MINNIE is kindest little girl! She is just sweet beyond words giving head butts and making biscuits for anyone who comes near! MINNIE is a short haired calico kitty with a really sweet face!
This little girl was found dumped in downtown Charlotte near the Panther Stadium, with her brothers Mickey (adopted) and Mouse (available), where a good Samaritan found her and called FURR. We now have them at our rescue and MINNIE is just precious! She was born around the beginning of July 2016 and comes fully vetted with all shots, blood testing, spay & microchip! She is a pleasure to have at our rescue and all the volunteers love her, but she would love a “real” home! You should come to meet this sweet kitty & you will fall in love with her too!

THAT WAS FAST! The “main man” from the Waxhaw colony that I have been working on has been adopted!!! I believe Christine and Michelle just got MISTER on Petfinder & the web site and I got calls immediately! A wonderful couple (no kids) came to visit MISTER and fell in love with him! They have a large beautiful home with some rescued doggies and one kitty. Their 2nd older kitty passed away recently and now they will have MISTER to befriend their female kitty! I am not sure what MISTER will do without his harem at FURR, but I’m sure he will be just fine! MISTER just loves attention, room to run around and he likes to be in the middle of anything happening. I really believe this will be a fabulous home for him and I am so happy for him!
This cat has truly amazed me coming from the trenches in Waxhaw and never having a home or human interaction. I could tell from the start, right after he was trapped, that he was more scared than anything, but the look in his eyes was trusting and he just melted when I started handling him. The funniest thing that he did, however, was the first time he was standing on a padded, soft blanket, he started making biscuits like crazy. He was REALLY putting his full body into it and he made biscuits for HOURS! I don’t think he had ever felt anything soft in his life! He still does a lot of biscuit making on soft things, but now he does take a break every now and then.
This big loving cat will be a wonderful pet and new family member for this couple and I’m thrilled at this new chance in life for him! Brenda and her husband left for vacation today, so it will be NEXT Friday or Saturday when MISTER will get to go to his new home! At least we have a few more days to enjoy him! He is such a doll!
Original Adoption Story – May 2017
Mister is Beautiful – Spring 2017
This Maine Coon Mix is a BIG BEAUTIFUL BOY and so sweet that he gives you kisses!
This is the kind of cat that comes running to the door to see who is there to play with him! MISTER was rescued and was in pretty bad shape……skin and bones, covered in fleas, etc., but FURR has taken him in, nursed him back to health and WOW! What a transformation…..which is still happening!
MISTER is a favorite among the FURR volunteers and he actually has a MRS KITTY that he is quite fond of! MRS KITTY is busy right now “rearing” his kids, but MISTER acts like a proud daddy! MISTER is a very kind and loving cat about 2-3 years young. He is filling out beautifully and just look at that fluffy tail!!! MISTER is fully vetted, blood tested for feline aids/leukemia/heart worm disease (all negative!) and he is just waiting for that “FURRever” home! Not sure who will be luckier when he is adopted…….him or his new family! He will NOT last!

March 2019 – Hissy Fit is adopted! Check back soon for her sweet story!
Amazing mama kitty that was saved just moments before euthanasia at animal control! This mama had so much stress being trapped and turned into animal control while about to BUST with babies! FURR saved her and she had babies only 2 days after coming to our rescue! She had FIVE gorgeous baby boy kittens and all have now been adopted!
While they were still growing up and too young to be adopted, Mama was in a constant state of hissing when anyone approaches her babies, but she purrs to beat the band as soon as you talk sweet to her and start petting her!!! She is quite funny with the hissing and purring almost at the same time!
This young kitty has been through a lot, but she is super sweet, loves to be petted, she will be fully vetted by FURR upon adoption. She is a gorgeous short-haired dilute tortie ONLY about 8 months old! Come and see this amazingly brave kitty!!!
Like all FURR kitties, this kitty is fully vetted with vaccinations and spaying/neutering. The Adoption fee also includes Microchipping to an approved home only.

UPDATE MAY 2017: CLARISSA IS ADOPTED May 2017! Clarissa is a high spirited fun-loving kitty went to a home that is exactly what she needed! This home had 2 young boys, a couple of dogs and another kitty! This cat is just happy to be in the middle of chaos and this home is just what she needs! The boys will play with her and she will have a huge house to run all around in, up and down the stairs, and even a large basement to play in! We are so happy for this adoption and it is a great fit for CLARRISA!
ORIGINAL ADOPTION STORY
We have rescued beautiful Clarissa! She was definitely in danger being outside, so FURR has taken in the sweet young female kitty. We do believe she was left behind by people who moved away, leaving this poor girl to try to survive all on her own after being a member of their family! Clarissa is a gray tabby and sweet, but a little shy.

Mary, one of the FURR Volunteers, had called me about 2 more young kitties dumpted at her aunt’s house in Gastonia. I agreed that she could take them in and rescue them as long as she was willing to foster them temporarily until I had room at the lodge. Mary only had the cats a few weeks and FURR had them spayed, tested, shots, etc., but Mary agreed to bring them to the PetSmart weekend. Low and behold, BOTH kitties got adopted!!! Sheba had a million phone calls, but ended up in the perfect home with a wonderful couple that had one young adult cat that is also a lilac point or Siamese mix! Their current kitty is very docile and the couple wanted a friend to keep him company. WELL, it didn’t take long for SHEBA to adjust to her new home & all is absolutely PURRFECT!!! We are so happy for SHEBA and her new home!!!

