Story
This is Cuttie and he is looking for fun home. He has all the traditional traits of orange cats. Loves water, playing and at times your question his IQ. Snuggles depend on his mood because he loves to play! He is about 8 months old. He was born on our acreage and lost his mother when he was about 6 weeks old. We brought the litter in our home to care for them. He is healthy, socialized and house trained. We is a great companion. We just don't have enough room for all of the kitties. Please message for questions.

Story
Peanut was born on our acreage to a feral mother. When he was about 6 or 7 weeks old we realized she had disappeared and the litter was too young to survive. We have cared for litter over the winter. He is healthy and socialized. We just have too many cats and he needs a good home. Peanut was the smallest but now he is the biggest of the four. A little shy in the beginning of snuggles. Then, he prefers the snuggle king title and avoids the choas of his siblings. He really makes a great companion and I would love for him to have an inside home.

Wild is approximately 8 to 10 years old. He’s very skittish however when his owner was around, they reported him sitting on her lap and watching movies together. Right now, Wild is living alone and is very lonely. I expect him to be very skittish.

Story
Broth is a 6 year old snuggle bug. We adopted him from the Humane Society 5 years ago. He spends most of the day laying outside in the flower garden, and will only come in when it’s time for wet cat food or bed time. He doesn’t require much attention, just at night! Unfortunately when we bought our house, (unknowingly) the previous owners had cats and they left their scent (and urine) everywhere. That has completely thrown Broth off and he has been urinating over top of the previous pee spots. We have spent thousands of dollars replacing old flooring and buying cleaning products but nothing will help. With a new baby almost here, our mental capacity unfortunately cannot handle this stress anymore. This decision is not easy, as he is the most loving pet I’ve ever owned, and our first pet my husband and I have owned. He is free and comes with an Apple air tag, all litter items, and food / water fountain. We will update his vaccines if wanted! We just want him in a loving, cat free home!

Blaze, Bella and Justice are Bonded Buddies. They'll be adopted as a trio.- Friendly kitty who can be shy at first; once he knows you, he enjoys lying in your lap, being petted and getting lots of attention- When feeling playful likes toy balls- Loves wet cat food- No catnip for him, please; his previous family said he does not do well with it - Has lived with kids of all ages; not a fan of having his paws touched, though, so he may do best with kids that are old enough to understand that - Has lived and done well with dogs and other cats - Front declawed- This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter.

Story
This is a very difficult and heartbreaking decision, but due to my worsening allergies and asthma, I need to find a new home for my cat, Bojack. I adopted Bojack through the Boone Area Humane Society at a Petco in 2021, and he has been an indoor cat ever since. He's a big boy at about 16 pounds and is FIV-positive, but he can still live a long, happy life with proper care. I think he's around 10 years old. Bojack is incredibly affectionate and goofy. He purrs a lot, loves rubbing up against people, and makes an excellent nap buddy. While he's tolerant of being picked up, he's happiest just hanging out near his people and soaking up attention. He gets along with other cats when they're introduced slowly and properly, and I think he would do especially well in a larger family where he'd get lots of love and interaction. One of his favorite activities is sitting on the balcony and watching birds. He also loves to explore outside.
