I lost my boy Sirius today to cancer. He passed away at Ark Animal Hospital at 2:22 pm today. He's with his buddy Elvis now as well as some of the other OG's that have passed before him. I don't know how old he was...probably 16 at least.

One fateful day, July 2014 - he picked me out at GCAC and won me over with his talking and reaching for me from his cage. I was there searching for another cat I was supposed to pull for another rescue that day over 11 years ago. He was so personable and super friendly. He pretty much begged me to take him home! I started to pet him and talk to him - and an inmate doing community service approached me, teary eyed and said "Can you please adopt him? I am so worried about him. He's one of my favorites here. He's been here a long time and I keep begging them to spare him - but they are about to clean cages - and I know his time is running out." (I knew what cleaning cages really meant.) I looked at the paperwork on his cage. He had been there for 6 weeks. He was brought in as a "feral" to be PTS - but the staff noticed that he was very loving and friendly - so they put him on the adoption floor.

I decided to take him home and the man was so elated. He was pulled with Elvis as well as Pixie, Trixie and Sugar in July of 2014.

The pictures do not do him justice. He was a super gorgeous black cat, probably with some spinx or siamese in him, with striking emerald green eyes. He was a huge talker and so gentle and loving. Even the vet that helped him cross today mentioned his beautiful deep green eyes.

I always tried to get a good photo of him - but he was hard to photograph as he followed me all over the place everytime I had the camera. These are two very rare shots I was able to find of him. The one with Elvis was the day he got here in 2014 (7/17/14) - and the other was of him from 2016. I have tried to take pictures of him these last couple of days to see if I could capture a picture of his gorgeous green eyes - but there was always a white cloud that was showing up on the lens. It never showed up on any other animal I pointed it to...only him. (Now I am thinking it was an angel, perhaps.)

Every cat here that passes is hard - but something about the OG's is very difficult for me. They have been here from the get go. They were the ones who began this place. They were the first to play in the buildings...the first to experience all the changes and all that was created...and they had a load of fun. The hardest pill to swallow is not just the loss of my long time furkids - but the fact that my full vision could not be finished before their time was up here. I feel this is a bit of the reason why the loss of my OG's really stings

Meanwhile, I do know I did the right thing today. I woke up to him crying and in excruitiating pain due to cancer in his colon. I knew his time had come.

When I arrived at the vet today, he began purring...and talking to me to say goodbye. I feel he knew he was going to be pain free soon. I've never had a cat thank me and be so grateful for every day he was here like he was. I really do believe he knew that he had 11 more years then he ever would have had the day I took him home.

I used to always say to him "Are you Sirius?? Yes - You Definitely Are! I love you!" I held him as he passed over to a new, renewed life and told that to him as he left this earth.

I will forever love and miss you Sirius. Give everyone a head butt for me...and I know in my heart that I will see you again one day.

RIP my gorgeous, mini black panther -

My poor gorgeous Daisy...her time has come. It is hard to believe that this was only a little over two years ago. She has an aggressive cancer of the mouth that has exploded in just the last week. Her brother, Tux, is who I lost to mouth cancer last April...but his didn't seem near as aggressive as hers. He was a few days shy of turning 11 when he passed on his own. She's only about 12.5 years old right now. I remember days when cats easily lived to 15 to 18. Things have definitely changed over the course of time.
This aggressive cancer has spread upwards to her eyes, leaving her blind in one eye and now is eating the bones around her mouth. I'm going to have at home euthanasia for her. (I have a few here that have cancer right now...so this is the first one of probably 3 others that won't be far behind her...probably all before Christmas would be my guess.) It's not going to be an easy couple of months coming...and will most likey be choosing at home euthanasia for all of them versus stressing them out with a car ride.
Daisy was born here on the farm in April 2013. Daisy was my little shadow for years in the home office. She would sit by the door waiting to go into the office every morning, ready to sit on my lap for the entire day, purring away and chopping at my arm like it was a cob of corn. (Didn't hurt...she basically would act like she was biting but was just doing num, num, num all up and down my arm. I've never known a cat to do this...but it was her way of giving me love bites.)
Somewhere I have an amusing video of her waiting to go into the office. I also can't find my all time favorite picture of her where she's sitting in one of my flower pots. It's hard to lose this crew...the OG's of the farm here...bottle babies all born here by Dolly - the feral that was here when I bought the farm in 2013. These are the ones that really began it all. She will be joining Dolly her mom and Tux her full brother who have both passed before her. I haven't made the appointment yet...I'm dreading the heartache and pain. This is going to take everything I have in me to go through this.
It's just all too much to bare here sometimes. There is a lot of joy and happiness in what I have built here, but then there is so much heartache to deal with as well at times.
All of the passings are tough...but Dolly's OG's...because I bottle fed them and they were here from the beginning before all the fencing, before all the buildings, before any of this - it is definitely very tough on me.
"Daisy Mazy, the amazing Daisy...she's got amazing beauty and amazing grace, she's simply amazing. My Amazing Daisy. I love you girl." This was always what I said to her every day...and will be saying to her as she moves into her next life, pain free and stunningly beautiful as always. I will never forget whenever I would say this to her, she'd suddenly get pep in her step, strut off with swag in her step, swishing her tail from side to side, knowing full well that she was the OG Princess of the Farm and always will be. It's how I want to remember her until we meet again.

