June 2022 – Sand Fiddler, Bossie and Mouse are adopted! Check back soon for their adoption stories.

April 2022 Sand Fiddler (shown above) is an adorable VERY unique colored gray tortie female, a young teenager who is EXTREMELY playful and sweet! She is a teensy shy at first, but it doesn’t last long if you shake the cookie box! This silly little girl loves other kitties and wants to run and play all day!

April 2022 In Bossie’s “own words” – I came to FURR already named but no one can figure out why! I’m completely adorable and as friendly as can be! I was an inoor kitty with my brother, Mouse, and our family was evicted. Everyone left us alone and FURR found us outside and hiding underneath the house! I ran up to the nice lady at FURR and she took us in! I am only years young and QUITE beautiful with my stripes, tri-colors, and white feet! You won’t find a better people kitty than me! I come fully vetted and full of love to give… and I promise I’m not bossy at all!

April 2022 In Mouse’s “own words” – I am a talker! I get SOOO excited when somebody wants to pet me! I am a teensy shy, but as soon as you start talking sweet to me I express my joy with loud meows! I am as friendly as can be especially considering what I have been through, as you can read in my sister Bossie’s story above.

June 2022 – Good News! Gracie survived FIP (see her story below) and now Terry, FURR’s President and Founder, is adopting her!

March 2022 – Please go to our Go Fund Me page to help meet several urgent needs described below!

The little rescued kitten named “GRACIE” who came from a colony I saved at Topsail Beach has been sick. I took her to the vet in December for just being lethargic and she was running a low grade fever. Her fever, despite antibiotics and other treatments, stayed for several weeks. I had to medicate her, give her fluids, monitor her, hand feed her, weigh her often and spent many hours taking her back and forth to the vet with no resolution in site.

After about a month of nonstop care (I had put her in my personal bathroom to care for her round the clock), she was no better. I took her in to be euthanized since I could not stand to see her suffer any further, losing weight, not wanting to eat and becoming neurologically unsound in her back end.

Before I took her in to be euthanized, someone reached out to me and gave me a phone number to call suspecting that Gracie had FIP – Feline Infectious Peritonitis, a rare disease that is very difficult to diagnosis and treat. I called the person and rushed Gracie to see the person at 10 pm one night. The medicine that I purchased is not approved by the FDA and cannot be obtained by a vet. The medicine has been proven to cure FIP in China, but not in the US. I didn’t have anything to lose, since she was dying, so I bought the medicine.

Within one day of getting the medicine, GRACIE’s fever broke. She immediately started eating. Within a week, she was walking normally and feeling a whole lot better. With a long way to go still, I needed to continue the medicine every day for 84 days. I have managed to buy the medicine with just barely enough in the FURR account to keep her going……….

However, she needs 2 more weeks of medicine and we have run out of money. The medicine runs about $1,000 every two weeks, so you can imagine how this has but a huge strain on FURR.

I thank the people who have given to help save her: my parents, her caretakers when she was living in the woods (before FURR was able to rescue her), and other donors who have given recently. Without those funds, she would have died.

Please pass along the word that FURR is desperate for funding for Gracie, Mama Google and other expenses. Thank you all for caring and prayers always help!

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.

December 1, 2021 Peas and Pod are adopted! Details soon!

August 17, 2021 I rescued 2 kittens living underneath a trailer that were scared, tiny and covered in fleas!  Thank goodness, my dear friend and realtor, called me about them AND found a foster to keep them for FURR! Our facility is totally full right now and there was nowhere to put 2 more kittens, but a wonderful foster home took them in.
 

The kittens are both adorable little boys, about 3-4 months old.  The foster has done a wonderful job with them and I have gone to visit many times.  The kittens have had all there vet work done except for their neuter surgery which will be next week.  They will be READY to go by the end of next week!

PEAS and POD kittens are totally attached at the hip and I do not want to separate them!
> PEAS is a little adorable Domestic Short Hair gray striped tabby with white face & paws!
> POD is a little bigger than PEAS, and he is a Domestic Short Hair black & white kitty!

