Story
Our Pets are fostered and physically located in North Carolina until adopted. We can transport to your location or one of our many north eastern location.We have a transporter that delivers every other week. Cha-Cha was pulled from a rural shelter. She has been with us since she was maybe 8 weeks. She is spunky and full of sass. She is ok with being held, but she would rather be friends on her own terms. She is happier doing her own thing. She is not one to crawl up in your lab and demand attention. She is a very cute cat though. She is good with other cats and she is good with dogs. This baby will go home current on all age appropriate vetting,deworming and on flea heartworm prevention, and microchipped. She is spayed! This kitten will see our vet prior to transport and will receive a complete physical and certificate of health issued by our vet. The adopter will get all the health records with adoptions. We require a pre screen application to adopt. You can get that on our website at www.saveamuttkennel.net

Story
Ernie is the definition of a scaredy-cat. He would do well in a house that is quiet and ideally without other pets. However, if someone has another cat, Ernie will be OK with that. He has two siblings right now, who are also available. Ernie is very food motivated and pretty vocal about it. He loves wet food & panics if the dry food is empty for five minutes. He loves a good snuggle and a chin rub and his purr is pretty amazing. He is about 10-years old with no known health issues.

Ms. Katarina is truly the best combination of traits you could ever want. She is quiet but not shy about telling you what she wants, she is playful and goofy but really just wants to lay down & snuggle. She just wants to be around people. When we play outside with our Autistic son, she stays right with us looking over him and being his Protector! She loves chasing the mouse toy and catching all the bubbles we blow 🤗! I took her to the vet and got her fixed/shots but cannot adopt her, I have an elderly female cat that is not friendly. This Lil gal is the sweetest and quietest kitty, she is very cute and petite and will fall over trying to rub on you and get snuggles. I think she would love any environment. She gets along with other kitties, she loves kids, and she just wants a chance to have a real home. Please consider loving her the way she deserves, I wish I could, or tell a friend about Ms. Katarina Kitty Cat, she will make a wonderful lifelong and loyal pet!
