🍓 Meet Fruit Bat 🦇

Sweet, and full of energy, Fruit Bat is a loyal girl with a heart of gold. She loves her person fiercely and just wants to run, play, and explore the world by your side.

This athletic girl lives for open spaces! She’d do best in a home that can give her plenty of room to sprint, whether that’s a very secure fenced yard or a wide, open area where she can safely practice her recall.

Fruit Bat can be a hesitant when meeting new people, but she quickly warms up with a few tasty treats (her weakness 😋). She has a strong prey drive and loves to play chase, so a home without small pets, or with dogs who enjoy being the “chase”, would be ideal.

Once she trusts you, her loyalty runs deep. She’ll be your shadow, your protector, and your running partner all in one.

She’s available now and waiting to find her forever adventure buddy… {{❤️}}

💛🩶 Say Hello to Ophelia & Iris – The Tortie Sisters with Hearts of Gold and Silver 💛🩶

✨✨ Double the love, double the purrs! These two beautiful sisters are a bonded pair who share everything—playtime, naps, and a love for their humans. They must be adopted together, and whoever welcomes them home will gain not just two cats, but two best friends full of affection and charm.

🌸 Ophelia is a petite tortie beauty with a hint of Manx heritage—her shorter tail only adds to her unique appeal. Gentle, affectionate, and endlessly sweet, Ophelia loves to play with all kinds of toys—lasers, wands, and sparkle balls—but when it’s time to relax, she’s happiest curled up with her sister or by your side.

She’s known for her soft chirps and trills when she’s having fun and her patient way of asking for attention—quietly sitting beside you or giving a gentle paw tap. She loves being brushed, gives the sweetest little kisses, and will often greet you at the door like you’re her favorite person in the world (because you will be!).

🌺 Iris is her fluffy tortie sister with a bob tail and Maine C**n flair—adorable ear tufts, a silky soft coat, and bright, expressive eyes. She’s the more outgoing of the two and a little “shadow cat,” following her person around and staying close wherever you go.

Playful and affectionate, Iris is a fearless high-jumper when chasing wand toys and loves to chatter during playtime with her cute trills and chirps. She’s gentle, loyal, and happiest when she’s near her people—often touching you softly or curling up beside you for naps.

🍗 Faves: Temptations treats, wet food, wand toys, window-watching, and lap time.
🐾 Best Match: A loving forever home ready for two gentle, affectionate sisters to stay together.
💜 Rescue Story: Ophelia and Iris are part of the “Mountain Crew”—16 kittens rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation. They arrived starving, flea-ridden, and filthy but quickly learned what it means to be safe, warm, and deeply loved. Their Maine C**n/Manx mix roots give them both beauty and personality in equal measure.

Together, Ophelia and Iris are everything you could want in feline companions—playful, gentle, loving, and loyal. Their bond is unbreakable, their hearts are pure, and their future family will be twice as lucky. 💞

‼️Help control the pet population - have your pets spayed or neutered! 💯

10/02/2025

❓Have you ever wondered if the cat you see in your neighborhood is a STRAY cat or a FERAL cat?

Being able to distinguish between the two allows you to determine how to best care for that cat.

🐈 A stray cat is typically a cat who lived indoors and/or was socialized to people at some point in its life, but has left or lost its home, or was abandoned, and no longer has regular human contact.

🐈 A feral cat is an unsocialized outdoor cat who has either never had any physical contact with humans, or human contact has diminished over enough time that the cat is no longer accustomed to touch.

🐈 Note that there are semi-feral cats that have both stray and feral characteristics. Semi-feral cats typically trust their caregivers over time but still prefer not to be touched or to live indoors.

‼️ No matter if it's a stray, semi-feral, or feral community cat, please make sure the cat is spayed/neutered and vaccinated so the cat doesn't contribute to the cat overpopulation crisis and to end the suffering.

If you need information about Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR), please see our "How to TNR" information on our website ... https://www.friendsofferalfelines.org/how-to-tnr.

IF there are resources and rescues in your community, finding an indoor home for a friendly community cat is an option.

Feral/unsocialized community cats should be returned to where they were trapped. If resources aren't readily available to find a friendly stray cat an indoor home, return that stray kitty to where they were trapped as well.
