Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Durham, North Carolina

Name: Winslow Age: Approx 3-4 yrs. Gender: Male Weight: Approx 9-10 lbs. Adoption Fee: $80 Winslow's story is kind of sad and brought tears to my eyes when I first learned where he came from. Winslow and his friend (Willow) were surrendered from a drug house in Wilkesboro, NC. Their owner passed away but they were neglected and mistreated so much that when I took them in they were both severely matted, dirty, emaciated, had fleas, skin rashes. I've attached a few before pictures of when I got him. He was brought to me on May 6th and I've had him in my care for about 6 weeks now. I took him to the vet right away and he was treated given a physical exam and properly medicated. Winslow has been slowly healing and his condition wasn't as bad as Willow's but you can tell their prior environment was not good. Winslow is funny, kinda quirky and loves getting attention. He's a total lap kitty and will just lay in your lap while being affectionate and giving you motor purrs. I don't know how he is with dogs. He absolutely loves the string toy and has a playful personality. He's full of energy and doesn't mind being the center of attention. Winslow enjoys a big cat tree and some scratching posts. I will say he does have a playful bite to him. But it's those bites that he's trying to be playful and doesn't realize it sometimes hurts us humans. He definitely loves food and is very food motivated. Like his friend Willow..always part of the clean plate club. :) I feel like Winslow would do well with other cats. Winslow is neutered, vaccinated and tested negative for FIV/FELV. All paperwork will be provided at time of adoption. I require a professional reference, and if you have or had any current pet/s, I will need to see their paperwork. Winslow is so deserving af a good home with love and affection. He will not be adopted to just anyone, I want to make sure it's a good fit for Winslow and his potential adopter/s. If you'd like to learn more about Winslow contact me and let's help find him a sweet, loving home.

Jack Daniels and his friend Coconut came together as they were bonded and got along really well. Although, Jack looks like a full grown adult, he's actually still an older kitten. He's very smart, affectionate, playful but can be cautious. Jack has the cutest meow that you wouldn't expect to come out of him. It's almost like his vocal cords were not fully grown. :) His favorite toy is the string toy. He likes to sit on your lap if your legs are criss crossed. He loves chin and head rubs and will just gaze at you with his beautiful brown/orange eyes. Jack Daniels has been neutered, vaccinated, tested and de-wormed. He's a healthy, happy boy and is now ready to find his forever home. There's an adoption fee that's a part of his application process. If you'd like to learn more about Jack Daniels, reach out to Heather at catsonthehorizon@gmail.com.

Hi Human! My name is Coconut and i'm the cutest kitten you've ever seen. Just look at my baby face with my big round eyes. I've got a pink nose that matches my pink toe beans that goes great with my fluffy gray and white coat. I came with my friend Jack Daniels and have been in great care since my foster mom took us in. I've been to the vet, neutered, vaccinated, tested and de-wormed. I'm all healthy now and am looking for my forever home. If possible, I'd like to be adopted with my friend Jack Daniels. After all, you can't mix a 'cat friendly' drink without Jack Daniels and Coconut together. I'm your typical playful and energetic kitten who likes to play with the string toy, and laser pointer. My foster mom says I can be a bit aloof at times but that's because everything is new and exciting to me. Will you consider meeting me? I look forward to finding my forever home. Please reach out to Heather at catsonthehorizon@gmail.com.

Tia is a striking tortie with varied interests: being adored, watching birds through the window, chasing laser dots, being combed and petted, playing with wand toys, and eating to name a few. She is funny, sweet, and has a mighty purr. Don't let her age fool you: she LOVES to play and sprints at high speed chasing after the laser dot. It took Tia a while to feel comfortable when she came to her foster home, but now -- while not a lap cat -- she wants to be within a few feet of her foster mom almost all the time. She is a wonderful companion who will do best in a calm, settled household without any other pets. To learn more about Tia, visit her website: https://pamassard.wixsite.com/tiathefostercat

Didion is a sweetheart of a cat. He absolutely loves to hang out with the people in his environment. He enjoys being petted, snuggling up on a lap, and running to chase a laser dot! He is a true cuddle bug! Didion would be a great cat for someone who works from home or a family that has time to dote on him. Didion is great with the resident cat he has been raised with but has not been thrilled with other cats who have been introduced into the household. He would be best adopted into a household with no other cats so he can be the focus of all the cat love and attention. Didion must be adopted as a solo cat and with his family understanding how important his is for his well being. Didion has a medical condition that requires twice a day very inexpensive medication. As a kitten he was diagnosed with a thyroid condition, which is very rare. Luckily, he is very easy to give a pill to! In addition to the medication, he will need to have bloodwork done once per year to ensure his medication dosage is still appropriate. With his medication, he is a healthy, happy cat and is expected to live a full life. He is truly not a fan of going to the vet and all the strange smells there so he would love someone who is willing to have a vet who makes housecalls rather than having to go into a vet's office. Having a mobile vet will be very important to his wellness and much less stressful for all!

Tex is a gentle, shy and sweet girl looking for a loving family to call her own. She loves watching from afar while her foster brother plays with their toys and will occasionally join in! She feels most comfortable in her favorite safe space but absolutely loves when people come over to give her some pets and treats while she's all cozied up!

Link is 5 years old and I have had him since he was a kitten. He is one of the sweetest cats you will ever meet. He is not shy around strangers and will go right up to you and sit on your lap if you let him. If you feel like cuddling, just call him over and he will happily sit on your lap! He is very affectionate as well as very energetic! He loves being pet and chasing toys. He loves doing "cat-acro" where I put him on my feet and he hangs out in the air! I am rehoming him only because I am about to be traveling full-time and unfortunately just won't be able to care for him.

Buttons is a cuddly, playful, and loving cat. He was adopted when he was 6 weeks old. It took him about 3 weeks to fully adjust to his home. He loves a comfortable spot to lay and prefers it to be up high. :) He lives for body rubs!! Whenever he wakes up he likes a session of rubs and hugs. Buttons loves to play with his feather stick. He will wake me up by dragging it towards me so I can hear the bell or he will stand on top of it and rub my leg to signal it’s play time. He hasn’t been around too many men, so that could definitely be an adjustment. He hates baths, but loves to be in the bathroom with you. He is the sweetest cat I’ve ever met. I wish I could be with him more and really give him the love he deserves. I hope the family that gets to know him will take him in as family to love and be loved.

Peaches was born from a litter of a stray cat in a friend’s neighborhood. She was born indoor and has remained indoor her entire life. She is about two years old now. She has lived with a cat and dog her whole life but as she grew up she started not getting along with the dog. The dog follows her around due to herding genes and this has made peaches feel like she has no territory for herself. We are looking for a cat only home for her to enjoy some peace and quiet. She may be shy at first but she loves to cuddle (on her terms), loves to play especially with other cats, and loves treats and food. She has grown into a very clean, cuddly cat, with a healthy curiosity and playfulness about her.
