I was flown from the steamy jungles of Honduras to wintery Wilmington, North Carolina! My name is Sheena and I’m grateful to be safe after giving birth to 8 kittens in Roatán, an island off the northern coast of Honduras. I was skin and bones, doing my best to survive in extremely harsh conditions. Life in the jungles of Roatán is very hard for cats. We’re not typically sterilized and are thought of as a nuisance, leading to many cats being killed, often painfully. Thankfully, Flight Angels of Roatán transported me here to All 4 Cats and now, after lots of TLC and recovery time, I’m ready for my next journey - a forever home of my own! We Roatán cats are exotic looking with large ears, small faces, and lean jungle-climbing bodies. I am very talkative, and I really love attention, snuggling, and belly rubs. If you're interested in adopting me, please reach out to All 4 Cats by calling or texting 910-707-4372 or emailing info@all4cats.org. You may also visit www.all4cats.org to fill out an application to meet me in my foster home. I can’t wait to love you!
Sending much gratitude to Cathy of Wiggle Butts Photography for capturing my loving spirit with her camera. So many humans have helped me on this journey, and I’m hoping my forever family is next.

Hi, I’m Miranda, an adorable 5-month-old bundle of love who is looking for a forever home! My A+ personality will make you fall in love with me. I’m calm for a puppy, playful, yet chill and perfectly well-rounded People find me adorable in the way I’m observant and quietly curious about the world around me. I love to be loved and will happily soak up all the cuddles you can give. I’m social and friendly with other dogs and people, I’m crate-trained and working hard on house-training (almost there). In general, I’m easy-going and adaptable making me the perfect fit for a cozy home. As an added bonus, I’m generally quiet indoors, only speaking up when it’s time to go potty or go on outdoor adventures. With my golden fur and cute white toes, I’m like a little ray of sunshine with clouds for toes. My mom is a medium-size Cattle Dog, and dad was a smaller Yellow Lab mix. I’m fully vetted, spayed, vaccinated, and weigh around 22 pounds. If you’re looking to adopt a lifelong companion, I’m ready to bring warmth and joy into your home. P.S. - If I’ve been scooped up before you can get to adopt me, I have a lovely twin sister here, too!

I am sponsored in loving memory of Nolan, a compassionate dog lover.
My name is Mr. Wilson and I’m a very affectionate 4-year-old boy who loves going for car rides and meeting new people. I also happen to be deaf. I will rely on you to communicate with me via body language, hand signals, and even facial expressions. Because of this, our bond will be special and unique! I am great with other dogs but not cats as I find them fun to chase. I have completed a 6-week obedience course where I learned all kinds of things. I have a willingness to please and to adapt to my deafness and I’m learning new training skills. Having the handicap of being deaf does not stop me at all. I’m looking for a family who will continue my training so I can work on learning more hand signals. I’m an all-around amazing guy and would do well with an adventuresome family. I’m also neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. Adopt me and let’s create unforgettable memories together! Contact Hamilton’s Healing Hearts by email at hamiltonshealinghearts@gmail.com or give them a call at 910-271-5170 for more info on me.
I am sponsored by Christy Lee. Thank you!

HAMILTON’S HEALING HEARTS
Are you looking for a companion who’s not too small and not too big? Well, that’s me! My name is Shawna and I’m just right…right for you that is! I came all the way to NC from Louisiana (where I had run out of time at a county shelter). I was tested with other dogs and I passed. I adore everyone I meet and I’m heartworm free. I visited the dogtor where I was spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. I have a stunning coat of colors and can’t wait to show you my loving soul. If you would like more information or would like to adopt me, please call 910-271-5170 or send an email to hamiltonshealinghearts@gmail.com. ♥
My name is Jasper and I’m searching for a loving forever family. Despite living a rough life in a filthy crate (on a front porch), it hasn’t changed my perspective on humans at all. I love everyone I meet and I passed my dog test with other canines. I have already been neutered, I tested heartworm negative, and I’ve been microchipped and vaccinated. For more information or to adopt me, please call 910-271-5170 or send an email to hamiltonshealinghearts@gmail.com. ♥
Hi, my name is Pearl and I am a Pomeranian and American Eskimo mix. I am 10-years young and I would enjoy a family all to myself or one with another quiet dog companion. I have limited hearing and mobility but love walks in the yard to potty. Due to my age, I cannot be spayed so I should not be around unaltered males, but I love dogs, cats and kids! I recently had a dental so I need to eat canned foods. If you are interested in hearing more, please fill out an application at www.rescueconnectnc.com or call 910-302-7290. ♥
My name is Theo and I’m a Miniature Pinscher and Chihuahua mix. I’m around 1-year-old and was one of 40 dogs who had been dumped in the woods in Onslow County. I’m starting to come out of my shell since I’ve in a foster home. I do well with dogs and cats but would prefer a quiet home as I’m still getting used to what life is like not surviving in the woods. If you would like info or to adopt me, call 910-271-5170 or send an email to hamiltonshealinghearts@gmail.com. ♥
My name is Spice and I’m a 3-year-old dilute Tortie who does well with other cats and quiet dogs! I’m a chunky monkey who loves my blanket to sleep on.

