April 12, 2026 BLUE MARLIN ADOPTED…..FINALLY! HOORAY!

It’s been a long road baby! The foster parents that had BLUE FISH & BLUE MARLIN contacted me. Since our poor poor kitty, BLUE FISH, passed away, BLUE MARLIN has been so sad & depressed. MARLIN developed a UTI and had to go to the vet.

Both BLUE FISH & BLUE MARLIN had been so close and had been together for over two years.

The foster mom, shown above, had been wanting to rehome both cats for over a year now which has been very stressful for me.

The husband had gotten a large very energetic dog that wanted to chase the cats. Keeping the cats & the dog separated was causing problems. The wife wanted to keep the cats & the husband wanted to keep the new dog.

As time passed, and BLUE FISH passed away unexpectedly, BLUE MARLIN became very attached to and dependant on the wife. She gave him meds to help with his UTI and said that MARLIN was sleeping with her.

The dog had seemed to make a little progress in training & the wife and I both agreed that a rehoming for MARLIN right now would be horrible & stressful for him.

She talked with her husband & he finally agreed to let her keep MARLIN & adopt him!

April 16, 2026 URGENTLY NEED A FOSTER HOME FOR A SWEET, LOVING MAMA AND 4 BEAUTIFUL KITTENS! Last week a lady dropped off a stray cat at Sound Cat Veterinary Hospital. The lady said the kitty was having problems (but wasnt her kitty. She was having kittens!

Sound Cat called me & said they don't keep moms & babies! I went & got them & unfortunate, since im out of room at the rescue, the mom & FOUR kittens are at my house!

I promised my husband i would NOT bring any more cats & kittens home if i opened a rescue

The cat is SUPER friendly & the 4 kittens are adorable. I don't have any room at FURR, but I do want them at FURR as soon as possible because this mama THRIVES on attention & love!

I don't have time or space to give her what she needs!

Thanks!

March 22, 2026 Great news today! MINNIE was adopted & went to her new “FURR-ever” home! This young couple just fell in love with her & visa versa! MINNIE really took to them & rubbed on them, gave them lots of head bumps & ate treats!

I feel great about this match up and I broke the news to Alyssia today. She was happy for MINNIE & sad at the same time. Alyssia rescued MINNIE near the Surf City bridge, but turned her over to FURR because of her animal menagerie at home (new puppy & several cats) was not working out.

March 16, 2026 Lilac is adopted by her Foster parents! We have foster failures among us & I couldn’t be happier!!!

Laura & Jim have been fostering our adorable little LILAC, the kitten I pulled from Duplin County pound. It was a fluke and a long story about how I got involved with this rescue, but I’m so glad I did! Read this story dated Dec. 15, 2025 below!

Laura is recovering from her 2nd hip replacement surgery & she is doing well. We miss her at FURR, but we know she will be back when she is able.

Meanwhile, Laura & Jim have fallen in love with Lilac and Lilac loves the dogs and all the other cats!

Feb. 15, 2026 LEMA was adopted & I feel really good about it! The young retired couple just fell in love with her at FURR. Of course, what’s not to love! I had a LOT of inquiries on LEMA, but this seemed like the best fit.

The couple has another 3 yr old shy kitty that needed a friend. They also had an adorable little senior dog.

LEMA has adjusted well for only being at her new home for 2 days. I think this adoption is gonna be a success!

We will really miss LEMA @ FURR! She was so friendly & she was our door greeter for room 1!

March 5, 2026 Treasure is doing well after his dental surgery. Watch his new video!: https://youtube.com/shorts/d2gkSe1Txfw?si=p8Ic9KRNEMc0yoYf

He had 3 broken canine teeth pulled and 1 canine was gone! Luckily, he did not have any other problems, such as stomatitis or gingivitis. His mouth looked really good. I'm sure those broken canines were quite painful.

I was actually rubbing him a little without my bite glove on, after the surgery, but he was still somewhat sedated. This is one gorgeous cat. I hope I can get him tame ready for adoption, but only time will tell.

He will be able to leave his large crate tomorrow and roam around the large master bathroom. Then he can climb some cat trees, look out the window and be free to run around a bit!

Wish me luck working with this humongous kitty!

Feb. 15, 2026 Meet Treasure, our handsome new male kitty! Urgent fundraiser for his March 30th dental surgery to remove broken teeth. He also has an injured paw and need to be neutered. How horrible and painful for him! This new cat is HUGE, prob about 15 pounds.

He just got neutered, shots, etc. I am working with him every day to try and figure out what to do with him, but please do NOT open his cage! I will take care of him myself.

TREASURE was abandoned by his caretaker & a friend asked me to take him in. His vet visit reported that he has an injured paw (already healed & calcified), he is FIV+, his teeth are HORRIBLE and he needs FULL MOUTH EXTRACTIONS.

His dental surgery is scheduled for March 30th, but he is in the waiting list to get him in sooner. TREASURE has 3 canines broken in half, horrible other teeth & his full mouth surgery can be anywhere from $1,200 to $1,500.

I hate that he is in pain & has been in pain all this time living as a feral. I hope they can get him in sooner.
