Two curious kittens, soaking up the scent of fresh Spring air. Their laser-focused eyes track every fluttering bird, as they daydream of the day they’ll have a cozy forever home to call their own.

Will you adopt me?

We took this handsome boy, Sami, in from our local Derby Cats, and he was incredibly shy. For two weeks he would run and hide from us finally letting his guard down after watching his siblings happily interact with us.

One baby step at a time, and, now he crawls up onto our laps with those big white paws and purrs a strong sense of contentment. Oh, and his meow! So, so gentle as he looks straight into our eyes to have a conversation. What a sweetheart!!

With the time change for us here in the U.S. and the beautiful Spring weather, I feel a bit like Minnow, Zeb and Jewel in these photos. After a nice lunch, we’re ready to be kissed by the sunshine as we melt into our favorite spots for a nap! 😴

How are you all feeling?

We haven’t been as present as I like us to be, and I want to share with you why that is. Upon moving into our new home one year ago today, this kind neighbor, Helen, came to our door to welcome us. Quickly uncovering our shared love of felines, we became fast friends. When she found herself in the hospital with an infection last summer, we began taking over the care for her two elderly cats, Rascal and Tigger. Twice a day since then, we’d visit, feed the boys, clean litter boxes and give some love. Tigger received belly rubs, his favorite kind of pet, and food-driven Rascal was more interested in wet food and treats. He began waiting near the front door daily for us.

They have since been humanely euthanized after discovering cancer and other ailments and their presence was missed in Helen’s home.

All the while we cared for them, Helen shared wonderful tales of her past adventures and we learned how to clean anything with nature-friendly solutions. She made us laugh often. Through breaking her hip, going to rehab, coming home to then getting pneumonia and Covid, she has displayed great strength and a strong will. It has been inspiring to be in her presence and to now be here for her (and her family) in her final days.

She will be missed greatly.

Jewel: A Gentle Soul in Search of a Forever Home

Yesterday marked a full year that Jewel has been with us, patiently waiting for the right person to see her for the wonderful cat she is. She’s a shy girl, and like many shy cats, she tends to hide when new people come around. But if you’ve ever had a reserved kitty, you know that doesn’t mean she lacks love—it just means she shows it in her own quiet way.

Jewel would thrive in a calm, peaceful home with a patient adopter who understands her need for a little space. She’s not the type to demand constant attention, but she’ll be the perfect companion for someone who enjoys the quiet presence of a feline friend. Imagine curling up on the couch with her while watching TV, sharing moments of quiet companionship.

She’s looking for a home with a kindhearted couple or individual, without children or other pets, where she can truly relax and blossom. For the right person, Jewel will be a deeply rewarding, healing presence—a loving companion who will be forever grateful for a second chance.

We know her perfect family is out there. Please share to help Jewel find the home she deserves! ♥️🐾♥️

Your turn Friends! What’s the first Caption that comes to mind for Kamila? 😻

Whether you provide DIY Scratchers, Cat trees with built-in Scratchers, Scratching pads for the horizontal feline scratchers, lounge/bed scratchers, or others, a combination of these scratching solutions ensures kittens and adult cats have enrichment, exercise, and stress relief. In short, they prevent destructive behaviors while promoting positive interactions. 🌟

Minnow adores this lounge scratcher and mostly uses it to curl up and sleep! The tiny kittens love to bat a small ball around in it where it rolls up, down and around like a skateboarder. Their favorites to scratch are the built-in scratch posts on cat trees. 🐾

So, we’re curious…. what types of scratchers do your cats prefer?

How can Kamila get anymore adorable?! Calling all cuddle bug love magnets! You don’t yet know what you’re missing.

At any time of the day, Sami can often be found chilling in the window seat.

During daylight hours, he loves to watch wildlife as he basks in the sunshine. This particular evening, he was showing off his yoga moves and adorable long white leg.

He’s a handsome, sweet fella… waiting for his forever family. 😻

An article published in The Modern Cat magazine reveals research on the personalities of cats. Through a study, researchers discovered a set of personality traits they refer to as The Feline Five - Neuroticism, Extraversion, Dominance, Impulsiveness, and Agreeableness.

The article goes on to say, “By assessing a cat’s personality, we gain a greater understanding of who it is, what its likes and dislikes are, and are therefore able to better set up the environment and interact in a way that suits each individual cat, thus maximizing their physical health and mental wellbeing.”

Zeb is seesawing the Neuroticism and Extraversion Personalities! Want to know your cats’ personality type? Take the quiz, and share with us what personality type/s they are! https://moderncat.com/articles/take-this-cat-personality-test/

To wake up each morning to the presence of a feline - their light and aliveness - is our example of what it feels like to wake up to our higher selves.

We’re all connected and supporting each other to return to the truth of who we are. Sometimes it’s another human that opens that door; at other times, it’s an animal friend.

I believe that’s why I hear over and over from our adopters, “I thought I was saving a kitten, but she/he was saving me”. 💫

Welcome Back Kamila!! 💗

Everything always works out for the best, and, even though you’re no longer with the family who adopted you, we trust you’re on the right path toward your forever home. Your sweet brother, Levi, is still here - maybe you were meant to be adopted together all along! Soon enough, you’ll be reunited; but, for now, get cozy and settled into your own space.

You’re as adorable as ever! 😻

Caturday Update on sweet Kiki (now, Hazel)! 🧡🩶🌟

She was adopted around Christmas and is very loved by her whole furever family! Looks like she has bonded with her canine buddy and protector. We’re so happy to receive this update, for she clearly looks content.
Thank you to ALL of our adopters for opening your hearts and homes for these special beings!

21/02/2025

Zeb warms our hearts every day. He has started gifting us with a greeting of the sweetest meow when we walk into the Cat Room, and he’s so adorable to watch as he moves from toy to cat tunnel to cat tower with boundless energy.

Did we mention his sea glass eyes?! Heavenly…

Nahimana Forest Animal Sanctuary

We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization in the state of North Carolina, dedicated to serving the needs of abandoned/neglected animals. Though our initial focus is rescuing and providing adoptive services for kittens, our future expansion will allow us to work with other domesticated and, some, farm animals. Additionally, we maintain a Certified Wildlife Habitat on our 22 acres of forest land.

Because we are all connected at the deeper part of our existence, our service for animals and the land stems from our messages of the worthiness of all living creatures and ways in which we are bound together. We complete the circle of this sanctuary as licensed foster parents for girls who have experienced neglect, by providing the opportunity for shared healing, respect, and responsibilities for, and with, animals and nature.
