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

Story
It’s not an easy decision, but I’m looking for a loving new home for my sweet young cat. I adopted him from Petco a few months ago when he was about a year old. He’s incredibly affectionate, playful, and gentle — the kind of cat who loves companionship and brings calm, happy energy wherever he goes. He’s neutered, microchipped, and fully up to date on his vaccinations. He gets along beautifully with other cats and dogs — I’ve never even heard him hiss! Unfortunately, my much older resident cat hasn’t been adjusting well, and I want both of them to be happy and healthy. I’m hoping to find a kind, patient person or family who will give this sweet boy the loving home he deserves.

Story
Hello my name is Fuji! I am a super sweet boy who’s about 2 years old. I am very curious and energetic and would do best in a home with other pets or children. I will be by your side when you are home and love doing whatever you are doing! I also really love running water and playing with mouse toys. We adopted Fuji into our home about a month ago but have quickly realized he would be happier in a larger more high energy household. We are at work most of the day and have a pretty small space so his big zoomies take up the whole house. Please reach out if you’re interested in meeting this kind fluffy boy.
