Story
Meet Maeve! This sweet girl has raised her last litter of kittens and she is now ready to be queen of someone’s home! She Loves to be petted, ok with other cats who respect her boundaries, she loves to lay next you and be petted and will purr non stop and how gorgeous are those eyes! Our best guess at her age is 2 or 3. She is a sweet mellow girl just wanting to have someone to love! And to love them back! Good with other cats and fine with older kids. 💚 If interested, please complete the adoption questionnaire found here: https://feralfelines.net/.../FoFF_adoption-_application... and email to foffadoptions@yahoo.com

Story
Sunny and Emmett are still searching for their forever home!! This bonded pair are 7 months old and the absolute sweetest. Sunny is outgoing, a purring machine, and always looking for a lap to curl up in. Emmett is shy and will need a little extra time to adjust to a new home and new people. Emmett will come with his emotional support monkey that he loves to carry around the house. Both are good with other cats, kids and our old husky.

Story
Grey’s Angel Girl was surrendered to Critter Cavalry Rescue last November, rescued from a farm of many, many sick cats.  This 3 year old was one of the lucky ones.  Not terribly sick; nothing that a few different medications quickly cured.  Now inside, in the kitty room, Grey definitely felt “out-of-sorts” for the first few months.  She was difficult to even touch the first several weeks.  A lot of hissing and fussing, I knew she was just scared.  Slowly but surely, Grey came to realize she was in a safe spot.  All this lady needed was a little love and reassurance every day, that it was all okay.  “This soft bed is for me?  This cozy cubby is mine?”  It has been rewarding to watch her improve day after day.  Grey is about 90% there, and with a little extra TLC, she will reach 100% in no time. There is a sweetheart in there.  Do you secretly cheer for the under-dog?  Or under-cat, in this case?  She so wants her forever home!  To pass the time, Grey Girl plays well on her own and alone.  She likes to bat the ball on the triple tiered ball toy.  Or the feathered toy on the end of the wand.  Grey Girl enjoys playing with the one year old female in the kitty room.  They play tag up and down the cat tower.  It is short-lived, but at least she has learned to play with others.  She is friendly with the other cats in the kitty room, but I think Grey would blossom more if she is the only cat getting all the attention!  She has never known that, being “the only cat”.  Grey can barely contain herself when mom pulls out the rubber brush!  No matter where she is in the kitty room, she is next to me immediately.  She is soon a large lump of love.  You can brush her for hours, it seems.  It is great watching her roll over and relax.  Grey has mastered the art of napping.  Don’t we all wish we could nap like a cat?  Head scratches?  Grey cannot get enough of them.  And back scratches, too?  Show me more!  Can you embrace this lovely, diluted grey and tan tortie with those big green, beautiful eyes?  It is time for her to get selected.  It is time for her to find her forever home.  Are you here to save the day?  To save Grey?  Please email CCR at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you want to be her 'Saving Greyce'.  Our vetting is extensive: Spay, rabies, FIV vaccine, FIV tested and negative, fecal and dewormings and a Drontal  and microchipped. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.July 24, 2025, 8:15 pm

Story
Meet beautiful mom Lily and her sweet kittens Marilyn, Edie, and Herman. Lily had a very rough start and her future looked bleak as an expecting mother living in the streets. She was so scared but very thankful to be rescued and happy to be in a home with her foster mom where she delivered her babies September 19th, 2023, just days after being rescued. This family is enjoying the good life now playing with other foster kittens while waiting for their forever home. Some of their favorite toys are toy mice and balls, cat tunnels, and a laser pointer of course. Mama Lily is very pretty and mostly white with beautiful blue green eyes. She is shy and timid at first but warms up with food and lots of love and affection. Lily loves to be petted which gets her purring. Lily has very petite features with her little ears and paws and a small meow. She loves the treats that her foster mom gives her every day. Lily still is playful and will chase the laser pointer and zoom through the house with her kittens.  Marilyn, Edie, and Herman are frisky kittens and play is their middle name.  They would love to be adopted as a family or with another sibling to play with.  The entire family is spayed/neutered, current on all shots, FIV negative and microchipped.  To be considered for their forever family and to request an application please contact us at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (They are currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)  November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm
