	Camilla Breed: Domestic Short Hair (Egyptian Mau Mix) Color: Black Smoke Gender: Spayed Female DOB: 4/2008 I’m a very shy girl who needs a quiet home with someone who’s patient and will give me time to trust and bond with them, so the playful, loving side of my personality can shine through. In my foster home, I’m affectionate and playful and love to chase string toys with feathers. I’m fine with other cats and enjoy playing with them, but I don’t know anything about dogs and wouldn’t do well with them. Though I wasn’t raised with children, I’ll be OK with calm, older kids. I just need someone special who can see through my shy exterior to the special kitty hidden inside. If you are interested in meeting me, contact my foster mommy, Pat McCutchen at pat165@aol.com.

	Joanna Breed: Domestic Medium Hair Color: Silver Grey Gender: Spayed Female DOB: 4/2008 I’m shy at first, but if you’re patient and give me time to learn to trust you, I’ll welcome being scratched and petted. At my foster home, I love to chase string toys with feathers and to climb cat trees, but I’m also a gentle, affectionate love-bug with potential for becoming a lap cat! I’m fine with other cats (once I get to know them) and enjoy playing with them. I don’t know anything about dogs and wouldn’t do well with them. Although I wasn’t raised around children, I’ll be fine with calm, older kids who’ll play with me and cuddle me when I’m ready. If you are interested in meeting me, contact my foster mommy, Pat McCutchen at pat165@aol.com.

	Amelia Domestic Long Hair Mix - Brown (possibly Maine Coon) Female (spayed) DOB: 1/2004 This beautiful girl will be 7 y.o. in January. She hails from Colombia, South America and has had a rough year. She flew all the way to the U.S. with her mom, who had to return to her country unexpectedly. Her mom is now in a position where she cannot have a pet, so Amelia is staying with a friend in Raleigh. Her days in this temporary home are numbered! Amelia would be the perfect companion for an older person or in a home with older kids. She has never been around other cats, so that situation would have to be tested. She did share her home with a young puppy for a brief period of time, and that went well. Her shots are up to date. She loves to play soccer with her balls and she is bilingual, speaking both Spanish and English! (although “meow” tends to sound the same in both languages). Please contact Brian at btinga@gmail.com .

	Izzie Domestic Medium Hair Mix - White and Brown Female (spayed) DOB: 4/2006 My name is Izzie. I am a 5 year old, white & brown, cuddly cat! I love to cuddle with anyone, and will start purring if you look at me from across the room. I'm a little overweight, but that just makes me cuter than the average cat. I need a new, permanent home and would love for you to take me and my brother, Scoot. My parents just had their first baby (a real baby, not a fur baby), and their small townhome is getting a little too crowded with us and the baby. Wow, that baby has a lot of things! Please contact Hillary at hillary.n.white@gmail.com.

	Scoot Domestic Medium Hair Mix - Grey & White Tabby Male (neutered) DOB: 4/2006 My name is Scoot. I am a 5 year old, gray & white cat and much cooler than my sister, Izzie. I keep things cool, calm and collected most of the time; however, sometimes I have an extra 'skip in my step.' Strangers scare me, but I love to cuddle with my owners when they aren't messing with the baby. I have pretty green eyes and extra silky fur. Please take me and my sister, Izzie. We'd love to show you our love and affection. Please contact Hillary at hillary.n.white@gmail.com.

	Smitty Domestic Short Hair Mix - Orange Tabby Neutered Male DOB: ~ 2007 Smitty is an orange, male tabby who is about 4 years old. He was my coworker's cat, but my coworker's 8-year old son recently moved in with him, and the kid has asthma so Smitty had to go. My coworker was going to put Smitty out on the street!! I've been caring for Smitty for about 2 months. He has always been an indoor cat. He's up to date on his shots and he's neutered. He's a total sweetheart, but he doesn't like dogs very well. He gets along fine with other cats, but he's not aggressive so he'll let other cats push him around if they are aggressive. He's a talker - he meows when you talk to him. He's a real cutie. Please contact Heather at knshumaker@hotmail.com.

