𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆! I’m Cleo, named for Cleopatra herself! I’m a beautiful adult female with striking “eyeliner” markings and a very fluffy medium-haired coat that gives me a regal, queenly look. Behind my elegant presence, I’m a wonderfully kind and gentle girl who loves sharing affection with my people. I’ve already raised two beautiful kittens, Tivali and Ramzi, and now I’m hoping for a cozy, loving home of my own. Tivali is a bit of a mama’s boy, and while I understand he may find his own perfect family, I would be delighted to be adopted with him as well. Graceful, affectionate, and playful, I’m ready to bring warmth and beauty into my forever home. I am spayed, vaccinated, litterbox-trained, microchipped and on flea prevention. To meet me, please apply on our website at www.friendsofelines.org/adopt and click on the Adoption Application tab in the lower right corner. For more information, please contact Friends of Felines by emailing [email protected] or by calling 910-232-7741. 🐾 Visit www.pawprintsmagazine.com and tap on the cover to meet other adoptable pets in our current issue.

LOST CAT, adopted from Feline Urgent Rescue and Rehab, Please Share! He is lost from the Marsh Oaks neighborhood in Wilmington, NC. He's likely in the woods & marshy area surrounded by Quinn, Trace, Vale. (houses under construction cut through) Shoals Bellhaven and Bayfield.

Jan. 5, 2026 STILL MISSING! We're looking in the March Oaks neighborhood. He's likely in the woods & marshy area surrounded by Quinn, Trace, Vale (houses under construction cut through) Shoals Bellhaven and Bayfield.

First & foremost, thank you all for your prayers & help looking for Daddy Batts (Xander). There have been no sightings of him at all and he has been gone for a week now.

It is heartbreaking for Laura, Jim & me. We all love Xander so much and he is greatly missed. We have gone above and beyond to find Xander, but could always use more help. We have posted fliers, handed out fliers & put fliers in mailboxes. I dropped off some fliers at Patti's house. Patti lives nearby and wanted to help.

If any of you have time to help look for Xander, hand out fliers or do anything to help, please let me know....but please continue praying that God is watching over him & guiding him home soon.

Thank you,
Terry

Dec. 30, 2025 URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED for Xander (a.k.a. FURR's Daddy Batts) - MISSING!!

DADDY BATTS, the beautiful feral cat that I rescued a couple years ago, has escaped his home! Three days ago, he darted out the front door in the evening; which was totally unusual for him & very sudden. Laura & Jim (devoted FURR volunteers) adopted this beautiful cat a couple years ago. They are completely distraught.

We have been searching at night with flashlights, calling him, putting fliers up everywhere & PRAYING! He has been posted on Paw Boost. Laura & Jim have followed my every instructions & we have 4 traps set around the house, a familiar carrier outside, his litter box and blankets with his smell on them.

Laura has also put Mona (another FURR rescue) in a carrier & let her cry with the porch window cracked hoping Daddy Batts would hear her (her being his best buddy).

As of 2 days ago, the animal communicator said that he was alive, nearby & not ready to come back yet. I don't know what he is thinking, but he has caused a lot of tears & we all just want him back safe! Please, everyone pray for the safe return of Daddy Batts (now called Xander).

I trapped & rescued this extremely feral cat with a front leg almost completely torn off by a coyote. Over his time to heal, he became grateful & very loving...besides being quite beautiful.

Thank you all.

Update: Adoption Pending!

𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔!
We are Teddy and Julie –
English Bulldog Besties!

If you have been dreaming of double the squishy faces, double the waddles, and double the love...look no further! We are Teddy (a boy) and Julie (a girl), an adorable bonded pair of Bulldogs who are ready to waddle our way right into someone’s heart and home. We two are inseparable: where one goes, the other is close behind. We love sunshine, snacks, short strolls, and being admired for our undeniable charm. Our hobbies include synchronized snorting, slow-motion zoomies, and giving you that classic Bulldog...seriously...more treats? stare. What we’re looking for: We need a home that will keep us together as we are a package deal. We hope you’ll appreciate our goofy, gentle Bulldog personalities and provide us with moderate exercise, couch snuggles and lots of love. Bonus points if you love wrinkly faces and drooly kisses, don’t mind a snore machine or two, and believe every day is better with a Bulldog buddy. At 1½ to 2-years-old, we are good with children, house-trained, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and we each weigh around 70 pounds. We are ready to bring joy, laughter, and companionship to the family lucky enough to call us their own. If you have room on your couch and in your heart for twice the Bulldog, we’re waiting! Apply to meet us at www.penderhumane.org or call Pender County Humane Society at 910-259-7022. 🐾 Visit www.pawprintsmagazine.com and tap on the cover to meet other adoptable pets in our current issue.

𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆! As you can see, I love playing with toys and I love making eye contact with humans. That’s a sure sign that I’m a friendly, outgoing fellow. You won’t find me hiding under the bed. I’ll be too busy snuggling up with my new family members! That’s right, I’m on the search for a lucky person or family to adopt me. I love to be petted and I also enjoy treats. At 2-years-old, I’m simply a loving boy who is neutered, vaccinated, litterbox-trained and on flea prevention. My ID number is A505110 and I’m at New Hanover Sheriff's Office Animal Services Unit in Wilmington. Adoption hours are Monday through Friday from 11am to 3:30pm and on Saturday from 8am to 11:30am. For more info, please call 910-798-7500. 🐾 Visit www.pawprintsmagazine.com and tap on the cover to meet other adoptable pets in our current issue.

𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑨𝒅𝒐𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆! Hi, my name is Beau! I lost my home when my loving owner entered hospice. My world changed suddenly but, through it all, I’ve stayed the sweetest, most gentle soul and I haven’t lost my happy spirit. At 9-years-old, I’m a 57 pound Hound dog boy who is the perfect mix of calm companion and happy-go-lucky buddy. I love curling up for movie nights, lounging nearby and sticking close to my person. Don't let my age fool you, I still have playful zoomies when you first come home and I enjoy soft toys, whether I’m entertaining myself or playing with you. I’m friendly with everyone I meet - people and pets alike. I was living with a larger dog and two cats and I’ve been great around everything, including a tiny ferret! I am house-trained, crate-trained, and incredibly easy to love. Right now, I’m healing from an ear infection and hematoma (cone and bandages are temporary!), and my coat is growing back beautifully after spending time outdoors. Adopt me and you'll gain a gentle, devoted best friend who just wants to be by your side. I am waiting in Southport, NC. To learn more or to meet me, please call Jennifer at 910-457-5051 or email [email protected]. You can complete an adoption application at this link: https://form.jotform.com/232547694860164
