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.

Tarzan is part of a TNR project in Wilmington, NC. Unfortunately, one of many. We caught his mom twice, but didn't want to snip her until we could catch this elusive kitten and make sure he was weened. We finally caught him and are working on retrapping his mom. Tarzan has only been undergoing socialization for a short time and is making great progress. He is gentle and curious. He's still a little hard to catch when he gets to free roam his foster home, but he gets less scared every day. We want to find Tarzan a home with another social kitten or cat so he can continue to learn trust and love from humans.

Beryl came in with her 4 siblings, nursing on mom, Katrina. They were in terrible shape with an intestinal parasite and upper respiratory infections. Beryl looked like she might loose an eye, but we got to work right away and she's great now! Being handled at such a young age, these kittens, like their mom, are affectionate, social and loving. Beryl is a lap cat. All Feline Matchmakers cats get age appropriate vaccinations, fixed, tested and microchipped prior to adoption.

Wolverine came to us from a feral colony with an upper respiratory infection. This is not uncommon in kittens who come from outside. He's all better now and warming up fast to the comforts of a home and a human to love him. He's a handsome young man and loves to play and eat his wet food like it's a hot dog eating contest.  All Feline Matchmakers cats get age appropriate vaccinations, fixed, tested and microchipped prior to adoption.

Bubbles was always so shy and so sweet!  He never had a mean bone in his body and just loved everyone!  He will be missed too!  The wonderful couple, that saw how special these cats were, had a hard time deciding which 2 black ones they wanted!  I think they got a great pair! The night before they left, Emmy & Bubbles were playing and wrestling which made me feel extra good about the pair going together! I’m so relieved that they are in a great home.  Their first night went well and Emmy is purring all over the place & Bubbles is being his quiet sweet self. I can’t wait for Emmy to pray for them!   Watch a video of Emmy “praying” . January 16, 2025  Urgent reminder for Oscar & Tony!

Please note there is no need to complete an adoption questionnaire this  adoption site . We only need our  Adoption Application Questionnaire  completed. March 12, 2025  Great news!  Scrappy has been adopted! This sweet boy was DUMPED at scrap yard along with his sister.  He was skinny and didn’t really know what was happening to him, but he (and his sister) was rescued by FURR!   SCRAPPY quickly became a favorite lover boy at our rescue.  He was so gentle and kind even though he was unsure about his future.  He trusted us and became a gorgeous, shiny golden eyed boy! My niece has adopted him so that keeps him in my family!  I’m so happy for her and Scrappy!  He is doing really great right off the bat! Her long-term roommate has an orange male kitty the exact same age as Scrappy!  Gradually they will meet and hopefully be able to play together!  Right now Scrappy is making air biscuits, purring up a storm and loving all the attention he is getting! HOORAY for a black cat adoption!!! October 19, 2024  Scrappy is a beautiful, SWEET, adorable, big-eyed, BOY!!!  See his new photo standing on the food bin. Yardley is also friendly and purrs when you hold her! 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.

Please note there is no need to complete an adoption questionnaire on this page. We only need our Adoption Application Questionnaire completed at: https://www.catfurr.org/adoption-questionnaire/ (please copy/paste link) December 12, 2024  Both “Cocoa”, a 6-8 month old black female, and “Rocky”, a 2 year old gray tabby male, are now fixed, microchipped, shots, blood tested, etc.  Now all they need is time and patience to get them ready for an indoor homes. Watch their  video ! We would GREATLY appreciate anyone foster home for these two since we have no where to put them but in a small cage.  Both are healthy, beautiful and progressing nicely. We did receive a donation to cover their cost (thank GOD!), so their current vet bills have been paid!!! November 28, 2024  I successfully caught 2 feral cats early Tues am in Holly Ridge!  My realtor called me because she was moving and had been feeding them.  She didn’t want to just leave them behind. I took traps to her and showed her how to set them up.  The traps were left open for about a week and she fed them inside the traps to get them used to it. Tues morning early I caught them, just as planned and took them to the S/N clinic in Castle Hayne. FURR now has “Cocoa”, a 6-8 month old black female, and “Rocky” a 2 year old gray tabby male who has a raccoon-looking tail like the cartoon character “Rocky Racoon”. My realtor had hoped to keep them at her house for recovery and I loaned her a cage, but trying to take care of these kitties and moving at the same time understandably became overwhelming! So these cats are now at the FURR Sanctuary recovering from their surgery and traumatic day! They are both beautiful and I’m at least relieved that they are safe.

January 24, 2025 My name is CRAPPIE, like the fish! Meet me in this  video ! I was rescued used by FURR at the Atlantic Seafood plant in Hampstead.  That plant was torn down & I was saved along with about 70 other relatives of mine! I’m just a tiny little girl, a couple years old and I am VERY SPECIAL because I am blind in one eye. I do just fine with one eye & I never feel sorry for myself!  It’s hard for me to understand why I am still up for adoption?  I guess folks want “purrfect” cats?  BUT, I am so adorable, sweet & tiny.  My little upside down smile gives me that funny “Grumpy Cat” look!  LOL! Please come & visit me!  I really don’t see how you could meet me & not love me! Learn more about my rescue and rehabilitation story  in May and June 2023 including major dental surgery!
