Story
Rusty was born with his siblings, Puff Puff and Flash, to an abandoned momma. A Good Samaritan took them in and allowed them to thrive. Now these precious young ones are looking for their forever homes. They would love to go together if possible but would be ok apart. He is gentle, sweet, but a little shy in the beginning, especially with new people. He will need patience but comes around with time. He loves to rub on you and talk to you!! He is well worth the wait.

Story
Apply to Adopt: FurBabiesRescue.org This is Missy. She 2 years old and looking for her fur-ever home. Missy's mom died when she was about 10 weeks old. She is good with adults but hasn't been around young children so I'm not sure about them but older kids are ok. She does well with my dog. Some cats are ok but but not sure about all of them. I think her fur-ever home would be with someone that would be able to focus on her and build a loving relationship. She can be timid at first but will warm right up with the right person. She is very independent and loves to run and play and loves pets on her terms

Story
Apply to adopt: FurBabiesRescue.org Meet Mittens! This sweet girl was left home alone after her owner was hospitalized; she was then abandoned at the vet by a neighbor. She has now been spayed and vetted and looking for an owner to love and cherish her forever. She is around 4 years old; so very sweet and snuggly despite the lot she has been dealt. Please consider adopting this sweet girl! I would have initially said that she is not good with other cats, however, she has learned to love other kitties; laying with them, grooming them, and playing with them. She would likely take an adjustment period to adapt to new animals, as most cats would. But I think she would appreciate other cats in the home as well.

Story
Apply to Adopt: FurBabiesRescue.org Special needs: senior in good health but seniors are special because they need more wellness checks and senior bloodwork. Please only adopt a senior if you are prepared for senior health issues that may come along. Midnight lost his human. Sadly, his human passed away, leaving him alone in his apartment. The family took great care of midnight until they found Fur Babies Rescue to foster him. He is a loving guy who wants lots of affection then he finds a sunny window to nap. He loves treats! He is a very easy and laid back cat once he gets comfortable on his new home. It took around a week for him to relax after getting to his foster home. His life got turned upside down and he is rolling with it now. He would love a very quiet home with his new human. He has used the litter box perfectly since arriving at his foster home. Midnight is exclusively an indoor cat. He has never been outside and would not know what to do. Please do not consider adopting him if he would be allowed outside. Apply to adopt or to become a foster home for all types of cats: Furbabiesrescue.org Midnight will get vaccine updates 2-11-25. We believe he is neutered but we will confirm that at his appointment also.
