About some of the cats that Furry Friends is helping

Caterwaul is a senior stray cat whose rough life on the streets has taken a serious toll on his health. Unneutered and without any history of medical care, he's suffered years of neglect, and it's now painfully clear in the state of his mouth—his teeth are in such poor condition that he requires a full mouth extraction. His gums are inflamed, his teeth are rotten or missing, and eating has become a struggle. Despite everything he's been through, there's a resilience in Caterwaul’s eyes, and with the care he now desperately needs, there's hope that he can finally live out his golden years in comfort, free from the pain he’s silently endured for so long.

 Sushi is a young cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia, a neurological condition that affects his balance and coordination, giving him a signature wobbly walk. Life was already a bit of a challenge for him, but things took a heartbreaking turn when he suffered a massive head trauma—likely from some kind of accident. How it happened remains a mystery, and despite efforts to find his owners, no one ever came forward. Now orphaned and healing, Sushi is slowly regaining his strength with the help of compassionate caregivers. Though his journey has been tough, his spirit remains unshaken, and he greets each day with the same curious, brave heart that refuses to give up.

 Zeus is a dignified 17-year-old cat who was heartbreakingly left behind when his owners moved away, abandoning him in the twilight of his life. Despite his age and the quiet grace with which he carries himself, Zeus is battling kidney disease, and it's clear he likely doesn’t have much time left. Yet, even with a failing body, he still seeks gentle affection and the comfort of a warm place to rest. His eyes tell a story of love once given and lost, and now, all he wants is a soft landing—a peaceful, caring space to spend whatever time he has left, surrounded by kindness.

What is a match donation? When a person donates to Furry Friends through the GiveBig campaign, their donation is doubled until the match donations are used up. So, a $50 donation from a member of the public becomes $100 for the kitties. Join us today and support the cats and kittens of Furry Friends
