Charlotte, NC - Both of these gorgeous felines need a home where they can be cherished as the "only" pet. They were bullied in previous homes and are now afraid of other animals but will be ideal companions.

Their ages are reversed in the OP - Max on the left is 9 years and Sophie is 5 years.

If they are not the right kitties for you, PLEASE SHARE to help them find their happy landing.

This heat wave is going to be extremely dangerous for animals and people. This gives some great tips if you are feeding outdoor kitties. The water bowl applies for all animals - deep and no metal bowls! If you can freeze water bottles and drop one in their water bowl, it will help keep it cool. If you have bird baths, be sure to change the water daily. Thank you for caring about all the animals ❤️

🔥There's an EXTREME HEAT WARNING starting and going into next week in our area.

☀️Remember your outdoor friends! 🐱

The extreme heat of summer can leave you wondering about the best ways to care for outdoor cats.

✨️ Pro Tips ✨

• Place water bowls in shaded areas.🌳
• Use a water bowl that is narrow but deep.💧
• Add ice or a frozen water bottle to keep it cool. Refresh EACH day. 🧊
• Don’t leave food out for too long. After about 30 minutes, bugs will start to show up. 🐜
• Dry food in hot weather draws fewer insects. If you give wet food, add water to keep it from drying out & remove after 30-45 mintues. 🍮
• Invest in an ant-proof bowl, or you can create your own “ant barrier” by surrounding the feeding bowl with FOOD-GRADE diatomaceous earth or by creating a moat.💡
• If you perform TNR during extreme temperatures, be very cautious -- keep the cat in the shade with a trap cover and then move the cat into an air-conditioned space. 🪤🐈‍⬛
• NEVER leave cats in a car while trapping! 🚗
• Don’t place traps on surfaces that get extremely hot from the sun, such as asphalt. The metal can absorb the heat and burn the cat’s paws. ♨️

✨️If you see a stray or feral cat in distress or injured, please reach out to the appropriate authorities. Animal Control should assist with untouchable or dangerous cats who are injured or ill. If deemed okay to handle, please take the cat to your vet or the nearest emergency or urgent veterinary clinic.

⚠️ Do not assume that rescues and shelters can take in any cat that you find. Everyone is full and limited on responses for time sensitive cases. Let's work together to do more! 💜

Raleigh/Apex, NC - BONDED PAIR of DECLAWED kitties need a loving new home.

Bio and rescue contact info are in the post below. Please SHARE to help these loving senior kitties find their new forever home.

💔 2 Bonded Cats Looking for Love Again 💔
Loving Foster or Adoption Home Needed! 🐾

Our hearts are heavy. After their beloved owner passed away, she left behind two very special cats who were her world. Now, we’re looking for a new forever home where they can feel safe, loved, and cherished once more—together if possible 🙏🏻.

Meet this adorable duo:

🐾 Smokey – 7-year-old Male Tabby (Declawed) 🩶
Smokey is a total sweetheart—affectionate, curious, and always close by. He’s a confident lap cat who loves companionship and cozy evenings curled up next to his person. Smokey thrives in calm, dog-free homes without small children.

🐾 Rusty – 10-year-old Orange Maine C**n (Declawed) 🧡
Rusty is the definition of a gentle giant. With his fluffy coat and laid-back charm, he’s a mellow companion who enjoys lounging and occasional playtime. He prefers a quieter home where he can relax and enjoy attention at his own pace—no dogs or small kids, please!

🐾 Ideally adopted together, but we’re open to the right homes for each if needed. They’ve lost their person and deserve a second chance at comfort, love, and stability.

📍Apex/Raleigh area
📩 Please message us if you can open your heart and home to these wonderful boys—or help by sharing this post!

Create a safe spot in your home - walk-in closet, spare room with the blinds closed, white noise such as a fan or background TV or music and their fave comfy bed/blankets. It could be a long weekend in the noise department 🙁.

Be sure to keep fresh water out for the wild animals too in this heat who also will be very stressed this weekend and many have babies they are caring for now.

Please keep your pets inside tonight - and likely all weekend - as fireworks will be rampant. July 5th is the busiest day of the year at animal shelters for lost pets who bolted due to the noise. 😌 Shelters are packed to the max already. Give you microchip company a call to verify they have your correct contact info, so if your pet is lost, and is scanned, you can be notified promptly. Stay safe and have fun.

🇺🇸 Celebrate the 4th of July with "Stars, Stripes, and Snips."

Make sure all the cats you feed and care for are 'snipped.'

Remember - if you feed 'em - fix 'em! >^,^

This is why ear tips are important.

Fireworks are starting all ready . PLEASE make sure there is ID on your cats/dogs whether they are inside or outside pets. All it takes it one BOOM with a cracked door for them to scoot out and be gone. This tip outlined below requires little to no effort.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk >^,^

Every year, the days leading up to and following the 4th of July, shelters everywhere fill up with animals frightened by fireworks. ☹️🎆
Please put a phone number on your pet. You don't have to spend any money because you likely already have these things in your home!
Grab some tape (duct tape or painters tape works great), a sharpie or an ink pen and make this minimal effort to keep your pet from ending up at a shelter.
Even if you think there's no way they can or will escape your property, just do it.
Finding a stray animal with a phone number makes it SO SIMPLE to reunite them with their owner.
Let's make a difference this holiday and keep animals from ending up at the shelter.
Lastly, Please spay/neuter your pets.
Shelters are drowning in homeless pets😔
