Fancy Cats & Dogs is a nonprofit organization run by volunteers, with the purpose of rehoming cats that need it. A lot of these cats have been through hard times, so we do our best to make sure to match up every cat with the right human(s) for them. We are a 501(c)(3) charity and our money comes from donations so anything that you can do to help is immensely appreciated (United Way #98772)

🥰 MEET SWEET WILMA AND PETER 🥰

Don’t forget our sweet senior pair, Wilma & Peter! Don’t remember them? We’ll happily tell you all about them! A lovely pair of cats who found respite in a foster home, they are ready to find that “just right” place to call theirs forever!

Wilma (Tabby) really appreciates being spoken to and doted on. She is the shy one of the pair and it should be expected it to take several weeks before she is fully settled in and not hiding under the nearest bed. Your patience will be rewarded with a loving, bonded, lap kitty.

Peter (Tux) is more curious and will quickly own the home. He does look after Wilma though, making sure she is okay and helping her adjust.

They are both well mannered and affectionate. Peter likes to be held, while Wilma is your lap kitty. They are gentle cats who like to have their cheeks and backs rubbed.

They are still playful and love the chase wand toys, and occasionally each other in a fun way. They are also BIG fans of any kind of cat friendly online videos of birds and squirrels, etc. Often trying to catch the birds they see!

If you have any questions about this sweet pair, please email:

Meet one year old sisters Lemon and Lime (aka The Sprites)! Can you believe these cuties have been with us for ten months already? They’re looking for just the right cat-savvy family. Could it be yours?

Lemon has some special needs (more info on her profile and Instagram), but she doesn’t let it slow her down. She’s mostly blind, but adores her chirping spring toy and heat mat. Lemon is always circling your feet and is happy to sit on your lap for a good cuddle. She gives kisses for belly rubs!

Lime is the more shy sister, and requests a quieter household without small children. Once she chooses you as her person, though, she is one of the sweetest kittens you’ll ever meet! We love her fluffy, confident tail, and watching her look out at the birds and squirrels. She loves her cat dancer, and will happily pounce it for as long as you’re up for playing!

Lemon is on instagram using the hashtag , and Lime with . As always, their official profiles are available on fancycats.org. Please reach out if you know the purrfect home for them, and feel free to share!

Are you looking for a buddy that wants to go on adventures along with you and your other dog? Then Groot is your man. He can be very shy when he first meets you, but once you’re friends, he is all about attention and pets. Groot really needs another dog in the home.

Chloe is a medium energy girl. She’s pretty content with the basics. She’s good with a yard to play in or getting exercise via a walk. Her preferred type of marathon includes Netflix. She doesn't need a lot of walks, but is always happy to tag along.

Both are very dog friendly. Chloe is people friendly.
Groot will need time to adjust. He is apprehensive now about strangers, so he won’t be an insta-dog. He’ll reset and then be fine. Learn more about then on our website: www.fancycats.org

ADOPTION UPDATE for Grey (now Nugget)

Grey (now Nugget) is living his best life as a semi-annoying little brother and future social media star. Make sure to follow his new Insta to keep track of his and his brothers antics. Here’s a fun update from his new family: “Thanks for checking in! Grey (now Nugget) has been doing great! He sleeps with me every night, loves meeting new people, and has been getting along with his big brother Simcoe (for the most part; Nugget is still learning how to tell when Simcoe wants to be done)! I also created an instagram for Simcoe and Nugget called that I'll updating on”

Did you know black and white cats like Calvin here have an adoption fee of $100?!

Calvin has been in the shelter system for a year now! He is a great cat who is cuddly and gets along with dogs and cats alike.

Sadly, Calvin suffered nerve damage along his spine which caused him to have his tail amputated. It also means he can't always feel he has 💩 on his butt after using the litter box. This has prevented him from finding his forever home.

The good news is that Calvin will wear a diaper! But this scares off many people.

We haven't given up on Calvin because he is a good cat. He has just seen a lot of rough times and has been waiting forever for his perfect home.

Is Calvin not the right cat for you? Don't worry! We will have more black and white cats at our fairs this weekend!

🐾 Meet Coraline! 🐾

Ever wanted a cat who will welcome you home with meows and a friendly face? Ever wanted a cat with the attentiveness and friendliness of a dog? Coraline is the perfect cat for you!

