Story
Vena is a queen cat ready to rule over your house! She has a big personality and wants to be the only cat in the house so she can have all the space and attention to herself.  It may take her some time to get comfortable and settled in a new home, but she’ll own the place quickly enough. She is incredibly curious about her environment and will explore every nook and cranny possible to get a lay of her land; especially from somewhere up high! Vena loves to play with her favorite toys string-based wand toys do the trick! She's not a cuddle bug by any means but enjoys pets and will happily hang out right beside you - all on her terms of course! Wait until you hear her motor of a purr that just keeps on going! It doesn't take much to keep Vena happy; enjoy her company, keep up with those chin scratches, and provide her with a window with a great view and she’ll make a great companion.      If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
Hi, my name is Kylie! If you are looking for a super chill cat, look no further. In my 9 years I have learned comfort is key, if you give me a blanket, pillow, or a couch I will sleep in the same spot for up to 5 hours at a time. My favorite thing in the world is to be brushed, I can sit for 30 minutes while you brush my soft fur and make me beautiful. I don't make a lot of noise, and I don't know how to jump higher than the couch, I have not once stepped foot on a table or countertop.   Now that you know the highlights, I do have some medical information to share. I am FIV + but I can be in a home with other cats. Right now I live with 7 (!!) other kitties, my foster mom loves to foster! I am fine to be near them and even sniff a little bit, but sometimes kittens are just too much energy for me. Also, I am a diabetic kitty. My foster mom gives me insulin injections twice a day, but it is the easiest thing to do! I never run away or get upset, usually I even purr while I receive my injection!   I have been with my foster family for 18 months, it's so much better than being cooped up, enjoying a nice big home with blankets galore! I do think I would prefer to be an only kitty, or maybe live with another older cat or two, I am pretty easy going.    Don't let my medical needs scare you off, I am a lover and will love you unconditionally forever!

Hello there, I'm Angelina! I'm a real character, full of curiosity and playfulness. I'm always exploring my surroundings, looking for new adventures. Smart as a whip, I can figure out puzzles and toys in no time. I've been known to make the rescue volunteers laugh with my goofy antics. I'm quite independent, preferring to play on my own terms. I may not enjoy being petted, but I'm brave and confident. Don't let my independence fool you, I have a lot of love to give. I'm looking for a home where I can be my playful, smart, and independent self. Will you be my forever family?

Story
Hi everyone! My name is Calvin and I want to say I LOVE YOU!!! The people here say I look like I'm on the Hot Mess Express. I don't know what that means, but I think it means they love me more as they have been giving me lots of love and attention. I have gotten better though! I battled this thing called calicivirus. I was really sick and everyone here was afraid I wouldn't make it. But I did because there is more attention to be had in the world! I'm still a little disheveled from my illness, so please forgive my ragged appearance. I promise my tux can look pristine when I'm feeling 100% better. The really good news is that I'm well enough now to be sprung from here and hopefully get off the Hot Mess Express in a home! I love people and I'm gentle. I just want a warm place that will allow me to become the best version of myself!

Lovie is exactly like her name; an absolute love bug! She has silky smooth fur and lovely, bright eyes that are to die for! This kitty definitely has it all good looks and the sweetest personality. She is gently and affectionate. Good at using her litter box. This amazing mom of 4 is ready to find a loving home of her own. Her foster mom describes her this way, "She's well named because she purrs so easily and is constantly looking for affection, head butting and giving us her elevator butt for scratches." If you need a best buddy who is always there to snuggle and cheer you up Lovie is for you! She has been spayed, microchipped, is up-to-date on vaccinations, and she was treated with dewormer along with flea/tick medications.

wildaboutcatscc@gmail.com Panther is a beautiful and well-behaved boy. His back was broken as a kitten, so he has a little swagger when he walks. That just adds to his charm. He gets around just fine and is loving and affectionate. Because of his injury, a home with no small children or large dogs is needed. He has been neutered and is up to date on his vaccinations.

wildaboutcatscc@gmail.com Misty and Stormy are sisters that came into the rescue as kittens and had no human interaction. They are very cautious and skittish. They will require a home that will allow them to become comfortable in their own time. Once they feel safe, they will be able to show their true personalities; which are oh so wonderful. Misty loves to birdwatch and chatter at the birds. She also loves a good cuddle and belly rub. Stormy is a bit more shy, but so very loving when she feels at ease. If you are willing to be patient with these girls, they will reward you with love and affection. Watching them transform is a beautiful sight to see! They have been spayed and are up to date on their vaccinations. All of our cats are fostered in Tennessee but we transport to most states. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road.
