Story
Hi, my name Indigo and I am a handsome mini panther….at least in my dreams!  I love it when you pet my soft black fur coat and every where is purrfectly fine with me.  Playtime is one of my priorities with either my feline or human friends and all toys are great.  Indigo is a happy kitty and you will hear his loud purr often. At nap time you will find him cuddling with his siblings in a sunny spot.  Indigo has a birthdate of 6/7/2025, up to date on vaccinations and will be neutered when age appropriate.  He is looking for an indoor home with toys, a playmate and a comfy bed.  If you are looking for a fun family pet, come meet Indigo! *************************************************************************** This pet comes with an implanted 24 PetWatch microchip and free registration into the 24PetWatch pet recovery service. *************************************************************************** This cat is available for adoption at the Humane Society of McCormick County in SC for an adoption fee. All of our cats are indoor kitties. To adopt, contact 864-391-2349 or info@hsmcsc.org. We are an all-volunteer 501c3 organization. To learn more, visit www.hsmcsc.org.August 30, 2025, 8:05 pm

Story
Junior is a very special cat! We first brought him home as a companion for our other cat, his brother from a different litter but the same mom. From day one, Junior has been playful, curious, and full of energy. He adapts easily to new environments and enjoys exploring, whether he’s on his own or with others. He grew up around three dogs and loved playing with them, and he does wonderfully with both kids and pets. Though Junior loves to have fun, he is also quite independent. He isn’t the cuddly type and usually seeks affection on his own terms. But when he does come to snuggle, you’ll feel like the most special person in the world. Those moments may be rare, but they are truly meaningful. We’re hoping to find Junior a forever home where he can stay active and happy. Ideally, he’d join a household with other pets, especially cats, to play with. If not, a loving home full of energy, play, and affection will be the perfect match.

Story
Hi, I’m Mosaic — a masterpiece in fur and purr. I’m a mama cat, but my kitten-raising days are behind me, and now I’m ready to be your baby. I’m sweet as honey, soft as a cloud, and clingier than your favorite sweater in static season. If you’re not petting me, I will remind you — by politely stretching up on my back legs like a tiny fuzzy meerkat or giving you a gentle tap-tap with my paw. That’s right, I’m basically the cat version of “Excuse me, ma’am??” I’m cool with kids, other cats, dogs — basically anyone who appreciates fine art and a good cuddle. I don’t cause drama; I just collect head scritches like they’re going out of style. Looking for a low-maintenance, high-love masterpiece to complete your home? Adopt me, and let’s turn your life into a purr-sonal gallery of love. Mosaic =^..^=, DSH Ballinese, Female, DOB 3/13/2021 Adoption Application - Cat Around Town Project August 30, 2025, 4:41 pm
