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 binxshomeforblackcats.com/adoptable-cats 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.

  • Pippin

    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!

    Marnie is ambitious, persistent, and self-assured. She has big dreams of becoming a famous singer, and she's been searching for her ideal musical partner: someone who can both play the guitar and foster a dramatic romantic entanglement between the two of them.

    1 year old female

    Charbonner (pronounced "shar-bone-ay") means "charcoal" in French. This artistic kitty loves to draw with charcoal and graphite. She makes beautiful black-and-white portraits and landscapes, but her absolute favorite thing to draw are still-lifes.

  • Hart

    1 year old male

    Hart is fascinated by the variety of ecosystems that exist in this world. He's especially amazed by rainforests, and has been studying the southern Appalachian temperate rainforest located right here in our backyard. Did you know that this region receives up to 100 inches of rainfall annually? It's one of the most biodiverse places in the whole world! That means a lot more critters for Hart to watch from the windowsill... could you provide a cozy spot for him to do his important research?

    Fumée (pronounced "foo-may") means "smoke" in French. As a hookah salesman, he's aptly named.

It may sound like a lucrative business, but he's made a killing!
