Cats we have loved and that will be missed…
 Ada Jane Ada JaneEst. DOB 02/10/1995 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 AlbertEst. DOB 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 MaryDOB 04/16/2016 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 AshaEst. DOB 03/01/2010 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 AugustDOB 07/04/2013 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 AzarDOB 05/11/2011 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 BellaDOB 09/01/2002 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 AlEst. DOB 05/20/2005 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 BondiEst. DOB 05/01/1998 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 BravoEst. DOB May 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 CaesarEst. DOB 04/03/2008 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 CamvieEst. DOB 05/17/2013 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 MossEst. DOB 06/07/2020 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 CharlieEst. DOB March 2008 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 CoralieEst. DOB 06/12/2012 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! |
 Cozarelii CozareliiEst. DOB 04/07/2011 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 CutieEst. DOB 07/2/2006 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 DodgerEst. DOB unknown 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 EmalineEst. DOB 09/16/2009 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 FabioEst. DOB 10/15/2007 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 FarrahEst. DOB 05/16/2009 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 FroggyEst. DOB 05/05/2015 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 GiovannaEst. DOB 12/2/???? 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 HankEst. DOB 08/15/2001 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 HeavenEst. DOB about 1998 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 HensleyEst. DOB 08/24/2014 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 HoneyEst. DOB 09/15/2003 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. |
 Jack JackEst. DOB 03/09/1992 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. |
 Janie with Derecho Janie MossEst. DOB 09/15/2007 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 JessieEst. DOB 04/22/1999 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 JolineEst. DOB 05/06/2004 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 JonahEst. DOB 07/15/1999 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 JonesEst. DOB 05/26/2015 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 JoyfulEst. DOB 04/09/2002 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! |
 LaDonna LaDonnaEst. DOB 09/15/2007 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 LeLeEst. DOB 09/15/2004 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 LeonardEst. DOB 10/11/2012 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 MagentaEst. DOB 03/08/1997 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 MewEst. DOB 04/10/2002 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 MintoEst. DOB 08/21/2013 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 OlafEst. DOB 07/15/2006 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 Cakes and Paddy PurrDOB 07/31/2010 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. |
 Patience with kitten PatienceEst. DOB 1992 |
 Paul with Wilson Paul Marowelli10/24/1966 — 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. |
 Paw Paw a.ka. Bruno Paw PawEst. DOB 04/09/2007 Paw Paw came to us after he was no longer needed at the cattery where he lived his life. He arrived at age 11 1/2 years. 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! He was happy and his fur did fully grown out to become a lovely white Persian boy! Because of his age and a significant heart murmur he became a Resident. |
 Putter PutterEst. DOB 06/07/1997 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. |
 Quinn QuinnEst. DOB 07/28/2016 Quinn–a special little boy with neurological problems. He was only 5 weeks old when he arrived at FFRC and was only with us for two weeks. But…..those two weeks he was shown a lifetime of love and he so enjoyed it. Quinn was our little gold/white boy that was affectionately called The Mighty Quinn. He indeed had a mighty heart to receive and give love. Sometimes these lives are so short but they always renew that ability to give love. |
 Riley RileyEst. DOB 06/15/2007 Riley arrived with a torn ear. He was 2 years old when he arrived. He was found by a volunteer, hanging out at a trailer park with no caretaker. Such an awesome cat–very friendly, enjoyed the other cats, loved to be petted. He always enjoyed his cruise-abouts on the farmyard. |
 Rolland a.k.a. Rowland Rolland a.k.a. RowlandEst. DOB 05/11/2003 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. |
 Rory RoryEst. DOB 05/15/2011 Rory arrived when he was just 9 months old. A handsome brown tiger ASH, he was trapped behind the police station by a couple of volunteers. He was initially shy, but quickly came to trust us and loved to have is tummy rubbed!! He was used to being an outside cat, so he was happy to join the Covies. Rory loved to greet visitors and so loved being on a lap. He sure is missed. |
 Sea Turtle Sea TurtleEst. DOB 03/18/1997 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. |
 Sevaun SevaunEst. DOB 01/15/12003 Sevaun came to us from Dr. P’s office. She was 1 year old. She loved her Covie life and had us all wrapped around that tail of hers. What a talker she was. A cat that was everyone’s friend. And oh those belly rubs were so special to her. She is greatly missed. |
 Soy Boy Soy BoyEst. DOB 07/15/2007 This sweet boy arrived when he was 1 year old. Soy Boy was found in a soybean field by a volunteer, so hungry and thin. He arrived with a gentleness that just melted us. He was always a friend to all people and the other Covies. He became a Covie right away and had so much fun with the other cats. He was known as a “meeter/greeter” of the Covies. In recent years, his health started failing, but he always rallied back to us until just recently. Soy Boy will always be remembered for his kindness to all. |
 Sylvan SylvanEst. DOB 08/15/2007 Sylvan was found by a friend of FFRC’s. She lived with a woods around her. He approached her from those woods. His name means “From the woods.” Sylvan was always a gentle boy. He loved people and the other Covies. Such an awesome cat. I am so happy that he was here. |
 Thomas ThomasEst. DOB 08/26/2009 Thomas was 4.5 years old when he arrived. Thomas was a loverbug–he loved us and we loved him. He was a “jetster,” meaning we flew to Staten Island, NY, to get him, Joey, and KittyKat. 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. We only had him for a year, but he was so loved. He was a door greeter, a chirper, a hugger. |
 Timothy TimothyEst. DOB 07/15/2007 Timothy was found by a friend of FFRC’s at 1 year of age. He was a Covie friend for 11 years here at FFRC. Always sweet, always friendly, and enjoyed meeting and greeting people that visited the Covies. He especially enjoyed the jungle gym inside their playground. A really sweet boy. |
 Trucker TruckerEst. DOB 05/28/2014 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. |
 Twinkle TwinkleEst. DOB 07/15/1997 Twinkle arrived emaciated, dehydrated, and covered with hundreds of fleas. Even though she had very minimal eyesight, she was quite adept at getting around and had every section of the rescue center figured out. She was such a sweetie, loved to be petted and enjoyed her cushie beds. Twinkle had the prettiest green eyes. |
 Vernon VernonEst. DOB 06/14/2014 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 Moss
Zelda Mossest DOB 07/15/2010 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. |
