Please SHARE my fosters! They’re being fostered in my home in Warren County, NJ and are available for adoption through Friends of Feline Urban Rescue & Rehab near Easton, PA or Phillipsburg, NJ or from my home. Thanks!

🖤🩶 Jeremiah and Jones 🩶🖤

Jeremiah and Jonas are best friends who just need a chance.

They would love to be adopted together. They will need a special adopter who understands they're still skittish and will give them lots of love and patience and dedicate the time and effort to actively work with them to come out of their shell.

Jeremiah is an adorable black and white tuxedo, while Jonas is all gray with darker gray stripes on his tail. Both were trapped and ear-tipped as strays.

Jeremiah is a bit older and bigger than Jonas, so their listed age of 6 months is an estimate.

Both are very shy and starting to warm up in their foster home. Jeremiah is less shy than Jonas, who is still very skittish.

Both are sweet and playful. They like the other cats in their foster home. Both will purr when petted. Their foster mom swaddles each in a blanket for cuddles, which the kitties will then relax into and purr.

Both boys have been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormer/flea treated, and microchipped.

Their foster mom will continue to work with them to socialize them, as they have shown good progress. They are available to be adopted now if the adopter is willing to give them a chance to get acclimated and continue working with them, and not give them up if they remain shy.

Their foster mom can give advice and keep in touch for support and suggestions.

Check out their full profiles on FURR’s website (see links below).

Please SHARE my foster, Miss Molly. She has NEVER had an application! She has been with FURR Friends of Feline Urban Rescue & Rehab more than a year, and with me since September.

🦉🦝💕🦉🦝💕🦉🦝💕🦉🦝💕🦉🦝

Miss Molly is a sweet and sassy 3-year-old who craves attention, being petted and cuddling on her foster mom's lap.

She can be sassy and may swat or nip when she is startled or overstimulated, such as when you move too quickly when petting her or she's on your lap. It's important to read her signals. For this reason, she would do best in a calm household without young children.

She is very playful and funny, always a real character. She is a big, beautiful tabby and we joke that she must be part-owl, part-raccoon (see pictures)!

She has been fostered with other adult cats and older kittens. She adjusts fairly quickly and can cohabitate in the foster room peacefully for the most part. She usually minds her own business, but may swat if the others invade her space. She doesn't go after the other cats, though.

She has not been around dogs, but will be introduced to the sweet Great Dane in her foster home soon.

Molly's background is that she is a young, retired mama. In 2023, a kind homeowner found her outside and realized she was pregnant. The finder brought her inside, where Molly gave birth to 6 healthy kittens. The kittens have since been adopted, while Miss Molly still waits for a home of her own. The finder fostered her for about a year, where Molly got along with the resident cat and warmed up to the lady.

Molly has been in her current foster home since late September 2024 and has warmed up nicely. She comes over to be petted and will purr. She is a lap cat, climbing up onto her foster mom's lap to be petted and she'll purr and make biscuits or fall asleep. She has the cutest little meow and loves to be brushed. She loves to relax and look out the window. She is also playful and fun.

✅ She has been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormer/flea treated, and microchipped.

She is being fostered in my home in Warren County, NJ and is available for adoption through Feline Urban Rescue and Rehab near Easton, PA.

I’m proud to foster for FURR

In 2020, I switched to fostering for Friends of Feline Urban Rescue & Rehab. I am so proud to volunteer for FURR because it is a highly reputable and responsible rescue that truly cares for the well-being and safety of cats and kittens in need.

What sets us apart:

🏡 All our cats are lovingly fostered in homes, as we have no shelter.

💁‍♀️ We are all unpaid volunteers, even the Board members, so every dollar goes to helping cats.

✅ All cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for FIV/FeLV, dewormer/flea treated, and even microchipped prior to adoption.

✂️ FURR created our own low-cost spay/neuter clinic to help pet owners and those who care for community cats.

📋 Applications are carefully screened.

🦀 Our Board works to ban declawing.

🧡 We stand by our cats and will take back any cat adopted from us, for any reason, at any time, even years later.

Once you adopt, you’re part of the FURR family! I love to keep in touch with my adopters.

Since 2022, I’ve adopted out 55 adult cats and kittens. I can’t take all the credit, as rescue is always teamwork, and we have the best team! And of course, the biggest thanks goes to our ADOPTERS who give the cats their best life!

I’m thrilled to have had a part in these cats’ happily FURRever after 💕

THANK YOU to all of you who have supported FURR and my fostering in particular with: financial donations, shopping my wishlist, giving important items, lifting me up with encouragement, and sharing my posts. I couldn’t have done it without you!

If you’re moved to donate, you can do so via this FB fundraiser, PayPal or even Zelle (which has no fees).

Thanks and here’s to 2025 🍾

I’m so thankful that 20 of my fosters were adopted in 2024.

Rescue is a team effort, so I wasn’t the only one working hard to help them.

I’m thankful to all of YOU who support my fostering and the incredible work that FURR does every day.

Thanks again for being on our team - go Team FURR! 🧡

If you’d like to donate directly to FURR, I’d really appreciate it!

You can donate via this FB fundraiser or PayPal/credit card or Zelle (see comments):

We are all unpaid volunteers, including our Board of Directors, so every dollar goes directly towards helping us help kittens and adult cats in need.

Thank you! Feel free to SHARE!

Wilma, my Great Dane, is the best dog with cats!

Here my new foster kitties meet her for the 1st time.

The kittens figured out they could go through the railing and downstairs so after retrieving them a few times, we called it a day.

