Furrever Friends Rescue and Volunteers, Inc.

In the early morning hours of Feb. 27, Furrever Friends volunteers came across a lost pug while working to rescue a stray kitten. The little dog, severely underweight and very hungry, got itself caught in one of the team’s humane traps. One of the volunteers recalled seeing notices for “Sasha,” a lost pug in the area, posted on the online bulletin board Craigslist. Sure enough, when comparing the photos posted with the pug they had caught, the team realized it had a match!

The next morning, Sasha and her owners had an emotional family reunion at Delaware Valley Veterinary Hospital in Mullica Hill, NJ. Sasha had been missing since December 1, 2009… meaning that in addition to surviving traffic, bitter-cold temperatures, a lack of food and assorted other hazards, Sasha held on through three record-breaking blizzards during the harshest winter in the region’s history. Sasha’s fighting spirit helped her make it home… with a little help from Furrever Friends.

Rescued Pug

Last summer, FFRV volunteers found five friendly house cats abandoned by a small patch of bushes and poison oak behind a local strip mall. Despite risks such as a curious skunk, a black widow spider, rats and poison oak exposure, the volunteers rescued all five. Read more…

This January, a compassionate cat-lover adopted three of the five cats… one of whom is visually impaired. Thanks to her, they will now have the safe, loving “forever” home they deserve (she reports that all three are doing very well). And thanks to our rescue and foster volunteers, none of these five cats will ever again be in such a miserable, life-threatening situation; among other things, they were spared exposure to this winter’s record cold and snow! This is exactly the type of happy ending FFRV seeks for all the cats it rescues.

An 9-month-old orange male cat that was adopted to a home in Wenonah, NJ in July 2009 has reportedly run away. The cat was last seen in the LaSalle Ave. vicinity of Wenonah; if you see a cat fitting this description in this area, please contact us at 856-845-8554, box #8, or email us at ffrvapps@comcast.net. A reward of $250 will be paid to the party who helps us in successfully recovering our rescue cat.

Our Southern NJ Rescue Community has lost a dedicated volunteer and friend. Please take a moment to say a prayer and remember Doug Sartor, who passed away on Oct. 24, 2009.