Every time you come home, she'll meet you at the door with a sunny greeting and maybe even a flop on her back for pets. She will follow you into any room just to be near you and will sleep in your lap or on your legs for hours if you let her. She also enjoys being spoken to (she might even speak back!) or having podcasts on the radio. Coraline will snuggle up to anyone who sits still long enough and groom them and she will curl up next to or on top of you while you sleep. She purrs easily and has been known to snore softly while sleeping next to her human.

Coraline is a playful cat! She enjoys laser pointers, mouse toys, wands, or toilet paper rolls. She may even bring you toys if they have catnip in them. She also loves to sit by windows and watch the world go by. Coraline is a nine year old tabby in good health.

😍 Hello, I'm Miko (Mee-co)! 😍

I love to listen to violin and orchestra music, my favorite artist is Lindsey Stirling. I also enjoy watching birds from the window and like to chirp at them. I'm looking for a home where I can be the only cat and receive a lot of love. I love lying down by your feet at night and enjoy the company of humans. Please pet me during thunderstorms to calm me down; I get scared of loud noises. I also love entertaining guests by playing with my toys with them. I enjoy sleeping under the covers, especially on chilly nights. I can’t wait to meet you!

I'm house-trained, up to date on my vaccines, and neutered.

Good in a home with young and adult humans. Prefers a home without other cats or dogs.

😇 MEET KEN AND BARBIE 😇

This is rescue and it wouldn’t be possible without donations and fosters - and we need more of both!

They say Love sees with the heart and not the eyes. This is the case for this sweet pair of kitties.

Meet Ken. He and Barbie were rescued just in time! While sister Barbie was in rough shape, she was doing better than Ken who had a ruptured eye which needed to be removed.

We immediately got him to a specialist who wanted to wait until he was a little older and heavier before the procedure.

They both settled into their foster home where their foster mom played with them, and loved on them and gave Ken as much food as his little belly could handle so he was all plumped up for his eye removal surgery :)

Ken is now pain free, they are both healthy and happy and ready for their forever home.
Barbie is another set of eyes for Ken and as a bonded pair they will need to stay together❤️

We couldn’t do this without help. Please consider supporting our important work!

And check them out on our website to learn more and how to apply for adoption.

Calvin is here to let you know that it is Clear the Shelters weekend! Cats like him, cats that are 4 months and older, have an adoption fee of $100!

Calvin has been featured multiple times, but he is still waiting for his perfect person.

Calvin has survived:
- multiple 💩 parasites
- calicivirus that sent him to the ICU
- nerve damage in his tail that caused it to have to be amputated
- being a ginger cat in a tuxedo body

Calvin needs:
- someone who understands his nerve damage can cause him to sometimes get 💩 stuck on his butt even though he always uses the box
- no small children as sometimes he thinks you're a cat when he plays
- someone who loves hot messes as Calvin has a first class ticket for the hot mess express

He does get along with cats and dogs or he can be solo. Regardless, Calvin has been waiting for his special human for nearly a year now.

Calvin not your guy? That's okay! We have a lot more cats ready to go home! Check out our website for our available cats and when our adoption fairs are this weekend so you can come meet some of them ❤️

😘 SPECIAL REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL DOG - INDIE 😘

Indie is a two-year-old, female, terrier mix who has had a rough start to life and desperately needs a loving and patient forever home.

Indie's story began when her previous owners abandoned her at home, leaving her to fend for herself when they stopped paying rent and moved away. When Indie first arrived at our shelter, she was visibly terrified and though didn't show aggression, tried to avoid any interaction with humans. However, with time she has made incredible progress and now craves affection from staff, seeking it out frantically when we approach her. She moves around so fast that it was hard getting a good picture of her goofy self.

While Indie has shown affection towards us, we have faced other challenges. Due to her past experiences, she seems to be very afraid of leashes and is not comfortable being walked yet. Indie lived with other dogs before coming to us, so we believe there's a possibility for her to coexist peacefully with other furry companions in the right environment.

We understand that taking in a dog like Indie requires a patient and understanding individual or family. Her past trauma has left some marks on her behavior, but we firmly believe that with the right guidance and support, she can flourish and become an incredible companion. Indie needs someone who can offer her a safe and loving environment where she can heal from her past and learn to trust again.

If you are interested in showering love to sweet Indie through fostering or even adopting, please feel free to contact Yadkin County shelter. You can reach out to them directly at 336-849-7901 option 2, voicemails are more than welcome if needed.

