Story
Sully has come such a long way since we took him in. We have given him persistant cuddle sessions, and he has grown in to a sweet lap cat. He's fine with nice dogs and other cats. He is not child tested. Sully will likely be a little shy at first in a new home, but once he settles in, he will be your "end of the bed buddy." Adoption applications are only available to those over 21 who live in the Wilmington, NC area. We do not adopt outside of a one hour radius. Please do not apply if you do not meet these requirements. http://www.felinematchmakers.org ##1837285##

Story
Hi everyone! My name is Austin, and I am looking to re home my cat Fiona. She was previously my older sisters cat and I took her in about 3 years ago. My work schedule has become much busier recently and I am also traveling more often. I cannot always find a sitter for her nor can I afford to board every time ( she also does not get along with other animals or children so that makes it more difficult). She’s a wonderful cat, very sweet and loving. It takes time for her to warm up but after she will be playing and begging you for Fancy Feast. She can be quite vocal at times when she wants something. I will take her to the vet before re homing to make sure shots/vaccs are all updated, etc. I’m sure she would appreciate and be more comfortable with someone who has a bigger living space and access to a backyard/ patio that is safe and that she can play in from time to time. She is an indoor cat, not meant for outside full time, but likes to sunbathe and play in the grass.

This beautiful boy can not catch a break, at 2 years old Skeeter is now on a special diet for the rest of his life because he had a urinary blockage. Thankfully he is okay now and would love to be the only animal in a home to get all the attention that he has missed out on. If you think Skeeter is the right fit for you please contact us so we can set up an appointment for you to meet him.

Story
Meet Cleo! This incredibly friendly kitty is transitioning to become an indoor-only cat and looking for a new home. She was found wandering the beach starving, exposed to the elements, and covered in fleas. Unfortunately, probably an abandoned kitty. Cleo is a very loving cat who just needs a space and family of her own to spread out her toe beans :)
