8. Diva

Young · Female · Russian Blue / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)

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.

28. Chella

Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat)

Most of my time has been spent with my two brothers (Crowley and Pier). This has led me to develop a very confident approach to life. I walk around like I own the place because I have to! I am slender and quick on my feet. My confidence has moments of doubt when sudden, loud noises startle me. My tail poofs up but I quickly get it together and realize there is no threat. I explore any and everything, so I need a safe place to gather all my information for hide and seek. I am not the first one to the dinner bowl, but I am not shy about pushing my brothers out the way so I can eat. I love pets but I am not into being held for long periods at this point in my life since I am a bit of a busybody and need to know what is going on at all times.

Adopt Chella fromAnimal Rescue Carolina, Inc.Columbia, SC · listed Jun 27

29. Pier

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Tabby / Mixed (short coat)

I am the outgoing sibling to Crowley and Chella. I've never met someone I couldn't charm! I love to chase and wrestle. Once I get to know you, I am a cuddle bug. I gladly push my way to the front of the food line when I hear that pop top to the food can!!! I can sleep anywhere and I love stretching out in my space. I never let anyone see me scared and I can run faster than my siblings - hence my love of chase. My second favorite is wrestling, so it may be a good idea to adopt me with a buddy. If not, be prepared to spend lots of time playing with me. I love spring toys and the little mice my foster mom has provided. I carry the springs around and won't let anyone else take them from me. Oh and I love seeing how high I can jump and what I can get into.

30. Crowley

Young · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat)

Initially my name was Crawlspace - as it may suggest I may be a bit of a daredevil. I got up under a house and screamed until I was captured and brought to safety. It has not dampened my curiousity or spirit! I was reunited with my two siblings (Pier and Chella) to play and get into mischief together. I never miss a meal and can get a little zesty with the water bowl. My foster mom says it's not a foot wash station, but it does work well for that! If I had to describe my perfect new home, I would say I want somewhere I can roam and explore safely. While a buddy would be nice for me to play around with, I am not super attached to my siblings. A cozy bed is nice, but I can sleep just about anywhere! I want someone who enjoys holding me, petting me, listening to my purrs and then letting me run off to play. What I bring to the table is joy and fun.

    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 Newberry 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.

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.
