FuRRR Information

We provide lifetime sanctuary to cats who may be less desirable to adopting families due to age, chronic illness, behavioral skittishness or special needs. FuRRR has retirement residents that are/were 18 & 19 years old that were surrendered when their owners passed away. Other residents have neurological disorders and many have behavioral issues. Our volunteers spend extra time with these cats that need special attention. The geographic area we serve is New Hampshire, southern Maine and northeast Massachusetts. We have even had an adopter fly from Colorado to adopt a bonded pair of kittens from FuRRR! We are dedicated to keeping administrative costs low so that virtually every dollar donated goes directly to the care of our cats. 98% of all money contributed is spent directly in support of animal rescue and rehabilitation, with the remaining 2% supporting administration and fundraising. We have achieved this with much being paid for by our volunteer Board of Directors. We have a small but growing group of recurring monthly sponsors. FuRRR holds online auctions with amazing items donated by our volunteers and supporters. These auctions are held on our Facebook page and our supporters look forward to them several times per year. All funds raised benefit our FuRRR cats! When we have cats that come to us with extensive medical needs, we hold online fundraisers on our Facebook page. We have the most amazing supporters who have helped our cats who needed eye enucleation from severe upper respiratory infections in the shelter, to kittens born with eyelid agenesis who needed reconstructive surgery to provide a functional eyelid, to a stray kitten that was found on the side of the road in the rain who needed liver shunt surgery. His name is Turtle (because he moved so slowly when found) and over a year after surgery he is a happy healthy kitty! FuRRR believes in fighting for the voiceless cats that have been abandoned, abused, neglected and forgotten.
