GIRLFRIEND IN BED WITH LINDA – 2017
ADOPTED in January 2018!
The wonderful, incredible lady named “Linda” that adopted our rescued kitty “BOYFRIEND” called to say she was coming to visit. She lives in OHIO and if you remember, Kathleen one of our very devoted & long time volunteers…….who is also a flight attendant), kindly flew BOYFRIEND to OHIO AND drove him to meet Linda. BOYFRIEND has turned out to be the love of Linda & her husband’s life, but Linda occasionally asked about GIRLFRIEND, the kitty that was rescued with BOYFRIEND. We still had GIRLFRIEND here at FURR. She was pregnant when we saved her and she ultimately had kittens. GIRLFRIEND was so emaciated that she could barely produce enough milk for her babies. We took the best care of her that we could, and thankfully all of the babies made it. They were all absolutely gorgeous and have since all been adopted to wonderful homes.
Linda said that she wanted to meet me and come to FURR while in town. Se said that she definitely wanted to meet GIRLFRIEND. I explained to Linda that GIRLFRIEND was drop dead gorgeous, but she was still very shy and scared. We could love on her, pet her, brush her and love on her, but she would still occasionally hiss (for no good reason) and she was very scared of being picked up. Linda wanted to meet the kitty that BOYFRIEND loved at one time!!!
BOYFRIEND is a whole other story for me to tell…….he is doing fantastic and besides being the love of their lives, he has actually done some miraculous things that make him even more special than we ever thought possible!!!
Linda met me and GIRLFRIEND – Linda is sooooo much like me! She is so emotional about the cats and can really feel for their thoughts and look deep into their hearts. Linda just loved petting GIRLFRIEND and enjoyed spending time soothing her and petting her. She fell in love with her! The next thing I knew, she said that she wanted to take her home to OHIO and let her live with and be with BOYFRIEND again! OMG!!!
We started working on the plans, and Linda wanted to fly her home the next day when she was returning to OH. I was such an emotional wreck knowing that GIRLFRIEND was leaving AND that she was going to be on a plane!!! …………but, knowing her ultimate home was absolutely wonderful and a dream come true, I knew it just had to work out!!! Praying to GOD that all goes well, I called Kathleen who is experienced with this “cat flying” stuff! Kathleen assured me and Linda that all would be ok and that GIRLFRIEND “would” have to be taken out of the carrier while TSA took the carrier out of room. I was so scared that GIRLFRIEND would freak out or get away!!!
Believe it or not, all went great! Linda was confident and wonderful! She took GIRLFRIEND out of the carrier in a small room and waited for the carrier to be returned. GIRLFRIEND tucked her head in Linda’s lap and never moved! She went back into her carrier and off they went!
Well, it gets better!!!
GIRLFRIEND got to Linda’s house and did great! She is in the bedroom with Linda, her husband and BOYFRIEND! GIRLFRIEND was even on the bed with them and slept with them the first night! I have a picture that will just bring tears to your eyes! When they say that there is a happy story waiting for every rescued cat, well, this one is TRUE!!!
I am forever grateful to Linda for loving GIRLFRIEND and giving her a loving home. I miss GIRLFRIEND so much, but I just couldn’t be happier! This is truly one of the happiest stories I had the privilege of telling!!!
BLESSINGS TO LINDA, HER HUSBAND, BOYFRIEND & GIRLFRIEND!!! (I know I have posted a LOT of pictures, but what better way to tell her story!!!)

MAMA EXXON – Paula came to FURR, along with her friend & our volunteer Kathleen, and Paula was wanting a friend for Meow Meow! She was determined to get a cat that “needed” a home and one that was a young adult. Paula picked our dear sweet Mama Exxon!!! I was thrilled but cried my eyes out…..this poor sweet kitty has been through so much in her lifetime! Read her Miracle Wall Story!
VILLA – Has gone to an amazing home with her two new loving parents!!! She will have an amazingly HUGE house to run around in and she will be spoiled rotten!
SUN CITY MAMA KITTY, PUTT PUTT AND MINEY – A great family that had lost their older kitty recently decided it was time to get a couple of new family members. The family saw us at PetSmart, but literally couldn’t decide between the cats! They seemed to love them all…Putt Putt and Miney both approached the kids lovingly and playfully. Then, the Dad went into the adult rooms and really liked Sun City Mama Kitty! After a family discussion, they decided to take all three!
SASSY – A few months a girl called Terry saying she saw Sassy on Petfinder and wanted her. She had lost her white kitty to Cardiomyopathy a few months earlier. Sassy reminded her of him. Sassy did a few tricks and was on her best behavior. Long story short I delivered Sassy to her new home the day before Thanksgiving.
SHINEY & PEWTER – Shiney and Pewter went to their new home and I still can’t believe that these two Wilmington EXXON cats were trapped, rescued and NOW live in a penthouse apartment at SOUTHPARK!
VILLA – Has gone to an amazing home with her two new loving parents!!! She will have an amazingly HUGE house to run around in and she will be spoiled ROTTEN!!!
SASSY – A few months a girl called Terry saying she saw Sassy on Petfinder and wanted her. She had lost her white kitty a few months early and Sassy reminded her of him. She met Sassy and fell in love. Sassy did a few trick and was on her best behavior. Long story short I delivered Sassy to her new home the day before Thanksgiving. She was shy when I left her but she is coming out now. She has even done some tricks for Ashley and her husband.
DILLIE – Adorable little angel was found by an elderly lady in the middle of the highway! She said when she saw this baby in the street and when she opened her door, the kitten came running up to her!
ROBIN & SONNY – A family had been evicted due to their house being CONDEMNED! All of the “OUTDOOR” cats would have no where to go. My friend trapped the mama kitty and her 3 teeny babies. She has kept the mom & 3 babies for 2 months in a foster home. So, foster mom fell in love with MAMA and one of the babies! The two kittens I got are down right GORGEOUS! SONNY is a long haired spotted tabby!!!! VERY unique and very soft & GORGEOUS! His brother, ROBIN, is a little bigger than SONNY and he is a long haired black & white kitty with gray in his fur.
ANKLET & PANDORA – Pandora and her younger sister Anklet were rescued from a horrible situation living behind a gas station. Both are torties, very similar in color and markings, with Pandora having a light stripe between her eyes which enables you to easily tell them apart. They are affectionate and exceptionally friendly – always there to greet you at the door and ready to play.
BLUE JEAN & BLACK JACK – BLUE JEAN is a BEAUTIFUL Russian Blue color with WHITE, this little boy is sooooo quiet and reserved! Unlike his brother BLACK JACK, BLUE JEAN is very calm and just loves to be held & loved on! BLACK JACK is a little more adventurous & spunky, but as different as the two brothers are, they are attached at the hip!
