Grizzly is believed to be a wirehaired pointing griffon.
He is true to his breed that he is smart and loves to stay busy. He does best with consistent training and a schedule. He is about 6 years old and is working on being socialized more than he was before coming to us.
We are looking for him to have a mature household that will continue his training and give him an active lifestyle.
We would invite anyone interested in grizzly to research the breed before considering him as a fit for their home. Due to his breed and lack of training, we ask for him to be the only pet in the home with no children.
Even though he has many attributes of the breed; smart, and bonds to a family members. He also was not trained early so he does have anxiety that he will need to be worked through with positive reinforcement training only and would most likely not be able to build the training to be a hunting dog like most of his breed.

On this we would like to extend our gratitude to one of our very own staff members, Shannon.
Shannon is the lovely face at our reception desk, and the calm voice behind our phones. She arguably has the toughest job in the whole building. As our receptionist she is organized, smart, thoughtful, detailed, and is full of ideas. As an adoption coordinator she is knowledgeable about our furry friends, she is always greeting them upon arrival and gives them extra love through the days. As a co- worker she is kind, giving, supportive and helpful. We are PAWSITIVELY grateful to have Shannon on our team!
Thank you for all of your hard work Shannon!

Hello and Happy to all of our amazing friends and followers!
Today our wish is a little different, as we are in critical need of paper pellet litter, used by our littlest guests and those recovering from surgery- which a staff member is currently out purchasing.
So we are hoping to get some help from our community in the form of donations to help with this with a goal of $175!
You can donate through this post, and as always on our website, or in person during open hours! Thanks so much!

With this type of weather today 🌧️we all need a good cuddle bug. We have a few that would be great candidates but …. no one could be better than Mr Felix.🐈‍⬛
Felix is a mature adult male that does well with even grumpy felines. He’s very human friendly and just wants some nice brushes or pats on the head

Starting our day with a happy share- another Alumni story, Alumni #41+ #42, Beau and Arrow! Thanks so much for giving "the boys" such a lovely home, Rachel- and thanks for sharing!
Their human Rachel shared the following with us:

Alumni story:

A work trip sent me to St Albans in 2019. After work one day, I decided to walk around FCAR. A short month later, I drove 4 hours back to FCAR with a carrier in tow. I knew I wanted two kittens, and when I arrived most of the kittens were offsite at an adoption event. The only pair in the shelter was Babs and Tippy (now Beau and Arrow, collectively known as "the boys") and I truly think they were meant to be mine. They are partners in crime and are a constant source of entertainment. I never had cats growing up but they have made it so easy. They've also taught me a lot, including the importance of protecting your puzzles when left unattended, where the mice were getting into the house, and the importance of taking time to watch the birds in the yard. I am so grateful to have found FCAR and my boys!

Little miss Bacardi here loves to have fun- and she LOVES that every morning she gets a fresh box of kitty litter!

She heard that we are especially 🚨low on the PAPER PELLET CAT LITTER🚨that we use for our younger guests and those recovering from surgery, and she wanted to let our amazing community know that we are in need!

☀️SPOTLIGHT SATURDAY☀️
Today for we would like to say hello to Eclipse!
Eclipse is a 2 year old male who is an absolute life of the party cat! He is extremely friendly and curious with humans, and LOVES to play!!! He’s quite good at chasing, catching, and eliminating any threat from his toy mice! This boy makes human friends quickly and his big, fun personality will brighten even a cloudy day like today! He has staff and volunteers- and some visitors- cracking up throughout the day with his playful antics!
Eclipse would, however, prefer to be the only cat in his furrever home, as he doesn’t love sharing his space or attention with other felines.
If this fun-loving boy sounds like the perfect fit for you, apply today!
You can stop by to meet Eclipse (or any of our other feline guests available for adoption) anytime today before 5pm, or Tuesday-Friday 4-6pm!

- Yesterday was the 1st day of Summer (despite the rain!), so we wanted to share these seasonable tips!

Happy First Day of Summer! ☀️ Now that it’s starting to heat up, keep your pets safe from seasonal dangers by following these summertime safety tips.

06/20/2024

It is the first day of Summer, and it's been more than obvious with this heatwave!
Today for we are feeling extremely thankful for the split system from Lamos Electric on a grant from Ben & Jerry's that was put in a couple years ago and continues to keep our furry guests, volunteers and staff cool even on these extremely hot days.

Blue is a handsome boy of about 1 year, 9 months. While his expression is always quite serious, he is a low-key boy who enjoys affection. He comes from a multi-cat home, and would do best with other cats. He also has been around dogs, and while he may not require their presence, is quite familiar with them.

06/20/2024

Metallakitty is a lovely boy of 1 year and 9 months. He is a laid-back boy who is quite sweet. Metallakitty came to us from a multi-cat household, and does well with other cats, we believe he would do best in a home with another feline. He has also been around dogs and is familiar with having one in the home.

06/20/2024

Eclipse is an energetic 2 year old male. He is very outgoing and a ton of fun! This boy loves to play and be the center of attention- a real class clown/ life of the party! He loves human interaction, but does not enjoy sharing his space or attention with other felines, and would do best in a fun home where he could be the only cat.

We appreciate the help, and are excited to announce that POPPY was the clear winner with 218 votes....so, say hello to little Poppy!

Today we shout out all of the veterinary professionals! These individuals work so hard to keep animals safe and healthy!
We know how grateful we are for the care given to our friends here at FCAR, and the care given to all of the furry (and non-furry) family members out there!

Bacardi is a sweet 8 month old girl. She is quite friendly and outgoing! She also loves to play- with humans, with her siblings, with toys! She is an absolute delight and would love a fun-loving home- and would be use to the company of other kitties!

Chelsea is a beautiful, reserved 2 year old girl. She enjoys her treats and playing with toys. A string toy on a wand or a laser are her favorite ways to connect with humans. Chelsea has been housed with other cats, but also seems happy to be currently housed independently. If you are looking for a furry friend who doesn't require a ton of 1 on 1 attention, Chelsea may be the girl for you!

06/18/2024

Star is a beautiful 2 year old male. He is a bit reserved, but very gentle. He seems happy being around other felines, and loves playing with his roommate, but they are not bonded. Star really enjoys playtime and especially his toy mice, and will toss them out for us to return them, like a slow game of toss! Star can be quite shy at first, but despite initial reservation, he really loves head and neck rubs, and will roll over to invite belly rubs. He is very affectionate once he feels comfortable. He is also an adventurer, especially at night!
If you are looking for a sweet buddy, and have the time to let him get to know you and come out of his shell, Star may be just the cat for you!

06/18/2024

Abbie is a beautiful 4 year old girl who knows what she wants. She can be very affectionate and will reach out for more pets when she thinks you are done. Abbie can be a little unpredictable in her reactions, and we believe she would do best as the only princess in a home without young children or other pets.

It’s ! So let’s celebrate our friend, Lightning finding his furrever home this past week!
His charming personality will be missed- but we are SO happy for him and his new humans!❤️🐈‍⬛