RUFFIAN FOUNDATION
Ahoy! My name is Captain Ash
I am a grey and white tuxedo boy with a lot of purr-sonality. I am 5-years-old and would like a home of my own. My first owners declawed me so I must only be indoors. I tend to boss around other cats and would like to be the only one, but I can adjust if you're patient. I am neutered, vaccinated and litterbox-trained. Call Sharon or Barb from The Ruffian Foundation at 910-262-8890 or 910-619-7198 and let’s arrange a day to meet! ♥
CAROLINA ANIMAL PROTECTION SOCIETY
COASTAL ANIMAL RESCUE EFFORT
Hello up there! I’m a sweet Pit Bull fella named Gomez who was found abandoned on the side of the road. Starving and injured, a good Samaritan took me to a local shelter for help. Knowing I needed more than the shelter could provide, the good Samaritan reached out to CARE to see if they could help. Now, I’m thriving! I am super loving and playful. My injury, a dislocated hip, is healing and I am anxious to get to normal activities. Unfortunately, full activity will have to wait until I’ve also been treated for heartworms. I will do well in a home with people and dogs to play and snuggle with. To meet me or learn more, email carewilmington@yahoo.com or call 910-256-2624. ♥
OPERATION TOPCAT
My name is Paisley and I was first adopted in 2015 and I spent the past 9-years with my daddy. Sadly, he became seriously ill and had to go into hospice. I am a sweet girl who is getting to know my new surroundings but I’m adjusting surprisingly well. I have a mind of my own and let you know when I want to be petted or want to play in a no nonsense way. I am spayed and up to date on vaccines. My friends here think I would do great in a quiet home with maybe another pet. For information, please email capsrescue@yahoo.com, call 910-455-9682, or visit www.capsrescue.com. ♥
I’m Sable, a very sweet and loving 2-year-old boy. I love sitting by you and getting lots of attention! My fur is silky soft, and I give kitty kisses, too. I do give love bites when being petted sometimes, so a home with small children may not be ideal. I was an owner surrender and I was the only pet in the home, so I’m not sure how I’d feel about other pet friends. I previously had a urinary blockage, and received PU surgery (perineal urethrostomy), a procedure that widens a cat’s urethra to help prevent blockages, and can only eat prescription food and treats (Purina U/R). I will have to stay on my prescription diet for life (I will come with some of my prescription food as well as a prescription to get more). I will be shy and scared at first, but once I get to know you, I’m a LOVER! I was so sad to lose my home, and I’m hoping that someone will fall in love with me and give me a second chance! I’m fully vetted, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Please visit www.operationtopcatnc.org and submit an application. You may also call 910-545-9885 or email otopcatnc@gmail.com for more information. ♥

◄I’m a gentle and quiet girl who loves to be petted and given attention. Everyone tells me I am very sweet and that I’ll be a loving companion to some very lucky person or family. I arrived at the shelter as a stray and am just 2 to 3-years-old. I am spayed and up to date on vaccines and my ID number is A496306.

◄Look how much love is in my eyes! My name is Lola and I was surrendered to the county shelter by my family after 7-years because they could no longer take care of me.

I am sponsored in loving memory of Ruby, Jacob’s best friend and a very good boy.
◄My name is Odie and I’m a big, docile sweetie who loves pets. I can be a little shy and skittish at first, but once I warm up, I will come right up to you when you walk in the room and chat you up with my high-pitched meows. I love playing with toys, especially my favorite mousie, but I really enjoy relaxing, too. I get along with people and calm, older kids. I’d do best in a quieter home, as an only pet or with other friendly and calmer cats. I haven’t met a dog, but as long as they are calmer, I think I’d be fine since I’m pretty chill. I am 5-years-old and FIV+. Just so you know, cats with FIV live long healthy lives, just a little more prone to some infections. It’s not easy to transmit FIV, so FIV and non-FIV cats can live together. Message for a meet up. ♥
◄My name is Lester T and I am an old soul inside a young body. I am 2-years-old and love to chill out, but sometimes I can’t get enough of my fishing pole. That little white area on my nose is the perfect “boop” spot, and it makes my foster happy so I’m ok with it. I enjoy getting pets all over and scratches on my cheek. I will snuggle right into your lap once I know you. With a proper introduction, I get along with other cats. I am FIV+, but it’s not affecting my health at this time. FIV is not cat HIV, and I have a normal life expectancy and can be around non-FIV cats. Message us today if you're interested in hanging out and getting to know me. ♥
Adoption Fairs

►Hi, my name is Amber Rose!
◄Hi! I’m Biggie Smalls and I am a big boy indeed weighing in at 15 pounds. I am 4-years-old and extremely affectionate and playful. I am the type of cat who will never leave your side and I’ll always accept love and attention. If you work from home, get used to me being on your Zoom and Teams calls. I can wear a tie if you prefer. I love cuddling and will sleep next to you at night. I am very playful and when I get really excited, I play hard so I would do well with older and well-behaved children. I get along very well with other cats, and did I mention I love people? Message us today to meet me! ♥
►My name is Ferrari I’m 8-years-old and was found outside. I’m a little shy and slow to trust because I’ve had a rough go of it lately. I was neglected and abused. When I came to All 4 Cats, I needed a full mouth extraction, so I have no teeth. I also suffered an injury where my collar was embedded in my underarm because I was on my own and got so scared and tried to get out of it. Thankfully, I am all better now and ready for a new family. Once I know I can trust you, I am a Lap Cat who just wants cuddles. I’m extremely sweet and I promise your patience will be worth it. Can you show me how to be part of a family again? I get scared at adoption events, so please message us to schedule a meeting in my foster home. ♥
I’m a beautiful 8-month-old kitten with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I'm shy at first, but once we get to know each other, I'll follow you around, constantly wanting pets and affection. I'm very loving with my people and with other cats. And did I mention that I love dogs! I'm very curious and playful, especially with my turbo scratcher. Message us or fill out an application online to meet me! ♥
►My name is Milk Dud and I am an energetic boy who’s super fun to play with. I love it when you drag a ball on a string or have a laser to chase. When I’m not playing, I love to cuddle with you or lay wherever you’re working or sitting. I may be a little shy at first, but will blossom into your best pal! I would prefer a home with no other cats. If you’re interested in adopting, reach out to set up an appointment as I do not attend adoption events. ♥
Meow! My name is Boots (short-hair) and my brother is Remi (long-hair) and we live in Wilmington, NC. We are 7-month-old male tuxedo kittens ready for adoption. We are somewhat shy but definitely bonded and love to play with toys and with each other. We are very healthy, sweet, curious and adorable. We have received updated immunizations, been neutered, dewormed, and had flea treatments. We would really prefer to be placed together in a forever home so we can have an easier transition in our new environment. Small children make us nervous but we are ok with a friendly dog. If possible, we would like to be the only felines in the home. Our foster parents can be contacted if you have any questions. Please call Diane at 606-923-4639 and Shelley at 606-232-1192.

