MEET OUR ADOPTABLE PANTHERS

12 year old female

Sweet Pea has lived quite the life. After a 12-year-long journey across the cosmos, she landed here in Asheville. That UFO you swear you saw that one time? Yeah, Sweet Pea was probably behind the wheel. If you're lucky, you'll catch her blepping - this is a tactic she learned from her travels to Jupiter, where the aliens taught her all the best ways to pull on a human's heartstrings.

2 year old female

Eva was a bit of a wild child who currently envisions herself to be the queen of her domain. However, she's recently learned there are other cats in the world which came as a startling realization. Whether she decides to be a ruler of cats or not is unclear, but she will most certainly be the ruler of humans wherever she is.

6 year old male

Gorilla, having always wanted to be a denizen of the jungle, named himself after watching hours of Dian Fossey's documentaries on mountain gorillas. He felt that he was meant to be a gorilla but somehow ended up in the body of a house cat (a very large house cat). He had hoped to go live with them in the wild, but due to his slight vision impairment, he instead chose to live a more quiet life, becoming the first cat to achieve a PhD in Zoology with a focus on gorilla studies.

15 year old female

After years in service as the faithful house cat to a family that had the audacity to add human children to its ranks, Pippin decided to retire. She is seriously considering a new career as a population control specialist. Pippin believes there are far too many humans and cats being brought into the world and someone needs to advocate for less procreation!

5 year old male

Jackdaw is wily & canny, much like the bird he is named for. He has a propensity for shiny objects, especially those that have excessive value. As a reformed jewel thief, Jackdaw only "borrows" things now rather than spiriting them away to sell to the highest bidder. He's considering opening a pawn shop that caters to cat lovers and only carries feline-related items and ephemera.

1 year old female

Named after the Finnish Goddess of the Forest and Hunt, due to her wild adventures, Mielikki found herself pregnant and gave birth to four furry little bundles of joy. For now her focus is on being the best mama in the mountains, but she is beginning to consider what life may have to offer once her kittens are weaned and no longer need her. She does have an interest in forestry and environmental preservation. Time will tell.

4 year old male

Lavender Marriage is an advocate for equal rights for everyone, and believes strongly that love is love--whether you are a cat or a human! He supports marriage equality, transgender rights, and universal healthcare. While all of that seems purrfectly reasonable, he also believes cats should be allowed to vote. On that, we are not sure this is a very good idea!

1 year old female

Skellie is a connoisseur of oddities. She especially loves bones, of course, and she'll take home pretty much any dead animal she finds on the side of the road to preserve them (maceration of birds is her specialty). Skellie uses all the odds and ends she finds to create beautiful shadow box arrangements, which she sells at art markets in the area. If you're lucky, you might catch her at the next Magical Market!
