Absolute Goofball

We've had Oskar (Grits) for a little over a year now! I can't believe how he's grown.

From a nervous little 35 pound fella to a 70 pound absolute goofball, we're so proud of how far he's come! 🥰 Thank you For saving him from North Carolina!

I'm furever grateful

I adopted Licorice in July 23, and then Tony in Aug 23.

Dotti, you and Sarah really went out of your way, above and beyond to help and guide me through a challenging first few weeks with my sweet little panthers, and I'm furever grateful 🙏.

Faithful Dog

We adopted Waffles end of December and already he has become the most faithful dog.

I have been in bed with bronchitis for 2 weeks and he has not left my side. He’s come so far. Gained a little weight, 2 doggie spa trips, and outings in the car with mom, and lots of wrestling with his Australian Shepherd brother. He’s adapted so quickly!

Little Rastafarian

This is my “brother” Tory Tornado! Also know as Tory tot, tottles, tottykins, tottyboy! Two years ago (in September 2021) a tornado devastated this entire area.

I was online when I saw the rescue needed fosters due to being affected by said tornado. I went and met Tory, then know as Mr. big, who just looked like a worn down little Rastafarian (his dread locks were no joke!)… I fostered him for two weeks before my parents completely fell in love. You see, my mom was also affected by the tornado. She was inside a school building as it was directly hit. Her trauma led to her finding comfort in Tory tot, and not to mention my dads wanted another dog for years!!

They fell head over heels for him, and named him Tory after the tornado but also for his extremely “upbeat” (putting it nicely 😂) personality. They adopted him, he quickly became my dads favorite child, and it’s been a sibling love hate relationship for me ever since. 😂❤️below are his before and after photos!!

Volunteering for about Two Years now

I have been volunteering with Furever Yours for about two years now, and I have fallen in love with all of the cats.

I love being able to help people find the cat that belongs in their own family, and helping with the adoptions is very rewarding. In November of 2022, we got a cat named Phillie at the Petsmart in Willow Grove, and he captured my heart immediately. I knew he was supposed to be with us, so my fiance and I adopted him. At home, our senior cat, Lucky, wasn't sure about him at first, but eventually Reggie (that was what we renamed him) won her over.

Sadly, Lucky passed away in May of 2023, and after a few months, we decided to open our hearts once again. We got a litter of kittens at the store, and we brought home Cabbage, the kitten that purred as soon as we pet him, and renamed him Vinny. He and Reggie were friends immediately, and we adore them both. Reggie is the best big brother, and Vinny is a ball of love and energy. Furever Yours is a wonderful organization, and without them, we wouldn't have our two favorite little guys.

My Soul Dog

We adopted Luna from Furever Yours back in 2019- it’ll be 4 years this November.

We believe she was about 5 or 6 years old when we got her, and is husky/shepherd mix (She’s a howler😂). She is the dog that I never knew I needed aka my soul dog. She is my shadow and is soooo attached to me, but I wouldn’t change it for the world! I noticed that she had two lumps on her belly that we had removed because they were on her mammary chain. All I can say is thank God that we did! They unfortunately ended up being malignant. We were devastated, but we followed up with an oncologist and thankfully our vet took wide enough margins and the cancer didn’t spread🙏🏼 Since then, she has had another small lump removed also on her belly; however, that one was benign. We continue to have our vet do multiple checks a year just to ensure we don’t miss anything. I truly believe that we saved her life by adopting her through Furever Yours.

If we didn’t, who knows if her previous owners would’ve taken her to get checked, and then she may not be here today. Although our other dog Winston is very independent, he and Luna are the best of friends. They get along great and she is the biggest protector of him. They are great companions. He is definitely the annoying brother she probably never wanted, but they are so funny to watch when you they play. My husband and I always joke that Luna gets “fomo,” because she needs to be involved in everything that we do. She is always afraid that she’s missing out on something. We’re so grateful for Furever Yours for bringing Luna bear into our lives! She truly is the most loving, gentle giant and completed our family.

She's our Angel Baby Floof!

We adopted Nilla who was formerly known as “Cha Cha” at the rescue in the midst of her healing from a rough go at it on the streets of Philly!

In our eyes she was perfect the day we got her, but looking back now it’s remarkable how much can change in 2 years with patience, care, and love! She brightens our day with her smile, personality, and snuggles. SHE’S OUR ANGEL BABY FLOOF