IMPORTANT: WE ARE FULL

I do not check this message box regularily as I'm rarely using Facebook at all anymore. Let this be for the record - I am BEYOND full. I have about 8 cats that have come down with stomatitis...and it's going to cost a boatload to get them back to a normal state. I ask that you DO NOT send messages to this box. It is rarely checked. If you have a cat or kitten that you need help with or are forced to rehome (or looking for a temporary housing for your kitty), try the local Facebook group "Friends of Spartanburg Animals" and see if anyone on that group can help you or point you in a good direction. I'm not even taking on long term fosters at the moment either.

With this costly setback - FOOD DONATIONS ARE NEEDED (Friskies, Fancy Feast, Churros, Bisques (the ones with stomatitis seem to keep weight on better and do better overall on the Bisques mixed with fancy feast pate and some luke warm water)) All of that would be greatly appreciated as like I said, the stomatitis going around this place is unreal. (I've always heard that it's not contagious...but I beg to differ on that one.) Now I feed the groups separately - and try not to let them feed off of the plates of others that clearly do have it...and so far, no new cases.) It's not a guarantee, I know...because I really can't control sharing of water bowls. I don't have the funds to treat them all at once...so one by one, they have to go into the doctor. A couple of the are top priority. Some only seem to have a mild case of it that flares up once in a while.

I've looked into Mutian...hoping that would be an affordable option...but dang...it's more expensive than getting this treated by a professional local vet that I trust. The only benefit to that is no surgery...which I am considering for those that are too old to endure surgery or may have a heart murmur.

All of this adds to my morning and evening routines for caring for all of them...so not only is money a factor with probably $8,000 needed for stomotitis extractions/Mutian pills - time constraints are being felt too...so NO...I can not take on "just one more." I'm sorry. And if you think about trying to figure out where I live and just dumping them over my fence, as some of you have - realize that I do have cameras up EVERYWHERE now and you will be prosecuted.

I apologize if this post is sounds harsh...I don't mean to be rude...especially to those that have been there for me in the past and have donated etc. I just need to let people know because I got like a dozen messages in the last few weeks about taking on cats and kittens...people at the end of their ropes...all the while, offering no sponsorship or money to care for whatever they load onto me)...etc. I'm sorry. Even with a full, lifetime sponsorship - time wise with all these cats that need to be fed separately atm - and treating numerous stomatis cases, there's no way I can care for a single one more. I was called by God for this...but at the end of the day, I am human...and a human only has so much money, time and physical strength.

Our story

The Feline Furever Farm is a cat sanctuary currently providing a furever home to 1 perpetual puppy dog, a pond full of Koi, a resident barn possum and 40 full time rescued kitties including 2 long term fosters that need to live within a safe, fenced and free roaming environment. All the kitties here either have full time access to the house or barns and a secure place to reside on 7 fenced acres of land. Kitties that live here are able to happily live here furever!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: As of July 3, 2019 - the farm will no longer be accepting any more fosters or rescues ever again. I am going to focus more on donating to other kitty care givers and/or rescues that need funding including spay and neuter programs. All the kitties that are here now will live out their lives as happy and healthy as I can keep them. The kitties here are very much loved as if they are my own children...and they mean the world to me ... and if you could see them with me, you would know that I mean the world to them too. After the unexpected sudden tragedy on July 3, 2019 with Ginger Snap - I just can not risk anything happening to anyone that I have residing here.

Please do not message asking if I can take on “just one more” because I simply can not. If you have a kitty that needs rescue, I ask that you try to find another source to turn to. I am at maximum capacity. In addition - I am removing myself from foster and rescue. The only thing that I am going to do in the future is donate funds when I have been blessed with good times in the timber industry. The funds will be disbursed randomly to other caregivers and/or rescues in order to help them save lives. I am also going to resurrect The A.N.S.W.E.R Fund this year and officially obtain it’s 501c3 status. The A.N.S.W.E.R. Fund stands for Always Neuter & Spay With Everlasting Results. It will focus on offering free spay, neuters and FREE (INCLUDING FELV) shots to the local community. Ginger Snap will not have passed in vain...this is all in memory of her undetected terminal illness.

I do thank you for your support and fan-ship!!! The kitties GREATLY appreciate it as do I!
