Nahimana Kitten Rescue of New Bern, NC is searching for a foster home for this sweet 8-month-old special needs baby who is ready for a space filled with patience, routine, and love. 🖤🤍
They're building something a little different — a small, intentional circle of five foster homes where kittens like Oreo can truly thrive before finding their forever families.
Here's what that looks like for you as a foster:
✔️ They handle ALL the hard stuff first — baths, dewormer/flea meds, and the initial vet visit happen with them before any kitten comes to you
✔️ They deliver everything — food, toys, beds, litter, supplies — right to your door
✔️ They do bi-weekly home visits (so you're never on your own!) to give dewormers, take photos/videos for adoption profiles, and restock supplies
✔️ All they ask is a brief weekly text update on health and personality
✔️ Life happens — weekend trips, travel? They've got it covered. They'll bring the kittens back or place them with another foster
Your role? Simply offer consistency, a calm routine, and affection while they thoughtfully search for the right forever home. Fosters keep kittens until they're adopted, and they'd love for at least two to be fostered together — because kittens are always better in pairs. 💕
This model is designed to keep kittens in smaller, healthier groups with the socialization, care, and love they need to be truly ready for their new homes.
If this sparks something in you — even just a little curiosity — please reach out to them. They'll answer any questions and tell you more about Oreo and the work they're doing at Nahimana Kitten Rescue. 828-553-2438

Last week I stopped by the and asked if I could take a dog for a walk — that’s when I met Davey, a 6-month-old hound mix with the sweetest personality! 🐶💛

Davey was such a good boy on our walk — friendly, curious, and eager to explore (though he’s still a puppy, so he likes to pick up interesting things along the way 😅). We strolled about a mile, he did his business, and by the end he was happily tired out and ready for snuggles.

If you’re looking for a loving, happy companion, Davey’s your guy! He’s waiting at Colonial Capital Humane Society for his forever home. 🏡❤️

🚨 ATTENTION ALL DRAMA QUEEN DOGS & STAGE-5 CLINGER CATS 🚨

Has your fur baby been left home alone for more than 10 minutes?

Are they currently drafting legal action with The Pawfirm of Bacon, Treat & Goodboy?

Avoid the (888)-NOT-ALONE hotline. Hire a pet sitter instead. 😎🐾

Whether your pup requires:

Emotional support while you shower 🚿

Someone to clap after each zoomie lap 🏎️💨

Or just a personal butler to hold their treats like royalty 👑

📅 Call me to schedule their court-approved companionship - 252.499.0707

Because no pet should ever suffer the tragic injustice of being mildly unsupervised.