Walk.
My name is Lady. I am 3-years-old, 50 pounds, spayed, vaccinated and good with other dogs. I enjoy hanging outside when it's not too hot and taking walks with people. As you can see, when it's time to relax, I love to snuggle. As you can also see, I enjoy playing with stuffed toys. I am house-trained and crate-trained but loud noises and too much ruckus makes me nervous. So, I would do best in a home with no young children under 13. I need someone patient to work with me on leash-training since I love to chase critters on our walks. My perfect family will give me time to get used to my surroundings and will have patience with me as I learn to
Snuggle. Play.

Let’s get the New Year started off right! ♥
◄I’m Peanut, a sweet and loveable Boxer mix boy who lost my home when my owners moved away to care for aging parents. Circumstances sadly didn’t allow them to take me along.

The joy I’ll bring to my new home is boundless, so please visit soon! ♥

Hi, I’m named Dylan after the legendary Bob Dylan because I've got the heart and spirit of a “deep thinker”. Plus, I know what it’s like to be a rolling stone, moving from place to place, searching for my true home. I was found in pretty rough shape, lying in a bed of flowers, weak, dehydrated, and struggling with a bad abscess and terrible teeth. After receiving the love and care I needed, I've earned a clean bill of health, and I'm feeling better than ever. I may have had a tough start, but I’m all about second chances. I’m ready to find a home where I can settle in and share all the love I’ve been saving up. I am around 8-years-old, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and on flea prevention. I’m a calm, introspective guy with an independent spirit, but I do love when I get attention. If you’re looking for a companion who’ll join you in the quiet moments, curl up with you on cozy nights, or serenade you with purrs while you work, then I’m your guy. If you’re ready to give me a place to call home, I promise I’ll give you a bond that’s just as deep as a timeless song. So, what do you say? Let’s write our own tune together. My Likes: Lounging in sunbeams and watching the world go by, Slowly getting to know new people, Chasing rolling toys and laser pointers, Playing with and snuggling my foster brothers, Quiet, peaceful moments with a person who gets me. My Dislikes: Sudden loud noises (they harsh my vibe), Being rushed, Being manhandled or picked up (feet on the ground, please). For info or to adopt me, please email Kitty Pawtrol at kittypawtrol@yahoo.com, call 812-598-0130 or visit us online at www.kittypawtrol.org.
I am sponsored by Greenwood Pet Camp in loving memory of Duke.
I’m a handsome Pit Bull boy who arrived at the shelter as a stray, but nobody has come here looking for me.
It’s quite a mystery to everyone because I have such an outgoing personality, I'm always happy to see everyone, I love any toy that I have been given, I’m full of energy, very food motivated, and I love to get as much attention as I possibly can. In short, I’m a perfect family dog in need of a family! My ID number is A496264 and I’m 2-years-old, already neutered and vaccinated. Please come get to know me at New Hanover Sheriff’s Office Animal Services Unit in Wilmington. Adoption hours are Monday - Friday from 11am to 3:30pm and on Saturday from 8am to 11:30am. For more info, call 910-798-7500.

Well, I am now on my own at 7-months-old and growing like a weed! It takes me some time to warm up to new friends but, once I do, you will see I am as sweet as my name! If you are ready to add a new furry friend to your home, I believe I would be a great fit! Come over to Paws Place and let’s get acquainted. ♥
Hi, my sister and I thought we would let everyone know that each of us are still waiting for our forever homes. You see, our litter was found on the side of the road, without our mom and starving at only 2-weeks-old. All 5 of us huddled together to stay warm and help each other not be so scared. Then someone came and scooped all of us up and got us to a municipal shelter. We were scared but happy to still be together and enjoy some food. Then the people from FBAR said they would help us and we got hope again that we would be ok. Well, then we got something called Parvo and were pretty sick BUT this really nice lady Silvia helped all of us. Now we are all better and in foster homes. Our sisters, Zoey, Alexis and Sybil all found their forever homes, but we're still waiting. We talk all the time about how we don't know why no one wants us. We're just puppies and we don't know what we are doing wrong. Why won’t someone let us come live with them? Our foster moms tell us that it's not us and that the perfect family will come for each of us when it's right. We really want to believe them, but we just don't know. We're each waiting for that special someone to choose each of us. We sure hope it's soon.

My name is Star and I am ready to be your BFF! I’d describe myself as a very good girlie. I’m lowmaintenance, I love all the people and kids I’ve met, and I’m a snuggler. Did you know dog cuddles have been scientifically proven to improve your health? You’ll most likely live to be 100 if you adopt me. For real! I may like to sneak in some occasional smoochies, too. I’m a good girl though and if you don't enjoy the smoochies, you can tell me and I will listen. Oh, I walk well on a leash too, and I’m house-trained and crate-trained. Currently I’m besties with one of my foster mom’s dogs and we play all the time. Visit www.theunforgottensouls.com and click on ‘Adopt’ or email theunforgottensouls@gmail.com for more info.

◄At 2-years-old, I’m a handsome chocolate/ brown/white Tabby boy named Cleveland. I have the cutest personality and silliest antics! Right before this picture was taken, I slid into the room for some chin scratches, then jumped around and landed perfectly for this shot. After the best picture ever, I flopped down and rolled over for belly rubs. I have the softest, fluffiest belly, too! I’m a really curious and social fellow. Please call or text 910-599-2755 and ask to hear more of my life story. I’m such a great boy! ♥

◄I’m Blake, a 4-month-old black and white baby girl with the most gorgeous white whiskers. I do need a warm lap and lots of pets and kisses, but otherwise I wash my own socks and keep them as white as can be. I also lick my food bowl clean. How is that for a low-maintenance girl? I get along great with children, cats and dogs, and I’m just the perfect little bundle of joy to make your new year as bright as can be. To meet me, please call or text Cat Adoption Team at 910-599-2755. Please consider adopting me with another kitten pal also featured in this issue. ♥

TIGGER
My name is Tigger and my irresponsible owner abandoned me and left me outside to fend for myself. Luckily, a good Samaritan found me and scooped me up and I’m now being fostered in a cozy home. I’m a real sweetheart through and through! While I am currently safe, I need immediate adoption. My good-hearted foster parent cannot keep me much longer. Don’t you want to love a beautiful orange Tabby boy who just wants your love? You can tell by just looking at my face that I’m all about getting attention. My age is estimated to be between 3 to 4-years-old, I’m fully vetted, neutered and vaccinated so I’m ready to go home with you today!

