Story
Hi, my name is Baloo! I was found following my owners eldest cat as a kitten. I have been loved and cared for this entire time but unfortunately care for me is very minimal and my family lives in apartments, so housing me and their other four cats is overwhelming for my owners. I love to play outside, with other cats and even dogs but some of the neighbors dogs have been too aggressive. I love to play; I enjoy a good belly rub & cuddles. I hope to find a forever home that will care for me as strongly as ive been cared for here & I hope to find another cat friend I can play with. Im an absolute sweetheart & would bring your home all the joy in the world. I also have the cutest squeaky meow you will ever hear 💜 Thank you for considering me to be apart of your family 😸😻

Story
Cocoa was born from a stray that was rescued off the street while they were pregnant. She is 6 months old and very very sweet. She adores to be cared around and sleeping with you. She loves to cuddle on the couch. She great at catching flies from windowsills. She loves to play with kids, other cats, and dogs. She comes from a very active/busy home. I think she would do well truly in any home, she is an inside cat and has never been outside. She knows how to use a litter box but does have difficulty always using the box, sometimes she will go potty on carpeted areas.

Story
Blaze was found as a stray and I took him in immediately due to his condition. Thankfully, with already owning cats & a trip to the groomers, I was able to nurse him back to health with ease. Now he is this bright, energetic, & chatty little baby boy. He loves cuddles and will even demand them! He does very well with other cats (I have 2 adult males). He is very needy at times and I recommend him to anyone with already owning cats and/or plenty of time for lovin’! ❤️

Story
She is a sweet playful girl. If you bring your nose to her face, she will touch her nose to yours. She is ok with being carried. She will be shy with strangers. She likes cooked shrimp, ham and beef. She is picky with turkey and doesn't like chicken. She meows, "Hello" as a morning greeting or if you are behind the door of a room that she wants inside of. She answers to "Nola" or "Nola Grace" as well. She likes to shadow you and walk in between your legs. She sleeps on the bed with me but will also sleep in a carrier if it is necessary. A very loving girl that can be quite vocal.

Story
She is precious honestly… so sweet and loves everyone! She is great with kids, dogs and other cats. She is approximately 1-2 years old. My grandsons are both allergic to her so unfortunately we are having to rehome her. We are looking for a loving home and hopefully one where she will get a lot of attention. We need to find a new home for her as soon as possible because my youngest grandson has gotten to where he is severely allergic to her.

Story
My sweet baby girl, Cleopatra, was adopted by me in 2012 shortly after my husband died (Army). She will be 12yrs old this month, & she had been around very big dogs for the first 8yrs of her life before the last of my dogs passed away. I had to relocate to Jacksonville, NC last summer for work, and was only able to find a place for her to be fostered. Unfortunately, where I live, I cannot have her, and her foster family is now moving. She is a sweet heart of a cat, she is very loving and snuggly, but the past year has her somewhat scared of busy little kids. She really wants to just be loved, snuggled, and lay in the sunshine for the rest of her days. It is breaking my heart to have to give her away, but she deserves a good home, and to finish her days happily. Please know, she isn't overly fond of small, yappy dogs, or grabby little kids. She is a talkative cat and has an affinity for being center of attention. Please give my Cleo-kitty; a good happy home.
