  • Grigio Adopted!

    Grigio Adopted!

    April 2022 – Grigio is adopted! Check back soon for his adoption story.

    Please consider clicking “Donate” on the right to help us recover from paying $1,500 total for his recent, urgent dental surgery. Please see the July 11th update below for details. 

    Update July 11, 2021 GRIGIO also came to FURR with a broken tooth.  It was obviously from when he was hit by that car in his face.  The tooth also became inflamed and really, none of his teeth looked all that great.  It was probably from starving in the colony because he couldn’t see very well.  I know he still “kills” his food before he eats it.  I’m sure his diet was mainly crickets, bugs, etc.!

    GRIGIO had to have ALL his teeth pulled except for his 2 bottom canines!  He was silly looking before, but now looks a little bit like a bull dog at times.  He is SO HAPPY AFTER HAVING HIS TEETH PULLED!  He must feel a ton better because he literally dances now and runs around like life is splendid!!!  This is undoubtedly the cutest cat I have ever seen!  He makes me laugh every single day!

    GRIGIO is in need of a one cat home!

    Original Story August 2020 Watch his Video! Miracles happen every day, but sometimes, you just shake your head and say “how”? How in the world did this feral, injured cat, living in a colony, survive? I began, one by one, trapping all the cats in a Hampstead colony of 20+ feral cats. Each one needed medical care, spay/neuter surgery, treatment for fleas, worms, etc. The cats had never really been handled, but it amazed me how quickly they showed me how grateful they were…….unbelievable purrs, stretching out the paws as if making biscuits and the happy meows at me when I would check on them in their recovery cages. One kitty, though, REALLY made an impression on me……I named him “GRIGIO”.

    I had a lot of trouble catching GRIGIO, but finally after much persistence and trips back and forth to the colony, I got him! When I got him home, I could quickly see that he had many issues that he had been living with which was why he was hard to catch. When I talked to the colony caretaker that feeds the cats, I quickly realized that this cat had been hit by a car. His face was a little smashed in, his tongue stuck out a lot, his eyes watered, his breathing was muffled and he had a runny nose. Worst of all, GRIGIO was mostly blind. His eyes were about half open most of the time, but after several vet visits, I learned that GRIGIO had been just trying his best to survive. His body is fine, but his face took the brunt of the accident.

    Grigio ready for Xmas - Dec 2020
    Grigio ready for Xmas – Dec 2020

    GRIGIO quickly warmed up to the idea of feeling safe, having regular meals (where he didn’t have to worry about other cats stealing his food) and being petted! He now is healthy and doing great! He wags his tail a lot, sticks out his tongue and shakes his head (like a dog!) when he is happy! He loves to rub on my legs and head butt me (and some of his new kitty friends at FURR). GRIGIO will never be able to see 100% and he will always have a little bit of a runny nose, but he is sooooooooo happy now! All he needs is that selfless person that is willing to take a not-so-perfect kitty that will give love back 100 times in return! Could it be you?

    Could you be that person to save him………not because you are trying to save yourself & get that perfect cat, but because you want to save him? In the end, after all is said and done, if you adopt GRIGIO, YOU will be the one that is rescued! There is no doubt about that!

    I have had no problem wiping GRIGIO’S nose for him, giving him lots of good food to eat, rubbing and petting him to make him happy and just feeling the joy exude from this reformed cat! Anyone, in my book, would be lucky to be his caretaker to this one special cat. The fact that he survived out in the colony being half blind, skinny and unable to really defend himself, is a miracle! I’m so glad he was finally able to figure out how to get in the trap I set for him!

    I have really grown to love this kitty to pieces and I am going to hold out for just the right home for him! GRIGIO is only a couple of years old, looks GREAT now with weight gain & healthy coat (only has a few battle scars) and really looks like a Russian blue mix! He is just a doll!!!

    Pinky and Girlfriend Hooters Loving Life Together! – April 2019

    Update December 1, 2021 Pinky is adopted! Hooters is still available

    What a hilarious couple! Pinky (left-male) and Hooters (right female) are so happy together! Please consider adopting them together!

