Story

Tink and his brother, Rusty are stray cats that been visiting since summer 2024. Tink is extremely affectionate and loves to be brushed and petted. Tink was neutered and had his first vaccines on 11/12. Tink is FIV positive and needs to be an indoor cat only. We have two other cats with FIV and they have lived long and healthy lives! I would absolutely love to keep this cat but I am a Mother to five other indoor cats. Tink will go to his new owner with a supply of food and his paperwork. The adoption fee is negotiable. Please check out Rusty’s profile as well!

Story

Trix is a super sweet tuxedo kitty who doesn't let her missing leg slow her down. We've had her for 2.5 years after adopting her from a shelter and our other kitty does not get along with her. We've tried everything to get our tabby to get along and nothing worked. We love Trix. She loves to be pet and will come right up demanding pets. She is good around kids and allows our 3 year old to pet her. She is vocal and loves to have conversations. She does have a touch of that tuxedo sass but it only shows up in her dislike of being picked up and the occasional warning nibble if she doesn't want to be pet. She loves to play with pretty much anything she can find and also loves to run around. She is capable of going up and down stairs and does not have any issues getting around due to her missing leg. You will never find her on one of your counters because that is the only thing high enough she can't jump up on ( she can get up onto chairs and the cat tower fine).

Story

Mel (caramel colored kitty) showed up on our back porch a few months ago. We figure someone had owned him, moved and unfortunately left him to fin for himself. Definitely used to being inside, loves to be held, sit in your lap, eats dry and can food. Uses a litter box, but also goes outside. (Some male cats will spray, but he does not.) I took him to Humane Society of Charlotte, and they checked him out, had him neutered, rabies vaccine and checked for Fel V/FIV (negative). He's also visited Stand For Animals. Would love to find him a stable and loving home. We already have three cats and sometimes he tries to chase one, play, etc. He's probably better by himself or perhaps with one other cat. Not sure about a dog but have a feeling he would adapt.

Story

meet Lulu and you will have a life partner 💝.. she is a very sweet and affectionate 20-month-old girl, she was adopted when she was 4 months old. I love everything about her, Lulú is clean and polite, She loves to play ball like a puppy does! ...She is used to spending the day alone (but she prefers the company, especially that of an adult or an older child) she is quite shy when she does not know people and it takes a little time to adapt, but it is easy to reach her by talking to her sweetly and giving her a little caresses on the chin. She has no problems with food, she is very healthy. She loves to sleep in closed and dark places, to relax she prefers the view from a window or spend time in the cat tower especially enjoys the basket or the high bed.. it is being difficult to make this decision to give her up for adoption but my circumstances do not allow me to continue with her 😔. I'm looking for a home where she can be very loved and be freer.

Story

We adopted Millie with her sister Maggie from Petsmart in April 2024. Maggie is the social one, and Millie is the shy one. They love each other and snuggle together all the time. Millie is very smart but also very cautious. She's shy and gets scared easily. With time, we gained her confidence, and she sleeps on the bed with us. Due to unforeseen medical issues, we have to rehome them, and we are hoping to rehome them together. They are strictly indoor cats.

Story

Ellie is in need of a good home. My apartment lease is ending in June 2025 and I cannot take her or my other cat with me. It’s sad as me to see her go, but she cannot stay with me at my new home as I will be living with someone who is deathly allergic to cats. If Ellie does not find a home by June 2025, she will need to go to the local shelter and I believe it is a kill shelter. She’s a sweet girl with a playful temperament and I believe she’d be a welcome addition to any family.

Story

Miles is a very sweet boy. Originally adopted in Raleigh, North Carolina from the shelter, he can be slow to warm up, but once he does, he loves snuggles. We hate to part ways with him, but we can no longer keep him with us, and we are desperately seeking a good home for him by June 2025, when our apartment lease expires.

Chester

British Shorthair

Details

Good with kids, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Chester has, until now, had a hard life. He lived in a colony outside for years. The lady feeding the colony requested euthanasia when he tested positive for both Feline AIDS and Feline Leukemia. Despite the diagnosis, Chester is healthy and vigorous. He is a healthy weight, has clear eyes, eats well, uses his litter box, and plays with his toys. He is also very loving and craves attention, which of course he did not get all those years of living outside. We know that Chester still has a lot of love to give to the right family. Please help us help him. For more information or an adoption application, contact Nancy Foltz at 704-616-4904 or NEFoltz@Yahoo.com
