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.

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.

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!
-

Skid
7 month old male
Skid's favorite hobby is ghost-hunting. He likes going to old creepy buildings with his EMF detector, spirit box, and thermal imaging camera, and seeing what he can find. Just last week, he went to the Omni Grove Park Inn, and met a few interesting spectres. Everyone has heard the legend about the Pink Lady, but I bet you didn't know she's allergic to cats. She tried to sneak up on Skid, but she couldn't be stealthy enough because she kept sneezing.

Gypsy Queen
1 year old female
Gypsy Queen, named after the fabulous West Asheville restaurant, is a queen in every sense of the word. She raised two litters of kittens, back-to-back, and is officially out of the childrearing business now that her babies are old enough to be out on their own. She is considering a career in sex education & reproductive health.
-

No Bond
7 month old female
No Bond cannot be released from jail no matter how much money she tries to use to bribe the humans involved in her case. All they do is ask her, "Where did you get this money from?" and "This money could be held up as evidence in court." Stupid humans! Just take it and let her out! And yes, No Bond did in fact rob a bank at the ripe age of 3 weeks old, but she's just a little baby so she should be let off the hook.
-

Draven
8 month old male
Draven is one big ol' panther man who has his own agenda that largely revolves around the best creature comforts life has to offer--like basking on the hearth from the radiant heat of a cheerful fire while absorbing the ambience of lo-fi playing in the background. While he has yet to settle on a career path, he could easily find his place in the world as a demotivational speaker. His tag line: How to do less and still be adored.

-

Moira
6 month old female
BONDED WITH JANINE
Moira, much like her sister, is also a strong advocate for cats rights. However, she has decided the best way to garner support for their shared cause is to deliver a quaint and charming performance. Moira is willing to go anywhere and do nearly anything to convince folks that they should support equal rights for cats!
