Meet FAR's Favorite Fabulous Feline, F***y!

This 1-year-old energetic girl has been with us for far too long. We're not sure why; maybe it's because she needs to be the only cat in the house!

F***y loves people, however, and will follow you around like a puppy!

She is super playful. Her specialty is hiding under towels and rugs, and even likes to go for a ride on one!

She also loves to be petted. When not chasing a toy, her favorite place is a warm lap.

A wonderful FAR supporter has generously sponsored her adoption fee too!

F***y is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

🎉Adoption Celebration Post!
We're thrilled to announce that 14 animals found their forever homes this week, six dogs and eight cats!🎉 A special shoutout to two of our long-timers who finally got adopted: Henry and Sammy!

🌟 Sammy's Journey: After 333 days in our care, Sammy has found his forever family! Sammy arrived as a young dog and needed unique training due to his deafness. Our dedicated staff and volunteers invested countless hours into teaching him signed commands and helping him understand vibration collars for recall. In February, Sammy had emergency surgery for an obstruction caused by a rope toy, but he recovered like a champ. Throughout his time here, we've seen him grow up and blossom, capturing the hearts of everyone with his unique quirks and loving nature. Sammy is adored by all, and we are overjoyed that he now has a home with two loving pawrents, a big doggy sister and a little human sister.

🐾 Henry's Happy Ending: Henry, who spent 147 days at the rescue, has also found his perfect match. Henry charmed everyone he met with his love for human attention and his playful antics, especially his fondness for ice cubes. His endearing personality made him a favorite among our staff and volunteers. We are thrilled that Henry has finally found a home where he will be showered with all the love and attention he deserves.

🙌Thank you to everyone who supported these amazing animals on their journey to finding loving homes! Sammy and Henry are two shining examples of the dedication Foothills Animal Rescue puts into every animal that comes through our doors. No matter how many days it takes, we will be right by their side to cheer them along the way.
🧡We invite you to join our mission and support us in caring for these wonderful animals. We are aiming to reach our 500 donation challenge goal, and every contribution makes a difference. It takes a village to provide the love and care these animals need. Thank you for your continued support! ❤️🐾
