Cats we have loved and that will be missed…
Ada Jane
Ada Jane
Est. DOB 02/10/1995
Arrived 02/11/2005
Age at arrival: 10 years
Ada Jane crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 20, 2015.
Ada Jane was ten years old when she was dropped off at an animal shelter to be euthanized. Instead, Jacci rescued her and brought her here. She never had a full size meow-always a silent one. Her head tilted, possibly due to a head injury when she was young. She loved baskets and to nap on top of the dryer. The jiggling of the dryer put her to sleep. We loved the black dot on her nose! She was the easiest oldster we’ve ever had–no problems, just wanted attention. In her last year, Ada Jane found her meow-er! She could crank it up high and so enjoyed meowing to let us know when she was hungry again!
Albert with Bella
Albert
Est. DOB
Arrived 2009
Age at arrival:
Albert crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2009.
This little boy was loved by so many. He was a very long haired tiger boy. He arrived in poor condition and suffered smoke inhalation. He was found right by a burn pile. Some of his fur had been singed. And his eyes—they were so cloudy. It was thought this was damage from the smoke. Albert was so tiny, so cute and loved being held. He was always tired. He didn’t play much but he sure did enjoy being held. He was dubbed Prince Albert and the volunteers and viewers so loved him. He passed away at such a young age but he never was short on love. Our burial garden/memorial garden that we have for the cats is named for him…Albert’s Garden. He will never be forgotten.
Alice Mary
Alice Mary
DOB 04/16/2016
Arrived 09/16/2016
Age at arrival: 5 months
Alice Mary crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 18, 2017.
Alice Mary arrived as a 5-month-old kitten, such a little girl in size, but huge in beauty–an all white Persian. Alice Mary had several medical issues that we tried to help her with. But after much vetting, her little life was tired. We loved her so and marveled at her sweetness. On those days that she would eat, we would always cheer her on–messy face and all. She was so loved.
Asha
Asha
Est. DOB 03/01/2010
Arrived 03/07/2011
Age at arrival: 1 year
Asha crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 12, 2023.
Asha came to the rescue center with a leg that had been badly broken and then healed, leaving her with a painful and misshapen leg. She had also been marked as a feral (the left ear notch). After having her bad leg removed she slowly came out of her shell and was shown to be anything but feral. She loved to be held and was the best chin rubber there could be! She was also known as Ashaaaaaaa.
August
August
DOB 07/04/2013
Arrived 12/17/2013
Age at arrival: 5 months
August crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 20, 2019.
August originally came from a Beach Park in Hollywood, FL. He arrived with Jackson, his best friend. They both became Covies and loved it outside in the large playground. It was more to their style of living than being inside! August was so handsome….a grey silver tiger. He was one of our moderate CH cats. One of his favorite things was chicken! And snackers, too, of course.
Azar
Azar
DOB 05/11/2011
Arrived 05/17/2012
Age at arrival: 1 year
Azar crossed the Rainbow Bridge on October 20, 2022.
Azar came to FFRC on May 17, 2012 at the age of one. He was found just wandering around a busy neighborhood and was brought to FFRC. Since he was very stressed as an inside cat, he became a Porchie. He would often sneak into the office though and take long naps, then scoot outside. Sometimes he would sneak in the center but immediately wanted out. He just couldn’t make up his mind.
In 2013 and 2014 he started disappearing for days then would show up as if it was no big deal. He sometimes would be gone for almost two weeks but never seemed hungry when he came back. So Jacci had a hunch and decided to put a collar on him with a note on it. The note said: “I am Azar Moss. My mom is Jacci and she thinks I visit somewhere else. Please call (my number) and talk to her”. So, he was only gone about 5 hours and Jacci got a call.
Turns out he would stay at a house about 5 houses down the street from FFRC. They would feed him, he would ask to go out to use the bathroom and spend a week or so each visit with their young son. He would sleep with the boy at night. Then when he felt it was time, he would go back to FFRC. So Jacci and the family decided to have joint custody of Azar.
His ‘other’ family is aware of his passing and was able to say goodbye. He simply got sick and was taken to the vet and after some tests it became clear there was nothing that could be done. He passed in loving arms.
How lucky was Azar to have two loving homes that let him be the cat he was meant to be. He lived the best life possible, surrounded by love no matter where he spent his time. Rest now Azar, and please look over both your loving homes.
Bella
Bella
DOB 09/01/2002
Arrived 10/13/2002
Age at arrival: 6 weeks
Bella crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 2, 2016.
Bella, or “Queen Bella” as she liked to be called, came to the rescue center as a 6-week-old kitten. Bella was lying on the center yellow lines on a road when a friend found her. He carried her cradled in his arms. She obviously had been hit by a car. Her right rear leg was shattered and she had compressed vertebrae that caused some paralysis in her tail and left rear leg. Unfortunately, her right rear leg had to be amputated. The paralysis in her tail and remaining leg was “moderate,” but that didn’t stop Bella! She couldn’t climb up a tree, but we have so many catwalks and shelves here, that there was not a place in the Rescue Center that Bella could not get to. We think she was graceful scooting around the Center. When Bella napped, she preferred her red poof so she could sink down into it. She could climb and even scoot very fast, especially when she heard a jar of baby food being opened! She also loved to spend time in the outdoor dog fence area. Bella was also awesome at mothering kittens! She was such an inspiration!
