Davis kitten playing – Sept 2025
September 1, 2025 New FURR rescue! Davis is an adorable 3 to 4 month old silver tabby male kitten! FUN, FUN, FUN!
My niece found this little guy almost dead in the bushes of her front yard! Anemic from hundreds of fleas, skin & bones from starvation and FULL of worms, this kitten was on his way out.
My niece’s husband wrapped him in a towel and brought him inside. I got a call and we all went to work!
After a couple weeks of meds, food and a flea bath, this little boy kitten is doing great! He is the sweetest and happiest fella!
His name is “Davis” and he is ready now for his neuter surgery!
What a great rescue!!!

Dec. 6, 2025 – Adorable Wildflower (above) is still available! more on her wonderful story below.
Fern with new mom – Dec 2025
Dec. 6, 2025 – Our silly little FERN (shown left with new Mom) now has a new & wonderful home! Her new adopters have a SWEET older kitty & wanted a 2nd!
FERN has hit the jackpot with this couple and I’m confident that she will be loved & cared for!!! The older kitty is super friendly & curious about everything (just like FERN!)
I’m soooo happy for this kitten that was trapped with 3 siblings living in the woods before FURR came to the rescue!
Hooray!
Nov. 13, 2025 Beautiful Wildflower and Fern are still available! See the September updates below for new photos of these sweet girls!
Nov. 7, 2025Forrest is adopted! It didn’t take long for this BEAUTIFUL kitten to get adopted! I delivered him today after interviews, meetings, home visit & application! This couple has another BEAUTIFUL young 3 yr old cat that is really sweet & needed a friend! I think it’s a great match & im so happy for my kitten trapped from the woods in Rocky Point!
Forrest with new family – Nov 2025
It’s so hard to say goodbye to these kitties, but I know i have to. Adoptions give homes to former homeless cats and opens a space to save another one!
Im looking forward to seeing pictures of FORREST & his new future girlfriend kitty playing together!
He will be missed at FURR!!!
Oct. 20, 2025Woody is adopted along with Autumn! Wildflower, Fern and Forrest are still available – please see their stories below.
A really nice couple with 2 sweet little girls came to FURR a couple of times to look at kitties. Over the weekend, they texted me that they had made a decision & wanted AUTUMN & WOODY!!!
Autumn (L) and Woody (R) at their new Home – Oct 2025
I trimmed the 2 kitty’s nails, copied all the paperwork, packed up food & litter & delivered them today. I cried! I’m not so attached to Woody because he is a kitten (and everybody loves kittens) but Autumn was quite special to me. I trapped her as a feral cat & we worked with her for over a year. She turned out to be extremely grateful for her rescue! The lady that fed her (and 2 other cats) left them abandoned & moved away leaving all 3 cats.
I trapped all 3. Two of the cats went to another rescue and I kept Autumn (i was too full already).
Anyway, Autumn turned around & became a hilarious, fun-loving kitty with a BIG personality! She loved to rub on everybody’s face & head. I called her the “hair messer-upper” cat!
I will send more pictures later, but both Autumn & Woody settled right in and I’m so happy for both of them. I wish them a wonderful life from here forward & I am grateful that I could be their beginning!
Sept. 22, 2025 Adorable updated photos of these kittens – now youngsters! In order from left to right in the photo above:
WILDFLOWER – Long haired girl gray tabby colored WOODY – Short haired boy light orange/buff colored FERN – Short haired girl gray tabby colored FORREST– Long haired boy bright orange tabby colored
August 26, 2025 It turns out that Kathy & her granddaughter, Maxine, we’re RIGHT when they told me that little Wildflower sounded like she was having trouble breathing.
After a couple days of sounding funny, Wildflower got a LOT worse & sounded like she was struggling to breathe.
Woody – Aug 2025
I rushed her to Sound Cat & they sedated her & examined her throat saying she needed to be scoped with an endoscope to really see what’s going on.
