Gray Mama, an adult female cat up for adoption

What if the best years of her life are still waiting for her?

Meet Grey Mama.

For years, she quietly survived outside as part of a small colony of just five cats. She was trapped, spayed through TNR in 2019, and returned to the only life she had ever known.

Recently, Grey Mama had to have one of her eyes removed. But something unexpected happened during her recovery...

She fell in love with being an indoor cat. ❤️

Instead of wanting to go back outside, she has embraced the comfort, safety, and love of a home. She's an absolute LOVE BUG who wants nothing more than to be close to her people.

27. Harley, Marley & Bobbie

Adult (4 years 1 month) · Domestic Short Hair (medium coat)

Harley, Marley & Bobbie, adult cats up for adoption

Meet the sweetest trio of cats you'll ever know..... Pebbles, Marley & Harley...... These cats were taken in by a loving neighbor once their original caretaker passed away and left them without a home. He has cared for them for the last 2 years but know they deserve much more than he can offer them himself. Each of the kitties is UTD with all vetting, spayed / neutered, and recently had dental work as well! Our best guess is they are in the 4-6 year old range. We would love for at least 2 of them to be adopted together, IF possible, since they have always lived together.

Adopting a cat in Alleghany 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.