If you are interested in fostering, please feel free to fill out our volunteer form:

😇 MEET OUR AFFECTIONATE, SWEET BOY - BRIMLEY 😇

Brimley is an affectionate boy who loves to be brushed and treats. He is litter box trained and is meticulous with his grooming. He is good about not scratching the rug, walls or furniture. He is equally comfortable in his bed or yours and is a quiet sleeper.

He would make a good addition to any family who is looking for a low key cat who is not needy.

He has only been in his foster's home for a week. However, he has settled in quickly, like right out of his crate quick!

Take a look at this sweet, loving boy who could easily be your furrever pal!

😍 HI HOOMANS, MY NAME IS DAFFY! 😍

I'm an energetic and playful youngster who loves to have fun and be around others (humans or other cats/dogs). I love to play, cuddle and purr. I don't mind to be picked up and can even enjoy to sit in your arms for a little bit. I am also very gentle; I will never use my claws when playing or cuddling with you. I am very well behaved - I use my litter box, love to rest at my designated place and don't do any mischievous things, except playing with all kinds of toys.

I am a foodie - love my food but because I have allergies, I need to take Zyrtec every day. This is not a problem as I just take it with my food.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you and your family, so we can enjoy many years to come!!

❤ MEET SABRINA AND LUNA ❤ LAST DAY TO ADOPT THESE TWO FOR $100/EACH, DON'T MISS OUT! ❤

Life is better with a pair of house panthers. Beautiful girls Sabrina and Luna have become besties in foster care. They are not littermates, but would like to be sisters for life.

They are ready to go home today! They can be picked up from their foster’s home in Sterling.

Sabrina likes snuggles, belly rubs, and battling with her foster siblings. She is a little older and bigger than Luna. Wherever Luna goes, she zooms. She is a high energy kitten that likes to fall asleep in your lap when she’s worn herself out.

Sabrina is about 15 weeks old, and Luna is about 13 weeks old. They each have a microchip, have tested negative for FIV/FELV, have been dewormed, and have been vaccinated for distemper.

If you need more information, or are interested in adopting, please reach out to their foster, Megan Irene, through FB Messenger or on Instagram .

I am looking for a lovable Great Dane.

Having explored the online adoption organizations, although there are no concerns about our being approved for an adoption, we have yet to find the right fit. The Great Dane that joins our family MUST be very friendly to every person and cat he/she meets. Personality is hard to discern in a posting. You know your Great Dane best.

But, I must be frank. If you are looking to make a profit on such an adoption, please do not contact us and no breeders please. If your Great Dane is friendly to a fault, healthy and under the age of three; if you are the kind of person who would never send your buddy to the SPCA, but would consider another, loving forever home, please please contact us.

We are life-long dog owners, can afford to care for him properly, have numerous vet and people references, are home 24/7 and willing to make him the focus of attention. We live on a farm with a horse boarding stable. I can assure you, there is soooo much love here between our home and stable families that whomever we adopt will be well socialized, doted-over and loved. But, the fit must be right for a successful adoption.
No, the picture is not of me. I just like the picture : )
Thanks for your consideration.
Is Barley still available? He’s so adorable ☺️🥰Pet ID # 2021-0327
Ever thought about fostering but don’t think you would be able to let your foster go on to his/her new home?
Try looking at the process with a different perspective. I thought this way once as well but hundreds of fosters later I am so glad I gave it a try! There are few things more rewarding, so if you think you can’t, think again.
(This video may be about kittens but it’s just as true for adult fosters.)
Did you know that all our cat age 8+ are fee waived this month? Here is a link to all of them, so many to choose from!

Good afternoon,

I would like to obtain information about rehoming my purebred seal point Siamese cat, Oliver. He will be turning 5 years old this August and is in good health. Oliver is an indoor cat, declawed, and neutered. He does not get along with our other cat and would be best suited in a new home with only adults and no other pets. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Your webpage is down, so I was hoping to get assistance through your page.

Thank you,

Caroline
Good morning, just thought of sharing this here in hopes to find anew home and/or financial support for Melanie.
In the summer of 2002, I was at the Fair Lakes Petsmart getting litter for my kitty at home. An adoption fair was going on at the time, so I stopped by for a quick peek. I found a fluffy grey tuxedo kitten staring at me. I stuck my finger in the cage to pet him, and he licked it. He melted my heart. I submitted all of the adoption paperwork and was approved!