Big Al
Big Al
Est. DOB 05/20/2005
Arrived 06/15/2007
Age at arrival: 2 years
Big Al crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January 5, 2015.
Big Al–wow a handsome big boy. He also had an extra pet name–Big Black, Beautiful, Baby Al. And he liked that name! Al was 2 years old when he arrived. He became a Porchie. He simply appeared on the property and wouldn’t let me catch him. So, a live trap was set and within minutes he was in it. He raised his back and tail and that was it—instant friendship! And he was friends with everyone–such a big heart and a loud purr. And he so loved the visitors. Big Al loved the farmyard too–he was very content with all the animals and people. He developed trouble with his ear and had to have a resection of his left ear. He healed quickly and never had any more problems. He passed away here at FFRC and is still missed. One big boy with an extra big heart.
Bondi
Bondi
Est. DOB 05/01/1998
Arrived 05/07/2012
Age at arrival: 14 years
Bondi crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 15, 2013.
Bondi arrived in such a sad, awful condition. One of our volunteers was out for a run, and came across her. She was utterly thin, weighing only 4.14. She truly looked like a sketeton. It took weeks to really start seeing a difference in Bondi, but it happened! She put on 2 pounds! Bondi had a tough personality–she knew what she wanted and she pretty much got what she wanted! It was probably her personality that kept her alive–her spunkiness! She made us smile, when we think of her will to enjoy her last part of her life here with us at FFRC. She was another oldster!
Bravo
Bravo
Est. DOB May 2012
Arrived 06/19/2012
Age at arrival: 5 weeks
Bravo crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 17, 2012.
His name was Bravo because he was oh so brave. His rear legs were deformed/solid, meaning they were useless. Also the skin between the hip and knee became so tight, it too was a problem. His surgery was August 15. Unfortunately he passed away 2 days later. It was realized during surgery that he had other internal deformities as well. So sad. We were not prepared to lose this extra sweet boy. In his short life, he lived to the fullest. He was happy and was allowed to be a kitten. Bravo….he taught us much about love.
Caesar
Caesar
Est. DOB 04/03/2008
Arrived Spring 2014
Age at arrival: 6 years
Caesar crossed the Rainbow Bridge on July 3, 2017.
Caesar came to our farm in 2014. His owner had passed away and we were asked to give Caesar a new home. He started out as a Barnie (he had always been an outside cat) and he made friends. Over time, he discovered that being a Porchie is where he really fit in. He came, visited the Porchies, and there he stayed. He loved meeting and greeting our visitors and the volunteers. He lived his life to the fullest—so loved the freedom he had of being friends with the farm animals and all the cats “out there” and being friends with the 2-leggeds.
Camvie
Camvie
Est. DOB 05/17/2013
Arrived 06/09/2013
Age at arrival: 3.5 weeks
Camvie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 39, 2023.
Camvie arrived here at FFRC as a tiny kitten of 3 1/2 weeks old on 6/9/13. She was a brown tiger/torti. Unfortunately she arrived with a severe URI that was not able to be cleared up. All her life, she still sneezed “messily,” for lack of another word. She was super sweet but her sneezes were not something welcomed in a home. She was a really good foster mama and she made sure the orphan kittens were extra loved on. She was one of the best “wheel runners” at the center.
CDot Moss
CDot Moss
Est. DOB 06/07/2020
Arrived 07/02/2020
Age at arrival: 3.5 weeks
CDot crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 28, 2021.
CDot arrived as a 3 1/2 week old kitten, weighing just 7 ounces. He was a very sick little kitten who needed lots of care and TLC. He gradually got better. But something happened. He wiggled right into Jacci’s heart. He decided the best way to be mobile was on Jacci’s shoulder where he spent lots of time! He officially became a Moss cat but stayed mostly in the Rescue Center so he could stay with his friends.
Charlie
Charlie
Est. DOB March 2008
Arrived 09/15/2006
Age at arrival: 1.5 years
Charlie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 12, 2019.
Charlie–one of the handsomest brown tiger boys ever. He arrived here March of 2008 when he was just 1 1/2 years old. He’s one of those that just showed up and made himself at home and became a Covie. Charlie always had that look of friendship, although sometimes he liked to tease us too! He loved running and rolling in the grass and had lots of cat and people friends. He so enjoyed his Covie-life.
Coralie
Coralie
Est. DOB 06/12/2012
Arrived 01/08/2014
Age at arrival: 1.5 years
Coralie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on October 2, 2022.
Coralie was a victim of frostbite. No pet should ever have to go thru what Coralie went through. She was found so so cold on a porch where a lady found her and brought her to FFRC. After many surgeries she lived a wonderful, happy life. But, frostbite cost her dearly. Both of her ear tips were gone, most of her tail had to be removed, many toes on her front feet were removed. And sadly, she also lost both of her rear legs. She always did just fine and went where she wanted to go!