But they did great being near her!

Two of my fosters just got adopted! I had Gigi for almost 2 years! I had Dry Clean Only (new name is Dorito) for several months, but she’d been with our rescue well over a year. We are all thrilled for them!

We are thrilled that two of our longtime fosters were adopted this past week!

Gigi had been with us almost 2 YEARS after having been returned. Finally, a wonderful person stepped up to adopt her and will continue to love her and give her any medical care she needs.

Update: We already got an update from Gigi’s adopter after just a day and a half in her new home. This is remarkable progress for such a shy cat!

Just goes to show Gigi needed a quiet home with a patient, loving adopter. There is only one other cat, was adopted from FURR two years ago as a senior cat himself. In Gigi’s foster home, she had to adjust to and live with over 40 cats up in the last 2 years!!! She was a champ about it, but we are just thrilled she has a home now.

“Gigi is gradually getting there. She likes her pets and brushings. She ventures out of her cave quite a bit. I have her alone in my bedroom during the day and having free run of the rest of the apartment at night. We are encouraged but haven't put her together with (the other cat) yet. They have seen each other through the glass door in my bedroom. She has eaten only a little but has been drinking and did p*e and p**p a little. We are happy that if she is in her cave she lets us pet her and p*eks put out for more when we stop.”

Dry Clean Only had been with us well over a YEAR. She was very outgoing in foster care and, not surprisingly, has adapted to her new home within a couple days. She now sleeps with her owners, snuggles on the couch with them, and gets along with the family dog. This just may be her 1st real home.

When we have fosters a long time, people often say that we should just adopt them ourselves. We know they mean well, but it hurts our hearts a little. We’d rather they help us find the cat a wonderful forever home.

We can provide a loving temporary home, no matter how long it takes. But often we are not the IDEAL home to be their forever home. And adopting even one more cat might mean we’d have to give up fostering altogether. And there are so many cats who need our help next.

Please consider adopting a longtime foster, or one who might be harder to place because of their age or a medical condition.

Rescue is a PARTNERSHIP - we could not do our part without support from the community of people who ADOPT, DONATE, and SPREAD THE WORD.

Thank you for being a part of a cat’s happily furever after!

💜 Adopt “Dry Clean Only” 💜

💕Friendly 💕 Affectionate 💕 Outgoing 💕

👚Her name is Dry Clean Only because she was found in a laundry room in a hotel and she is special like dry clean only items. No one ever claimed her. Her nickname is DC.

🗓️ She has been in our rescue for over a year! We would love to see her settled in a great forever home.

📱For several months, she was fostered by the wonderful employees at the Verizon store in Forks, where she roamed the store and enjoyed meeting customers, adults and children alike.

🏡 As of the end of June, she is now in a new foster home.

🧸This sweetheart is a big girl weighing in at 13 pounds. She is a beautiful swirly tabby who is playful and enjoys toys, like chasing after the laser pointer dot or rubbing on catnip. She also loves to be petted and brushed. Her fur is silky soft!

😻 She is outgoing, friendly and affectionate. She is a lap cat and a biscuit maker, purring up a storm.

💔 When adopters came recently to adopt a bonded pair of cats in her foster home, DC was the first one to greet them, taking treats and rubbing against their legs as if to say “Pick me!” We assure her that her perfect person is out there and we will find them!

😺 She has gotten along with many other cats, but keeps going after a shy foster cat in the home. She would also be a fabulous only cat.

Keep in mind she was the only cat at Verizon for months, and now she’s confined to only one room with other cats in her foster home.

🐶 She was cautiously curious about the Great Dane in her foster home (see video).

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 She was good with the young kids she met in the store, letting them pet or brush her.

✅ She has been spayed, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormer/flea treated, and even microchipped!

⭐️ See more pics and videos on her profile on our website

We are downstairs and thought we heard thunder, but it’s Cessna on the cat exercise wheel! I showed him how to use it yesterday and now he uses it by himself when I’m not in the room!

Yay, thanks again to my friend for giving it to my fosters!

adopted today!

✈️ Adopt Boeing & Cessna ✈️

These sweet brothers met my Great Dane for the 1st time today. Boeing loved Wilma! Cessna was cautiously curious.

The boys are 9 months old and fully vetted, having been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormer/flea treated, and even microchipped.

They are shy but warming up to people more and more. They now approach me to be petted, and when I do, they purr and “make biscuits”.

They’re very playful, of course!

And they love my other foster cats. And now I know how they are with my dog. I think they’d do well with any dog that is respectful of cats.

I’m fostering them in my home in Warren County, NJ for Friends of Feline Urban Rescue & Rehab. You can meet them here or at one of our events in Easton, PA.

APPLY today to meet them!

Please SHARE to help them find a wonderful home!

Check out my fosters Boo (long haired), Seamus (wearing a calming collar), and kittens Boeing and Cessna enjoying a tub of water!

Great info from post from Purr Haus, a unique cat boutique in Emmaus, PA that fosters and supports cat rescues like ours:

“This is your reminder to fill and change the filters in your cats’ water fountains and freshen up water bowls. In this heat, I like to toss a few ice cubes in the mix, which Harry loves to watch slowly melt, for some reason. Cats will drink more water if you serve it away from their food. Supposedly this is an evolutionary throwback to when they were hunters in the jungle and instinctively knew that dead prey could pollute their water source. The dry kibble most of us feed our cats is dehydrating, so clean fresh water is a must, especially in this heat. Air conditioning also dries the air in your home.”
