Lulu
Lulu was adopted by a very nice gentleman who wanted a companion for his other kitty. Lulu made herself right at home immediately and is now living the good life.
Adopted
These cats have found a home with loving families.
Bernie
Bernie, one of our longest fosters, was recently adopted by a loving couple who had just lost one of their kitties to old age. Bernie, being an FIV positive cat, needed a special home with a family who would take extra-good care of him. We’re delighted to say he’s found that home.
Roxy
Roxy is a playful little sweetie who has a deep rumbly purr. She loves attention and gets along well with other cats. She will make the right person very happy. She is FeLV and FIV negative and neutered.
Butch & Cassidy
Butch & Cass were adopted by a loving couple who have always had pairs of sibling black cats. They said their cats have lived into their late teens and early-twenties! The boys have had a bit of a rough adjustment, used as they were to our cozy basement; but they have already begun to feel more comfortable in their spacious new home.
Murphy
Murphy was adopted by a lovely lady who wanted a companion for her young kitty. Murphy and his new pal immediately hit it off, and Murphy was especially delighted by the 8’ cat tree they had to play on. He’s settled in and is looking forward to a long, happy life in a loving home.
Harry and Dizzy
Harry & Dizzy have been adopted. They’re both doing really well together with a lovely family who couldn’t decide between them, so they adopted them both!
Harry still yowls for his breakfast while Dizzy waits patiently. The family’s two girls adore them. Another FFUR success.
Cora
Chubby little Cora (now renamed Ruby) has a new home with Eric and Marissa. They adopted her so she could be a companion to their first FeLV+ cat. Ruby is looking forward to a good life with a cozy home and all the love she deserves.
Bella and Sasha
Bella and Sasha have been adopted together into a wonderful, artistic family. They are very happy to be together, as they are such good buddies, and even happier to have such a loving family where they are the “first cats” of their new household.
Zoie
Zoie was adopted by a wonderful gentlemen who wanted a companion for his older cat, Abby. He reported that despite some initial apprehensiveness, Zoie is slowly settling in to her new home. When she’s not exploring she loves being held and stroked.
Butler
From Butler’s new mommy:
“Hi! I just wanted to let you know how Butler is doing. He is such a great cat. He is still a little jumpy when people move around but when things are calm he jumps up to be petted. He also comes up and sleeps in the bed every night. Overall, he’s doing great and we are so glad we were able to give him a good home.”
Maggie and Roscoe
Maggie and Roscoe were adopted together by a loving couple, who are also community activists. They have a wonderful new home, grandchildren to play with on occasion and come winter, a fireplace to curl up next to. Another FFUR success story for both of them---Roscoe, who was abandoned to the streets, despite being declawed, and Maggie who was born on the street.
Spencer
Spencer was rescued nearly a year ago, in the winter of 2006-2007. Because he was FLV positive, we knew he might have hidden health issues, but FFUR is committed to our no-kill policy, and he was healthy, except for his FLV status. On September 20th, Spencer suddenly became ill and after going through three blood transfusions in the space of 24 hours, we had to make the painful but humane decision to euthanize Spencer, because his red blood cells were not reproducing.
Spencer was an extraordinary cat. He had an excellent life while he was with FFUR: love, comfort, friends, play. His life was a tribute to how we can indeed save the lives of cats who otherwise might not be saved. Maddy and I were with Spencer during his euthanasia, and I held him in my lap as it happened.
Spencer’s life was too short--he was only two at his death--but his life with us was good and happy. Our responsibility to our animal friends is that we take care of them, no matter what. Sometimes that means doing what is difficult for us--letting them go.
Spencer gave us a great deal of love and we gave him a lot of love back. We were glad we could rescue him from his terrible life on the street and we are even more glad that we could give him a death of dignity and comfort. We miss him, we love him and we hope that his story helps others know that the time we have with our animals is precious and fulfilling for both us and them, no matter how long or short it might be.---Victoria Brownworth, exec director, FFUR