NC State told me that I could come up, but would be on a waiting list to get her scoped. No thanks @ $1,000 a day! The Wilmington Animal ER said that their doc that does the endoscopic exams was booked this week & on vacation next week!
My sister & I worked quickly to fine a vet with a scope & thank goodness, Needham Animal Hospital had one & a very well known vet named Dr. Batts that said he could see Wildflower the NEXT day!
I took her to Dr. Batts & he did surgery on her! She had a lump in her throat that he had to remove. Luckily, after worrying about it, she came out of surgery fine! The lump was biopsied & was not cancer & was not a polyp. It was caused by some sort of trauma to her throat & could be from her spay surgery. We will never know, but she is doing great now!
WHEWWW!
The growth is not expected to return according to Dr. Batts.
What a blessing!!! This beautiful little angel is ready for adoption!
Fern relaxing – Aug 2025

Scrappy and Mom at new home 3-11-25
March 12, 2025 Great news! Scrappy (male, black) has been adopted! This sweeeeet boy was DUMPED at scrap yard along with his sister. He was skinny and didn’t really know what was happening to him, but he (and his sister) was rescued by FURR!
SCRAPPY quickly became a favorite lover boy at our rescue. He was so gentle and kind even though he was unsure about his future. He trusted us and became a gorgeous, shiny golden eyed boy!
Scrappy happily posing – Oct 2024
My niece has adopted him so that keeps him in my family! I’m so happy for her and Scrappy! He is doing really great right off the bat!
Her long-term roommate has an orange male kitty the exact same age as Scrappy! Gradually they will meet and hopefully be able to play together! Right now Scrappy is making air biscuits, purring up a storm and loving all the attention he is getting! HOORAY for a black cat adoption!!!
October 19, 2024 Scrappy is a beautiful, SWEET, adorable, big-eyed, BOY!!! See his new photo on the right. Yardley is also friendly and purrs when you hold her!
Poor skinny, scared Yardley soon after rescue – July 2024
Who will LOVE one or both of these babies for life??? Someone LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY!!!
July 24, 2024 Kristy, a FURR Volunteer, notified me about some cats living in a junk yard in Burgaw, NC, near Wilmington.
Scrappy-L-Yardley-R-July-2024
Watch videos of Scrappy and Yardley at FURR on August 13, 2024!
She met the man that owns it and took some food for the poor skinny cats. There is a mama cat, 2 male cats and 2 kittens.
With Kristy’s help, we trapped the 2 kittens and took them to the Cape Fear S/N clinic last week. My intention was to get them fixed, shots, etc., and release them again. However, the kittens are young and sooo skinny! They are about 10-12 weeks old. I have had them recovering at my feral cat sanctuary.
The 2 kittens are “Yardley”, a female Domestic Short Hair gray tabby, and “Scrappy”, a male Domestic Short Hair with black fur.
They started out scared to death and eyes bigger than saucers. Now, a week later, they seem glad to see me, I’m petting and holding both of them and they are purring! They will be moved up to the house, and join Connor, after quarantine.
Another rescue group is helping me TNR the mama and other 2 male cats. The sad part is that the mama tabby is really skittish, but wants love. She could easily be tamed and adopted out, but I just don’t have any room at this time.

Rocky relaxing – Aug 2025
December 12, 2024 Both “Cocoa”, a 6-8 month old black female, and “Rocky”, a 2 year old gray tabby male, are now fixed, microchipped, shots, blood tested, etc. Now all they need is time and patience to get them ready for an indoor homes. Watch their video!
Cocoa and Rocky 12-12-2024
We would GREATLY appreciate anyone foster home for these two since we have no where to put them but in a small cage. Both are healthy, beautiful and progressing nicely.
We did receive a donation to cover their cost (thank GOD!), so their current vet bills have been paid!!!
November 28, 2024 I successfully caught 2 feral cats early Tues am in Holly Ridge! My realtor called me because she was moving and had been feeding them. She didn’t want to just leave them behind.
