Story
This sweet girl was found as a stray. She was brought to Furry Friends Refuge to be spayed, when it was discovered she has a birth defect to her front left leg, but she gets around just great. Her Sternum did not form properly before she was born, so her heart is only protected by her skin. She absolutely LOVES people and wants nothing more than to be pet and loved. If you have a safe quiet place in your life for this sweet girl, please contact us to meet her and her foster mom will answer any questions.

Marvin is a miracle man who survived a fire that engulfed his home. He was thought to not have made it, but here he is! Since the loss of his previous home and coming to Furry Friends in January of this past year Marvin has been looking for a new home to start a new life with a family who will love him for who he is. He is a very shy guy who is asking for a calm house. He does well with other cats and is happy when he finds comfy spots to nap and relax.

Story
Meet the guy with the most gorgeous eyes you'll ever see, Bebo! This lovely young man is a bit on the shy side, but once he is comfortable with you, he'll prove to be a very sweet little cat. Bebo is a visual learner, and has learned that humans aren't so scary through seeing people interact with other cats. He's a big fan of the backscratcher and brushes. He's also learning that being pet by hand can be pretty cool, too. Bebo lived with dogs before, and wouldn't mind living with other four legged animals. He would also be fine as a solo cat. He isn't a big fan of loud noises, and would prefer a quiet home with people that understand he will need time to adjust. Bebo is looking forward to finding his perfect home with his perfect people, so stop by and meet him today!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bebe is a super shy and timid girl who is looking for a family to take things slow and let her come out at her own pace. Bebe loves other cats and takes a lot of comfort knowing there are other four legged friends around. She would love to go to a home with another more confident cat that can show her that the inside life is pretty amazing. Once she gets comfortable you will find that this beauty actually loves pets and attention, but often is too scared to ask for them herself. But if you give her a chance we know you will fall in love.
