Story
Mr. Cat turned up in the backyard as a tiny kitten. We thought he was feral but he soon allowed us to pet and hold him. We kept him as an outdoor cat. He has been neutered and microchipped and is up to date on his vaccines. (His medical records are available). Mr. Cat and our dog don’t get along and Mr. Cat stays away from her. He has gotten along well with our backyard chickens. Recently he suffered some minor injuries, possibly from a run in with a wild animal. He was treated at the animal hospital and is staying inside until he heals completely. I have discovered that he craves affection and could happily adapt to being an indoor cat.

Story
Tanjiro was found outside of a gym in Salisbury NC at 14 weeks old. He's an incredibly sweet boy, loves to curl up on your lap while you work or play games, and loves to be held. According to our vet his birthday is estimated to be around April 20th and he is turning 2 years old this year. He has been raised in a house with an older female cat and large female dog, and gets along great with both of them! A very loving cat who loves attention from people and other pets. Tanjiro is neutered and has received his first year of vaccines, but we have not had the resources to keep his vaccines up to date after moving to Mooresville last May. Looking for a loving home that can give him a lot of attention after the work day and can afford his medical upkeep.

Story
Frankie is originally a stray that followed us into our apartment and never left. She is really sweet and loves long cuddles she is adorable doesn’t play much but likes the laser pointer and playing with our dog. She is roughly 2 and a half years old and is up to date on all shots and medication. She is a mainly indoor cat but needs outdoor space to get stimulation we live in an apartment now and she is not happy with the limited access to the outside it is just a balcony she needs space to roam

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.