Est. DOB 04/07/2011
Arrived 02/23/2013
Age at arrival: 1 year 10 months
Cozarelii crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 17, 2015.
Cozarelii was another CH cat (Cerebellar Hypoplasia). He was in a rescue in Columbus when it was decided that FFRC would love to give him a forever home. He was a sweetie. His mobility is definitely compromised, but he loved to walk around and play and be treated like a normal cat! He thoroughly loved diving into the circular cat furniture pieces and then watch over things. He had a forever home here and was given lots of love! He arrived with Solee.
Cutie
Cutie
Est. DOB 07/2/2006
Arrived 07/26/2006
Age at arrival: 3 weeks
Cutie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 17, 2020.
Cutie arrived as a kitten with a parasite (cuterebra) in her head. This parasite burrowed into the back of her neck, causing some neurological damage, which is why she listed to the side when she walked and had balance problems. There was nothing she loved more than to climb into a lap when someone sat on the floor and would show up out of nowhere almost as soon as someone sat down. Her second favorite thing was to have a snack of baby food during the day. She was super happy, loved to bathe or cuddle a kitten, and was one of the sweetest cats ever on earth.
Dodger
Dodger
Est. DOB unknown
Arrived 10/11/2010
Age at arrival: an old oldster
Dodger crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 14, 2011.
Dodger was brought to us in a box. This poor cat appeared in very bad condition. It turned out his owner died and his family simply put him outside and drove away. He slipped under the house and was rarely seen. Six months went by and he was in such bad condition, the neighbor brought him to us. He was completely covered in tight mats, had rotted teeth, emaciated and dehydrated and thousands of maggots infested his skin. We started work on him right away. It took weeks of care, lots of naps, good food, many baths but he survived. He spent some time in a pen for his recovery. This pen is known as Dodger’s Pen even yet today. He won our hearts. He was loved, cuddled, whatever he wanted, Dodger got. The greatest thing was that he knew he was so loved. He passed just 4 months after his arrival but they were a wonderful 4 months.
Emaline
Emaline
Est. DOB 09/16/2009
Arrived 12/02/2009
Age at arrival: 11 weeks
Emaline crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 9, 2013.
Emaline arrived here when she was just 11 weeks old. She was one very very sick kitten. She also had to have an eye removed due to a severe eye infection. Her other eye had much scar tissue on it. She eventually improved and was adopted when she was 6 months old. She stayed in this home till she was a little over 1 year of age. Her owner couldn’t keep her any longer as it was too difficult for her to keep up with Emaline’s medical issues. She had numerous vet checks–all saying her immune system was very compromised. She frequently had skin problems and eyes/ears/face inflammation. This was a forever type problem with Emaline. After working with her for a year and a half, trying to get her healthy enough to adopt her out, we decided that she was going to remain as a resident of FFRC. She was a love. And she certainly enjoyed being petted, loving on the kittens and playing. She actually ended up being adopted by Jacci and became a housecat!
Fabio
Fabio
Est. DOB 10/15/2007
Arrived winter 2009
Age at arrival: 2 years
Fabio crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 11, 2017.
Fabio–what a handsome boy he was….and he knew it! He had long flowing fur. Sometimes he would sit there and just shake–made his fur even fluffier! Fabio simply showed up one day on the property. He played “hard to get” at first. And then one day, he melted and became such a love. He so enjoyed the visitors and would sit for long periods of time on laps. He loved to drape himself across laps and take a nap. A super wonderful cat.
