Story
Franny (short for Frances) is the sweetest girl! She loves tummy scratches and will snuggle up right next to you. She makes the funniest grunting sounds when she runs. She's so curious and loves play time! Franny is highly food-motivated, so she'll respond to training. She's learned to "come" with clicker training. She's pretty good at keeping her claws off the furniture and always uses the litter box. Franny's very friendly with humans, including strangers. She doesn't live with children, but has been good with visiting kids. She hasn't had many close encounters with dogs. Franny's only negative is that she doesn't get along with our our older cat, despite introduction training over the last year. Franny's first several months of life were as a stray, so she may just not get along with other cats, but perhaps the right match could make it work. Franny got a vet check-up last month: she's all healthy and up-to-date on vaccines.

Story
Agnes is a shy little girl with great big eyes and a rambunctious side. She is recovering from trauma and needs some time to build trust with humans, but she was a natural affinity for other cats. Agnes is the sweetest addition to a family with cats and no children. Likes: playtime, laser pens (!!), snuggling with other cats, playing chase with cats, tall cat trees, following you around the house, lounging near you, low stress environments, exploring outdoors (and coming home). Dislikes: being pet (at first), snuggling with humans, small children. Agnes is not a lap cat, but she will be your existing cat’s new best friend and she will win your heart.

Story
This is Moody! He is just a pure ball of sunshine and personality. He was born on a farm and was the only orange kitty in his litter! He was born sometime in early July of 2023! He currently shares a home with a 4 year old kitty. He absolutely loves to play and takes his play time seriously, he likes to spend his free time trying to get his sister to play with him but she often times opts out. He also is a mastermind at always finding where the treats are hidden. He is such a curious and fun little silly guy and he would absolutely love being in an environment that is able to give him more attentive care and playtime :)

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. She’s very playful in nature but can be very shy in the beginning. She can be skittish around small children and large dogs, but gets along with older children and medium and small dogs. 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
Toccata and Fugue are laid-back lap cats that love attention. As most cats do, they spend much of the day sleeping, but they still have plenty of energy to zip up and down the hallways and stairs when in the mood! While they generally do their own thing, they can occasionally be spotted cuddling in the same chair. Both cats are good with new people, including respectful children, and would do best in a relatively calm household.Toccata is a velcro kitty from Day One, she can be picked up like a baby and endures being petted, though she prefers to just be by your side 24/7. This includes in your office chair, recliner, and bed! She rarely meows, but if she does, it's to remind you to feed her!Fugue is slower to warm up, but when she does, she will accept chin rubs, ear scratches, and belly rubs all day long. Her squeaky meow is endearing and while she spends more time on her own than Toccata, she still demands her fair share of attention.We are training Fugue to use a microchip feeder to prevent Toccata from eating her food. Their feeding routines can take patience since older cats tend to be more picky and disrupted by change, but they are worth the extra work!Notes: Fugue and Toccata are bonded and must be adopted together.Please visit https://felinerescue.org/all-cats/ to learn more about me and where I am located!

Sophie and Spice Carnegie are bonded and must be adopted together. Sophie and Spice are adorably shy cats who are in search of a forever home. These inseparable feline companions have formed an unbreakable bond and rely on each other for support. They long for the simple things that every cat dreams of: a warm and cozy lap to curl up on, playful toys, nourishing food, and a safe haven. Most importantly, they are needing loving humans to shower them with affection and with whom they may return the affection through headbutts, kisses and hugs. By opening your heart and welcoming these precious souls, you will gain the lifelong companionship of these loving siblings and also provide them with the happiness they deserve. Will you be their hero and give them the home and love they yearn for?Please visit https://felinerescue.org/all-cats/ to learn more about me and where I am located!

Story
Meet Neville, a charming feline eager to find his forever home. This playful kitty possesses remarkable athleticism and an insatiable curiosity. Playing is his true passion, and he fearlessly explores anywhere and at any heights, executing daring attacks, occasionally even hanging upside down to capture that elusive toy.After a rigorous round of play, Neville wants to cuddle on your lap and welcome copious amounts of petting. Until he notices a toy and then he is off again! Neville is a silly boy and he will occasionally emit a playful growl at invisible foes and sometimes before attacking his meal. While he is fearless around imaginary adversaries, he may be frightened by loud noises. This independent guy likes to get his way and may give warning nibbles to indicate his preferences or to grab your attention for a playful interaction. If you do not take his hint, then he may attempt a bite to fully grab your attention. Due to this tendency, Neville may not be the best fit for younger children. Neville's attention can be redirected during these times and would benefit from continued positive reinforcement training. A stable and predictable environment where Neville is the only pampered pet will enable him to thrive. Neville wants you to visit him!Please visit https://felinerescue.org/all-cats/ to learn more about me and where I am located!

Charlie is in need of a new home. Charlie is about 5 years old and he is in great health. He is extremely friendly and needs a home where he will get lots of attention. He loves other animals. At first he will be shy with you and your other furry friends but he usually wants to be best friends with other household animals. He does great with dogs and other cats (it might take a little while for the cats to acclimate to each other, as usual).

We had Ellis since she was born 3 years ago in march. Her mother had her at out home and her siblings have since left. We have other cats and kids and dogs in our family, and everyone gets along swimmingly. Ellis is a very diverse cat! She has had two births with two kids each time. She had her first babies on July 3rd last year, welcoming Jasper and Mint. Ellis had her second birth of babies on March 20th this year, welcoming two new additions to her family. Jasper and mint are 1 year old and really love playing together and with Ellis. I hope that we can rehome them together, or at least with Mint and Jasper together. Her new borns are still breast-feeding and we hope they go with Ellis priority. Ellis and her kids are all litter box trained and eat both wet and dry food.
