Mr. McGoo is a ~10 year old Orange and white cat who needs a new home. Mr. McGoo weighs 6.9 lbs. This cat is located in Apex, NC 27523.
Mr. McGoo is a wonderful cat who sits at my top set begging to leave the garage and join the inside world. Even when he showed up in my driveway, starving, he was sweet and gentle. He ate his Fancy Feast and didn't flinch when my toddler squealed with delight. He showed no aggression at the vet and they became fast friends after a few treats. All he wants to do is purr in my arms. I don't know how he reacts to other animals, but he is good with kids. Ideally, he would be an indoor only cat with a person with a warm lap.
Mr. McGoo is good with Cats: Unknown, Dogs: Unknown, Kids: Yes

Lucy is a 9 year old British Tortoiseshell cat who needs a new home. Lucy weighs ~14 lbs and is Indoor only. This cat is located in Chapel Hill, NC 27514.
Please help this British Tortoiseshell find a happy home. She has been very shy from the start and has overcome many difficulties since being rescued from an abusive, chaotic home eight years ago. This nine-year old cat is loving and chatty, likes to chase the laser mousie and enjoys catnip. When our home is quiet, she ventures forth to request petting and likes to talk back when you talk to her. Unfortunately, her personality does not mesh well with another cat of ours (another rescue) and we have come to see that she would ultimately be very happy in a single cat home. She would be a grateful, wonderful "starter cat" for a first time cat owner. After the hard upbringing she's had, and the current state of unhappiness she is in, we would love to see her end her days in relative contentment, rather than misery. Please consider her. We would be happy to take her to the vet and make certain she is in perfect health and fully up-to-date on any shots prior to giving her to your loving home. We want what's best for her, and we realize that that cannot happen with us. Maybe it can happen with you?
Lucy is good with Cats: No, Dogs: Unknown, Kids: Unknown

Are you the owner: My husband Steve is.
Reason for surrender: She has become very reclusive and miserable due to conflict with the personality of another one of our cats (another rescue). We realize she would be happier in a single cat home, most likely.
How did you acquire: My husband rescued Lucy from the home of an active alcoholic.
How long owned: ~8 years.

Community Listing: Timmy
Timmy is a 10 year old White with brown/black patches cat who needs a new home. This cat is located in
Charlotte NC, 28269.
Timmy is a friendly cat, but very independent. He likes to snuggle and be petted, but at his own discretion. He gets along nicely with other cats but can display dominance. He like to communicate in his own way to let you know he is in need of something by a meow or directing you to his food bowl.

Are you the owner: Yes.
Reason for surrender: I am going into the military and have no one to take care of my cat while I am away. What I would like to find is someone who would take care of him while I am away for a few months until I am station and can take him back. I will pay for his supplies, and for his length of time being spent. What I could settle for is to have him in a nice home with nice people to love him.

Community Listing: Boudicca
Boudicca is a 7 year old American Shorthair cat who needs a new home. Boudicca is Indoor only. This cat is located in Reidsville NC 27320. Her guardians are willing to transport her to her new home.
Boudicca is a GREAT companion kitty. She's a talker, she loves to play with teasers, she loves being in your lap while you are on the PC or watching TV or reading. She follows you about the house - she's a GREAT cat, friendly, funny, very lovely, we think. Her IDEAL HOME would be where she would be an only kitty so she could "rule the roost" and not feel threatened or intimidated by other felines.
MORE PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST! Whoever adopts this kitty will REALLY never regret it!
Boudicca is good with Cats: No, Dogs: Unknown, Kids: Unknown
Contact Laura & Gary C. at castlebreaker@gmail.com, Cell 336 264 6634, Home 336 349 1991.
Are you the owner: Yes
Reason for surrender: We have tried to integrate Boudicca into our house with our other four cats but she has a "vendetta" against one of them in particular (this cat has only one eye and we think that might be setting her off). We've tried everything, from behavior modification tips that people have given us to ... well, everything. She just has it in for my one-eyed black kitty and we feel that Boudicca would be MOST happy being in a home where she can be an "only kitty". She gets along with some of our other cats well but there are small issues with them too, which leads us to believe that, really, she'd be happiest where she could be Queen Bee and get all the attention! She's a talker, she'll follow you around the house, loves to be in your lap - she's a GREAT companion & we really DO want to see her get the right home!
How did you acquire: She wandered into our yard
How long owned: About 3 years

Fixed? Yes
UTD on rabies? Yes
UTD on FCRVP? Yes
Declawed? No
Medical conditions? She gets L-Lysine in her wet food for stress.
