Story
This sweet cat started picking up at my place a month ago ,we have feral cats around here,but he is way to tame and sweet for a feral loves being petted, and he wants to come inside,unfortunately I can't let him in,he don't mind my little dog but I got pet birds inside and birds and cats don't match, I believe someone had him as a pet and dumped him here,which isn't the first time,he desperately wants to be a inside cat, he trys pushing him inside :(, so here we are trying to find Garfield a inside home, he is super loving and would make a great pet, I be willing to help with have him neutered and shots giving at a low cost place,as iam a senior and can't afford a regular vet.

Story
Winnie came to us in the Fall of 2022. She appeared as a kitten on the doorstep. We took her in and loved her. We took her to the vet and she became part of our family. We had her fixed in February 2025. Since then, she hates our other girl cats. She attacks them, chases them, corners them. She has to be kept in a separate area of the house from all the others. She’s very loving and enjoys spending time with me and my kids. But, I don’t think it’s fair for her to be confined to one small area. She needs a home where she is the only girl. (She gets along fine with our boy cat). She likes to play and is very curious. She occasionally play bites but she always says sorry. I don’t want money for her, I just want to find her a nice home where she would be kept inside. She has never been outside and would probably not be able to survive on her own. She weighs 8 pounds and does not shed a lot. She eats dry cat food(Meow Mix -the original ) and uses unscented free and clear Tidy Cat litter.

Story
Harper was found at a shopping center with his entire family dumped there to fend for themselves. One by one we safely secured each kitten and are working on the adults. He is a very shy kitten and loves his friend Chevy very much, they came into the rescue days apart. He is reserved and accepts love and is working on being held. He is a beautiful young cat and can be affectionate at times if I am just minding my own business He has trust issues and will require someone that will let him come out of his shell at his own pace. He has one more vaccine and will be ready for his furever home at the end of March :).

Story
Ren is about 3 years old and is such a sweetie! He loves getting pets and belly rubs are his favorite. I adopted him from the Spartanburg Humane Society when he was a kitten and we’ve been really close since. Even though it breaks my heart, I have to rehome him because he has issues marking around my home. He was prescribed anxiety medicine by his vet and when he takes it he doesn’t have issues urinating outside his box. I’ve just struggled to keep up with this specific care need of his. Ren’s new home will need to provide a relaxed environment where he is given his medicine every day, taken to the vet, and preferably doesn’t have dogs. Ren tolerates dogs, but gets extremely stressed out if they chase him. He has lived with other cats for pretty much his entire life and will get along well with them when properly introduced. He's shy around people, but incredibly friendly once you start petting him. Other than his urination outside the box I haven't had any behavioral issues

Story
Bianca is a beautiful cat who showed up at our house one day! She was pregnant and looking for food and a safe place to have her kittens, so we started feeding her regularly. Sometime in April of 2024, she gave birth to 3 bobtail kittens even though she herself has a long tail. After she gave birth, we moved her and her kittens into our garage after chasing a fox and coyote away from her and her kittens. Bianca is not an affectionate cat, but she doesn’t mind humans and will play with you when using a string toy. We are not sure how old she is, but we assume somewhere between 2-3 years old. She is not spayed or vaccinated. She is very close with her son Wolfy, so we are hoping to get them adopted together. We want her to get a safe and happy home!

These pups are in Anderson, South Carolina too!