    Please consider clicking “Donate” on the right to help us recover from paying $1,000 total for two recent, urgent surgeries. Please see the July 11th update below for details. 

    Update July 11, 2021 PINKY had an infected canine.  It was a tooth that had been broken off before we rescued him and I had been keeping an eye on it.  It became inflamed & I knew it was hurting him.  PINKY went in for that tooth to be removed & also had a dental cleaning which was also needed.  He seems to be much better now!  I have to wonder if PINKY’s broken tooth came from being abused in his past life…..so sad! PINKY also had eye surgery a couple of months ago.  His right eye continued to water all the time and the vet said that he had that eyelash “thingy” going on where the eyelashes start to grow in towards the eyeball.  Every time he would blink, the eyelashes would scratch his eye ball.  Poor buddy!  But, that surgery went well also and he is doing great!

     
    PINKY is still in love with HOOTERS and they both desperately need a home!!!

    Read on for the amazing story of Pinky’s near-death experience with heartworms.

    April 27, 2019

    GOOD NEWS! PINKY went to Dr. Sayer this week to get another echo cardiogram & checkup. His heart and lungs look CLEAR!!! The heart worm(s) has passed and he is doing GREAT! We are able to stop all medications at this point. I am sooooo happy for PINKY! He is one of only a very few number of cats that survive heart worm disease!

    The medicine that PINKY was on to help keep his airways open is also a bit of an appetite suppressant………..also, it tends to make the cat a bit hyper, so hopefully now his appetite will pick back up and he will settle down a little bit! He is a screamer, talker, pacer & just overall seemingly unsettled cat. Now we will watch him to return to a more normal state!

    PINKY’S case will be used in studies by these vets. It really is a miracle that he survived! Thanks for all your prayers for him!

    February 5, 2019

    Pinky is doing really well, eating well and seems to be back to normal! It is wonderful to see him talking and wanting attention again! He will need to go back to the cardiologist in 3-4 weeks for another echo cardiogram and xray to see if the heartworm has completely passed. Meanwhile, I am medicating him twice a day with LOTS of stuff (anti-inflammatory, steriods, etc.) and he is doing really well! Thanks again for ALL the support; both financially and mentally!!! Our prayers were answered with this one for sure!!!

    Good news:
    Fundraiser is complete and we raised $2,000 to save Pinky! He is home from ICU and resting comfortably at the FURR facility! 

    January 30, 2019
    PINKY came home last night! I monitored him throughout the night and he is doing very well! He ate all of his supper last night & is slowing eating his breakfast today. He seems good and happy to be back! He has lost some weight, but we will work hard to put that back on him. He is on a lot of medications for now, but hopefully he will get past all of this heartworm disease and end up 100% & ready for adoption! Thank you again for everything you have done for him!!!

    January 29, 2019 9 pm
    PINKY IS HOME! I cant believe he made it through such a hard ordeal…..he is a LOT better, and happy to be home, but not completely out of the woods….

    It was very emotional when I went to get him. I picked him up and he put his arms around my neck & started purring up a storm…..even the vet tech commented….

    He is currently in rm 6 by himself. He needs a couple of days alone to be quiet. Of course, I’m watching him on my video monitor, and he is pacing a bit…..I hope he can settle down & rest, but I will check on him later.

    Pinky will be on lots of medication for the next few weeks. The heartworm still needs to successfully pass out of his body.

    I’m so happy that he is home! It has been a tough 4 days!

    I believe we have raised enough money to pay his bill. I cant thank you all enough for caring about this kitty. Your prayers & financial support have saved his life!

    January 29, 2019 2 pm
    This morning, the cardiologist said that Pinky had a good night. He is eating and doing well. He has been slowly weaned off of his oxygen and seems to be tolerating that OK. He is on a lot of medications, but did spike a fever. She wanted to monitor his fever this morning for a few hours before telling me anything.

    I just talked to the cardiologist again. Pinky’s fever is under control and he has been normal temp for the last few hours. She wants to monitor him throughout the day, but if he continues to do well, she wants me to bring him HOME LATE AFTERNOON!!!

