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.
-

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.
-

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.
-

Lavender Marriage
2 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!
-

Crabgrass
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.

Aster
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.
