Story
We found this kitten in the middle of a road when she was about 6-7 weeks old. She is now almost 6 months old. We already have 4 cats and she gets along great with 3 of them. One of our female cats is very aggressive towards her and starting to develop isolation issues. This kitten is very playful and adaptable to kids and other cats. She has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Story
Annie is a beautiful short haired domestic cat. She was born on 6-27-20. She loves to be petted and enjoys other dogs.She enjoys playing with her toys and also spending time on her own sitting in the sunlight. Unfortunately we cannot care for her as she deserves. My husband has been very sick for the last 5 years. I have been caring for him, our home and now my brother who has major health issues. I am also a new Grammy and I have been trying to help my daughter with her new baby girl. I would love for Annie to be with someone who can spend time loving on her. She loves to be brushed and loves affection. She is a sweetie. Thanks for considering taking her and blessing her with a wonderful new home.

Story
Othello bio I am the shyest of my family but with a bit of patience and the right person I am deeply trusting like my namesake. My foster says I am the most active of the bunch. I am very tall with a shining black coat and a little crescent of white on my chest. I have warmed up to my foster and after eating or playing (with most any cat toys my foster gives me) will come to them for scratches and pats, rewarding them with the loudest purrs. l have excellent litterbox manners. I have been neutered, had my rabies vaccine, been treated for fleas, had my FVRCP vaccines. I have tested negative for FIV/FELV and been dewormed (round, hook and tape). DOB 5/18/2026 and am originally from the Burlington,NC area.

Story
MEOOOOOOW! I’m a kitty who has a lot to say! My specialty is a long, dramatic, drawn-out meow that I use to tell you all about my day, remind you when it’s mealtime, and make sure you never feel lonely. When I’m not chatting, I’m busy chasing my siblings, carrying toys around like prized treasures, and zooming through the house burning off kitten energy. Once playtime is over, I transform into a world-class snuggler and will be one of the first kitties curled up in your lap or stretched across your chest. I’d love a home with a feline friend to wrestle, play, and cuddle with. I’d probably do just fine with respectful kids, too. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate little chatterbox, I’m your guy! Est. DOB: May 18, 2026 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Story
I’m the sweetest, most outgoing boy who will always let you know what he wants. I’m a little chatterbox! Whether it’s for food, treats, or (most importantly) your attention, I’ll meow away! I love playing with my siblings and any toys I can chase. While I love attention and meeting everyone personally, I’m always looking for what’s next so will squirm if you pick me up! I haven’t met any dogs yet, but my foster thinks I’d be good with kids. And I’d love a friend at home (like one of my siblings!)! So if you’re looking for a bubbly, social, active and sweet boy, then I’d love to come home to your family! Est. DOB: May 18, 2026 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

Story
7-month-old male cat looking for a loving home. He is extremely curious, affectionate, playful, and super chill. He loves to sleep, cuddle, and spend time with people. He is wonderful with kids, gets along well with other cats, and is friendly with new people. He especially loves treats and wet food.He is a small cat with a big personality and can be mischievous. He sometimes gets into things and needs more training, including staying off counters and leaving the pantry and food alone. He has also damaged the sealing on the front door while trying to get outside, so he would do best in a home that can provide patience, supervision, and continued training. He is a very loving cat who enjoys cuddling with my kids, me, and my boyfriend, & anyone else he sees and I’m hoping to find him a home that will be a good fit for his personality and needs. We have 3 small children and both work, so it’s a lot for us.

Sweet 5-year-old spayed female looking for a safe barn/farm or working-cat home. She is healthy, vaccinated, and has happily lived outdoors for about 4 years. She is an excellent mouser and loves exploring and patrolling her territory. Due to an upcoming move and HOA restrictions, we can no longer provide the outdoor lifestyle she loves. We are looking for a responsible, permanent home that will provide daily food, fresh water, shelter, veterinary care, and proper acclimation. Located in Apex, NC.

NOTE: It is our older cat does not get along with Meako. Meako is very social and would get along great with another more playful cat!!**Meako is a cat with so much love to give. He absolutely loves attention, play, pets, cuddles and attention (again!!). He is very high energy and would do well in a home with another animal that can match his energy and react well to his playful antics. He loves to chase toys and laser pointers, have room for zoomies, and to have toys he can pick up in his mouth and carry around.Meako would thrive in an environment where he is safe to be wide open. He will play with and bite/pick up in his mouth most anything, whether it’s a toy or not, and has almost boundless energy. When he finally tuckers out, he LOVES to cuddle! He is fixed, uses litter box and up to date on vaccines and has no special medical needs.Meako is a wonderful, sweet cat. He loves to play, he absolutely loves to love and be loved on. We are so so hopeful that he will find a perfect home.
