  • Mary is Adopted!

    Mary is Adopted!

    Update April 2020: Mary and Murphy adopted together! Check back soon for more on their adoption story.

    Original Post – February 2020 Amazing kitty that only comes along once in a while! Mary was a young mama at only 7-8 months old and took great care of her little ones. Mary is the sweetest cat EVER! Gets along great with other cats and LOVES people! Mary is beautiful, SOOOO soft and laid back as can be! Her 3 youngsters are also available for adoption: 3 little orange and white boys – Murphy, Mikey and Marty.

    Mary is especially close with Murphy, so it would mean the world to them to be adopted together!

    October 2019 Last night I got a call that gave me a heart attack!  Mama Mary kitty had escaped the foster home!  She had been gone a couple of hours, but I rushed over as soon as I found out.  I called a few FURR friends and we all set out to find her!  It was bad enough that she is a young “unspayed” mama kitty that could easily get pregnant again, but the thought of her getting hit by a car or worse, especially while having 3 little babies, was just more than we could imagine.With flashlights, golf carts and cars, we searched for her in the darkness.  I left at one point and came home to get a trap, some tuna and a crate to put the babies in outside……..anything to lure Mary back to safety and to her babies!Eleanor had come to help, and low and behold, she spotted Mama Mary across the street in some bushes!  Eleanor yelled for me and I ran across the street towards Mary trying not to frighten her.  As I approached her I got down low and talked sweet to her.  When she approached me within arms reach, I grabbed her, scruffed her neck and held her tightly!  She was a bit skittish and I was just wanting to get her inside ASAP before she got loose again!  HOORAY & THANK YOU ELEANOR!!!As it turns out, I decided to bring Mama Mary and her babies to the FURR rescue facility.  The little family is doing great and now I have cats in my office again!  Oh well!  Come and visit this adorable family!  It is worth seeing!I am just thrilled that Mary is safe and sound and that her babies are reunited with her.  Little ones only a couple weeks old need to be fed every four hours!  I’m not sure what in the world we would have done without Mary to feed her babies!  I am just so relieved that everyone is OK!

    Smuckers is Adopted!

    Update – July 2020 SMUCKERS HAS BEEN ADOPTED! She got an amazing home with some wonderful folks! They have a black kitty already and he and Smuckers are in love! I couldn’t be happier! She was such a delight to have and I miss her every day! Her piercing blue eyes were just so beautiful! Her bunny-like soft fur was unlike any other kitty……….she was funny, playful and just brought lots of sunshine to the FURR rescue and the other cats! I am really happy for her even though I miss her every day.

    Here are some pictures to show you how great she has adjusted! Missy still misses her, but I think she is now bonding with another FURR cat!

    Thank you Angela for caring for Skippie (mama cat) and Smuckers & siblings! You were so wonderful to foster them and “birth” them into your wonderful home! I’m sure that is why these kitties are SUPER LOVING !!!

    Her original Story:

    Smuckers is a drop dead gorgeous, soft and very playful kitty! Gorgeous and unique looking white female kitten with piercing blue eyes and 3 little black spots on her head! This sweet kitten is looking for her FURREVER home and would love to go there with her FURRever friend, MISSY. To meet them both is to love them!! Both are very, very friendly! Come meet them and see for yourself!

Please spend time with her and let her know she is loved! She is, of course, on pain meds!!! She must stay in her cage until at least Friday. Then I will discuss with JUDY about letting her out!

    TWO OF SAMANTHA’S KITTENS: ALTO & ADANTE left for their new home! They are doing great & will be picked up by me in about 3 weeks to complete their neuter surgery and shots. The young lady that adopted them is absolutely inundated with them & having a ball! Right now, they are in her bedroom playing, climbing on their new cat tree, playing with toys and enjoying their new home!!!

    Original Post:

    MOM SAMANTHA has had her tough moments, but was lucky to be rescued by FURR just in time! She was living in the woods, trying to make it on her own when a good samaritan called FURR! SAMANTHA was just about to POP with babies and she was emaciated, covered in fleas and in a pretty bad state! FURR took her in and got her healthy, birthed SEVEN little babies and now the family is doing GREAT! SAMANTHA is only about 2 years old and she is very attached to the little boy kitten that looks just like her! It is so cute to see them together! FURR would really love it if someone would adopt the pair together! We will give a discount on the adoption fee just to keep them as a pair. SAMANTHA and NOCTURNE are completely vetted, blood checked, fixed, etc. They are both amazingly sweet! NOCTURNE is quite playful and just bounces around, where SAMANTHA puts up with his nonsense and just loves to cuddle with him! Come and visit this adorable mom & baby soon!!!
