✨ Meet Sparkles! ✨

At 6 years old, Sparkles is really blossoming at the office, and we couldn’t be happier to see her personality shine! Sparkles came to MRFRS after her previous owner could no longer care for her, and now she’s ready for a fresh start with a family of her own.

She deserves a loving home where she can continue to grow in confidence, feel safe, and enjoy all the comforts of being someone’s cherished companion. Help Sparkles find the happy ending she deserves! Visit our website to learn more about our adoptable cats and fill out an application today: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/MER/Cat

🐾 TWO CATS. TWO FOSTER HOMES NEEDED. ONE VERY URGENT PLEA. ❤️

Apply here: https://www.volgistics.com/appform/2020648272

They didn't choose their diagnosis. But we're hoping someone will choose them.

We have TWO wonderful cats who have tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), and they urgently need foster homes.

💙 FeLV doesn't mean they can't love.
💙 It doesn't mean they can't play, purr, or snuggle.
💙 And it certainly doesn't mean they don't deserve a home.

What they need is someone willing to look beyond a diagnosis and see the cat waiting underneath.

Have a spare bedroom? No other cats? You might be exactly who we're looking for!

FeLV is not contagious to humans or dogs. Our team can help you understand their needs and what fostering involves. You don't have to be an expert. You just have to be willing to open your heart and your home.

🚨 We need foster or adoptive homes ASAP.
Please message us if you can help Benny & Mr. Wonderful, and SHARE this post. Their perfect foster families might be just one share away. ❤️🐾

A few months ago, Zara found her forever home after being adopted from MRFRS and we’re so happy to hear how wonderfully she’s settling in!

Zara has quickly become part of the family, thanks in part to her feline brothers, Thunder and Bean, who have helped her feel comfortable in her new home. She loves to play, shower her family with affection, and, of course, enjoy her daily Churu!

Her favorite place to relax is the sunroom, where she can soak up the sunshine while keeping an eye on the birds, bunnies, and chipmunks outside.

Her family says, “She fits right in with our family. We are so happy she is part of our family now.”

We couldn’t be happier for Zara and her family! Welcome home, Zara!

Picture this: you've had a long day at work. You've talked to too many people and now you've come home, wanting some peace, a slower pace, and comfy pants.

Kittens are cute, but they want to eat your toes. A teenager is going to yell at you about their food being two minutes late. But a sophisticated 13 year-old-lady with FOUR names? Macy Louise McGillicutty Mittens is going to be exactly what you need.

Some chatter, some cuddles, some personal space: she's got it all. Macy is respectable and looking for a fresh start after a tough divorce. All she needs is a sunny spot, a couple of cozy blankets, and someone to share the quiet life with. Sound familiar?

Come meet your new best friend, Macy, at the shelter today between 10am-4pm or fill out an adoption application here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/MER/Cat
