13. Diva
My name is Diva or little Diva. Right now I’m a tiny, petite girl. Despite being a kitten I’m fairly shy
but love to snuggle and purr. I need a little time to adjust to new people. I like some cats, but I tend to stay away from the super energetic ones that want to play all the time. They are a bit too much for me. I would do best with a calm dog and older children that have had experience with cats before.

15. Raspberry
My name is Raspberry. I'm a very shy girl. While I adjust and get used to you, I will sit very still in your lap. I do enjoy ear scratches, but you have to move slowly or I get scared. I was with three siblings growing up but I mostly keep to myself. I am looking for a quiet home with plenty of love and patience for me to feel comfortable. This will help me to grow and thrive into the cat I know I can be. A cat buddy that likes to nurture and be loving toward me would be a plus.

Frances knows how to get attention! His story with us started as he stopped multiple lanes of traffic and was pulled out the engine of a car.

Imagine coming home to him everyday?

Wil is a handsome ex feral who was misunderstood at the time and released. He turned up three years later a bit worse for wear as he is a lover not a fighter. How can we put him back out?

20. Marlena
Marlena is a kitty that lived in a hoarding situation that we had to trap. She is a shy girl who started off looking like a lost cause but has gradually become more and more friendly and likes to be petted. She just had a sad start. We are hoping that someone will give her the opportunity to blossom in a loving home. We love these transitions.

How to adopt from Animal Rescue Carolina, Inc.
We have an application that must be filled out including a vet reference and non-relative references. A 24 hour hold on the application allows the ARC volunteer to call references and follow up with any questions for the potential adopter. A home visit may be scheduled at this point. If the person is approved, they must sign a contract. An adoption fee is required, however this may be waived in special circumstances. If for any reason in the future they can no longer take care of the pet, the animal must be returned to ARC.

How to adopt from The Humane Society of McCormick County, Inc.
Our adoption process starts with an interview. We want to know what type of cat or dog they are looking for, their lifestyle, and their expectations. Then we set up a meet and greet either at the shelter, a pet store, or at their home. Then they fill out an adoption contract. We offer and encourage potential adopters to take the dog or cat home on foster-to-adopt for a few weeks before finalizing the adoption. Our adoption fee is $65 for cats and $125 for dogs which included spay or neuter and vaccinations and for dogs, it includes a microchip. Cats can be microchipped upon request.
Adopting a cat in Batesburg-Leesville
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.
