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.

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.

Gorilla, having always wanted to be a denizen of the jungle, named himself after watching hours of Dian Fossey's documentaries on mountain gorillas. He felt that he was meant to be a gorilla but somehow ended up in the body of a house cat (a very large house cat). He had hoped to go live with them in the wild, but due to his slight vision impairment, he instead chose to live a more quiet life, becoming the first cat to achieve a PhD in Zoology with a focus on gorilla studies.

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!

ADOPTION PENDING

Jackdaw is wily & canny, much like the bird he is named for. He has a propensity for shiny objects, especially those that have excessive value. As a reformed jewel thief, Jackdaw only "borrows" things now rather than spiriting them away to sell to the highest bidder. He's considering opening a pawn shop that caters to cat lovers and only carries feline-related items and ephemera.

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!

Skellie is a connoisseur of oddities. She especially loves bones, of course, and she'll take home pretty much any dead animal she finds on the side of the road to preserve them (maceration of birds is her specialty). Skellie uses all the odds and ends she finds to create beautiful shadow box arrangements, which she sells at art markets in the area. If you're lucky, you might catch her at the next Magical Market!

George was in school for engineering, but he dropped out last week. He wants to do his own thing without the pressure of due dates and grades!

When you look into Moon's bright yellow eyes, it's almost like you can see the future... because you can! Moon is a psychic kitty, and not only can he give you the most accurate tarot reading of your life, he can also tell when someone is lying. He's never been wrong (and he's a horrible gossip), so be careful what you say around him!

3 year old male

Prince was once part of the royal cat family in England. He was the only one out of all his siblings and cousins born with totally black fur, and they all made fun of him for it... but, one fateful day, he saw Binx's Home for Black Cats on the news! So, he emancipated himself from his bigoted parents and made his way to Asheville, where he patiently awaits a new family that gives him the respect and love that he deserves.
