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.

  • Mary-Kate

    3 year old female

    ADOPTION PENDING

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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!