We’re super sweet and ready to be adopted. Our fur is extremely soft and we’re friendly companions, although we may be a teensy bit shy at first meeting. Our ideal home would be one that would keep us together. We have been to the vet and have been spayed and vaccinated. If you are not ready to adopt a kitty or two, please consider fostering or sponsoring.
VOLUNTEER: There are lots of ways to help our cause, from raising awareness about spaying/neutering, to helping with fundraisers or simply volunteering time to care for the kitties!

Hello, my name is Jerry Garcia and I am around 2-years-old. I am the biggest lover and just enjoy laying around either on your lap, next to you, or in your arms while I purr away. I enjoy getting kisses and pets. I am learning how to play with toys, which is quite fun and funny for my foster to watch. I may be a big boy but I am a gentle biscuit maker. I can be a little shy in the beginning and I don't like loud, sudden noises. I would love to find my forever home soon. Could it be with you? I have already been neutered, dewormed and vaccinated and I’m on flea prevention.

FREEDOM GERMAN SHEPHERD RESCUE
I’m Petunia or as I like to think of myself, Queen Petunia - because let’s face it, I’m fabulous. Petunias are beautiful, charming flowers, and honestly, that’s me! Sweet, chunky, and absolutely irresistible. Even the shelter thought so! They wrote on my intake papers that I was “too fluffy and chunky to check” if I was spayed. Can you imagine? I made my mark on them before I even had the chance to flash my big personality. Now, let me tell you about my favorite things: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks… you get the idea. Mealtime is the highlight of my day, and you’ll know it from the way I sing for my supper. But after I’ve enjoyed my meal, I’m all about the chill life. A little time in the play yard is fun, sure, but I’d much rather lounge around, soak up the quiet, and dream about my next snack. I’m a bit of an independent lady. Give me a Kong toy or a treat, and I’ll happily entertain myself while you’re at work. But don’t think I’m all business - I’m also full of sass, goofiness, and charm. I know how to make you laugh, and I’ll never let you forget that you’re sharing your home with a queen. Underneath my sass is a soft, sweet girl with an old soul who just wants to be adored. So, are you ready for me? If you’re looking for a big, beautiful, 4-year-old girl with personality for days, I’m here waiting for you. My team transports all over the U.S., so my new home could be anywhere (except Hawaii or Alaska). Visit www.huskyhalfwayhouse.org/adopt and fill out an application.

SCHNAUZER RESCUE OF THE CAROLINAS
Hello! My name is Patio and I’m a 14 pound mini-Schnauzer boy who was found wandering around an apartment complex with no one to claim me. I ended up in a shelter but, luckily for me, they contacted Schnauzer Rescue of the Carolinas. I am being fostered by a great couple who has shown me much love and affection. As for my age, my friends think I am about 5 to 6-years-old. I am neutered and very sweet, but I prefer not to be picked up until you have gained my trust. It’s thought I may have seen some “ruff” times in my past. If you’re interested in loving me and giving me a home, please visit www.schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org, email adoptions@schnauzerrescueofthecarolinas.org or call 919-723-7145 for an adoption application. ♥
Are you looking for a new best friend? My name is Avee and I am ready to be yours! I'm an approximately 3-year-old, 55 pound German Shepherd mix. I put my heart into everything that I do. I have a lower energy level, and honestly just enjoy spending time with my person. I'm a great companion, if I do say so myself. Whether you want to relax in bed, watch TV, or go on a walk; I am down for whatever, as long as my human is involved! Because I love my people so much, a fence is recommended but not required. I am house-trained and know to go to the back door when I need to potty. I do great in a crate but can be trusted to free-roam in the house as I am not destructive. I do well with other dogs, but need slower and proper introductions, when going into a new home. Patience and decompression is important for me when meeting other dogs. I did well on my cat test at the shelter but I do not currently live with a cat. I am also obedience-trained and very eager to please. I love stuffed animals and welcome all the belly rubs. My foster home is located near Wilmington. If I could be a member of your family, complete an application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org and an adoption coordinator will be assigned to you. Call 919-670-5905 or email info@freedomgsrescue.org for additional info. ♥
My name is Gracie but my foster mom calls me Gracie Lou Who or Lil' Mama. I'm a 48 pound, 5-year-old German Shepherd mix looking for my forever home. I am house-trained and crate-trained and love to snuggle. At bed time, I sleep on the bed with my foster mom and would love a forever home where I could continue to do so. I love to be petted and will lay on top of you and put my face in yours when you stop. Because my favorite place to be is with my people, I do not require a fenced in yard. While I love to play with my fur foster brother, I prefer to be the only female dog in the house. I ignore female dogs in social settings but would prefer that they not try to interact with me. I have not met any cats so I do not know how I feel about them. I like children but think I would do best in a home with older ones because I might knock littles over. I am very food and treat motivated and will be best friends with anyone who feeds me. All of my foster mom's friends say that I'm just so sweet. If you are interested in being my lifelong cuddle buddy, complete an application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org and an adoption coordinator will be assigned to you. I am being fostered near Fayetteville. For more info, call 919-670-5905 or send an email to info@freedomgsrescue.org. ♥
◄My name is Beau and a nice person found me wandering on the streets. She tried to find my owners, but no one came for me. Now I have peeps helping me find my new forever home!
I am a youngin' at about 1-year of age. I LOVE to play so a furry sister would be awesome! I need a little space to do my zoomies and play, so a fence is really important. I love everyone and just want someone to love me back. I am heartworm negative but I need to gain a little weight. You can foster me until I have my neuter surgery and then we can finalize my adoption. Right now, I'm hangin' with my three foster siblings and my foster Papa. I sure do love them but can't wait to find my very own home. Maybe that's you? ♥
◄Hi, it's me Mocha. Thought I would introduce myself now that I am feeling better. I'm a little gal who had painful cherry eyes. My owner left me at her apartment and I kept waiting for her to come get me, but she didn't. When someone finally found me, they called her and she said she didn't want me anymore. My little heart broke - I didn't know what I did to deserve that. I'm now with my foster mom and lotsa' furry foster siblings. My eyes are all fixed and my heart is healing slowly. I think it's time for me to forgive my Mama for leaving me and find a new forever family. I'm a little girl in a big world, so I need someone who will be patient and let me come to trust you. I sure would like to meet you and maybe together we can become best buds! ♥
►Hi, my name is Wallen and I am still waiting for my furever home and I don't know why? Doesn't anyone want to give me a chance? I promise to love you! You see, I came from a not-so-good situation and that makes me sad but I LOVE my foster parents and siblings. I know I am a bully breed but I am no bully! Once I trust you, I will love you forever. And honestly, just a few treats and I'm yours! I am learning manners with a really cool guy named Jeff. He says I am a good boy. My doggie doctor said I am healthy and have no little wormy things in my heart. I'm neutered, microchipped, and on heartworm prevention. Sometimes I get itchy skin, but my foster family gives me some medicine so it gets all better really quick. Well, enough about me - What ya think? Maybe you want to meet me? I hope so. ♥
►My name is Pauline I am an older gal (about 8-years-old) and I found myself in a municipal shelter. Some cool peeps came to my rescue. I am heartworm negative, and my doggy doctor thought I was pretty healthy. I have some skin issues but my peeps are helping me with that. I gotta get spayed but I can go to my forever home as pre-adopted. I love my furry foster sibling and think I am pretty darn cute. I’d love to find a lap to hang out on and have peace of mind that no one is going to hurt me anymore. Is that you? ♥
►Are you looking for a dignified, regal gal who has seen a lot in her life? Well, look no further - that gal is me, Gigi! I can't see or hear too well but I still have so much love to give. Us older gals come with a lot of life's teachings and know that the best things in life are human laps and a warm bed, neither of which I've had for a long time. I hope you can see past my poor eyesight and that I can't hear so well, and see that I really am a gal who loves with all my heart. I don’t want to be forgotten in my twilight years. I'm a little dainty gal and my doggy doctor gave me the A-ok for my health, which made me very happy. I love my foster mom and all my foster furry siblings, but I sure would like to find my very own forever lap to lay on. ♥
◄My name is Oreo and I'm sweetness all rolled up into America's favorite cookie! I'm about 3-years-old and ready for my new forever home. Right now, I'm hanging out with my foster mom who I love because she always tells me I'm such a good girl and so pretty. I love doing zoomies so a place where I can run and have fun is important to me. I would love a furry brother who likes to play hard, just like me. I don't mean to sound picky, but a lady wants what a lady wants! My doggy doctor said I'm a super healthy gal and very svelte at 50 pounds. If you want a happy gal who will love you with all her heart - I'm waiting with my paws crossed. ♥