The story I was told upon adoption was that his original name was "LuLu". He was thought to be a girl because they couldn't find his boy bits in all of his fluff! Once discovered, it was shortened to "Lu".

Lu affectionately became Luey and over the years acquired many nicknames. Licky Lu, Loogie Woogie, which then morphed into Boogie Woogie, and Boog for short. Quite often I still called him LuLu.

Over the years he became my welcome kitty. Any time I had visitors, he was there to welcome them. The licking never did stop and was one of the things he always did when he would greet someone; give them a quick little lick and then nudge them for a head rub. I think it was his own way of saying "hi". Unfortunately, the downside of the licking, he did lick *everything*; from the walls, to the furniture, to the floor! If it wasn't moving, it would get licked!

He was a gentle soul, and didn't like fighting or scuffling with his brothers. He was a typical cat in the affection department. He only wanted it when *he* wanted it, and did not like to be held, at all.

In 2017, at the age of 15 he was diagnosed with kidney disease as so many kitties are. It was well managed with diet and routine checks with the Dr. Then in 2019, at the age of 17 he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. Something else that we couldn't treat, but only manage. All the while, he was acting like everything was fine. Of course, he did start to slow down a bit, but anyone that saw him thought he was only 10! In February, things took a turn, when we discovered he had a cracked molar. At this point, he was 18, and the Dr's weren't sure if he would make it through surgery due to his age and existing health issues. He made it through, like the fighter that he was. Unfortunately, during the surgery the Dr discovered cancer in his jaw. The location and his age made it impossible to treat. I was just hoping that he would make it to his 19th birthday, and he miraculously did! He healed fairly well from the tooth extraction, but the cancer really took hold in the last several weeks. His quality of life diminished significantly so yesterday I made the decision to ease his pain.

He was with me through so many life milestones, and nearly half of my life. I wanted to take a moment to honor him and to thank Fancy Cats & Dogs Rescue Team for giving me the opportunity to be his Mom. We had an amazing 19 years together. I will miss you always, my LuLu.
Who says you can't get a purebred from a shelter or rescue?

Adoption Pupdate #2:
"Bo (now Peanut) is doing so well! He loves his big sister, Violet, and his human brother and sisters. He's not so sure about the cat, but they have a good working relationship.

He's a super cuddle bug, total beagle (we had his DNA tested and he is 100% beagle!), and loves everyone he meets. He is great about asking to go outside to go potty and using the doggie door, still is working on not chewing things he is not supposed to, but overall such a great boy."
Just wanted to give you an update on Mick and Cartney (now Martin and David). They've settled in well here, and even tolerate our toddler well. Their favorite time, though, is when the kids are off to bed and can receive as much attention as they want from the adults. They're purrfect additions to our crazy family.
LORD OF THE FOSTE-RINGS!
Bilbo (10), Samwise (9) Gandalf (10), Diva (6) and Betty Davis (7) have just arrived, are in need of foster homes. They were surrendered to a shelter when their owner passed away. Because they are comfortable together, they can go in pairs or a trio, or not.

Our work strongly relies on the kindness of foster families, and there are always, always more animals than fosters. If you want to feel like a hero and help out a homeless kitty, please apply here:

Aw, if he isn't the cutest! Another adoption update.

"Chewy is doing great and we love him so much! After we adopted Chewy we changed his name to Lucky. We felt like it was the perfect name - we were lucky to have him and he was lucky to find a home through you.

Lucky is so sweet and loves to sit in our laps even though he doesn’t fit very well anymore. He’s only about 13 pounds but he is growing tall and has long legs that prance when he walks. Lucky has had training and he does really well except when he is distracted (usually by leaves). On his first day here he took over our son’s beanbag. He has his own bed but during the day he still likes taking naps in it. He’s pretty smart too- we gave him a dog puzzle but he figured it out too soon. We’ll have to find one a little more challenging. He’s healthy and happy! 🙂"
So many great adoption updates this week, we couldn't choose, so don't mind us while we show you more success stories!

"Albert and Darwin are now Huck and Finn. The boys are enjoying their new home and have some pretty hysterical antics. They are a great pair of goofballs, very smart and full of s***k but also lovable, and they are growing like weeds. They love sitting at the front storm door and watching the world go by or sitting in the windows watching birds and squirrels. Otherwise they are running through the house chasing each other or toys."
