Rocky relaxing – Aug 2025
December 12, 2024 Both “Cocoa”, a 6-8 month old black female, and “Rocky”, a 2 year old gray tabby male, are now fixed, microchipped, shots, blood tested, etc. Now all they need is time and patience to get them ready for an indoor homes. Watch their video!
Cocoa and Rocky 12-12-2024
We would GREATLY appreciate anyone foster home for these two since we have no where to put them but in a small cage. Both are healthy, beautiful and progressing nicely.
We did receive a donation to cover their cost (thank GOD!), so their current vet bills have been paid!!!
November 28, 2024 I successfully caught 2 feral cats early Tues am in Holly Ridge! My realtor called me because she was moving and had been feeding them. She didn’t want to just leave them behind.
I took traps to her and showed her how to set them up. The traps were left open for about a week and she fed them inside the traps to get them used to it. Tues morning early I caught them, just as planned and took them to the S/N clinic in Castle Hayne.
FURR now has “Cocoa”, a 6-8 month old black female, and “Rocky”, a 2 year old gray tabby male who has a raccoon-looking tail like the cartoon character “Rocky Racoon”.
Rocky is rescued 11-26-24Cocoa is rescued 11-26-24
My realtor had hoped to keep them at her house for recovery and I loaned her a cage, but trying to take care of these kitties and moving at the same time understandably became overwhelming! So these cats are now at the FURR Sanctuary recovering from their surgery and traumatic day! They are both beautiful and I’m at least relieved that they are safe.

Davis kitten playing – Sept 2025
September 1, 2025 New FURR rescue! Davis is an adorable 3 to 4 month old silver tabby male kitten! FUN, FUN, FUN!
My niece found this little guy almost dead in the bushes of her front yard! Anemic from hundreds of fleas, skin & bones from starvation and FULL of worms, this kitten was on his way out.
My niece’s husband wrapped him in a towel and brought him inside. I got a call and we all went to work!
After a couple weeks of meds, food and a flea bath, this little boy kitten is doing great! He is the sweetest and happiest fella!
His name is “Davis” and he is ready now for his neuter surgery!
What a great rescue!!!

September 2, 2025 See Orange Roughy’s new photo to the left perching in a cat tree.
It has now been over 3 years since these gorgeous cats, Orange Roughy and his brother Guppy, were rescued. They were just kittens when I trapped & saved them from a seafood production plant that was closing down.
The kittens had been traumatized, starved & constantly dodging massive tractor trailer trucks & equipment. They were pitiful & barely alive when I finally caught them.
These 2 brothers have come through a tremendous journey. They are both now healthy & kind, but still very very cautious especially around someone new.

We have worked hard to help them gain confidence and feel safe, but no one will adopt them or give them a chance. Most adopters are looking for a “purrfect” cat that will make themselves happy. Im looking for that selfless adopter that wants to save a life or two because that is what paying it forward & rescue work is all about.
These two beautiful sweet boys need time & love. If you think you have patience & a big heart for the not-so-purrfect cats, give me a call! As soon as you meet these precious souls, your heart will tell you what to do.
I feel so sorry for these cats after so many rescues have come & gone and they still wait for a chance of a home.
“Orange Roughy” is the big, beautiful long haired orange boy and “Guppy” is his gorgeous orange & white brother.

I pray for them every day. I know their angel adopter is out there somewhere!

April 13, 2024 My name is “BUMBLE BEE” and FURR rescued me from a terrible situation! My BIG bright eyes look just like a bee and my colors too! I am no bigger than a football and have quite a silly/sassy personality! After I get to know someone who is sweet and gentle with me, I follow them all around meowing and sticking my tail straight up in the air!
I’m only between 1 and 2 years old and I love belly rubs. They tell me that I’ve probably had a litter of kittens before! I wonder what happened to them? All I need is a little patience and love to become your little friend! Come visit me soon. I would probably prefer no dogs or loud children, but I do just fine with other cats. If they bother me, I just give them a pop with my paw, but no claws! Call me “Bee” for short!!!

January 14, 2026 The little black cat that I trapped going through the garbage at Food Lion HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!
Lioness with her adoptive family – Jan 2026
This adorable tiny cat with a BIG personality went to an amazing family today! Dad + 6 older kids was “purrfect” for Lioness! No doubt, Lioness will entertain them as much as they will entertain her!
I could not be happier with this great match! We will all miss Lioness at FURR and her sweet & playful nature, but this is what it’s all about folks!
Trash dump kitty hits the lottery! My heart is so happy right now!
November 1, 2025 Watch her affectionate, playful nature new video!
Lioness – so happy to be rescued – Sept 2025
September 22, 2025 Last week I was going by Food Lion in Hampstead late one night when I saw a little black kitten rummaging through some trash!
I quickly ran to FURR, got a trap & within about 3 milaseconds, I had her in my trap….she was TINY. She was quiet as a mouse.
Back at FURR, all I had left was our “people” bathroom & that’s where she would have to go.
I reached into the trap to scruff her & bring her out and she started making air biscuits while I held her by the neck!
Well, this is good news! She was actually thrilled that I was holding her & when I put her down, she started rubbing my legs.
Lioness after rescue Sept-2025
She voraciously ate a can of kitten food & I began treating her for fleas & worms, etc.
I named her “Lioness” since she came from Food Lion & looked like a little black panther.
Needless to say, she is precious, adorable, sweeeet & only a teensy shy.
Someone will be VERY blessed to have this baby in their home!!!

