Story
Location: Pelion, SC (current foster home) or West Columbia, SC Name: Raven Age: 12 to 13 years but doesn’t act her age (acts younger) Breed: DSH Solid Black M/F: F Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on rabies & fvrcp, spayed Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: all of the above! Aggression or medical issues?: none that we are aware of Reason for rehoming?: from a hoarding situation Additional info/story (personality): Very friendly, sweet, and loves attention. Came from a really bad situation and amazingly warmed up to her new wonderful life extremely fast. Now she just needs her forever home to spend it the rest of her years with. She is definitely a kitty I expect to live to be another 5-10 years at least as she just doesn’t look or act her age in the slightest. *gross cage pic is from her original situation and solely included for you to see her features better since my camera quality is better than the foster’s camera* Message/comment if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment. Adoption application & contract required

Story
Location: Lexington, SC Name: Dorothy Age: 8 years Breed: DSH - Calico (lots of white) - very large built lady (11 lbs) M/F: F Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on rabies & FVRCP; spayed; UTD on flea prevention Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: good with all humans but terrified of other animals. She is not mean and does not attack, she just shuts down and hides from them. I’m not saying she can’t go to a home with another animal, she simply would need to go to a home with other animals that let her have her space. Aggression or medical issues?: none Reason for rehoming?: found stray - no owner’s could be located Would you like rescue help?: no - already with one House/crate trained?: litter trained Additional info/story (personality): Can be held for hours on end with no cares in the world. Greets me everytime I come in her room and loves to cuddle. Literally so sweet and loves all her humans. Message/comment if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment. Adoption application & contract required to ensure good home.

Story
Location: Lexington, SC Name: Dottie Age: freshly 1 year (~DOB: 4/15/24) Breed: DSH - primarily white with grey spots on head & a grey tail - petite cat (6 lbs) M/F: F Spayed/Neutered/Shots: spayed; UTD on rabies & fvrcp; UTD on flea prevention Reason for rehoming?: was dumped at a dif rescue in a carrier; was having litterbox issues in cage there so she was surrendered here to be a TNR cat. She refused to go outside and kept having issues so we dewormed her a bunch and gave her probiotics and she has had 0 issues since Additional info/story (personality): Never really hid, just stayed in a corner until she warmed up (took a couple days). Greets me now at the door when I go in her room & actively seeks affection from me most days. Fine being held unless she’s hangry. Tolerates other animals, but doesn’t necessarily want to be BFFs with any of the other animals and keeps to herself. Can definitely have her sassy moments, but overall a good cat. Message/comment if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment.

Story
Location: Lexington, SC Name: Buster Age: ~3 years Breed: DSH - Solid Orange - 11.5 lbs M/F: M Spayed/Neutered/Shots: UTD on rabies & FVRCP; neutered; microchipped Good with dogs, cats, and/or kids: good with others dogs; would not recommend him around smaller children; can dog test upon request Aggression or medical issues?: no known medical - watch video for “aggression” Reason for rehoming?: TNR cat that about broke my trap after he was caught. Got him fixed and put him in holding to recover a couple days only to discover he was friendly and trying to rub all over me. Figured I would give him a chance to find a home before releasing him back House/crate trained?: litter trained Additional info/story (personality): He is an ORANGE CAT. He meets the orange cat definition beginning to end. Sometimes when I walk up to him he will hiss at me then shove his hand in my head for me to pet him. Then when I stop petting him he will grab my hand with his paws/claws and pull me back in. Then sometimes mid pet he will nibble on me to tell me he is extra happy. He also actually uses the cat wheel when I direct him on it. Has 0 idea what to do with toys. Now granted, he is freshly neutered so there is still time for him to settle… but as of right now he definitely has a big demanding personality. But, he is also a huge big friendly love bug. Oh also, very talkative. Message/comment if interested. Make sure if you message me to include the animal’s name since I have a lot of rescues I am trying to help rehome at the moment.