They are playful, healthy and funny! PEAS can be a teensy shy, but comes out to play after he gets to know you a little bit.  BOTH kittens love the foster’s dogs, so that’s a plus! How could anyone resist these little fellas!

Sept. 22, 2025 – New photos of beautiful Lucy, cozy in her bed at FURR!

July 3, 2025 – LUCY, one of the two FURR cats adopted 4 years ago, however we’re very sad to report that her loving owner, Carol, recently died, so it became necessary for her family to return her and her best friend, Percy, to FURR. If possible, Lucy and Percy need to stay together as they were adopted together as kittens 4 years ago. They are both sweet as can be and need a new FURR-ever home as soon as possible!

2024 Lucy is Adopted! We’re so happy that Carol Dubin, one of FURR’s most generous supporters, has given this sweet girl her FURR-ever home!

January 2023 – See Lucy’s updated photo above! She’s grown up and gorgeous!

July 2, 2021 Gray Lady’s 2nd tiny kitten (Willy’s sibling), LUCY is fairly good weight and she is adorable.  She is very laid back, tamed up easily and she is a beautiful spotted gray tabby short haired.  She is doing well and only a teensy shy.  You can pick her up and handle her.  She was touch and go for a few weeks, but she seems fine now and the vet says she is healthy.  LUCY is not fixed yet, but going through her series of shots and vet visits.  She tested negative and should be spayed within the next couple of weeks.

Marsha’s Original Story:

July 11, 2021 This 5-6 month old kitten is absolutely stunning!  Long haired gray girl with WHITE whiskers and a white spot on the end of her tail.  Taming up really quickly and has  been totally vetted.  Very calm kitty and I can already pet her and pick her up.

Willy’s Original Story:

July 2, 2021 Gray Lady’s 2nd tiny kitten (Lucy’s sibling) – PRECIOUS long haired fuzzy male gray with white and ear tufts that are just tooooo cute!  All of these long haired cats and kittens have these extra extra unusually long ear tufts!  Willy is doing great, but still under weight.  I would like to wait until he gets a little bigger and stronger before putting him up for adoption.  WILLY is so freakin’ cute.

February 2026 Percy is adopted! Check back soon for his adoption story!

September 2025 Updated feature photo of handsome Percy above! He’ll be so happy to have a new FURR-ever home.

July 3, 2025 – PERCY, one of the two FURR cats adopted 4 years ago, however we’re very sad to report that his loving owner, Carol, recently died, so it became necessary for his family to return him to FURR. Lucy and Percy need to stay together as they were adopted together as kittens 4 years ago. They are both sweet as can be and need a new FURR-ever home as soon as possible!

January 2023 – Great news Percy is adopted! The beautiful black & white PERCY boy was adopted by a wonderful couple!  This big kitty, although quite shy, has a lot of love to give & has waited WAY too long for his dream to come true!

His new mom, Carol, is extremely patient & spends a lot of time with PERCY giving him love & play time!

PERCY is one of the last Topsail colony rescued cats now with only Charlie & Lucy left to be adopted.  Dozens of cats and kittens were rescued from the Topsail colony over the last couple of years & now, all but 2, have “furrever” safe indoor homes.  It has been a journey.  Al, Sherry, Rick & Deb ALL came together & worked with me to make it all happen.

I am so thrilled for PERCY!  Lucy is more than ready for her opportunity and Charlie is still a work in progress but coming along nicely!

Our work is never done!

July 2022 If you want a big laid back boy, I could be the one for you! PERCY is my name and FURR rescued me from a colony of cats living at Topsail Beach!  I am about a year old now and what a handsome boy I am!  My fur is super soft and I love to be rubbed.  I have a very quiet nature and can be a teensy shy, but after petting me for a moment, I can purrrrr to beat the band!  My favorite thing is kitty treats and playing with all my buddies!  Why don’t you come meet me and see for yourself!  I am fully vetted & ready to go!
