Receiving Donations for Parking Cars

March 7, 2010 Terry Leave a comment

Kathleen, Rhonda and Mary

We had the best time Saturday parking cars at the Spring Show. Many Thanx and Purrs to the  W.K. Dickson and Company for letting us charge people going to Spring Show to park cars in their parking lot .  Their company is located on 616 Colonnade Drive and they are a multi-disciplined consulting firm specializing in community infrastructure solutions. The Spring Show was this past weekend at the Convention Center on Independence Blvd.  We were there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Other lots were asking $6 for parking and we only asked for $5. There are a lot of animal lovers in Charlotte!  Even though it was a little bit more of a walk – when they heard it was for a rescue group for animals – they did U turns to park in our lot. We passed out fliers and cards to all the cars coming into the lot. Hopefully we will get some great fans of F.U.R.R.

Purrs to our volunteers – Kathleen Drescher, Rhonda Price, Mary Mann, Mari Christensen and Terry Schultz.

Please Help an Injured Kitty

February 22, 2010 sasha11515 2 comments

This lovely kitty is Spice Girl! She is the mom cat of Pepper, Parsley and Paprika (see them below).

Spice Girl is a feral kitty, and before she was rescued with her kittens she suffered an injury that has affected her ability to control her tail. At first glance, her tail looks fine but as you watch her move around you can see that her tail just hangs and she can’t wrap it around herself likes cats normally do. She can’t move her tail at all.

We are not sure how she sustained this injury, but the veterinarian says that there is no possibility of repairing the damage as it appears the tail had been broken and could have neurological damage, and so the tail needs to be amputated.

Chip In to Help pay for Spice Girl’s surgery

Or you can send a check to

F.U.R.R.

PO Box 1164

Waxhaw, NC 28173

Spice Girl needs to have this operation whether she is re-released or tamed and adopted, because the tail could become infected and if she is re-released any number of other things could happen if her tail is just hanging behind her, and ultimately cause her to suffer and die. F.U.R.R. is running low on funds and is asking for your help to pay for Spice Girl’s surgery. The vet estimates the surgery will be about $300 and you can make a contribution on our donation page by clicking here: Feline Urgent Rescue & Rehab We really appreciate any help you can give to Spice Girl. She is already spayed, negative for FIV & FeLV, and her vaccinations are up to date.

Here are Spice Girl’s beautiful kittens…

MuddyCat’s new home

February 11, 2010 sasha11515 3 comments

Hi Terry,

So far things are going well—he’s been using Tali’s room as his “base” and knows that he’s safe there.  He’s wandering around the house more, and is running away less when the dog comes around.  It’s actually the dog that needs more training than him—of course she would love to play and run around and sniff his rear end, and he’s not that interested!  MuddyCat did show great interest in the dog’ food though, even though he’s been eating his own (not doing much w/ his dry food).  So we’ll find a way to NOT let him do that!

He’s being lovable though, welcoming to all the PEOPLE in the house!  The kids like him a lot, and have renamed him “Geoff(rey) Chaucer”, don’t ask me why, I guess just because Tali really wanted an author’s name!  They call him Geoff, I call him Mr. Chaucer, Sir.

Thanks again for letting us take him!  Hope you’re not missing him too much!

If you’ve been keeping up with F.U.R.R. activities, you might have read about 3 kittens we rescued that were living in a bad situation in Monroe a few months ago. Well, the siblings have come a long way since we first saw them! The 3 kittens were recently all adopted together, and here are Mocha, Latte & Cocoa today…

Mocha is Exploring the Screened Porch!

Here is Latte exploring the screened porch!

Look at Mocha, Latte & Cocoa Playing Nice Together!

And here are Mocha, Latte & Cocoa napping with Dad after all that exploring and playing!

The new parents, Mike and Robin, are thrilled with the new additions to their family and as you can see everyone is happy and content!

This is what F.U.R.R. lives for!
