My Story

Please note there is no need to complete an adoption questionnaire this   adoption site .  We only need our   Adoption Application Questionnaire completed.   December 2025  –  I noticed the other week that SHRIMP had horrible breath!  That can be a sign of mouth infection & bad teeth/gums.  I looked in her mouth & could see she had dental problems.  I got her in to Sound Cat for a dental.  Luckily they had an opening and she went yesterday. $1,300 later, most of her teeth had been pulled!  She will surely feel better after healing up from the surgery.  Poor thing! SHRIMP’S brother, RED FISH, also had a dental, with most teeth pulled, about a month ago.  I guess it’s genetic plus bad nutrition before being rescued. These dental surgeries are necessary not only because of the infection from broken or bad teeth/gums, but also to relieve pain. Pictures of RED FISH & SHRIMP.  Both siblings still waiting for a home this Christmas!   September 2025 –  More great photos of Shrimp (white/calico) and Red Fish (orange tabby)! They’ll be so happy to have a FURR-ever home.  Learn more about their amazing story below. May 19, 2025  RED FISH (orange tabby) & SHRIMP (white/calico) have come back & are in Room 3. They are doing really well considering & need LOTS of gentle love. SHRIMP will hiss at everyone, but she is just scared & you can pet & love on her. RED FISH is super sweet but scared. These poor cats have been gone TWO years & now back at FURR. I love them both & will see to it that their future WILL be better! April 2023 -  Read Shrimp & Red Fish's wonderful  fostering success story ! Early 2023 - Shrimp is a tiny but colorful girl who is longing for someone to love her! She came from a rough place early in her life but she has made huge progress and just needs some reassurance and a little love. She is so soft and beautiful and loves to be petted and brushed. She is a gentle girl but still a little shy and ready for the next step in her little life. She gets along great with other non-dominant cats that won't pick on her. If you want a gorgeous, sweet and quiet little kitty to love, this is your girl! FURR adopts to approved homes only in the Hampstead/Wilmington area.
