Story
  Autumn - Female Spayed DOB 8/26/2022 Domestic Short Hair Black & White Tuxedo - Autumn is a spunky little girl who knows what she wants!  This feisty girl did not have an easy start in life, she was found as an orphan with her chin "degloved", basically all the fur and flesh had been pulled back from her mouth to her neck.  Luckily she was rescued by a wonderful rescue partner and you would have no idea it ever happened by looking at her now.  No one knows what happened to Autumn to cause the severe injury but everyone knows she is a little survivor!  Autumn has a heart murmur, she has been checked by a cardiologist  She is on twice daily atenolol.  Autumn currently exhibits no symptoms or issues and her medication is working to support her heart as needed.  Autumn would like to find her new home.  She has done well with  other kitties, but definitely prefers males to females.  Autumn does do ok with a cat friendly dog!  Respectful children would be ok as well.  Any approved adopter would be required to have a good relationship with their vet.

Story
  Peter - Male DOB 3/12/2023 Domestic Short Hair Black/Tan & White Tabby - Meet Jan and Peter!  This adorable pair of siblings came to us from the streets of Baltimore.  They have spent many months in foster care being socialized and would really like to find their new home together.  Jan is the more outgoing of the pair and is more confident.  Peter has come such a long way, he is still finding his confidence around strangers but he loves his foster family.  Peter loves to play fetch, he will bring you things to throw. He is very active all day, likes to chase bugs and look out the window. Jan is more laid-back. She likes to go upstairs and sleep under the bed most of the afternoon and then come down for an early supper but she likes to play with toys as well. They mostly like little furry mice toys that they can carry in their mouth.  These sweet siblings will need a quiet home and patient person to allow them to settle in but once they trust you, Jan will come lay with you for snuggles and pets, Peter will as well but waits for his sister to show him that it's ok.  If you want to win them over quicker, break out the Churu treats, they can't get enough of those! Jan and Peter love watching the birds and critters outside, a nice sunny windowsill or cat tower and they will be in heaven.  Don't pass up the shy kitties, they can be some of the most amazing and loyal kitties once they trust you.  No dogs or children would be best.  Please apply via our easy online application at https://furrr.org/cat-adoption-process/All kitten(s) and cat(s) at FuRRR Feline Rescue are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations for their age, combo tested for FIV/FeLV, microchipped and have a Health Certificate from a licensed NH veterinarian.  Our application is available to be completed online at  https://furrr.org/cat-adoption-process/  Applying DOES NOT guarantee approval.  We hold meet and greets with approved applications only.  (Kittens are available for adoption in pairs only unless they are going home to another kitten or young cat under 3) Our policy is strictly NO DECLAWING and INDOOR ONLY.

  Eloise - Female DOB 4/11/2023 Domestic Short Hair Dilute Tortoiseshell - Meet Eloise! Eloise is a beautiful little tortie girl that knows what she likes and what she doesn't like.  After being found as a tiny kitten in South Carolina, under someone's care and neighborhood dogs barking at her...she doesn't like dogs, at all.  Eloise is looking for a quiet home and a sweet human that will be patient and let her have time to settle into her new home.  It took her a bit to settle into the rescue and one thing that really helped was having other sweet kitties there to make her feel safe. If you have a sweet kitty that is looking for a friend, Eloise might be a match.  We would love to set up a meet and greet for you in our quiet room with Eloise.  Please apply via our easy online application at https://furrr.org/cat-adoption-process/All kitten(s) and cat(s) at FuRRR Feline Rescue are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations for their age, combo tested for FIV/FeLV, microchipped and have a Health Certificate from a licensed NH veterinarian.  Our application is available to be completed online at  https://furrr.org/cat-adoption-process/  Applying DOES NOT guarantee approval.  We hold meet and greets with approved applications only.  (Kittens are available for adoption in pairs only unless they are going home to another kitten or young cat under 3) Our policy is strictly NO DECLAWING and INDOOR ONLY.
