Meet Samson, now Ernie! 🐾 ❤️

This handsome and shy 2-year-old cat came into our care at the end of September after being surrendered by his owner. He found his way to foster care, where he had time to blossom and find his courage. Within two weeks, he was venturing out, exploring his surroundings, and snuggling up with his fosters at night. After a month, he was ready to return to FHS and find his forever home.

Samson returned to FHS for one week, where his shyness resurfaced, and his shelter anxiety crept back in. His quiet, timid demeanor captured the heart of his new mom, who felt he just needed a calm and loving home to thrive. She could not have been more right! Swipe through the pictures to read more from his mom about how he’s adjusting.

➡️ Stories like Samson's remind us of the impact love and patience can have on animals in need. We are so thrilled he’s found his perfect match! To support more stories like his, please consider donating at forsythhumane.org/donate-now.

Mighty Mouser alert! ➡️ 🐭 Everyone, meet Lily! 🌸

This sweet 4-year-old girl came to us from Asheville Humane Society on a transport following Hurricane Helene. In September, she was surrendered to AHS as an outdoor cat alongside her sister, Amber. The two spent time in foster care, learning the ropes of indoor life and enjoying some of the finer things—warm beds, cozy spaces, and lots of love. 🐾

While Amber has adjusted to indoor life and is currently available for adoption, Lily has made it clear that she thrives outdoors and isn’t happy being inside. She’s a free spirit who would be happiest as a mighty mouser, helping keep barns, workshops, or other outdoor spaces critter-free. 🐈

➡️ Lily is looking for a safe, loving outdoor home where she can roam, explore, and do what she loves most. She’ll need proper shelter, food, water, and someone to care for her! If you have room in your heart (and outdoor space) for this independent girl, Lily could be the perfect addition to your life! 💕

Meet Pera! 🌸

Pera is a sweet 5-year-old girl with a lot of love to give. She came to us from the Asheville Humane Society following Hurricane Helene but has been searching for her forever home since May. We want to share more about her to give her the best shot at forever! 🐾❤️

➡️ Pera is the sweetest dog. After snuggling up in bed for the night, she will wake you up with cuddles and kisses. She loves playing fetch with her tennis ball and tug-of-war. Pera also loves plush toys but often plays her own " deconstruction " game with the less durable stuffies.

➡️ Pera thrives as the center of attention and would do best as the only dog in the home. She loves people but can get overstimulated in noisy environments or when too many people are around. She’s fully house- and crate-trained, and there have been no accidents or destructive behavior in her foster home!

➡️ Pera is a mix of chill and active—she loves lounging in sunny spots but also enjoys playtime and exercise. She’s a strong, curious girl who would thrive in a home with a fenced yard or someone committed to keeping her active. She gets very excited to see other dogs and squirrels while on walks but can be easily redirected with treats.

If you know someone that would be a perfect match for Pera, or you think it might be you, apply to adopt her at 4881 Country Club Rd. We can't wait for this girl to find the loving home she deserves. Share this post to help us find Pera her perfect match!