◄I’m Seahawk, a large neutered male kitty who is mostly white with some brown Tabby markings. I was found wandering around the UNCW campus (hence my name) and was turned in to Animal Services. No owner has come forward to claim me so I am now with Friends of Felines and available for adoption. I have lots of energy and get along well with other cats. I thrive on attention and love being in the company of people. My vibrant personality and affectionate nature make me a wonderful companion. ♥
▲I’m Polly Paws, an elegant older adult cat with a stunning, thick coat of fur that showcases my timeless beauty. Despite my slightly timid nature, I have a heart full of love and a strong desire for attention. It may take a little time for me to warm up, but once I do, I’m a devoted and affectionate companion. I enjoy the gentle company of those who understand my shy demeanor and who can provide me with the comfort and reassurance I need. If you're looking for a loving, loyal friend who will appreciate your kindness and patience, I’ll be the perfect addition to your home. I came to Friends of Felines with infected paws, hence the name Polly Paws. I also had a lot of bad teeth but I’ve had a full dental with several teeth being pulled. At 6 to 7-years of age, I’m in good health. Since I had a rough life of living outside trying to survive, I would be content in a quiet home with a lap to crawl up on. ♥
◄My name is Captain Morgan and I’m a sweet one-eyed boy who doesn’t let anything get me down. I love to play and snuggle just as much as any other kitten. I am quite large for my age and my fosters expect me to be a gentle giant as I grow up. I’m incredibly sweet with my foster siblings and I play with little 2 pound kittens so carefully and patiently. Because I'm missing one eye from a bad infection as a baby, I do spook a little easier when I don’t see things coming, but as soon as I know you’re there, I welcome all the pets and scritches and will even roll over for belly rubs! I don’t expect my good eye to have any long-term issues either. If you want an excellent cuddler, I will sleep by your side every night, or on your ankles (my preferred spot). I am neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, litterbox-trained, and ready to go! ♥
►My name is Jax and I’m a cute white mittened, super chill boy who just loves to hang out in the sun in a hammock or by your side. I’m funny and love to lay on my back and roll around. I have a laid back personality, I’m very quiet and I love sniffing new things. I also love treats, springy toys and catching flies! My sister, Cleo, is a beautifully striped, sweet little girl who wants all the pets. She is very loveable, agile and outgoing. She likes to sit on your lap if you’re working or she just wants to hang out with you where ever you are. She loves treats, has the cutest meow and loves her mouse toys and chasing flies. We are a super loving and cuddly brother and sister bonded pair. I mean, just look at us cuddled up together! Our aproximate date of birth is October 10, 2022, so we are just over 2-years-old. We are the sweetest, happiest and most loveable cats. There’s not a mean bone in our bodies. We love to play, chill in the sun, cuddle with you all the time - especially at night in bed. We are very outgoing, curious and not timid or skittish at all. No bad habits, we just want love, affection and food. We are great with people, dogs and other cats. We are really hoping to be adopted together since we are bonded and have never been separated from each other. ♥
Hello! We are a sister and brother pair named Twizzler and Malcolm, just 3-years-old and super-loving as well as playful! We are a bonded pair so we must be adopted together. That’s me, Twizzler, the girl, on top. Malcolm and I both have a genetic eye condition that makes one of our eyes a bit cloudy, but it does not affect our quality of life or ability to bring joy to your home. Come meet us today,
please. You will find us at Southport Oak Island Animal Rescue (SOAR). Adoption hours are from 8am to Noon on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday (closed on Thursday and Sunday). If you have any questions, please call SOAR at 910-457-6340.
We are sponsored by SOAR in loving memory of all their wonderful, furry friends who made it safely to the Rainbow Bridge.
Hi there! I'm “Big Fluffy Hugs” (but you can just call me Oso)! At 3-years-old, I’m a Great Pyrenees mix boy weighing in at a solid 71 pounds of love and fluff. Yes, I’m heartworm positive, but don’t worry - I'm getting the treatment I need and I’m staying strong through it all. I’m determined to keep my spirits high and share all my hugs with you! I know how to sit (I’m a good listener, promise!) and I’ve perfected the art of giving the best bear hugs - just ask anyone who’s met me. I’m a big, soft guy with a gentle heart, and I’m looking for a forever friend who’s ready to help me finish my treatment and give me a lifetime of love. Let’s make some memories together - I’ll be here at Paws Place, wagging my tail and waiting for those hugs! Visiting hours are on Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 2pm, and no appointment is necessary! You can also call 910-845-7297 or email info@pawsplace.org with any questions.
I am sponsored in loving memory of Hula, who lives on in the hearts of her family members forever.

