Story
Meet Tipsy: A Sweet Senior Seeking Her Golden Home Tipsy joined us in February after her person passed away. This charming girl has quickly shown us her unique personality! At an estimated 12-16 years old (a delightful surprise, as we initially were told she was 6!), Tipsy is a resilient and affectionate senior who's likely mostly or completely deaf. Don't worry though, she has a very distinctive and loud meow that lets you know exactly what she wants! This girl has a huge purr motor and absolutely demands chin pets—she'll let you know when it's time for some love. While she's not a fan of being picked up, she thrives on gentle affection and finds comfort in tucking away in a cozy hidey hole. Tipsy is a trooper, gracefully adapting to change with patience. She's currently on medication to help manage her heart murmur and elevated thyroid, liver, and heart functions, and she's doing great. And watch out: if she gets a little spooked, she can be very fast! She tolerates other pets but isn't looking to form close friendships—she's more interested in her human companions. Tipsy also has a few quirks, like her strong preference for potty breaks on non-carpeted surfaces (she's had no accidents on wood floors!). And if you ever need to move her in a carrier, be prepared for some dramatic "yelling"—it's just her way of protesting! Tipsy is a special, loving senior who deserves a patient and understanding forever home where she can enjoy her golden years feeling safe, cherished, and adored for all her wonderful quirks. Could your home be the purr-fect fit for Tipsy?

Story
Mable is a five-year-old cat who prefers to watch the world from the quiet edges of a room. She’s shy with new people and usually keeps her distance, but those who earn her trust get to see her softer side—gentle head bumps, a slow blink, or a soft purr. Mable notices everything: a new plant in the corner, a changed routine, even the sound of her human’s footsteps before they reach the door. She’s happiest perched on a windowsill or tucked into a cozy corner, quietly studying her surroundings, and while she may not demand attention, she gives it back in the sweetest, most thoughtful ways when she feels safe.

Story
Belmont is a sweet, cuddly, 2-3 year old cat. He is comfortable and confident wherever he goes. He loves to sunbathe and is very social and curious. The only reason he is being rehomed is because his owner is joining the Navy and could not make arrangements to hold him temporarily. We are sad to part with him, but would love for him to find the happy forever home that he deserves.

Story
Hugo is a five-year-old cat who has a lot to say about everything. He chirps at the birds outside, meows when his food bowl isn’t full enough, and can hold a conversation. Despite all his opinions, Hugo is a devoted lap cat. The only thing that rattles him is thunder; the moment a storm rolls in, he darts for the nearest lap, pressing close until the rumbling stops. Mabel is Hugo’s sister from the same litter. She prefers to watch the world from the quiet edges of a room. She’s happiest perched on a windowsill or tucked into a cozy corner, and while she may not demand attention, she gives it back in the sweetest, most thoughtful ways when she feels safe. Both kitties love being around people - they follow us room to room and love showing affection and appreciation to their family members. We never feel worried while traveling since we know the cats will keep each other active and content. Mabel's profile: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/45907070-charlotte-north-carolina-cat
