Meet Edison — the quiet, gentle soul who’s been waiting over 6 months for his person.
This beautiful orange boy is FELV+, shy at first, and looking for a calm, patient home where he can finally exhale and feel safe.

Edison isn’t the cat who rushes to the front for attention… but when he learns to trust you, he becomes the sweetest, softest cuddle buddy. His love is the earn-it, treasure-it, melt-your-heart kind.

He’s been overlooked for too long — but we know his person is out there. 💛
Could it be you?

1 year ago this week, me and several others with Anderson County Emergency & Rescue Squad and some from other departments within Anderson County were deployed to Unicoi County due to the devastation from Hurricane Helene, much of the images that we seen are still with us today. So thankful for the progress that the communities around the affected areas have made this past year.
