🐾💙 Meet George – The Attention-Seeking Little Charmer! 💙🐾 📍 Lexington, SC 🐱 George | ~5 months (DOB ~5/20/26) | ♂️ 🐾 DSH – Dilute Tabby 🩺 Scheduled for neuter & final round of vaccines on 11/16 in Columbia, SC. Adopter can either take him to this appointment and pick him up afterward, or wait until everything is completed. Microchipped, dewormed & UTD on flea/heartworm prevention. 🐶🐱👧 Good with dogs, cats & kids: Good with everything he’s been introduced to so far! ⚠️ No known medical or aggression issues. 🏡 George was found as a stray and surrendered to us so we could get him somewhere safe and give him a chance at finding a home. 🥰 Personality: George is VERY friendly and absolutely knows no stranger! 😂 He is also an attention-demanding little guy who wants to know exactly why you're in the room if you're not currently paying attention to him. He doesn't seem to be afraid of much and is always ready to investigate whatever is happening. 👀🐾 He has no problems being held and LOVES to play. If you're looking for a confident, outgoing kitten who will happily make himself everyone's business and keep you entertained, George may be your guy! 💙 📩 Message/email if interested! Please include George's name in your message, as I have a lot of rescue animals currently looking for homes. 🏡 Adoption application & contract required to ensure a good home and completion of remaining vetting.

Story
Milo is a one year old cat. I got him from someone giving away a whole litter when he was 6 weeks old. Milo is an active cat and would love a home where he will be able to have a playmate and get his energy out! He is energetic, friendly, outgoing, and hilarious!

Story
Turtle is a sweet 1 YEAR old beautiful girl who is a survivor of a house fire. There were 24 cats total but not all of them survived the fire. The homeowner knowing the home was a total lost, reached out to rescues for vetting and homes for the surviving "colony" of stray cats. Cats that were domesticated and friendly were released to Friends of Felines in hopes to find them a chance at a loving home of their own and our rescue paid for TNR for the rest of the cats to stop the reproduction. She is good with kids, other cats, dogs and pigs. I am still getting to know her and her true personality, but I have seen nothing but desirable behaviors from her. She is a little shy but friendly and loving. https://bit.ly/fofadoptionapplication

Story
Marshall showed up to our back porch and made himself at home. He’s a sweet slightly timid boy who’s around a year maybe? He likes to come in and sit with you, get cuddles, and he’s good to chill on the porch. He’s been inside with a litter box and had no problems at all. He’s neutered and we haven’t had any marking or destructive behavior. We’d like to rehome him because we have 6 other cats, some of whom are starting to bully him because he’s very timid. He’s such a sweet boy. If we didn’t already have so many we would love to be able to keep him! He’s is neutered and up to date with shots. He’s and indoor and outdoor cat. He’s comfortable in both environments. Just needs some nicer cat friends! He might take a day or so to warm up to you but he’s a cuddly boy when he does. If you’re interested please fill out an application!
