Story
Summer is a bit like a sour patch kid, she's a little bit of a brat but then she'll flop over next to you and meow and any annoyance you had will melt away. She's very playful and will not take no for an answer when it comes to her snuggles. Summer is also quite shy, and its most likely going to take at least a week for her to warm up to you. See, Summer was born feral and trapped at 6 weeks old with her siblings, and she still has a bit of that fear of people left that we just cant seem to get rid of. Like most cats she is not a fan of cat carriers, car rides, or dogs. She does however love food, and any transgressions will be forgiven after a few treats. Summer is cat friendly and we highly suggest adopting her with another kitten/cat, she does not like to be alone and absolutely needs a buddy.

Story
Cheddar is a orange male around 3-5 years old from what we can tell. In May 2022, he was abandoned in a hotel room. The hotel staff tried many times to contact the people who left him to no avail. We immediately took him in. This sweet boy is extremely playful and lovey, his favorite activity is bird watching and will often spend hours looking out the window of his foster home watching all the birds. He requires a lot of play and mental stimulation, without it he does tend to nip. As they say, a bored kitty is a naughty kitty. Cheddar does not get along with other cats or dogs, despite multiple attempts to introduce him to other cats. He currently resides in his fosters home office, we would love to be able to give him a home with more room to run around and play as he does need a lot of activity. Cheddar is just a big sweetheart (and he is BIG) and all we could ever want for him is a stable forever home where he can watch birds and play. Due to his tendency to nip when bored, we do not recommend he go to a home with small children. He will require daily play time, his personal favorite toy so far is a fuzzy worm on a string, and lots of things to keep him occupied (tunnels, cat trees, toys, windows to look out of.) When he is ready to settle down, he loves to lay in your lap for hours and take a nice long nap.

Story
COTTON has an angel looking out for her! She was a stray that was hiding her babies in a flowerpot on a neighbors porch earlier this winter before the extreme cold! We got a call from the neighbor who dabbles in helping stray animals and we agreed to take the family! Cotton has turned out to be a lovely cat! She's probably around 1 year of age and has turned out to be quite the friendly girl! She's a medium size cat, weighing in at around 11 pounds currently. Her nose is pinkish red and her coloring is gray and white. She is very sweet and affectionate and loves a good neck scratch. She is litter box trained and is fully vetted, including spay and microchip, and ready to find a loving family! She is fine with dogs and seems to get along with other cats as well. If you think you might be a good fit for this sweet momma cat, please email us at blueridgerescue@aol.com for an application or with questions!

Story
Meet Mama! Mama is a very sweet and social cat who had a rough start at life. Mama has spent the first 3 years of her life outside and had multiple litters before we were able to get her fixed and some needed medical care. She has always been fine staying outside, but has been showing more and more interest in coming inside the house. We have been caring for this lovely lady for a few years but we believe that she is ready to be indoors with a family that can devote more time and energy to her. With a lot of love and care, Mama has blossomed into a sweet and friendly cat and is ready to find her forever home. She is not good with other cats, as we would take her in a heartbeat if she was. She is pretty easygoing and enjoys treats on any occasion!