Dec. 6, 2025 – Adorable Wildflower (right) is still available! more on her wonderful story below.
Fern with new mom – Dec 2025
Dec. 6, 2025 – Our silly little FERN (shown left with new Mom) now has a new & wonderful home! Her new adopters have a SWEET older kitty & wanted a 2nd!
FERN has hit the jackpot with this couple and I’m confident that she will be loved & cared for!!! The older kitty is super friendly & curious about everything (just like FERN!)
I’m soooo happy for this kitten that was trapped with 3 siblings living in the woods before FURR came to the rescue!
Hooray!
Nov. 13, 2025 Beautiful Wildflower and Fern are still available! See the September updates below for new photos of these sweet girls!
Nov. 7, 2025Forrest is adopted! It didn’t take long for this BEAUTIFUL kitten to get adopted! I delivered him today after interviews, meetings, home visit & application! This couple has another BEAUTIFUL young 3 yr old cat that is really sweet & needed a friend! I think it’s a great match & im so happy for my kitten trapped from the woods in Rocky Point!
Forrest with new family – Nov 2025
It’s so hard to say goodbye to these kitties, but I know i have to. Adoptions give homes to former homeless cats and opens a space to save another one!
Im looking forward to seeing pictures of FORREST & his new future girlfriend kitty playing together!
He will be missed at FURR!!!
Oct. 20, 2025Woody is adopted along with Autumn! Wildflower, Fern and Forrest are still available – please see their stories below.
A really nice couple with 2 sweet little girls came to FURR a couple of times to look at kitties. Over the weekend, they texted me that they had made a decision & wanted AUTUMN & WOODY!!!
Autumn (L) and Woody (R) at their new Home – Oct 2025
I trimmed the 2 kitty’s nails, copied all the paperwork, packed up food & litter & delivered them today. I cried! I’m not so attached to Woody because he is a kitten (and everybody loves kittens) but Autumn was quite special to me. I trapped her as a feral cat & we worked with her for over a year. She turned out to be extremely grateful for her rescue! The lady that fed her (and 2 other cats) left them abandoned & moved away leaving all 3 cats.
I trapped all 3. Two of the cats went to another rescue and I kept Autumn (i was too full already).
Anyway, Autumn turned around & became a hilarious, fun-loving kitty with a BIG personality! She loved to rub on everybody’s face & head. I called her the “hair messer-upper” cat!
I will send more pictures later, but both Autumn & Woody settled right in and I’m so happy for both of them. I wish them a wonderful life from here forward & I am grateful that I could be their beginning!
Sept. 22, 2025 Adorable updated photos of these kittens – now youngsters! In order from left to right in the photo above:
Wildflower kitten – July 2025
WILDFLOWER – Long haired girl gray tabby colored WOODY – Short haired boy light orange/buff colored FERN – Short haired girl gray tabby colored FORREST– Long haired boy bright orange tabby colored
August 26, 2025 It turns out that Kathy & her granddaughter, Maxine, we’re RIGHT when they told me that little Wildflower sounded like she was having trouble breathing.
After a couple days of sounding funny, Wildflower got a LOT worse & sounded like she was struggling to breathe.
Woody – Aug 2025
I rushed her to Sound Cat & they sedated her & examined her throat saying she needed to be scoped with an endoscope to really see what’s going on.
NC State told me that I could come up, but would be on a waiting list to get her scoped. No thanks @ $1,000 a day! The Wilmington Animal ER said that their doc that does the endoscopic exams was booked this week & on vacation next week!
My sister & I worked quickly to fine a vet with a scope & thank goodness, Needham Animal Hospital had one & a very well known vet named Dr. Batts that said he could see Wildflower the NEXT day!
I took her to Dr. Batts & he did surgery on her! She had a lump in her throat that he had to remove. Luckily, after worrying about it, she came out of surgery fine! The lump was biopsied & was not cancer & was not a polyp. It was caused by some sort of trauma to her throat & could be from her spay surgery. We will never know, but she is doing great now!
WHEWWW!
The growth is not expected to return according to Dr. Batts.
What a blessing!!! This beautiful little angel is ready for adoption!
Fern relaxing – Aug 2025
