Story
Toby needs a happy home! Toby came to me in December as a sick stray cat. He was terrified of people. After months of working with him and feeding him, he eventually became one of the sweetest cats I’ve seen. He enjoys baths and being drenched with the hose on a hot summer day, laps for really long naps, and lots of churros. Toby had stomatitis in his mouth and needed all his teeth removed. He now has his four front teeth. This does NOT hinder him, he just needs water to soften the food. He is also FIV positive but gets along with my cats and is not phased by dogs.

I found him on a back country road at night. He came running right up to me! He did great for a bath and nail trim that night and loves sleeping next to someone. He’s been eating and drinking well and is very curious about other cats and dogs. He’s been very playful with some toys.

Oreo is a sweet and social little boy born mid September. He is playful, loves to climb and is used to other kitties so would be an awesome addition to your lonely cat or puppy at home. Oreo was born inside a home and his mother was combo tested and is negative for Fiv and Felv, so Oreo is good to go as well! Oreo's neuter and vaccines are included in the adoption fee. Please email info@angelstotheanimals.org for more information/application or to arrange a meet and greet!!. Must be 22 to apply.

Story
This baby is so social...he was born inside and handled since birth. Alvin and his siblings, Simon, Theo, and Cleo are so chill. They would be awesome additions to any family. They are used to cats and dogs!! Alvin is just at 8 weeks and is undergoing his kitten booster shots. He is available for adoption and his neuter is scheduled for end of August/September when is older. We would only adopt Alvin out with a sibling or to a family with another kitty. We give an awesome discount for 2 so you have twice the love. Alvin will thrive best with a play-buddy to help socialize him and grow up knowing how hard to play and interact with other kitties. Kittens learn this from their fur brothers and sisters!! To meet Alvin and his gang please email info@angelstotheanimals.org or Edenlake1@yahoo.com Must be 22 to apply.

Story
Tessa and Travis were rescued from a rural area with too many kitties and not enough food. They are social and very interested in everything that is going on. They would be a great addition to any family from the lonely work from home professional to young couple wanting their first pets. Tessa and Travis are a bonded pair but would do fine if they had another kitten to play with at home. We steep discounts if you have room in your heart for twice the love!! Travis is neutered and Tessa is scheduled to be spayed in the next few weeks. Both tested negative for fiv and feline leukemia. Tessa loves to zoom around the house and Travis is the more chilled out explorer. You will have many hours of fun with these little ones. Email info@angelstotheanimals.org or Edenlake1@yahoo.com for more information. These babies are fostered in Cornelius and easy to see pending a completed Meet and Greet questionnaire. Must be 22 to apply.

Story
Travis is an adorable tuxedo kitty boy who is a joy to be around. He loves to purr, explore, chase his sister Tessa, and gets along with other kitties and the Labrador Retriever in his foster home. He and his sister were rescued from a rural area of too many cats and not enough food. These little kittens were having to compete with the adults for scraps. It was so sad...but now they are loving life and hoping for their forever home. They are up-to-date on their distemper vaccines and Travis is neutered. They would be an awesome addition for the lonely work from home professional or the young couple wanting their first fur children. Their rehoming fee is $135 each but only $200 for 2 together so you can have twice the love in your home. We will consider adopting them out separately if you have a playful kitty at home already. Travis and Tessa love to play and be together. Kittens are very social and need the companionship so will be happy together when you are not home or go on vacation. Please email info@angelstotheanimals.org or Edenlake1@yahoo.com for more information. Must be 22 to apply. These kittens are fostered in Cornelius and would love to meet you soon!!
