MEET OUR ADOPTABLE PANTHERS

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.

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!

BONDED WITH SHOSHANNA

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. The theatrics would be great for publicity!

BONDED WITH MARNIE

Shoshanna has spent her whole kittenhood following the rules, but she's ready to break free from this rigid lifestyle and start taking some risks! She's been thinking about bleaching her hair and moving to Japan, maybe working at a cat café over there. The world is her oyster, and she's ready to find the pearl!

9 month old female

Lasagna is a board game lover. Shoots and ladders, monopoly, the game of life, she can't get enough! She recently found a book of card games that someone left behind in the lounge, and she's been studying it so that she can have the upper hand when she challenges the other cats to some new games. She has a reputation to uphold!

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! So, he came to House of Black Cat Magic to study the handiwork of Kate Benjamin, who designed the cat lounge. He's hoping to collab with her on a line of cat trees someday soon!

1 year old female

Astoria came to us with a litter of two, and now she's ready for her fledglings to leave the nest. It's time for Astoria to embark on a new adventure, and the possibilities are endless! Maybe she'll learn how to fly a plane, or enroll in fashion design school, or maybe she'll start an underground mice fighting ring... is that ethical? Astoria will need a nice human to guide her through this new stage of life and make sure she stays out of trouble. Could that be you?!

After raising a litter of 4, Mooncake is totally pooped. She's been thinking about buying a timeshare in the Bahamas so that she can finally just relax! Picture it: a plush towel laid atop soft sand, a human servant bringing her a pint of iced catnip tea, the sound of the ocean surrounding her as she sprawls out in bliss! She would also settle for a cozy couch with beach sounds playing on a white noise machine, as long as the human providing this environment for her still waits on her like she's royalty.

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. She loves to create crazy scenes of mouse toys suspended in midair and kibble waterfalls into Churu pools! It's hunger-inducing hard work.

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?

5 month old male

Frêne (pronounced "frenn") means "ash" in French. This greybie has a passion for being in the wilderness. He goes camping every chance he gets, and he always tries to invite his brother, Fumée, but he's not interested in being outside with creepy crawly bugs! Frêne loves exploring the woods, though, and no rock is left unturned when he's around.

5 month old male

Fumée (pronounced "foo-may") means "smoke" in French. As a hookah salesman, he's aptly named. He travels around the country with his stock of ornate glass-blown hookah vessels and premium catnip blends, and sells them at whatever local markets he finds. It may sound like a lucrative business, but he's made a killing!