Farrah
Farrah
Est. DOB 05/16/2009
Arrived 6/27/2009
Age at arrival: 7 weeks
Farrah crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 23, 2019.
Farrah was found in the woods, just a tiny kitten. She came here full of fun and orneriness! When she was a youngster, she needed a certain medication that caused a severe seizure reaction. It took her a full day to slowly come around. After that initial recovery, she continued to have periodic seizures. Our vets started her on a twice-daily medication that kept the seizures under control. She was here for so long, mostly because for most people, her seizure history caused them to bypass her as an adoption. Since she had been here for so many years, it was decided that she needed to stay. We were sure to keep her on track with her meds and monitor any seizure problems she had. She developed Congestive Heart Failure in her final months.
Froggy
Froggy
Est. DOB 05/05/2015
Arrived 07/03/2015
Age at arrival: 8 weeks
Froggy crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 11, 2015.
Froggy–what a special boy he was. He had us all at his beck and call. He arrived here when he was just 8 weeks old. Froggy was a severe CH kitten. He was not able to stand at all. Froggy spent much of his time in his pool–big enough for many of the kittens to join him. Froggy liked to play and bat at toys and to flip around in the safety of his pool. We loved him so much. Sometimes he would join the other kittens on the floor. He liked all people and cats. Whatever Froggy needed or wanted, we did for him. He enjoyed being made a fuss over. His blankies and toys even were frog designs! He passed away quietly and with people who loved him.
Giovanna
Giovanna
Est. DOB 12/2/????
Arrived 12/14/2016
Age at arrival: unknown
Giovanna crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 23, 2018.
Giovanna was found by a past volunteer friend. She brought her to FFRC. This one broke our hearts–such a sweet girl with so many problems–she was very thirsty and hungry and dehydrated. Her front right leg was gone and she had major dental problems. Her fur was so dirty. She touched our hearts and we promised her a life of forever being comfortable here at FFRC. She arrived as a geriatric–our vets never did determine an age for her–just an oldster. She was with us for just 2 years. And in those 2 years she received and gave lots of love. A real treasure of a cat.
Hank
Hank
Est. DOB 08/15/2001
Arrived 06/10/2003
Age at arrival: 2 years
Hank crossed the Rainbow Bridge September 2014.
Hank–a big grey boy that loved everything and everyone. He was brought here by a friend of ours. Hank decided he was a farm cat and a Porchie cat. Actually, he fit in with all the cats! If there was a tour going on, Hank would join in. When chores were being done on the farmyard, Hank would lend a paw. He was just a great cat. He passed away at one of his very favorite spots–overlooking the river where he enjoyed watching things going on. He truly was a super friend to have.
Heaven with Jacci
Heaven
Est. DOB about 1998
Arrived 04/02/2013
Age at arrival: about 15 years
Heaven crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 15, 2013.
Heaven–what can we say but we are so very happy she was with us. We knew very well when we accepted her that she would not be with us long. But, truly that doesn’t matter. What does matter is the amount of love given while she was with us. Her owner passed about 7 years ago and she was put outside to live. She had developed a horrible face disfigurement–cancer. We knew her time here wasn’t long. She wanted in the main area and we made the conscious decision we were NOT going to “hide” her. So, up she came. She loved it here and grew in all the love she received. When she started showing signs of respiratory problems, we made the decision to let her go before stress set in. There’s another star in the sky named Heaven.

