Juliet's Story -- Saturday March 13th, 2021
"My name is Lauren and I am a FRA foster/foster failure. Some of you may remember me from taking Molly, the cancer feral kitty in. Since losing Molly, I have not had a foster, my heart needed time to heal. That was until I saw sweet Juliet. Juliet was found on the streets in Baltimore, cold, alone and scared. She literally walked up to her rescuer and asked to be saved. Clearly she was not a feral kitty, her owners didn’t want her and let her go to be a street cat. This poor girl was flea infested and only had 4 (rotting) teeth left in her mouth.
With generous donations and help from
Show Your Soft Side
, we were able to get
her in for a dental to remove her teeth and the infection
. During her recovery time
, I t
ru
ly fell
more in love with her. To the
poin
t where I knew I wouldn’t be able to let
her go, therefore, I foster failed, again...
I mean, who wouldn’t fall in love with a sweet street kitty with no teeth and a tongue that hangs out on the side. My sister and I call her a “blep” or a “derp”, all in good fun!! I have 2 other cats that start with the letter J, and it only seemed like it was meant to be! Or that FRA planned it (kidding!). Juliet is the sweetest most loving cat and deserves to live a life of being a pampered house cat. She is happy, healthy and thriving in my home! We are working on socializing her with the other kitties and dogs, but taking our time because she’s been through so much trauma and don’t want to stress her out. She is my little sassy little girl and I’m forever grateful to have the opportunity to be her mama!! Thank you FRA!"

The Adventures of Otitis -- Wednesday May 13th, 2020
Many of our supporters/followers are new to FRA but you Ladies and Gents that have been following us for a while may remember 9 year old Otitis whose former owners surrendered him a little over 3 years ago after the cysts in his ears and the removal of his hearing organs made him deaf.
Otitis is the sweetest boy on earth and that is no lie! 3 years ago Molly Lichtenwalner who suffers from anxiety disorder saw Otitis and she immediately knew they were meant for each other and this sweet boy could not have asked for a better forever! Not only did Molly save Otitis but he saved her as well.
Otitis has his own children's book and a portion of the proceeds are donated to FRA in his honor!
