March 1, 2026 PawPrints Magazine features Blue Marlin on the cover of it’s March 2026 issue!

What a handsome boy!

Read Blue Marlin’s article!

He’s more in need of a FURR-ever home than ever after his brother and best friend, Blue Fish, passed away last month. Read their photos and rescue story below.

Feb. 15, 2026 Sadly, BLUE FISH went to Heaven this past week.

The foster who has BLUE MARLIN & BLUE FISH called me urgently & said that BLUE FISH was struggling to breathe.

I told her to rush him to the emergency vet.  BLUE FISH was checked out, had xrays & was put on oxygen.

The xrays showed his airways were blocked & his lungs were struggling.  It was told to me that he would not improve.  Sadly & suddenly, this precious beautiful boy had to be put to sleep. 

It just rips your heart out to think about a 2 yr old kitty leaving this world so soon.  He leaves behind his loving partner, Blue Marlin.  The 2 cats were inseparable.

The “Blues Brothers” as I called them, have been together for 2 years.  They are not really brothers and were a year apart, but they looked alike and were attached.

I asked the foster to keep me posted on how Blue Marlin was handling things, and she told me that he seemed to be ok….

Meanwhile, I have to go pick up Blue Fish’s ashes tomorrow and that will be hard.

The foster still wants to get Blue Marlin out of her house asap because of the dog that they purchased that wants to chase & possibly eat the cat.

Please say a prayer for Blue Fish who has crossed over the rainbow bridge.  He was adorable, sweet & way way too young to leave this world.  I am just in disbelief.

Of course, i have to pay all his bills tomorrow for private cremation & vet hospital when I pick him up.  It’s just awful.

I hope we can find a home for Blue Marlin really soon.  He deserves a fresh start.

2025 – Perch now lives in FURR’s Sanctuary.

September 4, 2025 These poor cats had been adopted before, by another person who loved them, and she returned them when her house was condemned.  The house had a bat problem that couldn’t be fixed.

Now, BLUE FISH & BLUE MARLIN are up for adoption again.  They are beautiful, soft Russian Blue mix kitties, both with a white spot on their chest.

The two brothers have the same parents, but are a year apart from 2 different litters.  They came from the torn down seafood production plant where I rescued 70 cats.

These are the sweetest cats ever and are now, probably, around 5 years old.  They have been through so much.

May 19, 2025 Terry has decided it’s best for Perch to remain at FURR, living our Sanctuary with plenty of FURR-friends and all the kitty comforts, so he is no longer available for adoption.

October 20, 2024 Watch Blue Marlin’s new video! How could ANYONE “NOT” want this teddy bear and possibly one of his brothers!!!  This cat is like BIG pillow and soooo kind and sweet!

July 20, 2024 These two handsome brothers are doing great, having recently been returned to FURR, so once again they’re looking for a new home.   Terry adopted out Perch & Blue Marlin a couple months ago, however the adopter’s situation recently changed and, sadly, they are no longer able to keep these kitties.

While Terry follows a careful, thorough process to evaluate and approve interested adopters, sometimes things just don’t work out as planned. Fortunately, FURR accepts returns of kitties originally adopted from us to ensure they never again end up where they started – homeless and in need of rescue!

Nov 2023 See how sweet and handsome Blue Marlin is in this latest photo and his new video! His brother, Perch, is not shown but they look just alike!

July 2023 I’m the sweetest boy and just a teensy shy, but OH I’m so soft and I love to be petted!!!  I get along great with all the other kitties and everyone at FURR loves me!  I am about a year old. I have a brother named Perch (mentioned in our Seafood Colony article) we look just alike!  What’s more beautiful than a silvery smooth Russian Blue mix!!! 

Feb. 6, 2026🐾 PAWS FOR THE CAUSE – FOX WILMINGTON 🐾

Terry appears on Fox News Wilmington’s “Paws for the Cause” Program with Salvie! Watch their video!

Meet this beautiful 8-month-old female kitty who is ready for her forever home! 💕

She is already spayed, up to date on shots, blood tested, and ready to go. This sweet girl is a domestic short-haired dilute gray tortie with an incredibly soft coat and a BIG personality!

✨ What makes her special:
• Sweet, affectionate, and playful
• Energetic and loves to chat
• Doesn’t like other cats and has NO idea she’s one!
• Absolutely LOVES people and being the center of attention

She would do best as the only cat, soaking up all the love and cuddles from her humans. 🐱💙

Dec. 14, 2025 Yesterday my niece called me.  She & her roommate went to the Salvation Army to drop off some things and a young kitty came running up to them screaming for food & attention.

They asked the SA folks about the cat & they had called animal control to pick her up.  Several employees were allergic to cats, so they did not want her hanging around the store.

No doubt, someone dumped her there. She was extremely sweet.

My niece asked me to take her & I agreed to take her under FURR, but that she would have to foster her until we had room.

“SALVIE” is really precious, not microchipped & now safe, warm & fed in my niece’s bathroom!

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.

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!

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!

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