◄My name is Bug and everyone says that I’m really cute. I’m 4-months-old and I’m ready for a real home of my own as long as there aren’t any dogs around. I’m black and white and I keep myself very neat and clean. Also, I’m a Manx mix – my tail is only an inch or two long, just long enough to tell you what kind of a mood I’m in. Let’s meet! ♥
▲Happy New Year! We are four beautiful, gray and white sisters who came to Cat Tails from the Beaufort County Shelter. They had more kittens than they had adopters so we came to live at Cat Tails. Now we’re 3-months-old and big enough to start looking for homes of our own. We will pack a bag of food and our favorite toys and be ready to go! Just ask for Fanny, Fran, Fig or Flower! ♥
◄My name is Jitterbug. I’m a 9-month-old, black and white kitten. With a name like Jitterbug, you would think that I would be wild and crazy, jumping all over the place and acting like a clown. Actually, I was bottle raised since I was one day old and I know how to behave in a home. I’d be a good pet for any family. ♥
▲You have probably heard of tortitude - that attitude that some Tortoiseshell cats seem to have, right? Then imagine what my life has been like growing up with four Tortie sisters! I’m Kiwi, the black and white one. My sisters, Kiki and Kelli, are Torties and my sisters, Kali and Kira, are pastel Torties. My New Years wish is that my sisters find new homes of their own. Everyone thought I was being so altruistic that I feel a little guilty. ♥
▲I’m Dixon (left) and this is my brother Dasher (right). We were born in September just before Hurricane Helene came roaring through North Carolina. When the storm started, it flooded all of our mother’s usual hiding places so she moved us under a house. Soon, that flooded too but the homeowner gave us a warm, dry place to stay until we were old enough to go to Cat Tails. Now we’re looking for a couple of permanent homes. Maybe yours? ♥

We are so amazing, we’re really friendly and we’ve become Official Door Greeters here at FURR.
We can provide you with tons of fun every day. We enjoy play time and with lots of room to run all over the house, we will entertain you. We are silly siblings who love life. At 1½-years of age, we will be the best kitties you've ever had for many years to come. We love new challenges, chasing toys, playing with kids and talking all about it. We are fully vetted, microchipped and ready to go. Why don't you come play with us and see what we have to offer. Check out videos of us at www.catfurr.org.

