Story
Max is 5 yo. I adopted him with his (very young) mom in the fall of 2020. He is the sweetest boy, but he and his mom don’t get along despite my every effort with meds and other strategies with my vet and other experts. I think Max will be happiest in a home without another cat, where he can get plenty of love from his owner. He is energetic and VERY affectionate and loves to play with his toys. He is an indoor only cat — it’s all he’s ever known. I’d never suggest he be outdoor. He is a beautiful boy and I’m heartbroken to have to list him. He is good with older kids — I’ve not seen him with young kids. Of course, any children and adults should be respectful with pets.

Story
Mable is a five-year-old cat who prefers to watch the world from the quiet edges of a room. She’s shy with new people and usually keeps her distance, but those who earn her trust get to see her softer side—gentle head bumps, a slow blink, or a soft purr. Mable notices everything: a new plant in the corner, a changed routine, even the sound of her human’s footsteps before they reach the door. She’s happiest perched on a windowsill or tucked into a cozy corner, quietly studying her surroundings, and while she may not demand attention, she gives it back in the sweetest, most thoughtful ways when she feels safe.

Story
Belmont is a sweet, cuddly, 2-3 year old cat. He is comfortable and confident wherever he goes. He loves to sunbathe and is very social and curious. The only reason he is being rehomed is because his owner is joining the Navy and could not make arrangements to hold him temporarily. We are sad to part with him, but would love for him to find the happy forever home that he deserves.

Story
Hugo is a five-year-old cat who has a lot to say about everything. He chirps at the birds outside, meows when his food bowl isn’t full enough, and can hold a conversation. Despite all his opinions, Hugo is a devoted lap cat. The only thing that rattles him is thunder; the moment a storm rolls in, he darts for the nearest lap, pressing close until the rumbling stops. Mabel is Hugo’s sister from the same litter. She prefers to watch the world from the quiet edges of a room. She’s happiest perched on a windowsill or tucked into a cozy corner, and while she may not demand attention, she gives it back in the sweetest, most thoughtful ways when she feels safe. Both kitties love being around people - they follow us room to room and love showing affection and appreciation to their family members. We never feel worried while traveling since we know the cats will keep each other active and content. Mabel's profile: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/45907070-charlotte-north-carolina-cat
