Meet our Cats

(Check back daily for more panthers as they’re added!)

  • Mimsy

    1 year old female

    Mimsy rhymes with whimsy, she is certainly more whimsical than she is prim and uninteresting. Mimsy is considering a career as a floral designer, or possibly interior designer that is cat specific. Quiet and unassuming but with a wildly creative side, that's our Mimsy.

  • Pico

    8 month old female

    Special Needs

    Pico, a former Pawkette dancer, was forced to retire early due to her hip issues. Apparently it wasn't "on brand" for her to pee a little on stage when she kicked her leg up during their infamous closing routine. She was pretty downtrodden when her dream career went down the drain, but now she's found a new calling! Pico is hoping to become a trophy wife so she can be adored, fanned with giant leaves, and eat bon-bons all day without the pressure of being anything other than her purrfect self!

  • 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.

  • Mischief

    5 year old male

    Mischief after wandering about a bit was considering a career with the rodeo. Then he learned that they don't let cats join the rodeo--no matter how good they are at chasing down calves. For now, he is still exploring what the future might hold for him.

  • 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.

  • Tuti

    10 year old male

    "Tuti" means "snowbird" in Cherokee, which is fitting because this little guy is basically the size of a tiny dainty bird. Tuti has recently taken up golfing as he has officially crossed the bridge into 'senior kitty' territory. He's very confident in his abilities, despite his best score being 135. He doesn't have opposable thumbs, though, so give him a break!

  • Miso

    15 year old female

    Miso might be old but she's still as spunky as ever! This furry Golden Girl loves bingo nights, red wine, and anti-mice protests. She's lived her life and has reached that age where she just doesn't really care about anyone's opinions of her. She's a QUEEN and she knows it!

  • Fox

    1 year old female

    Fox is ready to start the next chapter of her life--preferably one that excludes annoying babies and kittens. She has an interest in organic chemistry, herbology, and tea making. She thinks it might be fun to work in a tea shop--especially one that offers books to read or borrow.

  • Stella Artois

    6 month old female

    Stella Artois is a classy little lady. She enjoys relaxing in a hot tub with a glass of red wine and a box of chocolates. She believes that everyone should treat themselves at least once every day, and it's very important to her that she lives her own life like it's all one big treat. She's not overdramatic, she knows what she wants!

  • Tulip

    6 month old female

    Tulip's origin story is a tad mysterious as it seems as though she may have sprouted from a flowerpot of weeds. (Seriously, she was found in a flowerpot!) Like all flowers that grown from bulbs, Tulip possesses an amount of tenacity that we all should admire and aspire to!

  • Aunt Franny

    3 year old female

    Aunt Franny is a multi-disciplinary artist. There's not a medium that she hasn't at least dabbled in. She regularly embroiders, paints, and even makes jewelry. She's passionate about her crafts, and even graciously hosts art nights for the other cats in the lounge. It gets really messy, though, and they never clean up after themselves.

  • Fangella

    2 year old female

    We think Fangella might be a vampire. The other day, there was a bat in the lounge, and when we tried to catch it, POOF! It vanished into thin air! And then, Fangella seemed to appear out of nowhere right behind us, with a smug look on her little face. Our resident cat attendant has also been having really weird dreams about Fangella, and even woke up with a couple of suspicious puncture wounds in their neck a few days ago...