Hensley crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 06, 2023.
Hensley was a brown tiger with moderate CH. He was also a seizure cat but it was under control with medication. He came from North Carolina. He needed a home–where he came from he couldn’t stay long term. So, Hensley came here! He was a fun boy. He loved the laser light and toys with feathers. Hensley also was unique in that he loved to take his naps in Dodger’s Pen. He’d go to it and meow until we picked him up and put him in it. Then he cuddled under the blankies for a long nap! He loved to be held too.
Honey

Arrived 06/24/2004
Age at arrival: 9 months
Honey crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 2, 2015.
Honey came to FFRC as a stray. She preferred being a Covie rather than in the Main Area. She was only 9 months old when she arrived. She was everyone’s friend but her and Muffin were best friends. Her birthday is 9/15/03, so she was 12 years old when she passed. She loved being petted and to have her whole back scratched. Laying in a big patch of sunshine was always enjoyed by her.

Arrived 03/25/2013
Age at Arrival: 21 years
Jack crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 22, 2013.
Jack arrived at FFRC because his beloved friend had to move into full time care and wanted him to go somewhere where he would be safe and loved. He was a big boy, weighing in at about 19 pounds and was often seen wandering the center late at night. His family had visited with him via the webcam and could see that he had settled in to life at FFRC very well. He certainly enjoyed attention and responded positively to it. Jack enjoyed ice cubes in his water and loved playing with his water bowl. Jack was 21 when he passed away.

Age at arrival: 1.5 years
Janie Moss crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 28, 2021.
Janie came to FFRC as a sick dog but recovered completely. Janie was a Shih Tzu. From the beginning of her time here, Janie always enjoyed the cats and kittens. She and the other dogs shared a “doggie room.” When she became the last of the doggies, she simply stayed out in the Main Area of the rescue center. Her job: to love the kittens and cats so they know that potential dogs in their futures can be friends with them! Janie climbed the Kuranda Towers, napped in a pile of kittens, and was known as our cat-dog!

