Summer Tails Part 3: Nash & Bruce

Nash & Bruce were rescued from different places by our friends in Rocky Mount. They are a few weeks apart in age but once they met, they instantly became best friends 😻
We were beyond thrilled when a retired local teacher reached out and expressed interest in BoTh of them❣️ We knew it was meant to be and both boys are thriving and chatty and getting all the cuddles 🥰 they so deserve.
Happy Tails Boys😘

Summer Tails Part 2: Dash

Dash (Now Mabel) came to us FiV+ so we knew she would need special placement. At the same time, a beautiful, loving, kind family was looking 👀 to add an FiV+ cat to their home as a friend for their Sassy who is also FiV+❣️
Dash (Mabel) now lives happily and spoiled and it’s been a pleasure watching her grow from a shy feral to family fav 😻

This is her on her closed in catio & we wonder 💭 what she dreams about these days 😻

Summer Tails: Part 1 - Nebula & Tobias

From their Pawrents:

Jyn our dog, is also a rescue, and she is named after Jyn Erso from Star Wars. We named Darth Vader (Tobias) after Star Wars obviously, and Nebula fits the space theme too! We were looking to add a new member to our family, but when we met these two kittens, and the bond they have with one another, we knew we had to take both of them home to Kure Beach. Vader (Tobias) and Nebula have added so much love and happiness to our household.

Their affectionate and playful personalities have become the light of our days and Jyn’s new favorite play-mates. Ruffian made the adoption process quick and easy and helped out in any way they could. They care for the cats just as much as we do, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their help!

And of course, our names are Fiona, Soraya, and David.

Thank you so much for all your help Ruffian!!

Bonnie is looking for her forever ♾️ home!
Shy and timid, Bonnie will need a patient human to take it slow during her adjustment period. Bonnie will need at least one ☝️ playmate and cuddle partner that she will likely warm up to before her human.
She loves to play red dot 🔴 as well as chase toys on string❣️
Do you know anyone who needs a Bonnie in their life?!? 🐾
