featured fur monsters

This week, Sylviag tells us the story of how her and her husband were looking for a volunteer opportunity and ended up rebuilding the CRAFT no-kill animal shelter from the bottom up.

"One day in June, 2012, a small eleven-week-old tabby and white kitten was brought into the animal hospital that Harmony House (the rescue I volunteer for) uses. He had his guts hanging out."

"We have one boy Miracle. He's a Maine Coon mix and is 8 years young now."

"This is the tale-or tail, as the felines might term it—of ten kittehs that this human has been fortunate enough to live with."

This week Jadzia23 shares the story of her little dude, Ted. He has a personal stylist in her pup Coco and a penchant for window blinds. Stay classy Ted.

"It gives me great pleasure to introduce Lilli, my Fur Monster, to the world."

Ani.s4 says "this kitty came into my life when a couple of co-workers rescued two kittens from a dumpster, taking a kitten home, each. Don't have any information about the male kitten, but the female was taken in by an acquaintance and added to her menagerie of big dogs, little dogs, and cats, cats, and cats."

They say love finds you when you are not looking and that was certainly true when Spencer came into my life.

"We always say we play no favorites with our animal companions, but Squee Willie has a special place in our hearts."

The only way that Frankencat is a monster is maybe of the cuddle variety. This special little dude's story comes to us from Bernadette Kazmarski's post on The Creative Cat and Heather Long. Franken's tale is an award winning story that is a testament to the incredible will that animals have to overcome the odds and retain the ability to offer completely unconditional love.

Try not to tear up, I dare you.

This week's FFM story comes to us from the one and only bgcmeowrrrr!
