The Goathouse Refuge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill animal sanctuary located in Pittsboro, NC, dedicated to providing cage-free care for cats regardless of age, medical issues or disposition until a permanent, loving home can be found. The cats are housed in a studio building and are free to roam among the artists, staff, volunteers and visitors in a 1 acre, cat-safe enclosure. The refuge is a

safe haven for cats who would have been euthanized in over-crowded shelters, for cats that have been considered "un-adoptable," and for cats that were unwanted or abandoned. Please check out our website, featuring our adoptable cats! We are always looking for volunteers to lend a hand. If you have photos of a cat or cats you adopted from the refuge, please feel free to add them. We love seeing the kitties happy in their new forever homes.

Sweet little Jinx was born at the Goathouse Refuge along with 5 siblings: Ruby, Onyx, Sapphire, Jasper, and Rory. Their mom is Kira and she is a beautiful dilute tortie. Jinx would love to be adopted with one of his siblings so that he always has a playmate and buddy. Once he has been fully vetted, he will be ready for his forever home!

Meet Murakami (Muri for short), a friendly and loving calico gal. Muri loves attention: she likes to roll around and invite you to pet her belly, then playfully wriggles just out of reach so you have to keep following her around. Be prepared for gentle cues from Muri when she hasn't been petted in a bit: she will reach out and gently tap you with her paw to remind you she needs some attention. Once she adjusts to her new home, she will likely want to sleep beside you, or at least right next to the bed. Her favorite
toy is the laser pointer, but she also likes to chase around headlights coming in through the windows! She also enjoys gazing out windows and making cute chirping noises at the birds outside. Muri has been returned twice by separate adopters due to aggression towards other pets in the home, so she needs to be an only-cat. If you are looking for a sweet, charming kitty to be the queen of your world, then you simply must meet sweet Murakami!

As this year draws to a close, you have one more opportunity to make a year-end gift donation to help the Goathouse kitties.

There are so many cats in need and we do all that we can to help as many as we can.

We have kittens that now have a chance at a safe, happy, and loving life. We have special needs cats that would not have made it out of the kill shelters if the Goathouse had not stepped up to help them. We have senior kitties who lost their families, and we have some semi-feral kitties who have been with us for years.

All of these cats are deserving of a chance to live out their lives happy and cared for. That’s our mission but it takes money to make that happen every month. Please join us and be part of something special. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Goathouse Friends,
We know many of you are located all across the country, so we want to make sure you are aware of the bird flu that has killed 20 big cats, including a tiger, and now has killed 5 pet cats, 4 from raw milk, and 1 from the raw food. There is a pet food recall by Northwest Naturals and veterinarians and health officials are recommending to keep your cats inside and not to feed raw food right now in order to cut out the severe risk to your kitty. β™₯️

The voluntary recall prompted Los Angeles health officials to warn residents against feeding raw food to their pets.
