Sweet Pea
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.

Mary-Kate
3 year old female
Mary-Kate is a very skilled herbalist. She forages all kinds of things, but her favorite thing to pick is catnip. Sure, it's usually growing on people's front yards and porches, but as long as it's outside, it's obviously free to take. She also likes to help us with our garden out back, but sometimes when we go to check on it, half the produce is missing. We think she might be selling it to make an extra buck.

Draven
8 month old male
Draven is one big ol' panther man who has his own agenda that largely revolves around the best creature comforts life has to offer--like basking on the hearth from the radiant heat of a cheerful fire while absorbing the ambience of lo-fi playing in the background. While he has yet to settle on a career path, he could easily find his place in the world as a demotivational speaker. His tag line: How to do less and still be adored.

Moira
6 month old female
BONDED WITH JANINE
Moira, much like her sister, is also a strong advocate for cats rights. However, she has decided the best way to garner support for their shared cause is to deliver a quaint and charming performance.

Inoli
7 month old male
Inoli means "black fox" in Cherokee, and an alternate translation is "fishing cat." He's very aptly named, as he both looks like a little fox, and is a passionate fisherman. He loves to fish for salmon in the Atlantic, but plane tickets are getting expensive, so he needs a human to fund his fishing trips. Could that be you? Submit an application for Inoli today!

Vera
8 month old female
Vera has fined-tuned her sassiness so that she is now better able to communicate her desire in ways that cannot be denied or ignored. She is considering a career as a butterfly herder and possibly working to help proliferate the declining Monarch population--butterflies not kings! Vera has a lot of thoughts about the inadequacies of humans and feels they could all benefit from some feline guidance & wisdom when it comes to the natural world.

Howl
7 month old male
Bonded with Calcifer
Howl is a magic maker of the highest order, but only as long as he has his sister Calcifer at his side. As a bonded pair, they are never far apart. Howl has very definite ideas of how things should be--which do not always dovetail with his sister's approach to life. Together, they are a force of nature that can manifest as beneficial or end of sowing the seeds of chaos.

Calcifer
7 month old female
Bonded with Howl
Calcifer, like her namesake, brings a fiery warmth but also the heat of spiciness. She has her own ideas about things ought to be and has no problem correcting you if you get it wrong by her standards. She's bonded to her brother Howl and they are capable of great magic that can manifest as a blessing or utter chaos--as is the way of kittens!
