Story
I am an 8 month old female, all black kitty. I am the sibling of Mouse. I need to be an inside only pet and I am litter box trained. I love to be extremely playful. I get along with other kitties, but not dogs. I have not been around kids. I have been completely vetted & Micro- chipped. If you would be interested in giving me a forever home, here is some information you would need to know: Our adoption fees would be $75 each if adopted separately, but if you would like to keep us together, the adoption fee would be reduced to 50% off to cover a portion of our expenses for the rescue. The rescue will also provide some essentials I would need in my new home.

Story
I am the mommy of four precious felines. I am not very old myself. I just turned a year and three months old. So I was a young mom trying to find my way and take care of my babies. I am very playful and sweet. I love to be petted and loved on. I enjoy going for rides and playing with cat toys. I would be a great choice as a solo pet with a family, because I love having all of my owners’ attention! However, for the last five months with my foster family, I have been introduced to, and living with, dogs and other cats outside my own litter. If you would be interested in giving me a forever home, here is some information you would need to know: My adoption fee would be $75, to cover a portion of my expenses for the rescue. The rescue will also provide some essentials I would need in my new home.

Story
Yin is a sweet, well behaved, quiet cat. She's roughly three years old. Curious like most cats. Loves greenies treats, lazers, and feather wands. She keeps to herself allot, but is often sleeping next to you, wherever you choose to sit or lay for any length of time. Loves sleeping in the crook of your legs. The only problem I've ever had out of her is she does enjoy chewing on rubber shoes. So keep your flip-flops and crocks out of site, or she may decimate with her little needle teeth. You've been warned. Outside of that, she's perfect. I'm choosing to rehome only in hopes of improving my 5 year old human child's health. She's having a tough time with allergies and nothing seems to be working so far; so some very difficult decisions have to be made. I would also like some follow-up photos of her settling in to ease my mind. Thank you for your consideration.

Lily is a very sweet girl but she does not like other cats. She hasn't been around a dog so we don't know how she does around them but she would definitely need to be the only Kitty in the house.

Story
Greta is such a sweet girl! She is a short-haired silver tabby. She was born around April 6th. Greta presented with rear leg paralysis, but after treatment and so much loving care, she is walking great now! She is extremely affectionate and active, but she is also happy to sit in your lap and purr the day away. Kittens under 6 months need to be adopted in pairs and must be adopted locally, as they are not completely vetted yet. All of our kittens and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, de-flead, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative results unless indicated) and have received their rabies vaccine prior to going into their forever homes. Our adoption fee of $150 ($250 for two) only recovers some of the expenses spent on each kitten/cat. If they were ill/injured when coming into our care they received full recommended medical care. Thank you for your interest in adopting with NC PAWS rescue. The link to our application is https://form.jotform.com/210965900805052 Once you are approved to adopt, we'll help you find the perfect cat or kittens for your family. If there is a cat or two that you are interested in meeting, we can set up a meet and greet with their foster moms at that time. Please be respectful: Do not send us multiple emails or call our rescue helpline to tell us you sent an application. We are all volunteers with full-time jobs. If you are approved to adopt, we will contact you. *We only adopt in the local area surrounding Hickory, NC. We do not transport or ship cats. No exceptions.

Story
I am the black male of two siblings. My sister's name is LuLu. We are seven months old. We enjoy playing with each other and with our toys. I love attention and getting loving but my sister, LuLu, has some differences. She requires a little more patience to come around in a new environment. I feel that we would be better if we were adopted together because of our bond and my sister needs some support from me to have a smoother adjustment to our forever home, but we can be separated if absolutely needed. If you would be interested in giving us our forever home, here is some information you would need to know: Our adoption fees would be $75 each if adopted separately, but if you would like to keep us together, the adoption fee would be reduced to 50% off to cover a portion of our expenses for the rescue.

I am Linnie, the male sibling, and my sister is Lannie. We are seven months old now. We are close to looking alike but have a few color differences. I have more of a silver color to me and my sister has more brown like our momma. We enjoy playing and chasing each other. We would love to be adopted together so we could be playmate but if we need to be separated we understand. I have a more curious personality than Linnie. She loves attention and loving while I like to explore and play. I enjoy catching her off guard and wrestling with her. While our fosters have been awesome, we would be so excited to find our forever home.