    If Pinky comes home, he will have to be isolated for a couple of days. He will be on lots of medications for a while, but his prognosis is good. He has really been through the wringer. I am amazed that he has lived through all of this and I am extremely grateful to everyone for all of the financial support and prayers!!!

    January 28, 2018 11 pm 
    The cardiologist called me this afternoon. It sounds like it was the right move to get Pinky to Dr. Sayer. She said the echocardiogram SHOWS the heartworm that is causing Pinky’s troubles. Pinky would have been dead if no one had done KHH on Sat…..I was really busy on Sat, and could not get anyone for KHH, so i had to hurry down there around 2:30 to ck on everybody & feed lunch……folks, that was a “God stop”!

    Dr. Sayer said that they were going to give Pinky steroids, blood thinner & continue the antibiotics & hopefully he can pass the worm successfully. He will be closely monitored. He is where he needs to be in ICU. She said he had been eating, feeling & acting good & was stable. She said that she was hoping he would have a good night.

    I just called this evening to see how Pinky was doing. Unfortunately, he has spiked a fever and has some wicked diarrhea & refuses to eat. The vet tech was trying to reach Dr. Sayer to tell her. Now I’m worried all over again. This poor kitty!

    What an emotional roller coaster. Please continue to pray for him & I will update u all in the am.

    Please know that donations are coming in for Pinky and I am amazed and grateful for all the love & concern being shown for this amazing kitty!!! Thank u all so very very much!!!

    January 28, 2019 11 am
    Pinky is doing better this morning……….eating, acting normal and tried to bite the technician. This tells me his is definitely feeling a lot better. That is the good news.

    Pinky cannot breathe when taken out of the oxygen chamber. That is the bad news. Obviously the antibiotics and oxygen has made him feel better, but there is still something terribly wrong and he cannot live in a chamber.

    The thought is that he does have a blood clot somewhere as a result of the heart worms.

    The bill so far is $1,700. I agreed to let him be transferred to the cardiologist specialist, Dr. Sayer, where he will get an echo cardiogram. Af Please pray that this will give a definitive answer on where the clot is and then they can try to treat it. This additional test and consult is another $500. I made the decision to at least do this before putting him down.

    I will let you all know the results of the test (being done today) and then I will need all of you to help me make some tough decisions.

    I still pray for Pinky and hope he will come through all of this ok.

    THIS IS EXACTLY WHY OUTSIDE KITTIES DIE THAT ARE NOT TREATED EVERY 30 DAYS WITH HEART WORM PREVENTION!!! TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW! THIS IS COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE & SO UNFAIR TO THE CATS!!!

    January 27, 2019

    Pinky is in intensive care in the C.A.R.E. Animal Hospital and we urgently need to raise $2,500 in donations by 1/31/19 to save his life! The veterinarians think he has thrown a blood clot and are giving him oxygen to help him breathe and treating him with IV fluids, blood thinners and antibiotics while providing 24 hour medical attention. His life hangs in the balance while this urgent care is given, but it is also very expensive. FURR had some funds, but they were quickly depleted as this level of care costs $1,000 per day.  Please donate any amount safely and securely by clicking on the DONATE button to the right and help save Pinky today!!!!

  • Update: Chucky is now in a Texas foster home!

    Update: Chucky is now in a Texas foster home!

    Sun Oct 24, 2021 – Good news! Chucky is successfully flown to his new foster home in Texas! Check back soon for more updates on his story.

    Sept 22, 2021 Chucky is a rescued cat with no where to go! We urgently need a temporary foster home for him! He is a 9 month old, neutered male and overall healthy, but he is FeLV+ (Feline Leukemia positive), and so may need to be kept away from other cats inside the home.

    The foster home is temporary because there is a FURR-ever home that will be available for him in a few weeks. In the meantime he’s living in a small space, so moving to a foster home would enable him to live much more comfortably in a larger space.

    Please let FURR know if you have a place in your heart & home for this sweet boy! You can reach Terry Schultz at 864-843-2444.

