/ him. He is a little lover & I’m gonna hate to see him go. Hes absolutely perfect, but my schedule just doesnt fit with a cats needs. He deserves much more than what I can give him. Hes about 7 months & neutered. I want to make sure he goes to the right home as he is so precious.

Story
These kittens were born in my closet and have never been outside. Their mom is also an indoor cat, as well as their dad. We just didn’t neuter him in time when we got him. They are both pretty healthy, they shouldn’t have any health issues. The parents as well. They’re both very playful and curious of course. The one with the spot over his nose is more laid back, he loves to cuddle and nap. The other one with the spot over his chin is a little more mischievous and adventurous. They are both very nice and allow any kind of handling from humans. I have a 1.5 year old and a 3 year old - who have been picking them up and stuff since they could walk around and the cats have never harmed them. They don’t bite or scratch intentionally. We also have a golden retriever and they don’t mind her either.
