Story
We adopted Misty almost a year ago. She had a leg injury which required amputation (right rear leg). We paid the vet bills and helped her adjust to amputee life. She gets around fine but stays close to home. She is a young adult, probably 2 years old. She is indoor/outdoor currently but only goes outside when weather is nice. She is litter box trained. She loves people but not other cats. We had three cats when we adopter her, and we hoped that she would learn to socialize since she was still young, but that never happened. She is territorial, and wants to be "alpha" all the time. She would do well as an only cat or maybe in a large home with plenty of room for two cat "territories". Our house is very small, so it's not working well. She begs for petting whenever a human walks by and loves to sit in a lap in the evening. Sometimes she'll nap with you on the couch. She's good with kids. She loves to be scratched on the neck. BOTTOM LINE: Loves humans but not other cats!

She will of course be shy with you at first meeting, but she does warm up to you and her surroundings pretty quickly.According to the previous owner, Kitty did not live with other cats, but has lived with a small dog and children.She is just wanting to have her next chapter to be all about her and how pampered she can be and how much love she can give her new family.If you are interested in adoption, please go to the Cherokee County Animal Shelter Facebook page Friday night at 5:30 to view our new post, you will see the new animals that will be available Saturday morning at 10:00am and that post will also advise you how to go about our adoption process.Thank you~ Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Calico Weight: 10.28 Age: 10yrs 1mths 1wks

Story
This very handsome boy is Henry. He was brought to the shelter as a stray after being lured into a garage for some food.He is timid at first meeting, which is normal for being here at the shelter. He did not seem to react one way or the other to the cats here at the shelter, but he does prefer his own space, and to be fed wet food along with his morning and evening meals. He may make a good an indoor/outdoor cat, but we will leave that up to you to see if he which he would prefer.Because he was a stray, we are unsure of how he does with kids, so please be sure to bring them with you so we can be sure it is a good fit.If you are interested in adoption, please go to the Cherokee County Animal Shelter Facebook page Friday night at 5:30 to view our new post, you will see the new animals that will be available Saturday morning at 10:00am and that post will also advise you how to go about our adoption process.Thank you~ Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 8.59 Age: 2yrs 0mths 4wks

Story
This very handsome guy is Bandit. He is 11 1/2 years of age and was surrendered to the shelter by his owners through no fault of his own, they just could not care for him any longer.Bandit would do best in an adult only home with no other animals and please note that he must be an INSIDE ONLY cat as he is a Quad Declawed cat. If you are interested in meeting him, please stop by the shelter. Thank you~ Primary Color: Chocolate Point Weight: 12.59 Age: 11yrs 7mths 3wks

Story
This beautiful little lady is Rhiannon. She was brought into the shelter as a stray because the finder said she was so sweet, but afraid she would be hurt if she stayed outside any longer. She was obviously owner previously because she had no idea of how to be outside or what to do~If you interested in meeting this sweet, beautiful girl and would like to add her to your family, Rhiannon has done well with the other cat in her open cat room and was also great with our children volunteers. Please stop by to meet her, you will be very glad you did.Thank you~ Primary Color: Calico Weight: 7.53 Age: 1yrs 6mths 1wks

Story
Saint and Raider are brothers who were originally adopted back in 2021 when they were kittens, but were unfortunately dumped in the parking lot behind my office complex. At the time, I was living alone and temporarily housed them. Now, with a new baby human addition and moving in with someone allergic to cats, we do not have the ability to keep them much longer. They are both super sweet and very personable. They enjoy being around people and love attention. They are very patient with my 8 month old so I would assume they would be great with kids of all ages. Since this would be their 3rd owner, I would like to make sure they find their forever home. They love attention so their new owner needs to be able to provide lots of cuddles and love!

Sweet Romeo Blue was loose in a neighborhood for years.  He was abandoned twice before finding a rescuer to get him inside!  Finding him to be a big lover boy we decided he can't roam the dangerous streets anymore!  He is fine with nice dogs, and is okay with very nice cats,  but wouldn't be sad to be an only cat.  He is super affectionate and loving, giving head butts and kisses.    ##951058##

He is about 6 1/2 years old. He is fixed and chipped. He is a wonderful, warm, friendly, cuddly, talkative cat who is an indoor only kitty. I need to rehome him because I have medical issues. I cannot care for him. I live alone. He deserves a loving home. I have everything to go with him toys, bed, play tunnels, brush, nail clipper, etc.