I took traps to her and showed her how to set them up. The traps were left open for about a week and she fed them inside the traps to get them used to it. Tues morning early I caught them, just as planned and took them to the S/N clinic in Castle Hayne.
FURR now has “Cocoa”, a 6-8 month old black female, and “Rocky”, a 2 year old gray tabby male who has a raccoon-looking tail like the cartoon character “Rocky Racoon”.
Rocky is rescued 11-26-24Cocoa is rescued 11-26-24
My realtor had hoped to keep them at her house for recovery and I loaned her a cage, but trying to take care of these kitties and moving at the same time understandably became overwhelming! So these cats are now at the FURR Sanctuary recovering from their surgery and traumatic day! They are both beautiful and I’m at least relieved that they are safe.

March 8, 2026 Update on Flounder – Its been a challenge & very, very slow improvement, but I can finally say, I am hopeful, as you can see in his latest video.
A couple days ago, FLOUNDER began nibbling a little bit on his dry food. He is also drinking a little water on his own.
Yesterday, he took a brief moment to pick his paw.
Today, he was purring & that made me cry. After 11 days of tube feeding this kitty 3 times a day while his eyes were closed, he just laid there with his head buried, I’m finally seeing some improvement.
Feb. 25, 2026 After successful dental surgery, Flounder is not doing well in recovery this week.
Flounder is the little black feral I took to Sound Cat last Monday & had all his teeth pulled (to the tune of $1,700!!!), but unfortunately, he has not done well so far.
I dropped him off at Sound Cat, our Vet, this am. He is not eating, he is very lethargic & quite congested.
Please say a prayer for this little feral cat. He doesn’t deserve any of this!
Feb. 15, 2026 Urgent Fundraiser needed for poor Flounder’s dental issues! For the fast couple of weeks, I noticed him, one of the black feral kitties in the FURR Sanctuary, seemed thin, lethargic and not well.
I noticed that Flounder started to seem congested also, so I had to get him to the vet. After several days, I finally got Flounder in my net and got him to Sound Cat. It is so difficult to care for a feral colony because the cats are not tame. It is extremely difficult to catch them.
Flounder – dental issues before surgery – Feb 2026
Flounder had horrible breath, horrible teeth and needs a full mouth of dental extractions! He also had a horrible infection and was dripping bloody mucus from his nose as you can see in this photo. How painful and horrible for him!
He is scheduled for dental surgery on Feb. 16. It will cost around $1,200 – $1,500 for him in addition to the $300 I’ve already spent from his original vet assessment last week.
Feb. 7, 2026 New video of Marty enjoying affection and life in general now that he’s seeing and feeling much better!
Jan. 28, 2026 Update on MARTY! HE is doing fantastic! I sent a picture of his eyes to the specialist vet & she was very pleased!
I really think MARTY is happier now that he can see better! He doesn’t flinch as much when I’m touching him and he just seems to be in a better happier state!
Of course, he is on pain meds for a few days, so that can’t hurt. He takes his meds like a champ.
Can you believe this is the same cat!???
Look at these before & after pictures. Also, we will have enough donations to cover his surgery!!!
Jan. 27, 2026 EYE SURGERY SUCCESSFUL! The vet said it went very well! MARTY was a trooper the whole time. I had to give him a pill early this am to sedate him a little bit per the vet’s request. I was able to pill him with ease. He trusts me so much now, that he cooperates with any of my requests!
I took him in early for surgery (no problems whatsoever with loading him in a carrier or riding in the car!) I talked with him during the car ride just to try to ease his mind. He never made a peep.
I picked him up later today & the surgery was over & went well, but MARTY was still sedated. I couldn’t see his eyes because he was sleeping.
This evening he was more alert, ate his dinner & took a pain pill I gave him with no hesitation. He eyes were partially open & looked a little reddish & swollen. The vet told me it would be a few days before he would look normal.
