Story
Turk is a mysterious and shy black cat with a wild side that only those who take the time to get to know him will truly appreciate. Named after the spirited gorilla from Disney's Tarzan, Turk is often reserved, preferring to observe the world from a safe distance but underneath his quiet exterior is a heart just waiting to connect with the right family! Turk is still learning that humans aren't all that bad to be around and is looking for a family who will accept him just as he is—quiet, quirky, and full of potential! If you're looking for a low maintenance cat to make the house feel less empty, Turk will show you how wonderful it is to love a cat who’s one-of-a-kind.

Story
Meet Janet — a shy beauty with a story to tell. Janet is a stunning orange kitty with striking eyes, but she’s a bit on the skittish side. She may take some time to warm up to new people and environments, so she’s best suited for a calm, patient home where she can take things at her own pace. While Janet isn’t the cuddliest or most outgoing cat, she has her own quiet charm and enjoys observing the world from a safe, comfortable spot. With the right person who understands her boundaries, she can feel secure and even start to show glimpses of her personality. If you’re looking for a cat who thrives in a peaceful environment and you’re willing to let her come out of her shell in her own time, Janet could be the perfect companion for you.

Story
Kona is looking for someone with lots of patience and lots of love to give him! Before he was brought to us Kona was found living in the woods and eventually the house he was living under had caught fire. He can be pretty shy at first, but after he becomes comfortable he's a total lover! He's still learning that not all people are scary (who can blame him?). Kona likes to be around other cats and will gladly share his food, toys and bed with them. Playtime with toys on sticks especially if they're strings dangling on the end is his favorite! If he let's you pet & scratch him behind his ears and he will purr with delight. Stop by the shelter anytime we are open to meet Kona!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This sweet girl was found as a stray. She was brought to Furry Friends Refuge to be spayed, when it was discovered she has a birth defect to her front left leg, but she gets around just great. Her Sternum did not form properly before she was born, so her heart is only protected by her skin. She absolutely LOVES people and wants nothing more than to be pet and loved. Although her medical issues may seem a bit scary, Jabari will let nothing stop her and continues to run, jump, and play like any other young cat should. She wouldn't mind living with other cats or low energy dogs but also wouldn't mind keeping the attention of her owner to herself. If you have a safe quiet place in your life for this sweet girl, please contact us to meet her and her foster mom will answer any questions.
