Story
Meow Meow is a super sweet cat just looking for a loving home! We think she might be around 10 years old, she was abandoned by one of our neighbors and we are unfortunately unable to take care her in. She's an indoor cat and is extremely low maintenance! I'd love to see her go to a home where she could get the attention she deserves (a nice sunny window to nap in would be a plus!). Please contact me if you're interested in giving a sweet kitty who just wants some human attention a loving home! I am asking for a $30 adoption feed just to make sure she goes to a good home who will treat her right, but that fee is going to be donated to the SPCA of Wake County! I'm also completely open to waiving the fee if I meet you and know you're a good person! Times are tough, and I overall I just want Meow Meow to go to a safe home!

Story
Sebastian and his bonded brother (adoptable together only) are big snuggle bugs. They are excellent with children, even when 3 year olds chase them around the house sometimes. They would never hurt a fly, occasionally having their tail pulled or a very tight hug from a little one. They are super kind and loving to all new people. Sebastian is the extroverted one, he enjoys all new social connections. Sterling will sometimes stay away for a while but once he's convinced the person isn't leaving he will be fast friends with them. He's just a little more reserved with strangers. They both love to climb cat trees and watch the street. Our "guard cats" if you will. They would make great family pets! And first family cats if that's relevant. They're so docile and sweet. We rescued Sebastian and his bonded brother Sterling but unfortunately with a baby on the way cannot keep them. They must be adopted together.

Story
Due to unforeseen circumstances we find ourselves having to Rehome our sweet kitty, she has been with us since she was a kitten. Luna may take some time warming up to a new environment and people but once she does she loves to sit on your lap and just sleep. Especially if there are blankets involved, she loves to chase lasers and go after anything crinkly. She likes to find a “spot” and just stays there most of the time if cuddles aren’t an option. She’s fine with our 80 dog, and we used to have another cat that passed away a few years ago who she tolerated.. she’s not a huge fan of other cats but after an adjustment period has been fine with anything. We have an infant who had pulled her tail a few times and she will meow but hasn’t done anything past that so I believe she may do better in a home with no small children. She is 7 years old and is mostly black, she has a white spot on her chest and belly, she is on the smaller side maybe 7-10 lbs.

Tiger was abandoned and needs a home. He is so sweet and loves people and pets. He doesn't need a lot of attention just a safe place to call home. If I didn't already have a full home I would keep him but I can't. He loves to be pet and loves to eat. Please give him a chance.

These pups are in Apex, North Carolina too!

Story
We adopted Luna from the SPCA when she was a kitten. She is now 3 years old and is a beautiful and sweet, though somewhat timid cat. It breaks our heart to give her away, but our children have allergies that have progressively gotten worse over time. She is very friendly with cats, dogs, and humans. She plays a lot with her "sister" (our other adopted orange tabby cat we got at the same time), but they are not bonded. She adores our kids (ages 6, 11, and 13). She loves to hang out with them and just chill nearby. We also have a dog and she loves her so much (see pics). She is super relaxed and very independent. She does not meow much and is very well mannered. Luna would be a great addition to any family, with or without kids, with or without other pets, but she would do best in a calm house. Also available is our other cat, Jojo, who is also listed on this website. We would love for them both to go to one family if possible!
