MEET OUR ADOPTABLE PANTHERS
(Please note that we only have 12 cats in the cat lounge at any given time. Our partner rescue, Binx’s Home for Black Cats, often has many more adoptable panthers in individual foster homes and you can see those cats on their website and submit an adoption application here.

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.

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!

Eva
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.

Valentino
9 year old male
Valentino was born strong, which is why he decided to begin a career as a bodybuilder at a young age. He's been competing in shows for 9 years now, and he's won quite a few championships. His arch-nemesis is a 2-year-old tabby named Tony, who's gotten a little too good at posedowns for this stage in his career...

Hendrix
10 month old male
BONDED W/ FELONIOUS MONK
Hendrix has a musical genius that in all likelihood will not be fully appreciated during his lifetime--despite the fact that all of his feline peers consider his work pure brilliance! Unfortunately, his brother, Felonious frequently uses Hendrix's music as a cover for committing crimes!
-

Felonious Monk
8 month old male
BONDED W/ HENDRIX
Felonious Monk, while having a passion for improvisation, progressive and even eccentric jazz, Felonious is also one of the best criminal masterminds in the universe. There is no safe he can't crack, no ghastly expensive item he cannot steal. He often uses his friend Hendrix's wild guitar licks to mesmerize folks into not noticing he has just waltzed off with their wealth.

Nine Meowl
8 month old female
Nine Meowl, named after the delicious locally-owned trio of Caribbean restaurants, is a laid-back girl. Her favorite activity is soaking up sun rays coming in through a window. She also enjoys cooking yummy food and sharing it with whoever will truly appreciate the array of warm spices she adds in every dish. Nine Meowl needs a foodie human who will join her for at least a few of her 10+ daily naps!
-

Bosco
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!
-

Fish
7 year old male
ADOPTION PENDING
Fish is a retired merchant marine who both became bored with life at sea and weary of dealing with aggressive dogs on board. Instead, he thought he would explore the mountains and see what the heights have to offer. He is considering a second career--possibly in botany. Fish already has a keen interest in birding!
-

Divinity Fluff
10 month old female
Divinity Fluff is every bit as sweet as her name implies. As a tortie, she seems to be somewhat lacking in the tortitude department since she is most agreeable and not much of a backtalker. She is considering a career path in what else but the divinities! Whether that is spiritual study or confectionary practices, we frankly aren't sure as she has been a bit vague.
-

Orca
2 year old male
Orca may look like a killer whale, but he is a kind & adorable boi! The only killing he is likely to do is with purrs and invitations for pets. Well, except for the occasional mouse, but that is to be expected. He has yet to decide on a career path but is considering how much fun it might be to work in an aquarium. And to be fair, with a name like Orca, it might be a purrfect fit!

Ladycat
11 year old female
Ladycat is an older lady of refined tastes, who prefers the quiet life, free from young upstarts and probably most other cats. She has a keen interest in historical fiction, enjoys British television with an accompaniment of catnip tea and Greenies (in place of biscuits). She's been known to have just a drop of tawny port or sherry after dinner. There is no finer cultured cat around than Ladycat.
