Story
Zaika (little bunny) or “Z” is a little miracle wrapped in orange fluff. He was found outside in the cold, barely hanging on, suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection and fighting just to breathe. But this brave boy didn’t give up—and now, thanks to love and care, he’s made a full comeback and is ready for the life he almost didn’t get. 💔➡️❤️ Zaika was born without a tail, which gives him the most adorable bunny-like behind—one look and you’re guaranteed to smile. He’s playful, sweet, and incredibly loving, with the kind of gentle spirit that makes you want to protect him forever. He loves to play, snuggle, and simply be close to his people. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, and healthy—he just needs what every rescued heart needs most: a loving home and someone to choose him. Zaika has already fought so hard for his life. Now he’s ready to spend it safe, warm, and deeply loved. 🧡🐾

Story
Elsa is a true tortie, and that means magic in its purest form ✨—a bold little soul wrapped in beautiful, funky colors. She’s confident, curious, and full of life, always the first to explore, investigate, and leap headfirst into whatever adventure comes next. But beneath that spark is a heart that longs for belonging. Elsa loves deeply—curling into your lap, soaking up affection, and filling a home with warmth and joy. As the holidays approach, she’s ready for her biggest wish: a home of her own, a person to love, and a place where she can finally settle in for good. This holiday season, while homes glow with lights and love, Elsa is waiting for someone to choose her. Take her home for the holidays—and give this brave, beautiful girl the forever family she’s been hoping for. 🎄🐾💔✨ preferably Elsa will go to the same home as her brother Dexter.

Story
Meet Frosty boy!! He just turned 1 y/o this year on August 8th! Frosty Ja'Quayvius Demonté Thompson is the sweetest tuxedo cat ever. He is extremely friendly, playful and loves to cuddle. Frost Boy doesn't just wear the tuxedo well, he is very much a distinguished gentleman. Whenever I break out the treats or some good Sheba, he will rub my leg as I take it out as a "Thank you for understanding what I want" haha! Then as i put it in the bowl, he gives me another "thank you" with head butts to my hand. I find it adorable. Frosty never meets a stranger I tell ya that. Recently I was laid off of my job and I am struggling as a single mom to keep the bills paid so this is why I have to give him up. I really do not want to but he deserves more. I can't afford vet bills and food so I ask someone really special to give him a home. He's not a bother, he just loves and wants tons of cuddles and scratches. Thank you very much!

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
