Our Featured Pet...
These little guys came to us at 6 weeks old. They were found under a car in a parking lot. They had one of the most serious cases of Feline Herpes Virus in both eyes. We thought for sure that both or the red Tabby's eyes had ruptured and that one of the Torbie's had. Over several weeks and countless antibiotics and eye cleanings, their infections faded...
But both kittens have both their eyes! They have healed almost completely and are doing wonderful. They will stay with us for a few more weeks until the red Tabby is a little bigger and can get surgery to open his right eye that had begun to heal shut. In the meantime, we will continue to raise funds to cover the surgery and we will keep everyone posted on their progress.
6/17/08 Update: The kittens are about 3 1/2 months old now and doing very well. They are quite rambunctious and getting big. After recovering from a bought of upper respiratory they are finally getting ready for their surgery. We are trying desperately to raise the funds for the surgery, we have raised about $130 so far, but we still need much more. If you would like to help, please donate with the pay pal link below.
07/08/08 Update:Our little red boy is at the vet recovering from his surgery and will come back in a few days. We wish him luck!!!
08/01/08 Update:Our little man is more handsome than ever. His eye has healed wonderfully and is just a bit smaller than the other, but that doesn't slow him down!! The two kitties are inseparable and are a complete success.
News
Fur the Love of Paws is there!!!
Fur the Love of Paws is an Charitable, 501c3 organization started by a group of dedicated animal lovers, with a combined 25+ years of rescue experience, who wanted to make a difference in the lives of homeless animals. Currently being operated by volunteers and foster homes, our goal is to provide a shelter for homeless, neglected and unwanted cats and eventually dogs and to open a center to provide sanctuary for animals where euthanasia is never an option for a healthy animal.
We are working tirelessly to raise funds for a new facility to operate in!
By opening a facility without having to rely on foster homes, we will be able to greatly increase the number of pets we can help. We will be able to offer shelter to those animals that may need some extra time before they are adoptable, and offer sanctuary for those who may never be ready.

Who/Why We Are
We are a not for profit, non-euthanizing, up and coming cat (and eventually, dog) shelter/sanctuary in the process of becoming functional. The three founders who started our organization have a combined 25 years of animal rescue experience. As fate would have it, we all ended up working with the same group, and as time went by, we learned that there are many more animals in desperate need of homes than the already overcrowded shelters can handle. As a consequence, thousands of animals are euthanized each year in Maryland alone, simply due to lack of space in shelters. So we decided to volunteer our time and start our own rescue organization, not only for the extreme need, but for our unconditional love of animals. Fur the Love of Paws...Our Purpose
* To rescue and provide shelter, food and medical care for abandoned, abused, neglected and unwanted pets. To eventually re-home these pets into loving families.*To provide a loving, permanent home/sanctuary for geriatric, handicapped or otherwise less adoptable pets at our sanctuary that would not have other sheltering options available to them.
*To support and conduct educational and informational activities to increase public awareness or animal overpopulation, neglect/abuse and proper pet care.
*To provide educational/service learning opportunities for both youth and adult groups in all aspects of animal behavior and care, Either on site, or in schools, etc.
*To provide therapy programming to assisted living, nursing homes, hospital and hospice facilities to educate and enhance the lives of elderly, infirmed or terminal patients.
* to increase public awareness of the benefits of animals in our society and personal lives.
