Story
Wobbles is a joyful, curious little kitten with a heart full of love and a walk that’s all her own. She has moderate cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), which means she’s a bit wobbly on her feet—but it doesn’t slow her down when it comes to living life, making friends, and soaking up affection. This sweet girl plays, explores, cuddles, and charms everyone she meets. She’s confident, determined, and endlessly endearing, often turning her little stumbles into moments that will make you smile. Wobbles doesn’t know she’s “different”—she just knows she’s a kitten who deserves love. Wobbles will thrive in a home that understands her needs: - A home without stairs, or one where stairs can be blocked off with baby gates - Soft surfaces and low-entry spaces to help her move around comfortably - A kind, patient adopter who will give her time to learn her new environment at her own pace Her condition is not painful, not contagious, and not progressive, and she does not require ongoing medical care for her CH—just love, understanding, and a safe setup. If you believe that perfect doesn’t have to mean flawless, and that a little wobble can come with a whole lot of heart, Wobbles might be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Sugarplum! 🤍🖤🩶 Sugarplum is a gorgeous 5-month-old kitten with soft white fur and adorable little black markings. She’s a sweet and gentle girl who can be a little shy when meeting new people or in new surroundings, but once she feels safe, her playful and curious side comes out. Sugarplum is fully litter box trained, enjoys exploring her environment, and loves quiet cuddle time. She would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can build confidence and blossom into the affectionate companion she’s meant to be.

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.

Mavis is athletic and friendly. Never bites or scratches, but loves to play. He loves balled up paper the most (I don't know why!) He is very sweet and SO good with dogs. He might seem prickly, but once he gets to know you, he cozies right up to you.

Story
I found Garfield as a stray when he was about 6 months old, he is 5 now. I am looking to rehome him in a cat free household as he doesn’t get along well with other cats. And has not adjusted well to my current living situation. Garfield is a goofy and loving cat. He loves to nap, especially in the sunlight. He also loves being near a window and watching for/chattering at the birds and squirrels outside. He has an affinity for knocking over cups (especially ones with lids and straws). He also has a MAJOR sweet tooth, he has stolen whole cookies from me before (don’t worry, I didn’t let him eat them).
