Cat of the Week: Juno

Hi, my name is Juno and I am the Goathouse Cat of the Week! If you've visited the refuge and sat outside, you probably met me--I hold court in the area with the chairs! I am around two years old and came to the Goathouse last year with my kittens. They have all been adopted and now I hope it's my chance. I'm a photogenic lap cat with a sweet, contented air. Pleased to meet you!

Cat of the Week: Freddie

Oh, the cuteness! Fabulous Freddie, the Goathouse Cat of the Week, has a smudge, a goatee, and a beauty mark! Freddie was rescued from a SC shelter that closed and he is a very special boy. He loves people AND other kitties and he is an all-around charmer! Freddie is a seven year-old boy who has been waiting a long time to find a forever home. It's hard to believe when you look at that face!

Cat of the Week: Guido

This is Guido, the Goathouse Cat of the Week! Three years ago, the refuge rescued Guido from death in a county shelter. Since then, he has been patiently waiting to find his forever home. Guido was very shy when he first arrived at the Goathouse, but he now enjoys being around people and has become quite cuddly! He's a big boy with an easy going nature, and he would love to have his own family.

Cat of the Week: Cammie

Good afternoon! I am Cammie, the Goathouse Cat of the Week! I am around five years old and I like to hang out in the refuge building. I have a meow that has been compared to a frog's croak, and every once in a while, someone asks if I am pregnant, but I am NOT! I just have big bones! Anyway, I hope that my day will come soon, as I have been at the refuge a long time and I would really love to have my own family.

I have came to the consideration of cat shelters.

Sweet yellow and beige cat needs a new home. This cat is located in Efland, NC 27243.

The cat is very sweet and loving to all it comes in contact with. It loves to rub against anyone who allows this. It tries to get in the house so appears to have been at least partially a house cat. It looked healthy and well taken care of when it appeared. It seems to be fairing well outdoors on it's own yet still longs for the companionship of people and to come inside. It did get scratched on it's back once since arriving here but seems to have healed fine thus another indication of being healthy. Everyone who sees the cat feel drawn to it and immediately recognizes it's pretty appearance & gentle loving sweet nature. I would post a picture but do not have the ability to do this. I think the cat would make a great pet for anyone except someone whom it might be dangerous for the cat to get under their feet and cause them to fall as it does like to follow along as one walks and can get under foot.

Cat of the Week: Cookie

Hello, my name is Cookie and I am the Goathouse Cat of the Week! I came to the Goathouse in the summer of 2009 with my kittens. I was an excellent mother and all of my kittens were adopted, but I am still waiting for my chance. I am distinctive for my sassy charm and my bent tail! If you visit the Goathouse, you will be sure to see me--I enjoy staying in the refuge building and welcoming visitors!

Blackie is a approx 1 year old American shorthair - Black cat who needs a new home. Blackie weighs 6.5 lb. This cat is located in Beulaville, NC 28518.

Blackie is a short-haired, black female cat who is approx. 1 yr old. She was a stray who found her way to my home about 3 months ago. She is very friendly and affectionate. She loves to snuggle up to you in a chair or on the bed. She has never shown any signs of aggression to people or other cats - even when the other cat hissed at her. She is very sweet and loves attention. She is litter box trained and has a good appetite. She is happy to be indoors but enjoys some time outdoors as well to run and play. She has beautiful eyes and would be a great addition to any home.
Blackie is good with Cats: Yes, Dogs: Unknown, Kids: Unknown

Contact Amanda M. at 910-260-0422, a_maready@hotmail.com, 910-298-4239.

Are you the owner: yes
Reason for surrender: I need to surrender Blackie so that she may find a good permanent home. I already have a cat named Grandma who is older and not a fan of other cats, so the plan for Blackie has always been to stay with me until a permanent home is found. This is now an immediate need because my sister has been diagnosed with cancer and must have surgery and treatment which will mean being away from home for an extended period of time and I will not be able to care for Blackie any longer. I need to know Blackie is cared for so that I can take care of my sister. Please help Blackie find a home. Thank you so very much.
How did you acquire: Blackie was a stray who came to my home
How long owned: approx 3 months

Community Listing: Mrs. White

NOTE: This cat is in need from the community. This is listed as a courtesy, and the animal does not live at the Refuge. The Goathouse Refuge is not responsible for any problems with the animals or with the adoption process. Please contact the owner directly for more information.

Mrs. White is a 2 year old white, shorthair cat with a tabby patch of calico on face and tail, who needs a new home. Mrs. White weighs approx 7 lbs. This cat is located in Mebane NC 27302.

Mrs. White is one of three capture/spay/neuter/release cats that live in our neighborhood. They seem to go their separate ways in the woods behind my house during the day but I often see them if I look outside. Mrs. White is timid, will run if dogs, people come in my yard. She is content to sleep at night in a Kitty tube residence on my patio. beside the kitty tubes homes of two other cats, Sister Mary Margaret and Max Black. These cats have been ferals in the community for at least 2 summers now. They appear healthy, love to eat, drink from the birdbath even though they have water bowls. They greet me every morning at the backdoor with boundless energy and enthusiasm. They swipe against my legs as we head down the hill to their feeding spot at edge of woods. Mrs. White and her friends would love to find a home together as outdoor kitties. I will gladly be sure their shots are updated, they are healthy. Their homes can go with them. I fear neighbors that think feral cats are not special will have animal control trap them in next few wks. I hope to be able to send pictures of them this wk.that includes closeups, The one I am sending via email from my phone is a more distant shot with them heading in opposite directions as I raised my cameraphone.

Are you the owner: Cat has been in woods and neighborhood for over a year. Just began coming in my yard since Nov 2012
Reason for surrender: Mrs. White has been neutered in Chapel Hill by volunteers in the community. I have been feeding since Nov 2012. She appears healthy and loves to perch in trees. She gets along with 2 other cats, also ferals. They feed together and I have purchased 3 kitty tubes (TheKittyTube.com) that are on my patio with heating pads in each. A neighbor's dog chased a cat, not necessarily one of these and he grabbed the dog and fell. He appeared on my doorstep to expound on the evils of feral cats.
How did you acquire: They acquired me. I have 5 indoor cats so cannot bring another in to my declawed family.
How long owned: Thanksgiving 2012 is when I began feeding along with 2 other cats
