Story
Twin boys: Special needs: shy but loving adult cats that need a peaceful home with their new human who is patient and can give them time to acclimate and settle into a new routine in their forever home. Felix & Shadow are feeling kinda lost. Their human died leaving them alone and in need of another quiet home. They had their one senior human who adored them. They are used to a quiet home where they can bask in the sun coming in the window and snack on Churu and feast on their favorite canned food. Felix is the one that will lay beside you and enjoy your company. Shadow prefers to hang out at the window or just lay about watching cat TV. Both cats are very mellow and just want that peaceful place to call home with their quiet human. These cats don’t move to a new location well but after settling in they get curious after about a week. The first few days at my house I didn’t see them but the food vanished. Slowly they acclimated and came out to hang out with me. Felix is my buddy and Shadow is my slightly more reserved friend. Both are tame but they are shy as they had never lived anywhere except their apartment with their senior human. If you can give Felix and Shadow the home they are looking for please fill out our adoption application: Furbabiesrescue.org Foster homes needed for all types of cats.

Lily is such a sweet and loving girl. She has been spayed, rabies vaccine, fvrcp vaccine, combo tested negative for FIV/FELV/HW, dewormed, Revolution plus 30-day topical flea treatment. Lily is a very sweet girl but she does not like other cats. She hasn't been around a dog so we don't know how she does around them but she would definitely need to be the only Kitty in the house.

Story
Special needs: senior in good health but seniors are special because they need more wellness checks and senior bloodwork. Please only adopt a senior if you are prepared for senior health issues that may come along. Midnight lost his human. Sadly, his human passed away, leaving him alone in his apartment. The family took great care of midnight until they found Fur Babies Rescue to foster him. He is a loving guy who wants lots of affection then he finds a sunny window to nap. He loves treats! He is a very easy and laid back cat once he gets comfortable on his new home. It took around a week for him to relax after getting to his foster home. His life got turned upside down and he is rolling with it now. He would love a very quiet home with his new human. He has used the litter box perfectly since arriving at his foster home. Midnight is exclusively an indoor cat. He has never been outside and would not know what to do. Please do not consider adopting him if he would be allowed outside. Apply to adopt or to become a foster home for all types of cats: Furbabiesrescue.org Midnight will get vaccine updates 2-11-25. We believe he is neutered but we will confirm that at his appointment also.

Iris was originally my boyfriend’s cat then when he moved in with me, she lived with the both of us. She’s sweet but a little skittish which is why we can’t keep her unfortunately. She’s a cuddly girl once she warms up to you!
