Story
MADDIE - She is lovable, playful and super loyal. She loves to play fetch. I throw a small lightweight ball and she runs to catch it and brings it back to me so I can do the throwing again. She is microchiped and neutered. She is just over 4 yrs old..born 1-10-20. She has lived with another cat for all 4 yrs with me. She has her nails and I found a person to come to my home every 6 weeks to trim them. I can give you her name. I have medical issues that will be requiring major surgery and after surgery will more then likely for months after surgery not be able to take care of my girls. I have had cats all my life and to have to give them up before it is an end of life issue for them and it is breaking my heart. Looking for a loving home for Maddie as she will bring joy to where ever she goes to live.

Pepper is lovable and a quiet cat. She loves to be close to you. She will want to be near you amd she loves to gently touch your cheek with her paw and stroke your face. I have never found that in all my years of having cats. She has her nails and I have a local groomer that comes to the house every 6 weeks. She is great and inexpensive. I can give you her name. She has lived with other cats all her life. She is a bit of a loner, but never aggressive, just does her thing.. I in need of surgery and after that surgery will not be able to care for her for months. She is a senior cat. I got her from a friend as a company for me. She said she was 6 at xxxx@xxxx.x was in 2022..she is basically around 8 yrs old..good health.

Story
Murphy is my mother's cat. My mother is in an assisted living facility which allows pets. However, my mother is no longer capable of adequately caring for Murphy. I live in another state and cannot take Murphy because my wife is allergic to cats. Murphy is a sweet, mellow, indoor lap cat. I think Murphy is about 10 years old.

Story
Little gal started showing up during feeding time at the farm I used to work at. Her mom and a couple others from the litter were in an abandoned building down the road. Very friendly for a feral so I got her spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Been keeping her in my garage/basement when when it is cold, and otherwise she has been mostly a barn cat. Excellent mouse/vole hunter, but also indiscriminately murders any other wildlife for fun. She likes being outdoors but also very happy to be indoors sitting on a lap. She loves eating all sorts of things she should not eat out of the compost pile, and using garden beds as a litter box (but she will use litter box when indoors!). I recently took on a new job so feel I cannot give her the attention she deserves and that she would be better appreciated at another home. Born around 3/2022, weighs around 7lb. She likes hanging out with goats, dogs, cats, and humans that give her food and affection. Responds to her name (pronounced way-SUH)

Story
I'm looking to rehome one of my girls unfortunately because she isn't a fit for my home even after trying for months! She has been spayed and is up to date on all vaccines. She was originally adopted from Asheville humane society in fall of 2023 as a few month old kitten, Mavis has blossomed into a shy but spicy and affectionate girl. She enjoys sitting up high in a cat tree, making biscuits in a soft blanket and cuddling frequently but on her own terms. She is eating open farm kitten food because she suffered stomach issues initially from other brands including hills science diet but the vet did say that she would likely outgrow her sensitive stomach. She has had another cat companion for as long as l've had her but she does not enjoy rough play! I'm unsure if she needs to a single cat or if she might need a calmer less territorial counterpart. Mavis tends to be easily stressed out and skiddish. She would do well in a calm home. She has never been outside, around children or dogs.