Jessie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 5, 2020.
Jessie–what a beauty. Jessie arrived at FFRC when she was an oldster–15 years old. She was part Maine Coon. She had lived with her human mom for all those years but she could no longer care for Jessie. She had a sweet personality and enjoyed being petted. One of her favorite nap spots was on the warm dryer top. She also liked catnip toys. Considering her age, her health was good! She also liked the sunshine that comes in from the windows.
Joline
Joline
Est. DOB 05/06/2004
Arrived 05/07/2013
Age at arrival: 9 years
Joline crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 11, 2017.
This sweetie was an oldster and a calico Persian. Her fur was so completely matted we had to shave it off, all in one piece. Such a sad thing. Joline had something special—she had very curly fur on her tummy! We promised her to always keep her coat in good condition. She also arrived with severe dental problems which were taken care of. What a love she was! She could go wherever she wanted whether it was in the Main Area, Mail Room, Thumper’s Room–anywhere! Her wish was our command! Joline had very beginning stages of kidney problems when she arrived. Because of that and her age, we elected to keep her here as a resident.
Jonah
Jonah
Est. DOB 07/15/1999
Arrived 08/23/1999
Age at arrival: 6 weeks
Jonah crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 23, 2014.
Jonah arrived at FFRC when he was just 6 weeks old. He was found alongside a busy road, with a very severe fracture of his front leg. This injury required a leg amputation. This didn’t bother Jonah at all–he was super fast! He had the honor of being known as the very first Covie, along with his buddy Blossom. Jonah was just plain awesome–a great cat! He was so loved.
Jones
Jones
Est. DOB 05/26/2015
Arrived 06/14/2016
Age at arrival: 1 year
Jones crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 10, 2019.
Is there anything “mushier” than Jones? I think not. He lived to be loved and to give love. Just holding him filled a person with peace. He arrived here at 1 year of age. Our vets were undecided what was “different” about Jones–he appeared to have neurological problems. This showed in his walk and “attitude.” Regardless, we loved him to pieces and needed him here to give us the hugs that we all needed. Jones unexpectedly passed away and is missed every day.
Joyful
Joyful
Est. DOB 04/09/2002
Arrived 12/29/2012
Age at arrival: 10 years 8 months
Joyful crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 12, 2018.
Joyful came as a very sad and frightened white Persian. She had been neglected and abused by her owner. It took many months for us to be able to pet and love on her. Everything was done with Joyful’s permission and not rushed. She learned to have joy within herself! We loved her and because of her shaky background and loss of self confidence, we made her a permanent resident, where we knew we could provide her with lots of love, Joyful style!
Kiara
Kiara
Est. DOB 06/05/2007
Arrived 07/24/2007
Age at arrival: 7 weeks
Kiara crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 25, 2023.
Kiara arrived at FFRC as a scared young kitten. She gradually overcame her fears and was ready for adoption, or so we thought. Three times since her arrival a family had come in and fallen in love with Kiara. Three times she was been chosen. Three times she went to a fur-ever home. Three times she came back to the home where she felt safe. Each time, she was returned because her new family just could not bear to hear the pain in her cries. Kiara would hide away in fear and wail non-stop. She was returned out of love and each time when she returned home to her safe place, Jacci would open the carrier and out Kiara would stroll, eat a bit then jump up on the dryer and take a nap. The last time she was adopted, she lost almost 2 pounds, having eaten almost nothing. Once back to her safe place, her appetite quickly returned. Kiara then stayed in her safe place at FFRC for good.
LaDonna
LaDonna
Est. DOB 09/15/2007
Arrived 09/2008
Age at arrival: 1 year
LaDonna crossed the Rainbow Bridge on July 6, 2015.
LaDonna was found by a past volunteer and brought to FFRC. She had probably never lived indoors and was not happy about being inside. So…..she became a Covie. She was so sweet and got along with everyone. No doubt her best friend was LeLe, who also was a torti.
LeLe
LeLe
Est. DOB 09/15/2004
Arrived Summer 2005
Age at arrival: 1 year
LeLe crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 28, 2017.
LeLe–she had a racing start here at FFRC–after all, she was rescued from a horse track by one of our vets. Fearing she would be stepped on by a horse, she arrived at FFRC and became a Covie. Always a sweetie, always loving attention–she fit right in. Her life was so kind–she loved all the Covies and the visitors. And her special snackers that were given to her often! LeLe was one of those special peaceful cats.
Leonard
Leonard
Est. DOB 10/11/2012
Arrived 11/16/2013
Age at arrival: 1 year
Leonard crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 29, 2017.
Leonard was originally a Covie boy but he is the only cat that figured out how to escape–he simply scaled a 17 foot building to the freedom of the farmyard. Leonard had a wandering heart–he considered himself a Farm Cat, a Covie, a Porchie and a Firecat–all in one. That way, he could do and be whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted to. He had a roaming desire to check out the entire area, including across the road, along the riverbank. This was a place he totally loved and enjoyed. Unfortunately, one day, he was hit by a car. He was loved so much. We knew the dangers of his life style but the bottom line–he lived fully as the cat he wanted to be.
Magenta
Magenta
Est. DOB 03/08/1997
Arrived 02/20/2003
Age at arrival: 5 years
Magenta crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 27, 2014.
Magenta got her name from the color she was when she arrived here. We aren’t sure how she got painted, but even after multiple baths, it still took months to wear off. She had been adopted twice. The first home lasted for several years; but both times she went to elderly adopters and was returned when they passed away. She was a very special “oldster” to FFRC. Magenta certainly would let us know when she wanted anything or to have the sink drip for her. We would do anything for Magenta. She was a very sweet cat and was much loved.

