Sweet Adelaide

"Addie, which I decided would be short for Adelaide, is very happy with her new single-pet home. Sometimes the neighbor's dog can be heard barking, which she doesn't like, and she is still afraid of looking out the windows and the outside, but she is very at home here on the inside! Addie has been sleeping at the foot of my bed with me for about a week now, and greets me with purrs and headbuts when I come home. Believe it or not, she actually comes out when I call her name! She still loves being brushed and purrs the entire time, and adores her toy mouse and catnip kickaroo and strings, stalking them and pouncing. We are having a great time together! Thank you to everybody at FARS for taking such good care of Miss Adelaide until she found me!"

Newest Members of the FARS family

Raquel (Rocky) is less than 2 years old but has already had lots of kittens. Sadly, her people put the kittens out on the street as soon as they were weened. Eight week old kittens should not be living outside on their own.

Rocky was transferred to us and as soon as Raquel arrived at her new foster home, she started giving birth. This will be her last litter. As soon as they are old enough, Rocky and her kittens will all get spayed/neutered and find loving new homes.

Just Because I Want to Hide, Doesn't Mean I Don't Like to Play

Poor Tux is a scaredy-cat. Since he moved into our loud, bustling Adoption Center he's spent much of his time hiding in his tent. He likes being pet and will purr loudly. And, as you can see from this video, he likes to play.



Tux is looking for a nice quiet home where someone will be patient with him until he's comfortable enough to play and get pets at home.

Aspiring Soccer Star

Willow is a very playful boy. He loves to chase balls and jump high to catch feather toys. He's looking for a home with someone who will be amused by his antics.

Another Reason Why It's Hard to Photograph Kitties

Sometimes they try to eat your camera strap. Like Addie demonstrates:

Why photographing kittens is so hard

Most pictures I take of kittens look like this one of Daphne.



Here's a video of Miguel that illustrates why. (If you pay attention at the end you can hear him purr).



And here's the one successful photo I got of Miguel.




UPDATE - Miguel and Daphne found a home together!

Finger Licking Good

Midnight is a young cat who craves attention. He just arrived at the Cambridge PetSmart and he did not want to stay still for his photo. So, I took some video.

I promise, I didn't have anything tasty on my fingers. He just love to groom.
