March 16, 2026 Lilac is adopted by her Foster parents! We have foster failures among us & I couldn’t be happier!!!
Laura & Jim have been fostering our adorable little LILAC, the kitten I pulled from Duplin County pound. It was a fluke and a long story about how I got involved with this rescue, but I’m so glad I did! Read this story dated Dec. 14, 2025 below!
Laura is recovering from her 2nd hip replacement surgery & she is doing well. We miss her at FURR, but we know she will be back when she is able.
Meanwhile, Laura & Jim have fallen in love with Lilac and Lilac loves the dogs and all the other cats!
These pictures are priceless, and the one with 4 kitties (ALL adopted from FURR!!!) are sitting with Laura in her bedroom, is just heart warming!
Laura & Jim now have FOUR adopted FURR cats (photo above), 1 other cat & 2 rescued dogs!
I’m so happy for Lilac! Thank you Laura & Jim for deciding to keep her & give her a loving home! CONGRATS LAURA & JIM! LOVE these pictures!
Feb. 26, 2026 – New playful photos of sweet, pretty Lilac!
Dec. 14, 2025 Yesterday I received several phone calls & emails about a kitten at animal control. Many Rescue groups had been called & all were full. I do not normally pull from animal control because I have such a waiting list of cats needing rescue right here in Hampstead.
It looked like this kitten was doomed, so I agreed to take it & put it in the only space I had: the small people bathroom at FURR.
Kristy, a FURR Volunteer, drove to the animal control (which was out of town for me & a little closer to her) and she got the kitten. I met her & picked it up.
Well, low & behold, it’s just about the cutest darn thing ive ever seen & just as sweet. At only 8 weeks old, i was amazed at her happy ways!??
The kitten, named LILAC, stayed at FURR last night. Thanks to Laura & Jim, the kitten now has an amazing foster home.
I was quite hesitant about handing this tiny, “purrfect” baby over. Just seeing this kitten you’re smitten! She won’t last long before being adopted!
