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.

11 month old male

Crabgrass is an anti-vegan advocate and thinks that all humans would be much healthier if they adopted the feline obligate carnivore diet. He also is known for getting into bar fights over which kind of meat tastes the best and is better for the body. Crabgrass is very deeply rooted in his opinions and is incredibly difficult to remove from the conversation. It's also worth noting that Crabgrass is not a doctor or a nutritionist and that Binx's Home for Black Cats is not responsible for any health issues that may arise as a result of listening to his theories.

11 month old female

Recently someone asked us how we tell Aster apart from the other black kittens but in reality it's very easy because he always speaks in a fake British accent. Much like the flower he's named after, which is invasive, Aster has his own ideas about what life should be like. He has learned to take advantage of whatever space he finds himself in and is able to thrive in all sorts of environments.

4 year old male

Bosco is known for being one of the fiercest drag queens around! While others may be weirded out by his scarred nose and pig-like tail, he's used the art of drag to accentuate his differences and turn the beauty standard on its head. His hope is that other little pig-tailed kitties grow up seeing his achievements and that he can inspire them to love themselves just as they are!

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!

4 year old female

Snickers is a leader of the fight for access to fair-trade chocolate. She's passionate about sweet treats made with cacao beans grown by farmers who are actually paid adequately for their work (what a concept!). Snickers has organized protests against companies such as Nestlé and Mars for illegally sourcing cocoa and exploiting children for labor. She recognizes that her name is a little ironic, but it certainly grabs peoples' attention!

1 year old male

Yogi was once an attorney, but his license got revoked... it was a boring job, anyway. Now, he spends his free time gardening all sorts of things, and made it pretty big in the catnip industry. Maybe the legality of the strain he grows is up for interpretation, but it sure is successful! Yogi also likes to give people legal advice, but it's been a while since he's actually practiced, so he mostly just makes stuff up. He's responsible for lots of lost cases, but also some won, and that's what counts!

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.
