My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please note there is no need to complete an adoption questionnaire on this page.

We only need our Adoption Application Questionnaire completed at:

October 17, 2024  Watch his new video! TUX is doing well in his large holding pen at the sanctuary.  This poor cat is skin & bones, but for a week now he is eating and drinking everything i put in front of him!  He must have been starving.

TUX has been easy to care for & although he is scared and timid, I have been able to pet & stroke him without incident.

This is good and bad!  I am completely full at FURR, but i know if I release TUX into the sanctuary, I won’t be able to work with him every day.

He really seems like he wants love and he is a young cat around 2 -4 years old.

October 9, 2024  So a cat has been seen running by my sanctuary in the evenings.  I’ve been putting food & water out for it.  The cat seemed pretty feral, was VERY skinny and I knew I had to help him.

At first I thought he was black and could be one of my missing ferals!  However, when I finally got a good look at him on my outside cameras, I could see that he did not have a tipped ear & he was actually a Tuxedo (white belly, chest & paws).

I was able to humanely trap him last night and I took him to the S/N clinic today.

He is, in fact, a boy (not neutered), very thin, covered in fleas, no collar and no microchip.  He hissed at me several times showing his disapproval of the events of the day!

But now, he has settled in his large recovery cage (large chicken coop) and is resting.  

Calling him “Tux” since he will be the only tuxedo in the sanctuary…..as bad as that name is!

Tux tested negative for FIV & FeLV & HW and is now neutered, had all his shots, is microchipped, dewormed and treated for fleas.

FURR is seeking morning and evening volunteers for our rescue facility located in Hampstead. If you are interested in volunteering at our rescue facility please contact Terry at adoptafurrcat@gmail.com.

More about this rescue

F.U.R.R. is a small, non-profit organization made up of volunteers that have rescued and helped hundreds of cats that were in dire need and had no other humans to turn to. These include injured cats, sick cats, feral cats, cats whose owners had died without making arrangements for their pets, abandoned cats that were left when their owners moved, homeless mom cats with kittens, homeless kittens whose mom cat had died…the list goes on and on. Basically they are mostly homeless and unwanted cats that would have been euthanized in a shelter, died on the streets from an illness or accident, or continued to reproduce and add to the cat overpopulation problem.

Not only has F.U.R.R. helped the cats, but we've also helped many people in our community, people who have feral or stray cats overpopulation problems. Equally important is that many, many F.U.R.R. rescued kitties have been adopted and are now safe and loved!

Our cats and kittens are adopted to families and individuals to approved homes. An interview and a completed adoption application are required, and you will have the opportunity to meet the cat or kitten you are interested in. All applications will be carefully screened, and veterinary and personal references will be called.

All F.U.R.R. cats and kittens have been tested for FIV, FeLV, heartworms, and have been treated for parasites (fleas, worms, ear mites). They also receive distemper/combo vaccinations, a 1 year rabies vaccination, and are already spayed or neutered if old enough.

There is an adoption fee but this is a very small price to pay for a fully vetted cat or kitten, and the love you will receive from your new kitty!

Some of our kitties are residing in foster homes, but most of them live in the F.U.R.R. rescue facility, while they are waiting to be adopted. If you would like to meet a particular cat, or would like to meet several of the kitties, please contact Terry at adoptafurrcat@gmail.com to arrange a visit to meet the kitties.

You can also visit us at our web site at http://www.catfurr.org.

F.U.R.R. is only able to rescue these wonderful cats & kittens because of donations from kind and generous people like you. Please help save a kitty's life by making a contribution to F.U.R.R.! Your donations are used for testing for FIV, FeLV, heartworms, vaccinations, and spay/neuter for rescued cats and kittens. Every $ counts and gets us that much closer to saving another kitty!
