Story
Lucifer (Luci) has been with me for 7 years. It started out just he and I but as my family grew and he got older he has begun to show signs of stress. He is not a huge fan of my children or my Husky :( Luci is a sweet talkative boy who loves being outside and cuddled up indoors. He needs a loving, quiet home!! He thrives in quiet stress free environments and I’m very sad to admit I can’t offer him that home anymore. He is front declawed and had his last checkup 1/26/2024. He is prescribed Fluoxitine for anxiety and it’s on prescription feed for urine crystals. I don’t want any money for him all I want is a good home

Story
Maui is 1 year old, littler box trained, and is such a sweet boy. He can be shy at first, but when he warms up to you he will want all the pets. He is a very affectionate boy and full of love. He can be skittish around small children at first. He loves to play with his brother Bruno and sister May May, and they also live with other male and female cats and have no issues getting along. He lives with 3 dogs of different sizes and gets along as well. Maui has lived inside his whole life. Maui is such a soft sweet boy and just waiting for his forever home!IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats.

Mei Mei is about 1 year old, litter box trained and cute as a button. She’s smaller than her brothers Bruno and Maui, giving the impression she’s still a baby.

Along with her brothers she also lives with other male and female cats and plays very well with them. Mei Mei has lived inside her whole life. Mei Mei is such a good girl and would fit nicely in good home. Is yours the home for her??

Story
Hello wonderful humans, I'm Pumpkin – your next feline friend with a heart as golden as my eyes! Picture this: a gorgeous orange tabby, just a little under a year old, with front paws that look like I'm wearing the most adorable socks. I was found in an apartment complex with not-so-friendly dogs, but let's not dwell on the past – my future is where the real adventure begins.Affectionate? Oh, you have no idea! I'm a pro at purring, and I've got a soft spot for following you around like your own personal shadow. Athletic? You bet! I like to show off my acrobatic moves, pretending I'm the star of a kitty circus.Now, let's talk about my biscuit-making skills – it's practically an art form. I'll knead away on any surface I can find, and sometimes, I even do it in the air. A feline acrobat with a love for baking, that's me!I do have a bit of a sour patch kid side – a mix of salty and sweet. When I've had enough, I might give you a playful little slap to let you know. It's all in good fun, I promise!As for my social calendar, I'm a people lover. Children, adults, you name it – I've never met a stranger I didn't like. While I might prefer the title of 'solo cat,' I can tolerate cat-friendly dogs, they seem okay.Neutered, up-to-date on all my vaccines, and microchipped – I'm the whole package! You can find me at the rescue, ready and waiting for my forever home. So, if you're on the lookout for a charming, acrobatic, and affectionate feline companion, look no further. I'm Pumpkin, and I'm ready to sprinkle a little pumpkin spice into your life!IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats.

Story
Meet Emma Pearl! Emma is about 1 year old and was found starving and abused in a busy restaurant parking lot. There was a group of young teens that were kicking her around trying to get her to leave the premises. The restaurant owner said that she had been there for a couple of weeks begging and searching for food. A good Samaritan took her in because she couldn't let her continue to be abused. The kitty was nervous at first but quickly warmed up.Emma has a strong personality. She is very playful and affectionate. She is constantly poking at the other cats (she has 3 older cats in her foster home) even if she knows she's going to receive a grumpy reaction back. She is curious, a little feisty, and playful. She wants to be with nonstop company. It's almost like she has magical powers. Even if she's nowhere in sight, she can be at any place by your side within seconds. She wants to be with you so much so, that when she sees us leaving the house, she runs to the car and tries to get in with us! She is full of love and craves affection and attention. Because of her life on the streets, she can be found searching for food often. Do not, we repeat, do not leave food unattended. She will help herself. From her abuse, she is also dealing with trust issues on occasion. She can be snappy if she is petted in the wrong spot, so please be patient with her. To everyone’s surprise, Ms Pearl was pregnan! She was so thin at the time, no one could tell. She had her kittens within 4 weeks of her rescue. She delivered the kittens like a champ and was a great momma to her babies. The funny picture of her sitting on the couch was taken two days before she delivered. All of her babies have been adopted and now it’s time for Emma Pearl to get her own forever home!Emma Pearl has lots of love to give and is a terrific cat.

Story
Meet Momma! Momma showed up in a good Samaritan’s yard one day with her litter of seven babies! We think she’s around 4 years old. She’s a super sweet kitty who loves to explore. She also loves to lounge around and find the best sun spots to lay in. She’s more relaxed than playful, and would be a great buddy to chill with. She doesn’t mind her foster dog brother, and is good with her kittens, but seems to appreciate her alone time away from them. Momma has done a great job raising her babies, and now wants a person of her own to spoil and give her the love she deserves.

Story
Meet Skylar and Scarlett! These two are a playful pair with a calm demeanor, both about 4 - 5 months old. They were born in a garage and raised by their mom until they were old enough to be on their own. Both of them are sweet in nature and love to be around the people they love. You will find them timid until they are familiar with people but once they feel safe they are very affectionate. They both love to climb and sleep as high as they can do they will need a cat tree or a place to play. While they have seen dogs they have never interacted and have a very natural fear of people and animals they have never met. Because they have always been together they will be best as a pair. If you're looking for a loveable girl duo, look no further!

Rigby is a very sweet cat. She loves humans, loves to cuddle and is pretty low maintenance. We adopted her when she was just a kitten and is about 6 years old now. Looking to rehome as we simply don’t have the time and attention this sweetie deserves.

Story
Rigby is a seven year old cat that I got from a shelter when she was a kitten. She is loving, gentle, and has a great personality. She loves to cuddle and sleeps in the funniest positions—usually with her mouth open and her tongue sticking out a little :) She is spayed and front declawed. Recently, Rigby has not been getting along with our other cat and it has lead to us having to separate them—meaning she doesn’t get full run of the house anymore. It breaks my heart to rehome her; but, I know that she could be living a better life if she were the only cat of the household. I just want Rigby to have a home where she is loved and well cared for.
