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.

Pepper
10 month old female
Pepper does a lot of neighborhood crime-fighting here in West Asheville, but in her down time, she’s started developing a line of really yummy eclectic ice creams. Some of her best flavors are tuna, salmon, and chicken.
-

Sombra
2 year old male
Sombra, much like his name, exists like the sun behind a cloud or cloaked in shadow. He's one big ol' boi who was living a life of adventure before coming to HBCM. He's a bit of an enigma and fancies himself as man of mystery. What he will decide his future to be like is yet to be determined.
-

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!

Glinda
6 month old female
BONDED W/ ELPHABA
Glinda, much like her sibling, has great aspirations but is still working on shoring up her confidence. While she has a tendency to view the world through rose-coloured glasses, and perhaps a tad bit gullible, we have absolute faith in her and her sister to accomplish great things that make the world a better place.
-

Elphaba
6 month old female
BONDED W/ GLINDA
Elphaba has big ambitions for making the world a better place, but unlike her namesake, is unwilling to go along the "no good deed goes unpunished" ideology. Instead, she has serious plans for elevating felines and humans alike to be the best they can be--whether they like it or not! Elphaba is truly a force of nature.
