Their original owner lost his job and apartment and had to give them up. These cats are very friendly--with each other and with people. They are in good health, FeLV an FIV negative. Miss Kitty is a Scottish fold, which is why she has the tiny bent ears. They need a good, stable home.

The collar had been put on when he was a kitten--before he was abandoned--and it was so tight that the skin had begun to grow over it. He was both having difficulty swallowing and also on the verge of a massive infection. Baxter is about eight months old, very energetic, friendly, purrs a lot and plays hard.He is healthy and has been neutered and is FeLV/FIV negative.  Available for Adoption 2008-10-22T13:56:00-05:00 http://www.ffur.org/catlog/index.php/site/mac/ http://www.ffur.org/catlog/index.php/site/mac/#When:00:08:00Z Little Mac was being chased across the street by a dog and was nearly hit by a car before being nearly eaten when one of the FFUR staff rescued him. He’s about seven months old, in good health, neutered and in need of a good home. He’s sweet and friendly and seems to like other cats. He’s already lost several of his nine lives and needs love.

One of the Holstein clan of feral cats we tend at FFUR (so named because of their distinctive black and white markings), Darling Darla as we call her has a few issues. She’s loving--on her own terms. But being caged has made her less docile than she was when we first rescued her. She provides a challenge for whoever takes her in and does not get along with other cats. But she is getting better with people every day and would benefit from a loving and patient home. She is in perfect health and just over a year old. She has been spayed and is up to date on all her vaccinations.

He was found on the Frankford El tracks a few weeks ago, trying to catch some mice. He was thin, starving and infested with fleas. He has been neutered, is in perfect health (FeLV/FIV negative) and has had all his vaccinations. He is very loving, seems to like other cats and loves to play and be held. He needs a home now.

Unfortunately, like most shelters we are full to capacity and as a private shelter we have very limited resources. Should you find a stray or have a cat of your own that you want to place, please take those cats to PAACA or PAWS. They have a fairly good record on adoptions and do make every effort to place cats. If you think a cat would be better living on the street than being taken to a shelter and possibly euthanized, think again. The average life-span for a stray cat on the street is three years, maximum. During that period of time they starve, are riddled with illness, get hit by cars, are tortured by teenagers. It is far kinder to take a cat to a shelter than to leave it on the street. We urge you to help take responsibility for the over-population of domestic pets which would not be on the streets if not for people. Sometimes saving a cat means saving them from a fate worse than a painless euthanasia. ---Victoria Brownworth How to Help 2008-09-30T00:38:00-05:00 http://www.ffur.org/catlog/index.php/site/theodore/ http://www.ffur.org/catlog/index.php/site/theodore/#When:02:42:00Z Theodore is a genuinely sweet and handsome tuxedo loverboy, with auburn highlights, recently rescued in University City.  He is FIV positive, is approximately 1.5 to 2 yrs old, and has just been neutered and given his vaccines.  Theo craves full-time love and companionship, either as a single kitty or perhaps with another FIV+ kitty.  He has a wonderful and gentle nature from the moment he meets you; he just wants to be your best friend and to be near you.  Theo needs a foster or permanent situation with someone who has lots of love to give, preferably someone with a comfortable lap, who will whisper sweet nothings in his ear and pet him forever.  He is currently fostering in a small room by himself, in a house where there are multiple kitties (including four other foster kitties), so he’s lonely a lot of the time.  But he doesn’t resent; he is thankful for anything he receives, and he will tell you so!  This guy deserves the best and will never take you for granted.  All he needs is love.
