Meet Tim!!

Tim is a young, playful sweetheart who thinks every human he meets is his new best friend.

He loves kisses, leans right into affection, and has a personality that makes you melt a little.

He wants to be close, wants to be loved, and gives it right back without hesitation.

He’s social, curious, and always ready for fun — but he also has a tender side that makes him perfect for someone wanting a cuddly companion!

He's currently at our Morganton Adoption Center if you would like to meet him!

Good morning from the Hickory Petsmart crew!

Come visit the gang this week — each one has their own little personality, but every single one is overflowing with love and hoping for their furrever home.

Timothy Pumpkin - total cuteness wrapped up in orange! He loves to play with springs and sparkle balls.

Tito - endlessly energetic, curious, and enthusiastic about everything around him. He starts purring almost the moment playtime begins.

Chai - a sweet loving gentle soul who wants nothing more than to be close to her person.

Newt - the ultimate cat. He loves to play, he's a member of the clean plate club, laidback, and loves to sit in your lap. We love Newt!

Cali - She is a beautiful tortie whose personality hasn't truly came out at Petsmart. She is a mild mannered lady who loves everyone but especially someone who will hold her and love her.

Last but not least Russell.

Russell is packed with more personality than his tiny body can hold. He loves life, adores his foster mom, and never turns down a good play session.

He would thrive in a home with another kitten or playful cat — someone who can keep up with his energy.

Meet Ted (red collar) — he’s one of our newest black and white tuxedo arrivals at our Morganton Adoption Center and he's the definition of a total lovebug!!

This handsome boy is a purr machine who thinks affection is a fulltime job.

Ted loves being petted, staying close to his person, and soaking up every bit of attention he can get.

If you’re looking for a cat who brings warmth, sweetness, and nonstop cuddles, he’s the whole love package wrapped in cuteness!!

Bringing that JT suit‑and‑tie energy today — because our tuxedo cats stay looking red‑carpet ready without even trying.

Adopt a cat who’s already dressed for every occasion.

We will be spotlighting this well dressed group along with others who are all available for adoption and looking for their furrever home!!

We started off National Adoption Week strong!!

Ozzie is joining his college dad and officially becoming a college cat — a Wolfpack cat, to be exact, for all you NC State fans.

We always knew he was a smart boy.

Now he’s off to campus life, study buddies, and the best future ❤️
