Petite, affectionate survivor looking for someone to celebrate life with! My name is Chili and I’m a 5-month-old kitten girl in search of a serious relationship. I was found wandering alone with a broken leg, but a Good Samaritan brought me to CARE. The kind folks here repaired my leg and, through it all, I never lost my purr. I’m now on the road to a full recovery and am ready to plant roots with that special someone. I am loving, cuddly and lots of fun. Imagine us snuggling together on the bed, exchanging kisses, talking about life over catnip and kitty treats. Interested? Let’s plan a first date: just call Coastal Animal Rescue Effort (CARE) at 910-256-2624 and ask for me. We can chat about ourselves over the phone, then arrange a meeting for some one-on-one time. Michael Cline Photography has my deepest gratitude for putting me on the path to true love with my cover photo.

After antibiotics and healing time, my foot now works well. My name is Sugar Bear and I am 2-years-old. I have a very sweet personality. My favorite hangout is near or on my foster mom or other human, and I am happy to sit near a friendly, well-behaved dog after getting properly introduced.
