Story
Stilts is a 3 year old long legged Munchkin cat. Her mother was a short legged munchkin and she was the only be in the litter with regular front legs (so we named her Stilts). She has been indoor/outdoor all her life. She lives with two other cats that also need a home if you happen to have room. They all make a great team. We could figure out a consolidated adoption fee. We must relocate due to work. We had an adopting family lined up and that fell through. Our closing on the sale of our move and headed for a third floor apartment. Since these cats have been raised indoor/outdoor with plenty of place, we do not think we can keep them safe and happy in the new apartment. Potential adopters should have a pet door and a safe outside place to play or a creative way to provide some fresh air. All the cats wander a bit but never beyond the perimeter of our yard (half acre lot). They sun on the porch and back deck. They have all been around dogs and kids as well.

Story
Vegeta will turn 5 years old in August. He is a bigger boy at around 12 pounds (he gets leaner in the summer 😊). He has been indoor/outdoor all his life. Never wandering further than the edge of the yard (half acre lot). Full transparency, he uses the indoor litter box if it’s raining. Or if the pet door gets shut. We are relocating due to work. The family we had lined up to take all of our cats as to keep them together fell through. He has been raised with two other cats (Bulma and Stilts) that are also listed but we think he would be okay on his own if it came down to that. He is friendly on his terms like most cats. He's not a lap cat, he a protector type soul that will sit near you and keep a look out. The closing on the sale of our home is coming up quick and we are headed for a three floor apartment. We know he will not be happy there after all this freedom. There is real concern that we couldn’t keep him safe if he snuck out with all the traffic.

Story
Ren is about 3 years old and is such a sweetie! He loves getting pets and belly rubs are his favorite. I adopted him from the Spartanburg Humane Society when he was a kitten and we’ve been really close since. Even though it breaks my heart, I have to rehome him because he has issues marking around my home. He was prescribed anxiety medicine by his vet and when he takes it he doesn’t have issues urinating outside his box. I’ve just struggled to keep up with this specific care need of his. Ren’s new home will need to provide a relaxed environment where he is given his medicine every day, taken to the vet, and preferably doesn’t have dogs. Ren tolerates dogs, but gets extremely stressed out if they chase him. He has lived with other cats for pretty much his entire life and will get along well with them when properly introduced. He's shy around people, but incredibly friendly once you start petting him. Other than his urination outside the box I haven't had any behavioral issues

Story
Bianca is a beautiful cat who showed up at our house one day! She was pregnant and looking for food and a safe place to have her kittens, so we started feeding her regularly. Sometime in April of 2024, she gave birth to 3 bobtail kittens even though she herself has a long tail. After she gave birth, we moved her and her kittens into our garage after chasing a fox and coyote away from her and her kittens. Bianca is not an affectionate cat, but she doesn’t mind humans and will play with you when using a string toy. We are not sure how old she is, but we assume somewhere between 2-3 years old. She is not spayed or vaccinated. She is very close with her son Wolfy, so we are hoping to get them adopted together. We want her to get a safe and happy home!

Story
Fiona is about 3 years old. She is extremely lovable and gets along with our other dogs and female cats. She loves head scratches and treats! Yes, she is a bit spoiled! Her beautiful green eyes are mesmerizing. She is in need of a home due to my recent allergy issues. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and are having issues with that as well. Thus, I am searching for her forever home.

Story
I brought Shadow home about 3 years ago when she joined a feral cat colony I helped feed. She was friendly and liked being petted so I brought her home to live with the 2 older cats I already had and a friend’s elderly dog. In a few weeks she had made herself at home and made friends with the other cats, who mostly ignored her, and the elderly dog who was staying with me on a temporary basis. She does not like my small grand dog who wants to chase every cat he sees. Shadow is primarily an indoor cat but does like to go outside during the day. She does not sleep with me but occasionally is on the bed when i wake up. She has not been around small children, as I my grandchildren are older. She usually hides for a while when others come to my house but if they stay long enough, she will come out and eventually let them pet her. Shadow is not as playful as she used to be probably because I don’t play with her as much as I once did. I must rehome as I am moving. Great cat!