Mew was truly one of those extra great ones—asked for nothing but kindness, snackers, and a big pet. He was everyone’s friend and so loved basking in the sun. When we would sit under the shelterhouse, Mew was there for handouts–and of course, we always would indulge him. He is greatly missed. A really awesome cat.
Minto with inky
Minto
Est. DOB 08/21/2013
Arrived 09/11/2013
Age at arrival: 4 weeks
Minto crossed the Rainbow Bridge on October 12, 2013.
Minto…this little orange baby just about broke all of our hearts. He came in all by himself. He was just such a sick little baby–just couldn’t seem to shake it. His immune system was poor. Yes, he broke our hearts but this little kitten also saved many many lives. Minto lost the battle to his illnesses. A necropsy was done. In doing so, we learned many things. Because of Minto, every incoming cat now receives a Bordatella vaccine. Each cat also receives meds for tapeworms now whether we see those nasty worms or not. We also learned which combination of antibiotics work for the germs that he had. We had a better battle plan for when kitties get sick. Minto…what a special kitten that gave this Rescue Center so very much.

Olaf crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 11, 2017.
Olaf arrived here as a youngster–was so thin. That didn’t last long though! He just appeared one day and immediately adopted us. Olaf was always a self-appointed guest greeter. His goal everyday was to sit on laps, soaking up all the attention he could get! He loved being doted on. Olaf always made us laugh by looking like a statue–sitting straight up and staring at us. That was his way of saying—time to sit down and hold me!

Paddy Purr crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 21, 2018.
Paddy Cakes crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 14,2018.
The Paddys arrived at the rescue center when they were just hours old. Their mama, Rosabella, arrived in the midst of a “lazy labor” delivery and an emergency c-section was performed. Due to Rosabella’s milk drying up after just 4 days, Paddy Cakes and Paddy Purr were hand fed for the next 6 weeks. There were several times when it was feared they would not survive, but thanks to the love and dedication of all the volunteers, they made it. When they were finally ready to be adopted, something wonderful happened. One of our web-cam viewers from Bermuda, knowing how attached both the rescue center volunteers and the cam viewers were, donated the adoption fee for the Paddys so that they could stay where they were dearly loved. The Paddy brothers passed away within 2 months of each other, both from cardiomyopathy.

Arrived 07/22/2002
Age at arrival: 10 years
Patience crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2008.Patience—what a wonderful soul she had. This sweet cat was turned into a shelter–just dropped off. Her crime? Because she was old and had fleas. We took her in and found her to be a beautiful girl. She was 10 years old, declawed, and her few fleas were soon gone. Unfortunately, she turned up missing a couple days after arrival. We literally turned FFRC upside down looking for her. After 17 days, she was found, still alive in an impossible place. She was promptly named Patience because she waited so long for us to find her. She was tube fed and slowly she recovered from this ordeal. She was with us for 6 years. She loved everyone and thoroughly enjoyed taking care of the kittens. We were honored to have had her.
Paul with Wilson
Paul Marowelli
10/24/1966 — 10/04/2013
Paul…what a friend he was to FFRC. Paul was one of those lifetime friends. Unfortunately, he passed away way too soon. For many years, Paul worked the farmyard and did many things for the Rescue Center. He was a handyman and could fix many different kinds of things. Paul so loved the cats and the farm animals. He also became a part of my family. He was very important to my mom and dad too. Paul shared his friendship with everyone. He was a tease and great at practical jokes. He could sometimes be found with a kitten in his shirt, napping with the cats curled around him or hanging out with the horses. He was just a really great guy.