►My name is Mandy. I'm 2-years-old, and I’m spayed, dewormed and have been treated for fleas. I am a dainty, orange female which is a RARE FIND! Did you know that most orange cats are boys? I'm definitely what you'd call a "Cat's Cat". I will thrive with a companion cat (male or female). I'm submissive and will not have any behavior issues. My foster home has a submissive adult male and female and I play with both of them. So if you're looking for a companion for your cat - I'm that cat! I'm friendly, loving and affectionate and very playful at times. I might be a little shy and timid at first, but as soon as I trust you, I will make a great addition to just about any home. I have never been around children or dogs, so that's unknown. If you are interested in adopting me, text Melinda with Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-471-6909. ♥
◄My name is Yara. I am the cutest, round pudgy thing you will ever come across. I am soft and plush with an adorable sense of humor. I am a loving girl who will let you pet me until I decide I have had enough and then I just might give you a little bit of ‘CATitude’. I don't think I am a cat so I don't want to live with one either. You might say I am a little bit of a diva. If you are a cat person, you will LOVE me and my personality. You can find me at PetSense in Leland to adopt or you can call Sherry at 910-523-1254 to meet me. ♥
►My name is Dunkin.' I am a 6-month-old boy. I am as sweet as the doughnuts I am named after. I promise to be right by your side and right in the middle of anything you're doing - like the decorations my foster family was getting ready to put up! It would be good for me to have a funloving cat or dog at home, too. I am a great playmate and exercise partner. Come meet me at Pet Supermarket on Oleander Drive in Wilmington or please call Donna at 910-508-5518 with questions about me. ♥
▲IDENTICAL TWINS! I am Karma (pictured on the left). I was rescued from an abandoned building along with my brother, Quiver. We are a bonded 4 to 5-month-old pair of beautiful classic Tabbies. We're shy at first and will need a patient home to help us feel safe. We get along well with other cats but dogs and small kids are not our favorites. Meet me and Quiver at Petsense at 1215 West Gate Drive in Leland or call Sherry at 910-523-1254 to adopt. ♥
►My name is Milo and I am a 6-year-old Shepherd mix who weighs about 50 pounds. I am still a pretty jolly guy and can be playful. I am good with dogs and cats, but need to be with teenage children or older. I need a fenced in yard and would love to find someone who knows my breed. I am house-trained, neutered, vaccinated and really loveable. Please call Jill at 910-620-3783 if you’d like to meet me. ♥
◄BULL TERRIER MIX ALERT! My name is Roscoe. Did you notice my one blue eye? I am UNIQUE! I am a happy, sweet, affectionate boy with a wonderful temperament. I am good with cats, kids, dogs. Here I am with a cat who I just met today. I am so gentle and full of life and fun. I am a big puppy and I love to play and get into things. I absolutely love water! Are you looking for a water dog? I am about 50 pounds, am house-trained and have good house manners. I was returned for digging out of my fenced in yard so a yard is not recommended unless you can be in it with me. I am an active boy who will need exercise so if you run or are active, I am perfect for you. Call Jill at 910-620-3783 or come to Petco on Saturdays to adopt. ♥
My name is Autumn and I'm the funniest, silliest, shiniest, friendliest, most talkative cat you have ever seen. I am truly one in a million! I'm only about 1-year-old and everyone at FURR loves me. Please stop on by our website at www.catfurr.org to see videos of me. To adopt me, text Feline Urgent Rescue and Rehab at 864-483-2444 or send an email to adoptafurrcat@gmail.com. Sponsored in loving memory of Roxy.
Thundering Paws Pet Adoption
►My name is Precious! I’m a 1½-year-old, affectionate, mediumhaired Calico who loves to make biscuits and make you feel cherished. I like to follow you around and give you head rubs and kisses. I am spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and enjoy being held. Even though I’m tiny at just 6 pounds, I’m a confident kitty who will bring my forever family lots of love. Could I be your faithful companion? ♥
▲Hi, I’m Vinny (pictured on the left) and this is my sister, Sylvia (pictured on floral carpet). We are 8½-month-old Tabby siblings. I’m extremely affectionate and love to be with humans. I’m not shy at all and even the vacuum cleaner doesn’t spook me! Sylvia is also very friendly and playful. She loves a good laser pointer play session. She can be shy at first but warms up with time. She’d love to have a kitty buddy if adopted separately from me. We both get along with kittens and adult cats! We are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, negative for FeLV/FIV and on flea prevention. Please contact Thundering Paws to meet or adopt us. ♥
◄Hi Tabby Lovers! My name is Athena and I’m a 1-year-old who is super friendly. I love to stand up on my back legs for pets and kisses and I love being close to you. I had kittens and while I loved them dearly, I don’t care to be a mom again so they’ve all found loving homes and I’ve been spayed. I’m vaccinated and negative for FeLV/FIV. I am an affectionate and beautiful girl who loves to rub on you and give head bumps. I hope to find my home so I can spend forever with my furever family. I will make a wonderful companion! ♥
►I’m so tired of being overlooked so I’m wearing this Zorro mustache and Indiana Jones hat to try and get your attention. Did it work? I sure hope so. While I’m no daredevil archaeologist, I would really dig being your new best friend. My name is Clyde and I am 2-years-old. I enjoy the simple pleasures in life: cardboard boxes, long conversations, cuddles, belly rubs and being petted. I can make biscuits anywhere! I purr super loud when you pet or hold me. I get along very well with cats of all ages and love to hang out with cat buddies. I have already been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested FIV/FeLV negative. I’m ready to bring lots of fun and joy to my forever home! ♥
▲We’re the fantastic four superhero kitties - two pairs of brothers and sisters. Our birthday is October 13, 2024. We’ve had our vet checkup, tested negative for FeLV/FIV, received two rounds of FVRCP and our 1st Feline Leukemia shots, and two rounds of deworming. Our spay/neuter appointments have been scheduled. I’m the handsome longhaired boy named Jasper. I love to play and enjoy getting combed so my coat stays beautiful. My brother, Benny, is the easy-going one who lives to hangout with everyone. Our sister, Barbie, is super playful and the biggest sibling weighing in at 2 pounds. Our other sister, Lovie, is the smallest at 1 pound. She loves cuddles and attention. ♥
DREAM DOG ALERT!
My name is Candie and I am a well-behaved, house-trained, and affectionate dog whose goofy personality will always put a smile on your face. I am always ready to match your mood whether you're looking for a quiet day or an adventure. I do have some allergies but with the right food and medicine, I always thrive. I absolutely love visits to dog parks and I am wonderful with making new friends whenever I am given the opportunity! I love bones of any kind, squeaking toys (though they always meet their end quite fast), and enrichment activities. I am very smart and know many tricks including sit, stay, shake, stand and lay down and I am working very hard to master roll over. I thrive when people are present and able to give me lots of cuddles and attention. I am about 2-years of age and weigh around 50 pounds. I do well with dogs and kids but I have not been checked around cats yet. Please call Jill with Adopt-An-ANGEL at 910-620-3783 if you’d like to adopt me.

My name is Ink but I like Drake better. I'm about 1-year-old and already have had some disappointments in life. First, I was picked up as a stray and my people didn't come get me. The shelter made me very nervous and sad, but I got adopted! I was sooooo happy to have my very own family again. But then, I guess I liked to wiggle butt too much and play with their little human, so they brought me back. I was a really good boy, but just a little too much for their little one and kept knocking her over. I didn't mean to - I was just playing. So I was back to not having a family again. No other adopters were interested in me and I ran out of time. Even though I didn't do anything bad, there just wasn't any more space. Luckily, FBAR sprung me out! They brought me to a cool foster home and I’m just lovin' life. I do like to play hard but I also like to nap hard. Pretty good balance, I think. My doggy doctor said I was good to go. I have no wormy things in my heart, got a microchip, got neutered and got all my shots. So now, I'm just waiting for my forever people. I love to do zoomies so a fence would be super cool. I am learning manners and I really want to be a good boy so I will try very hard. I wouldn't mind a furry sister but I'm cool if I'm the only pup in the house.

