1. Charlotte
Senior (12 years) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from High Point




Char/Meck Animal Control was notified by a couple that a cat had shown up at their house. She was scanned for a microchip that came back to the SCHS...from 2015! Unregistered, we have CHARLOTTE back and have caught her up on her vetting. She is a total sweetheart: calm, friendly, but with not many teeth. This, however, does not stop her from eating and she enjoys her meals. She is also four-paw declawed, but doesn't hold that against us. She will make a wonderful lap cat!
The standard adoption fee is $120 cash or $125 debit/credit. This includes feline testing, vaccines, spaying/neutering, micro-chipping and de-worming.

Young (6 months) · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from High Point

He enjoys the catio, and visiting with and getting affection from volunteers. He does great with other cats and is sure to be a good lap warmer.

5. Menschie
Adult · Male · Manx / Bobtail / Mixed (short coat) · 25 mi from High Point




Menschie is the Yiddish word for "good boy", and this Menschie is definitely a good boy. Menschie is a Manx/bobtail mix tuxedo boy. He was found as a stray.
While he can occasionally be startled, for the most part he's very laid back and easy going. He loves people and I've seen someone he's just met be able to pick him up and cuddle him. We hope to learn soon if he's good with other cats.
He is up to date on vaccinations, has been wormed, treated for fleas, neutered, and microchipped. He tested negative for FIV, Felv, and heartworms.
His adoption fee is $95

11. Spunky & Hurricane
Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat) · 25 mi from High Point






Courtesy Post
Read more about Spunky & Hurricane
Spunky (mom) and her son Hurricane came into care in mid-July, 2026. Spunky had shown up on her foster parents porch as a starving kitten in May, 2026. She was so small, no one imagined that she had kittens until she was spayed 5/29/26. She was released to her home territory following her surgery and continued to come for meals at the foster yard until a rain storm in July drove the little family to a neighbor’s porch. Spunky and her three kittens were captured and moved inside. Despite living outside for a long period, Spunky was never feral. The foster parents have been able to assemble a team of volunteers to help handle the kittens so they are also social.
Hurricane is a brown tabby male who looks just like his mother. He has always been very attached to her. This attachment was evident even when he had two siblings with which to play. The siblings have gone on to successful adoptions in the past few weeks. It is our opinion that Spunky and Hurricane should remain together.
Spunky and Hurricane live with 4 other cats and get along well with everyone. Their favorite place to be is on a cat tree looking out on the woods where they used to live but they have not tried to leave the house at all. They play with each other and with a very active 3 year old cat in the foster home. Favorite toys include a laser pen, springs, and small catnip mice. It’s been really fun to see Spunky enjoy toys that she probably never experienced before.
Neither Spunky nor Hurricane are particularly cuddly but they like to be in the same space with their foster parents. If she weren’t named Spunky early in her rescue, she would be named Perfection. She truly is the perfect cat! She is quiet, keeps a regular schedule, uses the litter box perfectly and took wonderful care of her kittens. Hurricane is a wonderfully playful youngster who enjoys toys, the scratching posts, climbing furniture and sleeping on any item of clothing that is left on the bed. Both are addicted to catnip and will roll around with any item that contains it.
If you are looking for a pair of young cats with whom to share your space, these two are a great choice. They are calm, attached to humans that they know, and really easy to care for. They eat and spend the night in the bathroom they have always used. They spend their days in the house with the other cats playing chase and napping. Although they have not been exposed to children or dogs, they are calm enough that these should not be a problem.
Both Spunky and Hurricane are fully vaccinated, spay/neutered, microchipped and ready for adoption.
They are located in Greensboro NC.

17. Oscar
Young (1 year) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat) · 24 mi from High Point


Oscar was found trapped in a garbage bend. He had been there for awhile because you see all his bones. Since being in rescue he has gained his weight back and made himself right at home. He loves sleeping on my bed and being rubbed. I don’t think his former home ever played with him because he was confused by cat toys. He is gorgeous medium hair blue cat with the most mesmerizing yellow eyes. He is tall and sleek…could have been a super model. Although he is ok with my other cats I think he would prefer to be the only one. He gets a little bossy with my older cats but really liked the foster kitten Presley. He has been completely vetted and combo tested negative. He is believed to be around 1-2 yrs old.

18. Zahli
Kitten (3 months 26 days) · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 47 mi from High Point






ZAHLI was diagnosed with Glaucoma in her right eye. While vets hoped to wait until she was a little bigger to remove it, it was on the verge of rupturing so surgery was done. One of the SCHS' great foster moms stepped up to care for Zahli through her recovery and now she's ready for her forever home. This easygoing, affectionate girl loves other cats, dogs and people. She enjoys being carried around like the princess that she is and she sleeps with her foster parents at night.

Adopting a cat with children in High Point
Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.
Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
