Independent Animal Rescue

Double the seniors, double the love! 🐾 Meet Tommy and Charlie, two incredible senior gentlemen looking for their forever couches.

While they don’t necessarily have to be adopted together, these two sweethearts prove that senior cats have the absolute best personalities.

🐱 Tommy (The Gentle Giant):
Tommy is a sweet, easy-going lovable guy who is just a little bit shy at first, but warms up in a flash. He’s on the larger side, which just means there is more of him to love! He is the ultimate companion—happy to lounge by a window watching the neighborhood "TV," bat around little toys, or crawl right into your lap for some affection. If you want a quiet, loyal buddy, Tommy is your guy.

🐱 Charlie (The Fearless Super Senior):
Charlie may be a super senior (and perhaps a little hard of hearing), but he has the spirit of a kitten! This fearless boy knows absolutely no strangers and will greet you with adorable trills and enthusiastic tail shakes—especially if you have a Churu treat handy! He is a professional snuggler who loves sleeping right beside you (or on you) and is such a trooper he’ll hop right into his carrier, ready for his next adventure.

Both of these boys are affectionate, easy-going, and so ready to find a home to grace with their golden-years wisdom.

BREAKING NEWS: Local cats have announced they're tired of paying rent in foster homes.

Their demands include:
🐟 Unlimited snacks
🛋️ Premium napping surfaces
☀️ At least one sunbeam per day
❤️ A human who thinks they're adorable

You can negotiate with them in person at our cat adoption event this Saturday, June 6, from 12–3 PM at Unleashed in Durham. Fair warning: they are experienced in emotional manipulation and may convince you that your home has been missing a cat this entire time.

See you there. The cats have prepared their cutest faces.

Shift’s official stance on : “pls come hug me (but also give me b***y pets).” 🐈‍⬛✨

This gorgeous gray and white cutie started out on the streets, but she’s officially traded the rough life for cozy sunbeams and quiet companionship. Shift is a sweet, curious, and slightly shy "personal gargoyle" who loves to perch nearby and supervise your day.

When she's not being a quiet observer, she’s a playful little sprite chasing sunbeams or showing her love by rubbing against your legs. Earning her trust is pure magic, and she’s so ready to blossom in a forever home.