Jordan & Donnie’s New Family – May 2017
New Mom Kathryn with Danny, Joey & Johnathan – May-2017
Two of the kittens are going to a wonderful family that already has one older kitty and 2 sweet puppy dogs AND two
older kids! Mom is a realtor and the entire family just loves animals! JORDAN & DONNIE were adopted by this family and these kittens will be able to leave around the 1st of June. As soon as they have their 2nd vet visit and 2nd booster shot, they will be ready to go! Mama Hissy Fit needs to gain some weight and stop nursing all these babies soon! Right now Hissy is spending days in room 7 and nights in with the kittens. I am working on slowing weaning them from her. All is going well, and believe it or not, Hissy just LOVES being in the teenage room (since she is one herself) and she seems so much happier and relaxed in there!!! Please spend time with her if you can! This is a picture of the two older kids adopting JORDAN & DONNIE!!! WISH them all a good life and lots of fun!!!
The other 3 kittens, JOHNATHAN, JOEY & DANNY are being adopted by a former FURR client that already has 2 of our cats…..FERN & MYRTLE!!! Kathryn decided that she really wanted at least ONE kitten, but when she met the gang, she just couldn’t decide between the 3 unadopted kittens, so she decided to take all three!!! Kathryn is a wonderful cat MOM and she is taking wonderful care of FERN & MYRTLE! She tells me that FERN is still very shy, but absolutely gorgeous and totally in love with her senior kitty! MYRTLE is sweet, loving and absolutely stunning! She will now have 6 kitties, but that’s ok for Kathryn! She lives alone and her kitties are her family! She will soon be surrounded with lots of purrs & biscuits!!! Look at this cute picture of Kathryn with her 3 new babies!!! All the kittens should be leaving by the first of June!!!
ORIGINAL ADOPTION STORY
Three weeks ago this coming Saturday (around 4/1), a rescuer friend of mine (Huanita) asked me to foster a feral mama kitty about to POP with kittens. The mama cat had been trapped in Rock Hill and was going to be turned into A/C to be euthanized. She was feral, so no one wanted to deal with her, but I agreed to take her in until she had her babies. Two days after receiving her, she had 5 little boy kittens! The kittens will be 3 weeks old on 4/22/17. They are fat, happy and wanting to play! It has been a joy watching them grow. Thanks to Angela for being here right after they were born to make sure all went well – she was the first one to see them!!!
We have named the 5 boys after the “New Kids on the Block” band, so we have the following:
BUFF KITTEN is “Jonathan”
GRAY TABBY KITTEN is “Donnie”
BLACK KITTEN W/WHITE PAWS is “Danny”
ORANGE TABBY KITTEN is “Joey”
LILAC POINT KITTEN is “Jordan”
These kittens are now available for adoption now, as of mid-April, however they will not be old enough to be ready for delivery to their new families for a few more weeks. If someone is willing to take the Mama Kitty along with one of her babies, we will reduce the adoption fee which is $150 per kitten (which includes all vet work & more!)
The kittens have already graduated to another big container and tomorrow they will graduate again to an even larger container! Before long, they will have run of the entire room & we all know how much fun (and how challenging!) that is! Mama is getting a lot better about being petted. She needs a LOT of loving, petting & reassurance. She is getting sweeter every day and a lot more trusting of us coming into her room!
Like all FURR kitties, these kitties are fully vetted with vaccinations and spaying/neutering by the time they are delivered to their adoptive families. The Adoption fee also includes Microchipping to an approved home only!

BIG BOY “JEFFREY” needs a home! This large stately kitty is GORGEOUS with his very soft silver gray fur and his amazing eyes! This kitty is SUPER friendly and is just shy of 20 pounds of “purrage”! He is really attached to ANYONE that will give him the time of day and he will follow you if you try to leave him!
JEFFREY is just recently rescued and is starved for love and attention! This is the kitty that showed up (more than likely dumped!) behind my friend, Donna’s, plastic surgeon’s office in Matthews where she works. I really don’t think he was feral. He hid from her for about 2 weeks before he would come close to her, but she was feeding him every day even though he kept his distance. Finally, he started approaching her and even started rubbing her legs; but he was quite nervous, anxious and worried.
After she got him and brought him to the FURR lodge for rehab, I figured out really quick that he just doesn’t want to be left. He was associating the food coming from her with her leaving. He turned out to be a very kind and gentle cat that just needed to feel secure and loved. He did not want to be alone and he started out running after me when I would go to leave his room. I decided to feed him and stay with him for a long while before leaving. Soon, he stopped trying to bite me and just settled down after eating to take a bath. He worried less and less as I spent more time with him and stayed longer each time.
Now I can pick him up, put him in my lap and rub him lots! This humongous cat is quite threatening looking but deep down inside, he is a very insecure and lonely fellow. Every day he is improving and getting more content. He has slowed down his fast movements and has mellowed out. He now goes into rooms 5 & 6 to hang out. He used to just sit in there with all the other cats while growling the entire time. Now, he hardly growls at all. He is realizing that he is safe, loved quite often, fed LOTS and that the other cats are no threat to him, his food or his safety. He has a good healthy appetite and comes totally vetted, neutered, etc. Jeffrey is about 2 years old, but let’s hope he doesn’t get any bigger! This is a lot of cat to love, so prepare to be head-butted and rubbed on by him! I think this beautiful cat will make a wonderful pet! He truly loves to be loved and just needs time and confidence.
Jeffrey would do best in a household with no other kitties. He has come a long way & pretty much ignores the other cats now, but if they come too close, he will go after them a bit.
