Here is a chance to help FuRR win money, which we can use for expanding the FuRR spay/neuter efforts and feeding cats. All you have to do is click on the link and vote for Library Cat Alex, and help him win the Bissell MVP (Most Valuable Pet) photo contest.

Let's beat the over 600 votes Footsie got and send Alex to the finals! They've never had an orange tabby in the "top 5" so he has a great chance to win. He can win up to $5000 for FuRR and appear on Bissell packaging for a year.

The voting is a little harder this year - you have to create an account to do it. Follow the link , click on Please Log In to Vote, click on If Not a Member Click Here to Create an Account, once that is done click on VOTE, then search for Alex, click on his picture and then on the Vote tab just to the right of the tab that shows the number of votes. Note: You do NOT use your email account's actual password!

We have through Thursday, January 14, 2010, to vote - there are over 3500 entries - but we can do it!

Big Footsie

With deep sadness FuRR announces the passing of Big Footsie. On Wednesday, July 8, 2009 Big Footsie crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge in the arms of his loving Mom, Susan Loesch. Providing his final care was his longtime friend and veterinarian, Dr. Cole Bierbaum.

Those of you who know Susan or have spent any time with FuRR volunteers know of Footsie's importance to FuRR. He is one of our founding members and our hearts are broken with this loss.

Update: Big Footsie's Memory pages are live. Please click here to view them. You can also use the "In Memory" menu selection to find Footsie's pages. There are multiple pages. Use the navigation buttons at the bottom right of each page. Big Footsie's pages will be updated from time to time. Check the pages for instructions on how you can have input.

Our Mission...

Is to rescue cats that have been abused, abandoned or surrendered to shelters that practice euthanasia as a means of animal control. We will actively promote and practice trap, alter and release, removing adoptable cats and kittens from feral/stray colonies to be re-homed. To work with other animal lovers and animal welfare groups to provide humane education and assistance to the public, encouraging them to spay and neuter their pets. To provide loving care, medical attention, socialization, and ultimately place all adoptable cats in loving homes.

Want to adopt?

We have many loving and very adoptable cats and kittens. Just click on "Adopt Me!" on the left of the page.

This web site contains only a few of our cats and kittens. If you don't see what you want, call the number given to ask for more information.

FuRR adoption fees are: Kittens under 6 months are $70, adults are $55. The adoption fee includes felv/fiv testing, a spay or neuter when the cat is old enough, and vaccinations already administered to the cat or kitten appropriate for the cat's age. Further required vaccinations are the responsibility of the adopter.

Our Wish List...

• Most importantly, our cats are looking for their "forever" homes. We have lots of sweet darlings who are ready to fill your life with joy. Please click on "Adoptions" on the left to see just a few of our cats. If you don't see what you want, call or email us and we'll contact you.
• If you can't give them "forever" homes, we still have fun felines who need a foster home, til they can be adopted permanently. We are so short of foster homes, we have more cats than there are fosters. The lack of foster homes is an extreme limiting factor in what FuRR can accomplish.
• You can find more volunteer opportunities by clicking on "Volunteer" on the left.
• Our cats can't get themselves to the adoption events and clinics by themselves. They would like a little help from volunteers who will show them at the adoptions events and transport them to clinics.
• FuRR's furry felines also appreciate quality cat food, cleaning supplies, bedding, cat carriers, cat toys, just about anything needed to care for felines.
• Let's not forget that thing that makes the world go 'round. Cash donations will buy many of the things listed above and will provide medical care and fund the spay/neuter clinics.
• We are a federally approved non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.
• You can donate by clicking on the Paypal icon above, or by shopping through iGive.com, or donations can be mailed to:
