Adult · Male · Manx / Bobtail / Mixed (short coat)

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

6. Spunky & Hurricane

Kitten · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby (short coat)

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.

Hershey is an adorable 8 week old DSH kitten, he is black with these adorable brown spots behind his ears.

8. Oscar

Young (1 year) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat)

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.

12. Maya

Young (11 months) · Female · Tuxedo / Mixed (short coat)

Maya was born into a feral community in our neighborhood. When she was 8 months old, I was able to capture her after realizing she was blind. She only weighed 4 and a half pounds at that time. She has been with us for about 2 months. During this time, she has had her left eye removed, has been spayed, and now weighs a little over 6 pounds. She has very little sight in her right eye.

Read more about Maya

However, Maya is amazing. She has mapped my entire house using just touch, sound, and her whiskers. She does not like to be picked up or carried because it disorients her but loves to be on the chair with you and to be petted, sometimes sitting in your lap. She knows exactly where her food, water, and litter are. She has never gone outside of her litter box. She loves to play with toys. I have several that either smell of catnip or make noise so she can easily find them. She is a beautiful black and white cat with a very loving nature. She gets along well with my dogs, even playing with them. She is very gentle and has not scratched me in play. She has scratched me when I pick her up because it confuses her. She is so smart and is so happy for all she has been through. Just a wonderful cat.

Meet Edith!

Edith is a gorgeous 2½-year-old Tabico with beautiful brown markings and an unforgettable little personality.

This sweet girl was found scavenging behind a grocery store dumpster, doing whatever she could to survive. Thankfully, those days are behind her, and she’s now safe, learning that full bellies, soft beds, and kind people are things she can count on.

Edith can be a little shy when meeting new people. She prefers to make the first move, and once she decides you’re worthy of her attention—usually by rubbing against your legs—she’s more than happy to accept pets and affection on her own terms.

One of the quickest ways to win Edith’s heart is with food! She’s incredibly treat-motivated and never turns down a tasty snack. She also has the cutest little trademark: an adorable permanent “blep,” with the tip of her tongue peeking out, guaranteed to make you smile every time you see her.

If you’re looking for a sweet, independent companion who just needs a little patience to let her personality shine, Edith may be the perfect addition to your family.

Cities and towns in Rockingham County

Adopting a cat in Rockingham County

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
