Story
Meet Frosty boy!! He just turned 1 y/o this year on August 8th! Frosty Ja'Quayvius Demonté Thompson is the sweetest tuxedo cat ever. He is extremely friendly, playful and loves to cuddle. Frost Boy doesn't just wear the tuxedo well, he is very much a distinguished gentleman. Whenever I break out the treats or some good Sheba, he will rub my leg as I take it out as a "Thank you for understanding what I want" haha! Then as i put it in the bowl, he gives me another "thank you" with head butts to my hand. I find it adorable. Frosty never meets a stranger I tell ya that. Recently I was laid off of my job and I am struggling as a single mom to keep the bills paid so this is why I have to give him up. I really do not want to but he deserves more. I can't afford vet bills and food so I ask someone really special to give him a home. He's not a bother, he just loves and wants tons of cuddles and scratches. Thank you very much!

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
Sweet girl. Loves to get attention & enjoys a lap snuggle. Likes to cuddle with you in the bed. Will play with the laser pointer. Doesn’t like thunder storms & will need a safe place to hide. Not much of a “hold me” girl but doesn’t mind a quick hug & kiss.

Story
George and Harold were stray sibling kittens adopted by an aging human (my mom) 1 year ago. They are bonded and affectionate cats who are have lived in a home without any other pets or children (although children do come by to visit!). George is outgoing and curious. Harold is a little more aloof but definitely warms up to his human. They are house trained, neutered, with all shots up to date. We are looking to re-home due to the needs of my mom and this decision is sad but it is also necessary. George and Harold need to find a home for both of them - they are siblings, almost identical (as you can tell), and quite bonded. They are delightful pets and we would love for you to consider them for adoption! We would be willing for you to explore the possibility of adopting George in Harold in a way that honors both you and them.

Arnold is a super friendly cat who loves people. He enjoys snoozing most of the day but when he’s up, he is playful and moderately active. He's a very confident kitty and loves to sit on a warm lap getting some pets. Although Arnold is primarily an indoor cat, he loves to be outside and an ideal home would have a yard or little backyard area or balcony where he could spend some time occasionally.
