Story
Mittens is very playful, loves receiving pets and cuddling with you. She’s very sweet. She loves to play around but she also loves to lay on her tower to sleep. We do have a cat tower for her , litter , litter box , two litter scoops , food , cat tray , nail clipper. We unfortunately can’t keep her. I have a baby at home and hairs just do get stuck everywhere and I am also currently pregnant.

Story
Regis (dob 5/20/25) was scooped up from a TNR site. He was hanging out on the porch of the feeder who was moving and they asked us to take him so he would have a loving home. They treated him for a kitty cold, but his right eye, as you can see in his photos, is a little cloudy. Regis is a brave kitten and appears to be the only survivor of his litter. He is affectionate and will purr when he sees you. We put him in with our other bobtail, Mary, who is keeping him company. He is having fun with his new toys and loves to play, snuggle, eat, and nap. Come meet him and make him a part of your family. Up to date on age appropriate vaccines, deworming, and flea prevention. Neutered and Felv/Fiv combo neg. First time pet owners, a personal reference is required. Must be over 21. Current pet owners, pets must be fixed and up to date with vaccines. Vet reference required. Donations appreciated from Chewy.com! https://www.chewy.com/g/feline-friends-of-moore-county_b71820310#wish-list Fostered in Vass, NC

Story
Mary Poppins (dob 4/1/25) was scooped up from a TNR site at a very young age. She was brought up with her cousins and is now hanging out with Regis (another bobtail). With a crouch down, wiggle her stub tail and pounce, she is off flying through the air on top of Regis for a rumble and tumble and the chase is on! She LOVES people (or pretty much anything that breaths and pays attention to her) and has an amazing personality plus. Mary is fearless, and all about the play, snuggles, and affection. Come meet her and make her a part of your family. Up to date on age appropriate vaccines, deworming, and flea prevention. Spayed. Mama Felv/Fiv combo negative. First time pet owners, a personal reference is required. Must be over 21. Current pet owners, pets must be fixed and up to date with vaccines. Vet reference required.

Story
Cute tabby boy for adoption .Courtesy Post  Meet Roscoe – The Grumpy-Faced Sweetheart with a Heart of Gold  Located in Sanford, NCRoscoe's rescue is closing down and he needs a new home soon, or a new rescue. Born about January of 2023, Roscoe is a charming young man with an unforgettable “grumpy old man” face and a big personality to match. He is a longy, but his tail isn’t quite normal length.  Though he may be slow to trust, beneath that skeptical stare is a cat full of quiet affection, curious habits, and the potential for a deep bond. Roscoe is a fiend for treats, a fan of sunbeams , and a lover of tunnels and quiet spots where he can nap in peace. He thrives in calm environments and would enjoy the company of respectful dog and kitty companions. Older children who understand boundaries and a peaceful pace are a must. Roscoe is looking for a patient, understanding family that will give him the time and space he needs to settle in and feel safe. After fending for himself in the outdoors and nearly dying from a terrible respiratory infection and anemia, he is still adapting to the safety and comforts of indoor life. He may never be a lap cat—and that’s okay. What he offers instead is something just as special: trust earned, affection on his terms, and the joy of seeing a shy cat slowly open up. If you’re someone who appreciates the quieter victories of pet companionship, Roscoe might just be the perfect match. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this adorable gentleman, start the adoption process by applying today! Must Foster to Adopt.

Story
If interested please fill out the form for the rescue. https://forms.gle/67EjWqNzAKYSppoJA A rescue volunteer will contact you shortly! Mario is what you might call a “lovable disaster.” This older kitten has a sensitive tummy (IBS), but you’d never guess it from his enthusiasm for food—especially the kind he absolutely shouldn’t have. Your DoorDash burrito? Fair game. Garbage scraps? A delicacy. Anything that isn’t his carefully selected, tummy-safe meals instantly becomes his life’s mission. But behind the chaos is an incredibly sweet, goofy little shadow. Mario is the definition of a velcro cat—he will follow you everywhere. And yes, that includes the bathroom. Privacy? He doesn’t believe in it. Showering? Expect a tiny supervisor creeping nearby. Cooking? He’ll be right there too, flopped dramatically close to your feet like he’s testing fate. He’s silly, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining—a hot mess in the best possible way. Mario just wants to be where you are, doing whatever you’re doing… preferably while trying to steal your food. ##2444450##

Story
Classic tabby boy .The great Catsby was born around June 2020.  He's a hot mess looking for a very special home Catsby likes dogs, and has been seen sharing a bed with one.  He's a little bit of a brat with other cats, so he might be best as an only.  He does love to play soccer with a jingle ball. Catsby has severe allergies and needs a home/family willing to go the extra mile with him.  A couple of his worst allergies are dust mites and storage mites, so he needs to eat only canned food (dry food and dry treats are often contaminated with storage mites).  He also requires meds twice a day, but he loves to eat so it's no problem to tuck pills in his canned food and he eats them right down.  A home with someone a little OCD about cleaning and with wood or vinyl floors would be best.  Email us with any questions or if you want clarification.  Catsby is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and has been treated with flea/tick preventive and wormed. He is perfect with the litter box and knows his name. He generally comes when called. He knows his room and goes there independently for naps and snacks.   He tested FeLV/FIV and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is sponsored.        More photos and video at  https://photos.app.goo.gl/QFqGCfjTMC1vWHM26 where you can see his progression from half naked and scabby to regrowing his fur.    March 12, 2026, 7:33 pm
