My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Turtle! 🐢💚

Turtle may be a little shy at first, but once he learns to trust you, his gentle and loving nature shines through. He’s the quiet observer of his litter — watching the world with his big curious eyes and taking everything in at his own pace.

This handsome boy is a spotted tabby with a beautifully marked coat that makes him stand out from his brothers, Rocky and Moose. While his siblings might jump right into playtime, Turtle prefers to hang back until he feels comfortable — but when he does, you’ll see just how sweet and affectionate he can be.

Turtle is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and FeLV/FIV negative, so he’s ready to find his forever home! He’ll do best in a calm home with a patient adopter who understands that good things take time. He’d love to be adopted with one of his brothers or into a home with another friendly cat who can help show him the ropes.

With a little patience and a lot of love, Turtle will reward you with quiet loyalty, gentle cuddles, and the joy of watching a shy kitty blossom. 🌿

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Our adoptable animals are fostered in loving homes throughout Huntsville, Alabama and the surrounding area. Because we do not operate a physical shelter, meet-and-greets are arranged by appointment only—typically after an adoption application has been submitted and approved.

For out-of-town adopters, we’re happy to offer virtual meet-and-greets to help you get to know your future furry family member before adoption or transport.

More about this rescue

Friends of Rescue is headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama with transport locations throughout the Great Lakes and New England. FOR is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2009.

Our mission is to save adoptable dogs and cats from overcrowded Southern shelters where limited space, minimal funding, and high intake rates often lead to euthanasia.

We are not professional trainers or animal behaviorists—just dedicated individuals working together to give these animals a second chance. Every pet in our program lives in a loving foster home and receives age-appropriate veterinary care while awaiting adoption.

Our ultimate goal is to match each animal with a committed, compassionate individual or family who will provide a FORever home.
