Story
Meet Brisby 🐾💖 — Your Lovey, Silly Sidekick Brisby is a young, loving kitty with a big personality. She’s the kind of cat who will boop you, hug you, and give you kisses—yes, really! 💕 This sweet girl is full of life and fun. One minute you’ll be laughing as she chases toys or gets the “zoomies,” and the next you’ll catch her quietly observing her kingdom like the little queen she is. 👑 Brisby is also wonderfully social—she doesn’t mind other cats and absolutely LOVES dogs, making her a great fit for many homes. She is FIV+, but don’t let that scare you—FIV+ cats can live long, happy lives and can safely live with other friendly cats. ✨ Why you’ll love Brisby: • Young, affectionate, and full of personality • Gives kisses, hugs, and adorable “boops” • Playful, curious, and entertaining • Good with other cats and dogs • FIV+ (and thriving!) • Spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated If you’re looking for a fun, loving companion who will keep you smiling and shower you with affection, Brisby is your girl. 💕🐾 💻 Apply to adopt at FORrescue.net

Story
Say hello to Iceman. Iceman is a sweet quiet young man who is looking for a patient home. He actually loves being in your lap but needs a home willing to give him time to settle in and who understands he wants to ask for attention vs receive it randomly. He absolutely loves other cats, particularly other friendly playful cats, and would make a great companion for another young cat or kitten. Iceman is a quiet shy cat who's had a rough life in his 1.3 years. Iceman was originally with FOR as a kitten, was adopted and when he was about 8 months, he was diagnosed with FIP. FIP is considered fatal, however there is an experimental treatment that shows a lot of promise and his adopters decided to get him started with it. Part way through the 3 month treatment, they decided to release him back to FOR, and he's been in a foster home since then. He completed his initial 3 months of treatment and completed a 3 month monitor period and he is as healthy as they come. Once the three month period is over with no relapse, he is considered cured from FIP, making him an #FIPWarrior and #FIPSurvivor. He is listed as special needs because of the FIP in his past, although it is not expected to influence him again. The initial stages of FIP treatment are very painful, so he has anxiety about being approached and being grabbed. He is very happy to approach you and sit on your lap and be petted, but he wants it to be on his terms. Do you have a special place for Iceman? He's alive thanks to his treatment, he's healthy as can be and he just needs a kind and patient home who understands his quirks. He's fully vetted, neutered and ready to move on (preferably to home with a cat buddy too).

Story
Meet Moxie! Moxie is a stunning black kitten with a playful spirit and a heart full of curiosity. She may be a bit shy with people, but don’t let that fool you—this special girl loves to play! Whether it’s chasing a wand toy or batting at a jingly ball, Moxie will happily interact with humans through playtime. She’s also a big fan of treats! While she’s still learning to trust human hands, she will reluctantly—but adorably—enjoy lickable treats from her favorite people. Moxie LOVES other cats and would thrive in a home with feline friends—especially if she can bring her best friend, Pippa, along! She’s also great with dogs and would do well in a patient, cat-savvy home that understands her need for time and space to adjust. Because of Moxie’s fear and need for a calm environment, she requires a home with no children. She will need an adopter who is willing to be patient as she continues to build trust at her own pace. While Moxie may never be a lap cat, she will reward the right adopter with playful antics, quiet companionship, and the joy of watching her grow in confidence. Moxie is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. She is currently in Huntsville, AL, and is ready to find a quiet, loving home that will give her the patience and understanding she needs to truly shine. If you’re ready to open your heart to a unique and playful girl like Moxie, fill out an application today! 📧 Questions? Email us at info@forrescue.net

Story
Winnie is the sweetest, most precious little girl, that wants nothing more than to have her own human to love. She is extremely affectionate, and would be the best little companion for someone. Winnie would do best as an only pet, because she is quite scared of other animals, having been tormented by a puppy in her previous home. Winnie is spayed, chipped, and up to date on vaccines. She is fostered in Huntsville Alabama, and is not available for transport. If interested in giving this sweet girl her happily ever after, please submit an application at forrescue.net.

Story
We were given egg in 2024. She was not use to humans. We have had her for 3 years and we are assuming she is about 4 years old maybe younger. Since then she loves people and she loves kittens. One of our other cats had a small litter and she stepped up to care for the kittens. She is extremely playful and loving.