I will send before & after pics in a few days.
Terry with Marty – Jan 2026
Jan. 25, 2026 FUNDRAISER for MARTY’s EYE SURGERY $1,200! MARTY is having eye surgery! Last week I took him to the animal eye specialist and she agreed that surgery would help him see better. It will also make him a lot more handsome, even though I think he is adorable just the way he is!
MARTY’S 3rd eyelids do not retract and we don’t know why. It could be from his many fights & injuries. It inhibits his sight because the 3rd eyelids are always up.
There was an opening on the surgery schedule for this MONDAY, Jan 26th, so I scheduled him for then! (Hope the weather holds out)
Im excited to be able to help him see better! His surgery plus office visit will run about $1,200.
I will follow up with everyone after his surgery!
Say a little prayer for MARTY that surgery goes well & fixes another part of his poor broken down body!
Jan. 16, 2026 Update on Marty in this video, watch him enjoy Terry loving on him like they’ve been friends forever! Eating well, fur coat healthy and soft and a sweet boy to boot!
Terry works with Marty – Dec 22, 2025
Dec. 23, 2025 Update: Marty’s Transformation continues, broken leg healing, enjoys the other kitties and trusts Terry when she works with him in this video.
He’s come a long way, though we’re still working on his eye and leg issue.
Sept. 9, 2025 Watch this video of MARTY last night showing his progress!
Today, I picked him up after his dental surgery surgery to address his many broken teeth, roots exposed, hurtful gums, etc..
Today the Vet gave me some major news about Marty’s ordeal before his rescue.
MARTY has been SHOT at least 3 times in his legs! He had THIRTEEN teeth removed & 3 of those were major extractions (broken & painful canines!), he has a left ankle that has been injured, calcified & immobile. All of this that happened to this cat PLUS chewed off ears (or frost bitten), torn 3rd eyelids in both eyes limiting his sight slightly, scars everywhere (dr Rockwell said she shaved his leg to put in an IV, and it was all scar tissue!) AND he is somehow alive!!!
I have NO idea what im going to do with him, but whatever it is, he will be better off than he was!
Pray for MARTY’S recovery. Very similar to GORDON’s story, Marty is now needs huge-hearted, selfless adopter, like Heather, to take him in!
Aug. 29, 2025 A feral cat has been frequenting the back yard of FURR. My horrible & blurry ADT cameras showed a cat lurking around, but nothing was clear. About 6-8 weeks ago, i set up a trap to try to catch it.
Marty after trapping – Aug 29, 2025
The cat seemed VERY feral & leary of the trap. I tied the trap open & put food near it. As the cat continued to eat the food, I slowly moved the food further & further into the trap.
Interestingly enough, if i moved the food more than an inch at the time, the cat wouldnt show up for a couple of days! Smart kitty….very observant.
Finally, after weeks of putting out food & tuna EVERY night, i finally set the trap to go off & i got him!
Thank goodness! This kitty was a MESS!
It turns out that this was one of 2 feral cats a lady had fed for years. She lived down the road from FURR, but left & moved back to Maryland leaving the 2 cats alone. I found out that it wasn’t because she didnt care about them. She couldn’t catch them! She had several rescue groups all attempt to catch the 2 cats, but no luck.
Well, I now have “Marty” in my care.

When we rescued him, he had a horrible mouth and needed teeth pulled, and so now thankfully had successful dental surgery in July 2024. Salmon has also recovered from a severe UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) earlier this year and spending time in the hospital. He is now on special food now and enjoying life in the FURR adoptable kitties house.
He has come a long way behaviorally as well since his initial rescue has really begun to trust us & now loves scratches and rubs! He blinks his eyes in content especially when getting scratched right in front of his tail!
This BEAUTIFUL buff kitty is ready for adoption! He is only a couple years young and is a kind soul. He loves the other kitties too.
So glad Salmon is improving every day and enjoying his life!