	Chloe Domestic Shorthair Mix - Tuxedo Spayed Female DOB: 2010 My name is Chloe…I’m a cute, playful and affectionate black and white tuxedo kitty…still very much in my kitten stage. I’m probably about 1.5 years old. I was hanging around a dental office where I had a litter of kittens and was being fed and “ooohed” and “aaahed” over by the ladies that worked at the office. They knew I needed a home, love and care. It was really getting cold outside and I was rescued by Chris and Laura where they brought me in from the cold, got me all caught up with my vet care (I have been given a physical, shots and spayed – I have a microchip) and loved and played with me. They were hoping to be able to keep me, but I really don’t like other cats I need a home where there are no other animals and no children. I need someone that is stable in their own life who will always keep me indoors and be a committed owner that will care for and love me for the rest of my life. If these special needs of mine would work out for you, please call 336-643-5213 and leave a message. Laura or Chris will pass along the message to me that you might want to take me home with you and I would be so excited…I really look forward to meeting my new owner! Sincerely, Chloe... P.S. You can change my name if you’d like, as long as you call me yours! Contact Richard at rapartridge1@bellsouth.net.

	Tiggy Domestic Shorthair Mix Neutered Male DOB: 2005 Hi!! My name is Tiggy and I am a 6 year old, male, tabby cat looking for a new home. My family is looking to re-home me as they are pregnant with twins due in September and they don’t think I will tolerate small children too well. I am very sweet and loving with adults however I can be grumpy so small children can annoy me. I currently live in a home with another cat and a large dog so I do great with other animals. Actually I like my big brother (dog) Roscoe more than my sister (cat) Callie!! I have been fixed and have always been an indoor cat. My parents found me along with my litter mates outside under a porch back in 2005 and decided to keep me however now with babies on the way they think it’s better to find a new home for me.

	Prince Marmalade DLH Neutered Male DOB: ? Hello. My name is Prince Marmalade. I used to have a home but somehow I wound up lost lost in the woods. I tried to find my way. I became thin and my fur matted. I came upon a neighborhood where the children were friendly. I might have stayed in the woods, visiting different houses. However there was a house in the neighborhood that left catfood outside. It was the only house in the neighborhood with food outside and so I helped myself. It turned out that catfood was for her cat only and me having a few bites meant she wanted me caught by animal control and sent to a kill shelter. I don’t know why it was fine for her cat to eat outside and run through the woods but no other animals were welcome. Fortunately for me there was another family who took an interest in helping me find my home. They told the neighborhood they would foster me – and have provided me with food, water, and shelter on the screened in porch. We have searched for three months for my old home but isn’t working. So now we are looking for my new home. I would like a loving home where I can be part of the family. I really love to play, be pet and brushed. I have a long puffy tail and big feet. I come when called and I am clean, gentle and loving. I get along with creatures including wild possums and tame cats. If you can offer me a place in your home I will bring plenty of love with me. Please contact Peter at: 919-387-9341 or via email at: peter.bonate@gmail.com.

	Bailey Bailey, a 10 year-old female Boxer/Shepherd Mix whom we have been fostering the past few months. Her owner (who had rescued her from a shelter a few years prior) passed away very suddenly in March. This lady happened to have adopted a Cocker Spaniel whom we had fostered a few years earlier, and this is how we got involved. We placed the Cocker fairly quickly, but have had very hard time placing Bailey. Despite being in excellent health and spirits for her age, she has developed cataracts, causing some anxiety problems. She is now in an intensive training program with a very reputable trainer. All we want is for this sweet, affectionate girl to live out her golden years in a peaceful, quiet home. However, we are unable to keep her ourselves. My grandmother, who lives with us, is about to have open-heart surgery, and nursing staff will be in and out all day long. We have no option but to keep her cooped up, which makes her miserable. For more information on Bailey, contact Zecca-Naples at teckelgirl@aim.com.

	Buddy Meet Buddy: 55 lbs, moderate Size, neutered and microchipped, heartworm negative, current on vaccinations, heartworm preventative, and flea/tick meds. Buddy is housetrained, crate-trained, leash-trained and responds to simple commands (sit, stay, drop it, shake). He loves to take car rides, long hikes, chasing his tail, running at full speed in the open secure spaces and snuggling on the couch. Buddy would do best in a home with lots of love, affection, and attention from Adults and Teens and who enjoy the Outdoors and can give this guy the daily exercise he needs. He should not be in a home with cats or similarly “accessible” small pets. If you are looking for a loyal, obedient and high energy pet, Buddy is the dog for you. Potential adopters should be prepared to complete a thorough application, telephone interview, and one or more home visits. A rehoming fee applies. For more information, contact Rene Hart at 919.271.3124 or via email ReneHart@earthlink.net.
