Story
I am fostering the sweet, healthy 11-year-old cat of a friend who recently passed away. TinTin is a super sweet, cuddly, attentive lap cat who was part of a group of rescue kittens and has lived as both an indoor-only and indoor-outdoor cat (at different times). He has befriended four other cats and a tiny pekachu dog in his adult life. Not sure how he would do with larger dogs because he has never been around them. Because of how bonded he gets to his human, he needs someone who is either home a lot and attentive, or in a family or group house with attention from more than one person. He is a great mouser. Caution for frail elders: He is strong and heavy (15 lb), and will sometimes scoot underfoot, hop into your lap, and leap onto your stomach or chest when you are in bed. This was cute to my friend, but maybe not safe for a physically frail person who easily loses their balance. Needing to rehome him soon.

Story
Meet Marcy, a 7yr old loving girl who has been with her current owner for 3 years. Marcy was recently diagnosed with diabetes and needs a home where this is properly cared for. She eats Sheba pate with fancy feast broths, and gets two injections of insulin a day. Marcy loves other cats, does well with a dog, and loves kids. Marcy is apprehensive around men, so would do best with an all female home or a home where the males are gentle and patient with her. Marcy loves to sit at the window and watch birds, play with toys, and lay around on the couch. She was adopted from the Greenville Humane Society as a kitten, returned for unknown reasons after 4 years, then adopted by her current owner who loves her dearly. Unfortunately they are unable to keep up with her diabetic needs and are seeking a loving home for a cat with so much love and life to give. Who can resist those big beautiful eyes 🥹 Adoption fee is to ensure she goes to a proper home. Initial diabetic supplies will be provided.

Story
ALF got his name because he came to us as a 1 week old kitten with huge eyes that made him look a bit like an alien. ALF is a quiet guy, but still loves to wrestle with his foster siblings. His favorite things are to laze around in the screened in porch or perch himself somewhere to watch out the window. He likes to be pet and held. He starts purring as soon as you look at him. He gets along with dogs and cats. He lives with cockatiel birds and just watches them. He's a chill and respectful guy. He has a cute crick in his tail which makes him unique. He had the crick when he came into the rescue. We think his umbilical cord was wrapped around his tail when he was born. It doesn't stop him from waving it around as he struts through the house. DOB: ~9/14/24 ALF is neutered, current on his distemper and rabies vaccines, microchipped and was combo tested negative. If interested in ALF, please fill out an adoption application: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/MFAR/42224-mfar-adoption-application
