Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Pawla is not in the CARE foster cat system. She is listed as a courtesy and CARE is not responsible for any problems with the animal or with the adoption process.My name is Pawla and I am quite the gorgeous girl.   I  enjoy being around people but prefer a quiet environment.  I would be happy to get all the attention from you so I would be best as an only cat. I need to live indoors full time since I am FIV+.  But don't worry, I am not contagious and I am a healthy girl.  If you are interested in sharing your life with me submit an application at chathamanimalrescue.org.  Read below about  FIV. What is FIV?  Feline Immunodeficiency Virus(FIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system of cats.  There is no treatment or cure.  FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be transmitted to people or dogs.  FIV+ cats should be kept indoors to prevent exposure to illness, sterilized and fed a balanced diet.  They should be seen by a veterinarian at least once a year to ensure their ongoing good health. Transmission:  FIV is passed from cat to cat mainly through deep bite wounds, the kind that occur during fights and territorial disputes involving feral and unsterilized males.  Casual, social behavior such as sharing a water/food bowl and mutual grooming will NOT spread FIV.  There is no evidence that cats in the household with an FIV+ cat will acquire FIV from the FIV+ cat. Lifespan:  Multiple medical studies show that cats who are FIV+ live just as long as FIV negative cats.  FIV itself does not cause severe clinical signs, and FIV+ cats can live many years without any health problems.  For additional information contact your veterinarian.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 18, 2026, 12:12 pm

Story
Good afternoon, my cats name is Soxs! I got her in 2025 January. She was born October 6th 2024. She’s very food oriented and loves to play. She has gotten bit better with other cats but she still struggles at times. She a bit smaller than most cats but she has a lot of energy and can get a bit heated. She’s very loving and cuddly once she warms up to you! I leashed trained her at an early age and she loves to go for walks outside! It’s more of her walking you than you walking her but she loves to explore. She’s a bit talkative because she just loves to be in the scene. Loves watching TV and just hanging out. She has a slight runny eye but she lets you clean it daily, she does not mind!

These cats are in Durham, North Carolina too!

Story
Sugar is 6 years old and we adopted him and his brother Honey as a pair due to their connection. He is extremely social with adults and children. He is quite loving and together he and Honey are very entertaining as well as curious. He likes to be where the people are. We want to rehome the 2 cats together due to their bond to each other. We have to rehome them due to family members being allergic to them. We are looking for a family that will provide love and care as we do. The only special restriction is both cats are fed overweight management food to keep them from being overweight.

Story
Sugar is 6 years old. He is healthy and loving and wants to be with people to see what is going on. We do feed him cat food for overweight cats to keep his weight in check. He is an inside cat and has been declawed to protect furniture. We adopted him from a neighbor who fosters cats till she can find a home for them. Sugar was adopted by us with his brother Honey who make a nice team. They keep each other entertained. Please refer to our listing for Honey as we do not want to separate them. As of now their shots are up to date. We want to to find a good home where they can be safe, happy and loved. The only reason we have to rehome them is our grandchildren and some close friends are allergic to them.

Story
Meet Arthur Murray--the three-legged snuggle bug with a big heart! If you’re looking for a companion who is part world-class conversationalist and part professional cuddler, look no further. Arthur Murray is ready to dance his way right into your home (and onto your lap). Arthur came to us as a street survivor with an old injury that required him to become a tripod. But don't let the missing front leg fool you—Arthur hasn't gotten the memo that he’s "limited." He is just as speedy as any four-legged feline and navigates the house with impressive grace and zoomies. Arthur is a total head-turner with his stunning Lynx Point Siamese markings and piercing blue eyes. You will never feel lonely with Arthur around. He has an opinion on everything and loves to share it through a delightful series of trills and soft meows. Arthur is looking for a peaceful kingdom where he can feel secure. He's curious about other cats but can be skittish and would benefit from intros at his pace and cat friends that are calm. He understandably has some anxiety after everything he’s been through, so to help him stay relaxed and comfortable, Arthur has medication that he takes each day. He would love to have an owner that understands what he’s been through and can give him a calm, secure forever home. Arthur would be a wonderful companion to any child, especially those that just want a cat to snuggle with. He is scared of dogs, so he'd prefer a home without any canine companions. Ready to add some blue-eyed charm and a lot of trills to your life? Arthur Murray is waiting to meet his forever dance partner!
