In the midst of the recent hurricanes that have struck the Southeast United States, a touching story has emerged from North Carolina. A family, forced to leave their damaged home after Hurricanes Helene and Milton, had to make the heartbreaking choice to give up their three beloved cats because they couldn’t find a shelter that allowed pets.
The trio—Big O, AKU, and Courage—are three orange cats who have been inseparable companions. With no other options available, the family entrusted them to the Humane Society of Catawba County. “They were heartbroken to surrender them,” the shelter shared in a Facebook post.
Described as “the sweetest, most loving cats,” these feline friends have formed a deep bond that the shelter is committed to preserving. Rather than separating them, the humane society is seeking a special family willing to adopt all three so they can “continue their lives together, just as they’ve always been.”
A heavily pregnant calico cat was abandoned in a plastic bin bag, left to die alone and in agony. Tragically, the cat went into labor before she passed, but none of her kittens survived. Sign this petition to urge authorities to investigate this heartless act!
“Please help us by sharing their story and finding them the home they deserve,” the Humane Society of Catawba County wrote. “Let’s give these three beautiful souls a chance to stay together and be loved for the rest of their lives.”
All three cats are three years old and are currently located in Hickory, North Carolina, about half an hour from Charlotte. If you have room in your heart and home for this loving trio, you can find more information and submit an application on the shelter’s adoption page.
