Story
We adopted Barry from our vet as a kitten in Raleigh, NC in 2017. He was the most charming, friendly and interactive kitten I had ever met and he charmed us from the moment we saw him. Apparently he was found as a kitten in the middle of a busy street when he was rescued. He still acts like every meal could be his last! He is very interactive with people and has lived with 2 other cats and a dog for the last 7 years. He is a special and very sweet cat. He is healthy and has no health problems. He used to get bladder infections occasionally until we moved him to the special science diet food. Has not had one since we started this food. We are needing to rehome him because of of our travel schedules. He is much happier being around people as much as possible and can get lonely. He is a precious cat.

Story
Dave is a 2 year old neutered male. He is a shorthaired tuxedo cat. He is super playful and very energetic. He is very healthy and ideal weight. I adopted him from wake county SPCA a few months ago and he’s been meowing since I brought him home. He’s such a sweet boy but the meowing is a lot. It seems to subside with attention so I think he will be better off in a home where someone is always home. I work 40+ hours a week, so no amount of attention I can give him is enough. Dave will come with all of his belongings including a water fountain, automatic timed food dispenser, all toys and beds, ect.

Story
We found him in 2023 while hiking with our dogs. He was around 4-5 weeks old and it took awhile to nurse him back to health. He is very sweet and affectionate but terrified of strangers and loud noises. A home without children and dogs would probably be best for him.
