Story
I am a very friendly and loving cat. I am equally great with grownups and kids. Extremely cuddly and affectionate. I am 4 years old and was rescued from a shelter along with my sister. I get along with other cats. I am living in a multi-cat home and getting a bit picked on by other cats, so looking for a less chaotic home where I can live in peace. I am a strictly indoor cat. I love taking naps on laps. I will be a great companion for an elderly person or a child. I like sleeping with my humans.

Story
Raymond Usher is looking for a new forever home by no fault of his own. His previous owners had a change in living situations and individuals in the household are allergic to cats. Raymond is a curious, quirky and loving young adult cat! He enjoys playing with flirt poles, sitting for yummy treats, climbing cat towers and bird watching out the window! He was raised with an older male cat that he has known since he was a kitten but has not met any other adult cats. He has been an amazing foster brother to many young kittens in his lifetime so far! Raymond was raised with a cat friendly, small dog that respected his space. He would need slow introductions with any cat friendly dog, as he may be wary of larger dogs. If Raymond sounds like a fit for you and your family, please reach out!

Story
Found in my backyard, he is a bit spicy/shy with a wound on his side. Took him in to get the wound checked out and give more care. After getting him vaccinated and neutered, he still seemed a bit anxious and my schedule got more busy so im looking to find him a home which he can get more love and care

Story
Lulu has been an awesome cat to have! My partner and I are saddened to part ways with her but we couldn't just take her to a shelter. We're hoping to rehome her for a period of time until we can find a new home. If not then we'd love for a great family or individual to take great care of her. She's the most chill cat I've ever had. Takes some time to get use to her but once you're in there she's great. She loves going on walks around our complex but not as much as eating. Good Lord, she loves to eat😂. We also have a dog and cat and after a brief period of time she got along with them. She's a self reserved cat that marches to the sound of her own drums

Story
Name: Taffy Age: 6 Months Gender: I'm a handsome boy Location: Durham Hi Human! My name is Taffy. Like the candy Laffy Taffy. I'm a handsome boy about 6-7 months and I came from Sanford, NC. I'm not necessarily a lap kitty but sometimes i'll randomly jump on you and give you motor purrrs. You can hold me if i'm in the mood but just not for long periods. I'd like to be in a home with another kitten or young cat so I have a playmate. I'm discovering life and enjoying being a kitten but want to enjoy it with my human family. If you could provide me a cat tree, lots of scratching posts and toys that would be great! I'd love to meet you if you think I would fit in your home. If you're interested to learn more about Taffy, reach out to Heather at catsonthehorizon@gmail.com. Taffy looks forward to meeting you.

Story
Name: Billy Age: 7 months-ish Gender: Male Location: Durham, NC Hi Human! My name is Billy. My foster mom named me this 'cause i'm silly Billy, I'm also called Little Billy and named after Billy Blanks and if you we're born before 2000's then you've probably heard of him. He's a martial arts boxing instructor. There's this cute thing I do sometimes when I'm playing I like to do little boxing jabs and it was too fitting with my other names so Billy it is! I was rescued along with my brother Bastian in a residential street outside. I had food and water but as a little kitten it was hard to survive all on my own. My eye got infected and I couldn't see in my right eye for awhile but when my foster mom took me in, she gave me eye meds and nursed me back to health. My right eye was saved! Yaaaay. I've been to the vet, neutered, vaccinated, tested and de-wormed. I'm all healthy now and am looking for my forever home. If possible, I'd like to be adopted with my brother Bastian. Were litter mates and like to play together. I'm your typical playful and energetic kitten who likes to play with the string toy, and laser pointer. My foster mom says I have lots of energy. I have a playful bite but I never mean hurt my human/s. I guess for a kitten..maybe I have a short tension span but that's only because everything is still new and exciting to me. I like zoom zooms, running and jumping on things. I can't wait to see what else is out there. There's an adoption fee and reference is required. If you'd like to meet me then reach out to my foster mom Heather at catsonthehorizon@gmail.com. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Story
I got Hendrix when she was about eight months old from my daughter. She was not getting along with my daughters dogs.She is very sweet, but she can also be very sassy. She seems to get along fine with male cats. She is not getting along with my other female cat currently. She used to; I dont know what happened. They growl and fight. She is not living her best life as shes always seems to be on guard. She has started to pee outside the litter box I believe because of the conflict. She has been checked medically, and there are no issues. The vet has cleared her. She likes to sleep with me and she likes being pet and cuddled, but on her own terms.
