Potter and sculptor Siglinda Scarpa, a native of Italy, makes her life here with the land and many, many animals.

The Goathouse Refuge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill animal sanctuary located in Pittsboro, NC, dedicated to providing cage-free care for cats regardless of age, medical issues or disposition until a permanent, loving home can be found. The cats are housed in a studio building and are free to roam among the artists, staff, volunteers and visitors in a 1 acre, cat-safe enclosure. The refuge is a safe haven for cats who would have been euthanized in over-crowded shelters, for cats that have been considered "un-adoptable," and for cats that were unwanted or abandoned. Please check out our website, featuring our adoptable cats! We are always looking for volunteers to lend a hand. If you have photos of a cat or cats you adopted from the refuge, please feel free to add them. We love seeing the kitties happy in their new forever homes.

Ben and his brother Jerry were abandoned at the refuge when they were still very small kittens. Initially, both were very shy and skeptical of people, but with time they have gradually began to come out of their shells and let their little personalities shine through. Jerry has been adopted but Ben is still waiting for his patient person to give him a loving forever family and help him blossom.
Could you be the one he's been hoping to find? Approx. DOB: 3/1/23

Amana was found as a pregnant stray and brought to the refuge in July of 2017. She is a shy lady. She is always around when treats are given out and will follow folks and politely meow for treats. She appears to want to be friendly, but is guarded. Amana will need a patient and quiet home and family to help her come out of her shell.

This handsome boy is Donnie, one of mamma Diamond Lucy's litter of kittens born in 2017. Donnie is patiently waiting to find his purrson; he loves to explore and play, and he's usually content doing his own thing. He also enjoys attention and loves to flirt with visitors. We know that special someone is out there for our sweet boy Donnie, so come meet him and see if he's the one you've been waiting to find! DOB: 05/08/2017