▲How did a handsome family cat like me end up at a shelter? I’m Rascal (A047565), a neutered Orange Tabby just 2-years-old, and I long to be a family member. Please adopt me and let’s have a Happy New Year! ♥
►I’m a super-sweet girl named Carrie (A057733) who lost my home through no fault of my own. My family said I am a great dog and was sorry they couldn’t keep me. I hope my luck changes with the New Year and that I’ll soon be in a loving home. I’m a spayed Hound girl, petite in size, 3-years-old. ♥
◄Playful and friendly and very handsome - that’s me in a nutshell! I’m Beau (A058643), a 2-year-old Shepherd mix boy who would love to be part of an active family. I’ll be right by your side as we enjoy all that life has to offer. I’d love a fenced yard to play in (preferably higher than 4 feet as I can be a bit of a bouncy boy). I’m already neutered and tested negative for heartworms, yay! Come meet me - let’s see if we’re a good fit! ♥
◄Hello! Kitcat (A058272) is my name and I’m a beautiful Tabby girl who would love to be part of a happy family. I’ve been at the shelter since October 2024 so it’s definitely high time that I was adopted! Please come get to know me - I’d love to meet you! ♥
►I’m a mediumhaired darling named Biggie (A058263) and I’ve been waiting for a home since October 8. Wonder why a sweetheart like me is still dreaming of a family? I hope the New Year begins with me cuddling up at home with you, watching the ball drop in New York City on television. Make my dream come true! ♥
ADOPTION FEES HAVE BEEN PAID FOR DOGS PICTURED HERE!
◄Oh boy, oh boy, I’m ready to go home with you! I’m sweet Rocky (A058598) and I’m an endearing 1-year-old Terrier mix who just wants to play, give kisses, get hugs and enjoy life! I’ll make you so happy and will be your best bud in this whole wide world. Let’s go! ♥

FURR STILL NEEDS HELPERS: It’s Playtime at FURR’s Kitty Happy Hour
Every morning and afternoon (flexible), you are invited to come enjoy some playtime with the kitties at Feline Urgent Rescue and Rehab (FURR) at its Hampstead location. Just a few hours once or twice a week can help newly rescued felines see life differently. Helping them learn to trust, love and get ready for adoption not only mends their hearts but yours, too! Volunteers must be 18 years or older, have a car, love cats, be reference checked and dependable!

Enjoy Driving? Transport a Furry Friend!
RescueConnect is looking for transporters! Animals in their care need rides for a variety of reasons: to pick an animal up from a shelter where they have been pulled, to take them from foster homes to vet appointments, and to take them to partner groups for adoption. All you need is a secure vehicle and a desire to help! Drivers are needed that can help with both local transport and longer trips. If you would like to volunteer, visit www.rescueconnectnc.com, put your cursor over ‘Volunteer’ and then click on ‘Transport’. You can also call 910-302-7290 for more information.
Aren't I just the most handsome kitty ever?
I’m Kashmir, a Ragdoll boy who is 12-year-old, neutered, vaccinated and litterbox-trained. I once lived the good life... travel, adventure and a loving home with my human parents. But things changed, they split up and now I find myself at a rescue. I am a little bewildered, sometimes grumpy. I'm learning to trust again and I am ok with other cats, but I need an experienced and patient new human to love me. Will you give me a chance and mend my broken heart? Call Sharon or Barb from The Ruffian Foundation at 910-262-8890 or 910-619-7198 and let’s arrange a get-together. Who knows, we may be a perfect match!

►I'm going to start off saying - my name is Grace and I have a problem. The problem is that I am not allowed to live in a lot of places. Why? Because I am so majestic! Seriously, I am a Malamute/ Husky/Grey Wolf mix. I need a place that I can hang out and not get in trouble for being there. My foster mom and I have a great relationship. I'm a real sweetie and I love kids. I am current on my vaccinations, spayed, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. I've been in rescue going on 3-years! Don’t get me wrong, I love my foster mama so much but I need to have a family of my own. I prefer a home with kids because I love when they lay down with me on the floor and watch TV. I don't care to hang out with other dogs and I certainly don't like cats. But, if you really want me to ‘grace’ you with my presence (see what I did there), we need to make sure I'm allowed in your county and that you are familiar with my breed. So, who's ready for a big girl like me? If you’re interested in meeting me, please contact my foster mom and she will find out if I am allowed to live in your county. Please contact my foster mom by emailing roseysweezers7@aol.com. ♥
◄BOOP, my name is Hope! I am a sweet, rambunctious girl who loves treats and toys and I love to give hugs. A nice couple found me on the side of the road and helped me get healthy. My foster mom has had me for almost a year. I love her for taking such good care of me, but I'm really looking for someone who can play with me and maybe even take me places. I love to go for rides in the car, as long as it’s not to the vet. I'm approximately 3-years-old, vaccinated, spayed, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. I'm a Treeing Walker Hound so I have a big voice and I’m not afraid to use it. Are you looking for a loving friend with energy? I'm your girl! Make sure you have plenty of stuffed toys for me to rip up because that’s my second favorite thing after riding in the car. If you would like to meet me and see if I’d be a good fit for your family, contact my foster mom by emailing roseysweezers7@aol.com. ♥
◄Well, I'm not El Chapo but you can call me El Chaco. I am my brother's keeper (he’s pictured below). When our dad passed away, I knew that it would forever be my job to watch over my brother, Wolfie. Truth is, I get a little nervous when we are separated (let's keep that between us). Anyway, we have been with our foster mom for 2-years now and Wolfie and I just want to have a place of our own. I don’t really care much for other dogs besides my brother, but Wolfie would play with another dog. We are such good boys and we have a lot of love to give. We are vaccinated, neutered, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. We love being outside because we have such thick fur and we even like it when it’s cold outside. Wolfie and I would love to be a part of your family. If you’d like to meet us, please email our foster mom at roseysweezers7@aol.com. ♥
►What's up! My name is Wolfie (because I kinda look like one). My brother, Chaco, and I have been in rescue for almost 2-years. He’s pictured above. I love my foster mama but my brother and I would really like a yard to run around in and a couch to cuddle on. I love being outside and I love my sloth stuffed animal (I take it everywhere with me). We have a lot of fur because we are Husky/Shepherd/Lab mixes. My brother and I have to stay together because we are bonded and both depend on each other. We have never been separated and don't want to start now! We used to live with our dad but he passed away and someone took us to the shelter. We were so scared there. Our foster mom took us home and we are much happier now. We are both 5 to 6-years-old, vaccinated, neutered, heartworm negative and on heartworm prevention. We are so ready for a family of our own. Do you have enough love for us both? To meet us, contact our foster mom by emailing roseysweezers7@aol.com. ♥
