April 12, 2026 BLUE MARLIN ADOPTED…..FINALLY! HOORAY!
It’s been a long road baby! The foster parents that had BLUE FISH & BLUE MARLIN contacted me. Since our poor poor kitty, BLUE FISH, passed away, BLUE MARLIN has been so sad & depressed. MARLIN developed a UTI and had to go to the vet.
Both BLUE FISH & BLUE MARLIN had been so close and had been together for over two years.
The foster mom, shown above, had been wanting to rehome both cats for over a year now which has been very stressful for me.
The husband had gotten a large very energetic dog that wanted to chase the cats. Keeping the cats & the dog separated was causing problems. The wife wanted to keep the cats & the husband wanted to keep the new dog.
As time passed, and BLUE FISH passed away unexpectedly, BLUE MARLIN became very attached to and dependant on the wife. She gave him meds to help with his UTI and said that MARLIN was sleeping with her.
The dog had seemed to make a little progress in training & the wife and I both agreed that a rehoming for MARLIN right now would be horrible & stressful for him.
She talked with her husband & he finally agreed to let her keep MARLIN & adopt him!
March 1, 2026 PawPrints Magazine features Blue Marlin on the cover of it’s March 2026 issue!
What a handsome boy!
He’s more in need of a FURR-ever home than ever after his brother and best friend, Blue Fish, passed away last month. Read their photos and rescue story below.
Feb. 15, 2026 Sadly, BLUE FISH went to Heaven this past week.
The foster who has BLUE MARLIN & BLUE FISH called me urgently & said that BLUE FISH was struggling to breathe.
I told her to rush him to the emergency vet. BLUE FISH was checked out, had xrays & was put on oxygen.
The xrays showed his airways were blocked & his lungs were struggling. It was told to me that he would not improve. Sadly & suddenly, this precious beautiful boy had to be put to sleep.
It just rips your heart out to think about a 2 yr old kitty leaving this world so soon. He leaves behind his loving partner, Blue Marlin. The 2 cats were inseparable.
The “Blues Brothers” as I called them, have been together for 2 years. They are not really brothers and were a year apart, but they looked alike and were attached.
I asked the foster to keep me posted on how Blue Marlin was handling things, and she told me that he seemed to be ok….
Meanwhile, I have to go pick up Blue Fish’s ashes tomorrow and that will be hard.
The foster still wants to get Blue Marlin out of her house asap because of the dog that they purchased that wants to chase & possibly eat the cat.
Please say a prayer for Blue Fish who has crossed over the rainbow bridge. He was adorable, sweet & way way too young to leave this world. I am just in disbelief.
Of course, i have to pay all his bills tomorrow for private cremation & vet hospital when I pick him up. It’s just awful.
I hope we can find a home for Blue Marlin really soon. He deserves a fresh start.
2025 – Perch now lives in FURR’s Sanctuary.
September 4, 2025 These poor cats had been adopted before, by another person who loved them, and she returned them when her house was condemned. The house had a bat problem that couldn’t be fixed.
Now, BLUE FISH & BLUE MARLIN are up for adoption again. They are beautiful, soft Russian Blue mix kitties, both with a white spot on their chest.
The two brothers have the same parents, but are a year apart from 2 different litters. They came from the torn down seafood production plant where I rescued 70 cats.
These are the sweetest cats ever and are now, probably, around 5 years old. They have been through so much.

May 19, 2025 Terry has decided it’s best for Perch to remain at FURR, living our Sanctuary with plenty of FURR-friends and all the kitty comforts, so he is no longer available for adoption.
October 20, 2024 Watch Blue Marlin’s new video! How could ANYONE “NOT” want this teddy bear and possibly one of his brothers!!! This cat is like BIG pillow and soooo kind and sweet!
July 20, 2024 These two handsome brothers are doing great, having recently been returned to FURR, so once again they’re looking for a new home. Terry adopted out Perch & Blue Marlin a couple months ago, however the adopter’s situation recently changed and, sadly, they are no longer able to keep these kitties.
While Terry follows a careful, thorough process to evaluate and approve interested adopters, sometimes things just don’t work out as planned. Fortunately, FURR accepts returns of kitties originally adopted from us to ensure they never again end up where they started – homeless and in need of rescue!

I have a brother named Perch (mentioned in our Seafood Colony article) we look just alike! What’s more beautiful than a silvery smooth Russian Blue mix!!!
