From FuRRR Feline Rescue, Rehabilitation & Retirement

FuRRR Feline Rescue is a nonprofit, no kill, volunteer driven organization in New Hampshire incorporated in 2015. We specialize in the elderly, special needs and at risk of euthanasia kittens and cats from high kill southern shelters via our southern rescue partners. We often take cats that are in need of extensive medical care that may otherwise not get the necessary treatment. Our rehabilitation services include emergency medical care, medicine for chronic conditions and emotional care for traumatized cats. FuRRR helps our community working with local trappers, taking strays from the streets helping put an end to unwanted animals, as well as taking pets surrendered by their owners for many reasons.
