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!!!

Foster or Adopt Orange Roughy Today! New Photo!

Orange-Roughy-posing-Aug-2025

Orange-Roughy-handsome-face-Aug-2025

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.

Orange Roughy perching – Aug 2025

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!

Foster or Adopt Salmon – New Photo and Video!

Salmon – Aug 2025

August 31, 2025 New photo! Salmon is doing great now after recovering from a few health issues in the past year or so.

Watch his new video!

When we rescued him, he had a horrible mouth and needed teeth pulled, and so now thankfully had successful dental surgery in July 2024. Salmon has also recovered from a severe UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) earlier this year and spending time in the hospital. He is now on special food now and enjoying life in the FURR adoptable kitties house.

He has come a long way behaviorally as well since his initial rescue has really begun to trust us & now loves scratches and rubs! He blinks his eyes in content especially when getting scratched right in front of his tail!

This BEAUTIFUL buff kitty is ready for adoption! He is only a couple years young and is a kind soul. He loves the other kitties too.

So glad Salmon is improving every day and enjoying his life!

Berry relaxing – Nov 2025

August 29, 2025 A new little one ready for adoption at FURR named “BERRY”!

This little kitten was all alone in the blackberry bushes crying for help! It was late at night and FURR volunteer, Elizabeth was out walking her dog. She heard the kitten crying in the bushes and she came and got me. After a few minutes of the kitten alluding capture, I was finally able to grab him!

BERRY has been amazing! He loves everybody and is being fostered by Elizabeth. BERRY loves to cuddle and loves the dog (big golden retriever)! He is truly amazing, happy and playful. BERRY is fully vetted & ready to go!

Minnie Adopted!

Minnie & New Parents – March 2026

Minnie & Alyssia – Aug 2025

March 22, 2026 Great news today! MINNIE was adopted & went to her new “FURR-ever” home! This young couple just fell in love with her & visa versa! MINNIE really took to them & rubbed on them, gave them lots of head bumps & ate treats!

I feel great about this match up and I broke the news to Alyssia today. She was happy for MINNIE & sad at the same time. Alyssia rescued MINNIE near the Surf City bridge, but turned her over to FURR because of her animal menagerie at home not working out. New puppy & several cats already

Feb. 2026 Beautiful Minnie is available for adoption! Meet her soon – someone’s bound to fall in love with her!

Feb. 17, 2026 The BEAUTIFUL sweet kitty named “MINNIE” was returned to FURR yesterday. She was adopted last year, but sadly, the entire dynamic in the household changed with her arrival.

There were already 4 kitties and a new puppy in the home. MINNIE is super sweet & just a love, but the other cats were just not having it. MINNIE was scared of the puppy also, so she would probably do best without a dog in the home.

MINNIE is a little less than a year old, absolutely gorgeous & looks exactly like Wildflower’s twin sister! Both are long haired brownish gray tabby cats!

August 27, 2025 This beautiful little kitten was found by one of our FURR volunteers, Alyssia. She saw the kitten in the marsh and she did whatever it took to catch her!

She was scared and tiny…quite small for her age and very skinny.

After a couple of months, vet work from FURR and lots of love from Alyssia, MINNIE is now ready for adoption!

She is really super sweet, purrrrrs up a storm & has the softest fur! This kitten is fully vetted & gets along well with EVERYONE!

Minnie at Xmas 2025

FURR has lots of cute kitty friends that can accompany MINNIE as well!

PIPSQUEAK & BARRINGTON ADOPTED !

Sept. 17, 2019 A very very sweet young lady stopped by FURR to look at the kitties. Her name was SARAH and she wanted to embark on her first pets as a working professional with her own place! She stayed a LONG time petting the kittens and you could tell she had really put some thought into this. She was full of questions (the right kind!) about how to care for them, etc. I knew right away that Sarah was going to be a wonderful & responsible mom for her new kitties!

Barrington at FURR – Aug 2019

Sarah loved several of the kittens but she immediately fell in love with BARRINGTON! She petted him and listened to him purr and he seemed to like her a lot too! That seemed like a given that Sarah wanted to adopt BARRINGTON, but then she had decided she wanted two kittens so that could keep each other company…..I didn’t even have to persuade her!

Sarah decided to come to visit the FURR rescue facility and visit the kitties again. She had mentioned favoring PIPSQUEAK, but after the lodge visit, she decided definitely……..YES! PIPSQUEAK would be the 2nd kitty adopted! (gray tabby shown above at FURR – Sept 2019)

Barrington & new Mom Sarah – Sept 2019

BARRINGTON & PIPSQUEAK were adopted by Sarah and they will be leaving FURR this coming Wednesday! I am so happy for these two kittens!

BARRINGTON was the kitten I rescued out of a drain pipe after being down there for DAYS!

Pipsqueak & new Mom Sarah – Sept 2019

PIPSQUEAK was a kitten I rescued with his 3 siblings in the back yard woods of a fellow adopter who called me about them. Four kittens were rescued along with their mom, Chatty Cathy. PIPSQUEAK was a teeny tiny little thing and probably the runt of the litter. He finally caught up with the others and turned out to be just adorable & VERY sweet!!!

I am so happy for these rescued kittens! I am grateful to SARAH for giving them a loving home! These 2 kittens will be very happy together!!!

They will be missed very very much……..
Dottie Adopted!

Dottie with Terry (middle) and her new family – Sept 2025

Sept. 16, 2025 WONDERFUL NEWS!!! DOTTIE is adopted !!! I am so happy for this beautiful cat! To think that she went from being on the euthanasia list to being adopted is INCREDIBLE!!!

The young couple that adopted her really had compassion for her past abuse. They are determined to love her & be gentle with her “furrever”!

I took her to her new home & she was pretty calm about it. When I asked how she was doing, I received a video of DOTTIE sitting on the couch with soft blankets making biscuits!!! Can u believe that???

It appears to be a wonderful match and I miss Dottie so much at FURR.

DOTTIE started out being scared of everyone and hated all the other cats, but after we worked with her for a few months, she began to feel safe, confident & pretty laid back. I knew she was ready to go.

DOTTIE will be missed, but what a happy ending for this rescued girl!!!

FURR saves Dottie – May 2025

May 31, 2025 Meet DOTTIE in her first video with FURR! I rescued her from New Hanover Animal Control on the DAY she was to be euthanized!

Here is a second video of Dottie after she was at FURR for a couple of weeks! This beautiful 5 years young kitty is long haired, very sweet, very talkative and being wonderful at FURR considering all that she has been through!

DOTTIE’S owner left her at Animal Control and told them to euthanize her because she didn’t want her any more!

We have had DOTTIE a few weeks now and she has been “purrfect”! Everybody loves her and she talks to us, rolls around on the floor, always uses her litter box and is a delight to have! She acts as if she has been abused and seems scared at times almost afraid we are going to hit her or yelling at her? We just pet her gently, love her, talk sweet to her and she LOVES that! She rubs all around our legs and let’s us pick her up with no problem! I’m so glad she is with FURR!

She vetted, healthy, clean and is ready to go! Believe me, we will be extremely picky about who gets her. She deserves a great home!