  • Brevard’s Miraculous Rescue and Adoption Story!

    Brevard’s Miraculous Rescue and Adoption Story!

    Hold on to your tissues for this one!

    BREVARD was only a kitten herself living a horrible life out on her own when she became pregnant. She was probably about 6 months old when she was looking for a quiet, dark, safe place to give birth. She found an abandoned house in Waxhaw, on Brevard Street, and she snuck in there to have her babies. BREVARD was a feral cat, skin and bones, with no regular food, nutrition, water or care of any kind. She was completely on her own.

    BREVARD had her kittens in the abandoned house. That SAME day, contractors showed up at the house ready to demolish part of and rebuild the house. The workers tore off part of the flooring and LOW & BEHOLD, there was BREVARD with her newly born babies!

    BREVARD took off, scared to death, and the babies were left alone with umbilical cords still attached. I can’t imagine how BREVARD must have felt; exhausted, hungry and completely overwhelmed at having to abandon her new babies.

    One of the contractors looked on the Internet and found my number. He was compassionate about saving the little family. I got the call, but I was in Wilmington at the time. I left Wilmington as fast as I could and told him to please watch out for the new born kittens while I traveled about 4 hours to come and get them. Of course, BREVARD was nowhere to be found.

    Meanwhile, during my 4 hour trip, another contractor at the site had called animal control. The babies, in his mind, were just a hold up for the work that needed to be done on the house that day. He was not willing to wait 4 hours to have them removed.

    Animal Control showed up. The animal control officer took the new born babies. When I called to check in, about half way through my trip, the contractor that had originally contacted me, said that he was sorry, but that the Animal Control guy had taken them. I was just devastated, but continued my trip and immediately called the Animal Control in Wingate. When they answered the phone, they knew the babies that I was speaking from Brevard Streetabout and told me that they had already been euthanized.

    Brevard – Scared Kitty – April 2017

    Through flooding tears, I knew what I had to do now. I gave Animal Control AND the officer (who I called) a good piece of my mind. They BOTH knew I was in route, but chose death anyway for those innocent babies. Now, I had to save mama!

    I set traps every single day at the house. I would wait until the contractors left and then I would go out and set several traps all around the house. I knew mama would be back to find her babies. I sat out there for all hours of the night and I would see mama. She was lurking around and seemed confused. She was slinking down low to the ground trying to find a way inside the house, but she would give up and run away. She came back night after night while I watched in tears from my car. I just couldn’t imagine her pain.

    Finally, after TWO weeks, she went into the trap! Thank you GOD!

    I took BREVARD straight to the vet to be checked out, get her shots, deworming, spay surgery and to make sure that she was OK after this birthing. The spay surgery helped her milk dry up faster and removed all of those hormones that cause postpartum depression. BREVARD did well through the surgery and came home to FURR to be cared for and loved……….the best we could seeing that she was EXTREMELY scared and confused.

    BREVARD lived at FURR for three years. Over the years, she slowly made progress and would let us pet and love on her. She developed several mouth issues including gingivitis and stomatitis. We had to take her back to the vet for several dental appointments, but over time, most of her teeth were pulled and she finally had a healthy mouth. After that, she actually starting eating really well and became ALMOST a little pudgy!

    BREVARD was always scared of new people. She got very comfortable with me because she saw me every day, but our FURR volunteers were relentless in working with her and BREVARD became more and more trusting. She finally raised up her back and tail when being scratched, but the possibility of a “real furrever” home was still slim.

    BUT! MIRACLES do happen!

    An amazing couple, who had adopted 2 cats from FURR years before, called me to say that one of their FURR kitties had passed away. They had adopted CANE KITTY and STEFFAN from FURR several years earlier. I will never, ever, ever, ever forget what Lu & Earl said to me when they came to FURR:

    Steffan (top) & Cane Kitty (bottom) – Aug 2019

    WE WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT 2 KITTIES FROM FURR. WE WANT TO PICK OUT A BEAUTIFUL ONE THAT WE REALLY CONNECT WITH AND WE WOULD LIKE TO RESCUE ONE THAT NEEDS A HOME!