He arrived with the name of Bruno but he was a real grandpa to many of the kittens here. He so enjoyed being a paw-paw that the term became his name!

Putter—an extra special cat that was loved by many. Putter was in poor condition when he arrived at the rescue center. He was found on a golf course, his fur was so matted and tangled that he could hardly walk, which surely contributed to his emaciation and dehydration. His fur grew back beautifully but he still had problems with arthritis in his back legs. He loved to be petted and held, despite his grumpy appearance! He was also known as Sheriff Putter. He discovered the Moss house and decided he wanted to live inside as a housecat. He was very welcomed! He would still come out to say hello to the viewers and to keep the youngsters in line.

Rolland was such a lovey boy and so sweet and ornery! He was one of the “rulers” of the Cove. His name was originally Rolland, but we would also write Rowland, too, because when he would roll on the ground it would look like he was rowing! In 2005, before we had our Covie playground and THTJB, he was loose on the property. He was hit by a car, right in the parking lot and had to have a button surgery to correct his lip droopage. He also fractured his pelvis at that time. But, he healed quickly and resumed his place as one of the Covie bosses. Rowland was everyone’s friend and would greet all the visitors and love being in a lap. We sure loved this boy.

A beautiful torti oldster! Sea Turtle was turned in at a humane shelter where they did not do long-term cats. We were called and asked if we could take her. What a big sweetie. She claimed the front Thumper’s Room and the Mail Room as hers. She pretty much went where she wanted and when she wanted! We opened doors all the time for her so she was a happy cat! She loved nacho chips, cheese balls and pizza and was always given these goodies. She will be missed especially in PawMart where she chose to live. She was the queen there.

We flew back to FFRC with the 3 of them. Thomas was a victim of neglect, such a sad thing. He also was a severe seizure cat that had been unattended to for some time.

Age at arrival: 6 weeks
Trucker crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 23, 2017.
Trucker a.k.a. Trucker Ducker Doodle Boy! This was a very sweet cat. He arrived here when he was just 6 weeks old. Someone found him and realized he could not keep up with his mama and siblings due to rear leg deformities. His rear legs were stiff and straight with them being mostly up by his ears. Those legs were a nuisance to him–always in the way. They were removed and then he was super fast! I do believe he had a charge button that is jet-fast! He also had IBS which was something we constantly worked on. He was a happy boy and loved people.
Trucker was one of those extra special cats to so many of us. He was magical in his love for everyone and everything. He truly cherished life and all the people he met. His special buddy was Magic—who was his constant companion. Trucker will be missed forever and remembered with much love.

Vernon was a silvery grey tiger boy that stole our hearts. He was a moderate CH cat. He was found on a country road all by himself–no place for a CH cat to be. He quickly wobbled his way into our hearts. Vernon was a busy boy and had it figured out how to get around just fine. He loved to chase the laser light and climb up on the Kuranda Towers. He was very affectionate and loved to be cuddled like a baby in your arms. One of his favorite treats was chicken (Derecho taught him that!).

Zelda was not really a resident, as she actually was an owned cat! She belonged to Jacci! Her real name is Zelda Belda Girl Moss. She arrived here when she was just a year old, with terrible sores on both sides of her hips. She had been stuck between two walls and crying for someone to help her. She soon healed but has a noticeable limp on both front legs from her ordeal. Jacci and Zelda had a wonderful bond and so she became a Moss! Zelda was also associated with BOXES, as she always helps with our box openings.
