Meet Dove 🕊️
Mama of the “Baby Birds” litter at Friends of Rescue!

Dove’s story began when a kind Samaritan in Athens noticed she was pregnant and needed a safe place. She was brought into rescue just in time — and has been an absolute joy ever since.

True to her name, Dove is a very talkative girl, constantly cooing and chirping like a little bird. She has stunning green eyes, a gentle nature, and is incredibly affectionate — she even loves belly rubs!

Dove is easygoing and gets along wonderfully with everyone, including cats, dogs, and kids. She has also been the most attentive, devoted mother to her kittens, raising Budgie, Sparrow, and Pigeon with patience and care.

She currently still has three kittens available — Budgie (boy), Sparrow (boy), and Pigeon (girl) — and would love to be adopted with one (or more) of her mini-me babies if possible.

✨ Dove’s Adoption Info:
• Young adult female
• Fostered in Huntsville, AL
• Great with kids, cats, and dogs
• Affectionate, social, and easygoing
• Adoption fee includes spay, vaccinations, and microchip

Now that her kittens are growing up, Dove is ready for a forever home of her own — where she can finally be the one getting all the love. 🕊️

Meet Katie 💕

How adorable is this sweet girl?! Katie is a 6-month-old possible Border Collie mix with puppy energy, a gentle soul, and a playful personality that keeps life fun. At around 25 pounds, she’s the perfect size for adventures, couch cuddles, and keeping a watchful eye on her people. 🐶

Katie may have had a rough start—she was found tied to a tree in a busy area—but you’d never know it by her loving nature. She can be a little timid when meeting new people, but once she feels safe, she becomes a total love bug who wants all the pets and attention you can give.

This smart girl is already doing great:
✔️ Loves chew toys
✔️ Gets along well with other dogs & cats
✔️ Crate training superstar in the making
✔️ Smart and eager to learn
✔️ Self-proclaimed “cat herding specialist” 😄

Katie is looking for a patient, loving home that will help her continue building confidence and show her the life she deserves. In return, she’ll give you endless love, loyalty, and plenty of puppy fun.

If you’re ready to give Katie her happily ever after, we’d love for you to apply!

Meet Snowball ❄️ — A Quiet Soul Looking for Peace & Love

Snowball is a beautiful, all white boy with a calm and gentle spirit. He is deaf, which means the world can feel a little big and uncertain at times—but with the right home, he truly blossoms. 💙

Snowball is looking for a calm, peaceful environment where he can relax, feel safe, and just be himself. Once he knows he’s secure, he enjoys lounging, observing, and soaking in the comfort around him.

He does well with other cats, especially ones who are gentle and respectful, and would thrive in a home that understands his need for a peaceful lifestyle.

✨ Why Snowball is special:
• Deaf, but full of love
• Calm, gentle, and low-key
• Does well with other cats
• Thrives in a peaceful, stable environment
• Just wants to feel safe and loved

Snowball doesn’t need much—just patience, understanding, and a cozy place to call home. In return, you’ll give a very deserving kitty the safe, loving life he’s been waiting for. ❄️