    Can you imagine how wonderful those words were to hear? As a rescue person, that just rarely happens. Most adoptions are based on the cat’s looks, personality, age, etc., and hardly ever on the fact that some cats just need a home in the worst way! These cats are NOT the most trusting, the most beautiful or the youngest………….they are the most desperate & deserving ones. So, Earl and Lu took Steffan and Cane Kitty home. Cane Kitty had been rescued by me at Cane Creek Park. I had received a call that there were a bunch of feral cats living out a the park and that campers were feeding them. Someone complained and animal control went out and trapped & killed ALL of the feral cats………all but one that they couldn’t catch. By the time I got the news about these cats, it was too late, but I went out there anyway and sure enough, ONE kitty was left that they couldn’t catch. I waited for days with my special drop trap and finally got her. I can tell you another entire story about Cane Kitty and all that she went through, but the main thing is that she DID get adopted & lived a wonderful life with Earl & Loucinda! Cane Kitty was in her late teens when she passed away.

    Brevard’s new home awaits! – Dec 2020

    Now, Lucinda & Earl have taken a second kitty from FURR just because it needed a home! Mike and I drove BREVARD up to Charlotte to her new & furrever home! I cried my eyes out (again!) because of how happy I was for BREVARD!

    BREVARD is doing really well and Steffan (their other FURR kitty) has met her a few times. BREVARD is in the perfect home where Lu and Earl are taking a quiet & slow approach to her living with them. Progress is eminent and this couple is amazing! I want to clone them! I am sending a few pictures of BREVARD in her new home. I miss her so much because I spent 3 years taking care of her and she is a part of my heart. I am so grateful that this is a happy ending for this kitty……………there are just no words good enough to thank Lu and Earl for their compassion, care and dedication to these cats. They are the real heros!!!

  • Amelia & Caddie adopted!

    Amelia & Caddie adopted!

    Caddie

    April 2021 Caddie & Amelia are adopted! Caddie and Amelia were the 2 kittens that I adopted out a couple of years ago to a young couple that I believed in. Unfortunately, the couple proved me wrong and after having a baby, decided to dump their 2 beloved cats……of course they are now adults and much harder to find homes for.

    The cats have been in a temporary foster home.

    LIZ, a long time FURR volunteer, had adopted a FURR kitty, “CLEO”, to keep her kitty, “MING” company. Sadly, MING passed away recently and we certainly know how hard that is to say goodbye to our beloved family……we are so sorry Liz. But, LIZ decided to give CADDIE a try to give Cleo a friend! She took in CADDIE and slowly but surely, CADDIE and CLEO are getting along and Liz has become quite attached to CADDIE and has decided to adopt her!

    I am sooooo excited that now CADDIE has, what I know will be, a permanent loving home! Thank you Liz! Some people just don’t understand what that means. Our beloved cats are NOT disposable.

    These pictures are great & we all with Liz, Caddie & Cleo a very long and happy life together!

    Original Story in 2020 – Three years ago a young, newly married couple adopted one of my kittens. They had rescued a kitten that needed a friend, so I adopted “CADDIE” to them. They really wanted CADDIE to be a friend to their cat AMELIA, who was the same age as CADDIE.

    CADDIE was one of the kittens born to SUN CITY KITTY MAMA………..

    Now, three years later, the two cats are 3 years old and the couple now live in a home that will NOT allow any pets in the house. CADDIE & AMELIA are both in a small bathroom. I am thankful that they are still alive, but this is a horrible situation for the cats. I have been just devastated over it. It is quite difficult to find adult cats a home, much less two cats.

    Both cats are very sweet. Please help any way you can to spread the word for these two beautiful cats who unfortunately need to move from the only place they have ever known.

    FURR will do anything to keep the two, very attached, cats together.

    THIS IS URGENT TO SAY THE LEAST. I am still afraid that these cats will be dropped off at animal control if we do not find a FOSTER HOME or PERMANENT HOME SOON!!!
