Story
All the way from the island of Grenada, Marble came down with urinary crystals and needed prescription food. With Covid and supply chain issues, the owner was unable to obtain the food she needs. A chaperone was found and Marble flew to Charlotte, NC. A friend picked her up at the airport and we fetched her from there. She is now in Wilmington, NC and getting the food and treatment she needs. She will likely need to stay on her prescription diet the rest of her life. Other than this, she is a happy and healthy young lady. Marble is an unusually dark grey and white tuxedo. She is very friendly and chatty at times. She would do fine with children or a nice dog, but other cats make her very uncomfortable. She is affectionate and likes to sleep on a cat tree or the end of the bed. Marble needs a stress free home where she can get her prescription diet. Stress can be a big factor in causing another flare up. She enjoys lounging in the sun, so could be an indoor/outdoor cat in the right neighborhood, or a home with a screened in porch.  Applications will be considered for the Wilmington, NC area to those 21 or older. http://www.felinematchmakers.org ##1401046##

Story
Shannon was heavily pregnant when some people in Jacksonville, NC started feeding her. She had her kittens in a shelter they set up for her under thier car port. We took her in and she has done a great job with her kittens. She can be shy at first, but she really enjoys being an indoor cat and we suspect she was once before she got out and got pregnant. She is very young and has done great with her litter of 5 kittens. Shannon loves chin scratches and pets. She doesn't mind other kitties if they are nice to her.

Story
Pretty Mulberry was a pregnant stray found in Castle Hayne, NC. When she came to us, she was heavily pregnant. Once safe in foster care, she had 4 kittens about a week later, then took in 2 orphans. She was such a good mama! She is sweet as can be and we suspect this may have been her first litter, but we know it's her last! She is very young and in great health. She is fine with dogs and we suspect she would do great with respectful children, as she has a very gentle nature. She appears to have angel wings, so we are not surprised! Mulberry has some minor allergies, but does require a limited ingredient food choice. We have allergy screened her and will provide her rusults along with a list of foods she can eat. All Feline Matchmakers cats get age appropriate vaccinations, fixed, tested and microchipped prior to adoption.

Story
Hello,  Hi, I’m Blue Eyes, a 6 year old gorgeous tabby, if I do say so myself. Not only am I sweet and loving, but I get along with other cats and would be ok with dogs, with enough time and patience for introductions. I enjoy exploring my foster mom’s catio and laying in the warm sun looking for birds and squirrels from a safe distance. I like batting around small toys and scratching posts. More than anything else, I want a person of my very own! I eat Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health wet and dry food to prevent crystals. This is not prescription and does not cost that much more than regular Purina food, and you can buy it at any pet store, Chewy, Amazon and many grocery stores. *Please note: I do not attend most adoption events, so please contact All 4 Cats if you are interesting in adopting me, thank mew!     Read the description above to know the location of this cat.

ve you ever seen a curly-haired orange cat?   My name is Shirley Temple and I am a sassy and classy girl who is very good about making her opinion known--I am quite vocal.  I always want to be around my people, getting attention, and getting cuddles and pets.  I like to sleep right night to you, and my purr can be heard from across the house.  I’m playful and will be a great constant companion for someone.  I’m a diva, but I do well around friendly cats with a proper introduction.  Send us a message to meet me in my foster home   Read the description above to know the location of this cat.

Who will LOVE one or both of these babies for life???  Someone LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY!!! Watch Scrappy at FURR on Aug. 13, 2024 (copy/paste link into browser): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mrT905juwJY Watch Yardley at FURR on Aug. 13, 2024 (copy/paste link into browser): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/grSbo8QTAIk   July 24, 2024 Kristy, a FURR Volunteer, notified me about some cats living in a junk yard in Burgaw, NC, near Wilmington.  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.

Meet Cali and Cairo; A Bonded Pair of Loving Brothers Cali and Cairo are two affectionate, sweet-natured brothers who are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. They are both incredibly loving and enjoy cuddling, especially at night when they love to curl up in bed with you. At almost three years old (they will turn three in April), they are gentle souls who have never scratched, hissed, or bitten anyone. They thrive as indoor-only cats and are used to a routine of being fed wet food twice a day. Rehoming them is truly one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make due to a change in my living situation. I am seeking someone who can give them the love and care they deserve, ideally providing them with an even better life than I can. If you are looking for two incredibly loyal companions, Cali and Cairo could be the perfect fit for your home.

Story
My dear friend recently passed away, and her husband is now dealing with congestive heart failure. He'll be in rehab for several weeks and will soon transition to a care facility and is unable to keep sweet Dottie. Dottie is a friendly and affectionate cat who has lived both indoors and outdoors and used to sleep with her owner. She's up to date on her shots, gets along well with other cats, and tolerates dogs. She's very sweet and enjoys being brushed, vacuumed, and even patted on her belly and bum. She may need litter box training; I'm not sure. My friend originally rescued Dottie from the street when she was just a kitten, and she's been a loyal companion ever since. Dottie is staying on her owner's front porch, with neighbors helping to feed and care for her. She has a water and feeding station there, too. I also set up a shelter (with heating pad) on the porch, and the next door neighbor opened his greenhouse so she can have additional shelter. Please give Dottie a safe home.
